Noah Birk and Aaron Sklar with Kiser Group Oversee $1 Billion-Plus Chicago Multifamily Brokerage
Noah Birk and Aaron Sklar, partners at Kiser Group and co-leaders of the Birk/Sklar team, have specialized in Chicago multifamily investment sales since 2012. Founded in 2017, the Birk/Sklar team has generated over $1 billion in transaction volume and an average of about 50 buildings sold annually.
The team concentrates on Chicago’s West and South Sides, both of which have become more active investment sales markets since Birk and Sklar launched the team. Their sales record includes transactions that have been featured in Crain’s Chicago Business, The Real Deal and other publications. Birk has been named a CoStar Top Broker in Illinois and Broker of the Year by RE Journals. The Birk/Sklar team has also won RE Journal‘s Broker Team of the Year award three consecutive years.
Birk is also an active multifamily investor. He and his partners have assembled a Chicago-area portfolio consisting of more than a dozen properties with a value of $70 million. The group has expanded into development, joining Range Group as a joint-venture partner on a 70-plus-unit Fulton Market project.
These are some of the reasons why Noah Birk and Aaron Sklar were selected to receive ApartmentBuildings.com’s AB 100 Dealmaker of the Year Award, which recognizes those who demonstrate creativity, skill and success in the multifamily industry.
