Birk | Sklar Team Aims for One Sale Per Week in 2023
Noah Birk and Aaron Sklar of Chicago multifamily brokerage Kiser Group sold 66 buildings in calendar 2022, mainly on Chicago’s South Side. With the goal to close a building per week in 2023, the Birk | Sklar team is off to a fast start. They had 20 additional buildings in escrow as 2022 drew to a close.
With the challenge of rising interest rates throughout the year, the Birk | Sklar team had to be prepared for anything. “Problems don’t ruin deals but surprises can, and the huge increase in rates came as a surprise to many,” said partner Noah Birk.
The constant changes in the lending environment forced brokers to be nimbler in their approach and more creative in their thinking, according to Birk. “The importance of being able to anticipate potential obstacles weeks/months in advance and create a plan around those obstacles was paramount in 2022,” he said.
