Essex Realty Promotes Two to Director

Derek Kaptanoglu and Anthony Citriglia both have been promoted to director at Essex Realty Group. Previously associates with Essex Realty who joined in the spring of 2019, Kaptanoglu and Citriglia have worked together on the brokerage team led by managing director Brian Kochendorfer and director Brian Karmowski.

As associates, they concentrated primarily on the acquisition and disposition of multifamily and mixed-use investment real estate. Responsibilities include asset valuation, market research and analytics, and business development throughout the Chicagoland suburbs. 
 
Prior to joining Essex, Kaptanoglu worked as a sales and leasing associate for Starboard Commercial Real Estate in San Francisco, where he guided local and national clients with their commercial real estate lease obligations.
 
Citriglia previously worked as a commercial real estate broker for @properties in Chicago, where he specialized in the transactions of retail, hospitality, and multifamily properties. He is currently obtaining his CCIM accreditation.
