Ever wonder what it takes to successfully manage properties in a city like Chicago? How do you balance the needs of tenants while maximizing returns for property owners? Jeff Weinberg, President and Founder of Drexel Properties, sat down with the hosts of the Straight Up Chicago Investor Podcast to answer these questions and share what makes Drexel Properties a trusted name in property management.
You may ask, what sets a great property manager apart from the rest? For Jeff, the key is approaching property management with an owner’s mindset—focusing on how every decision affects the property’s long-term value and always striving to "run it like we own it." It’s about prioritizing tenant retention, handling issues before they become problems, and ensuring owners feel confident their investments are in the right hands.
During the episode, Jeff dives into strategies, from how to keep vacancies low to how transparency in financial reporting builds trust with owners. And yes, there’s even some insight into how Drexel tackles the trickier aspects of property management, like navigating tenant turnover or managing unexpected challenges.
Whether you’re a seasoned investor or new to property ownership, there’s something in this episode for you.
