ATLAND GROUP

“The most effective approach to real estate that I’ve ever experienced” – Chicago Area Developer

OUR STORY

Co-Founders Mike Hulett and Jennifer Liu were former business partners at the boutique River North brokerage firm, Atland Realty LLC until the spring of 2008. After identifying fundamental changes in the state of the industry, they made the decision to merge this successful company with the rapidly growing Jameson Real Estate. They now operate as the Atland Group at Jameson Real Estate. After owning and managing a highly diverse brokerage firm, Jennifer and Mike made the decision to re-direct the team’s focus to their core business specialties: residential buyers and sellers, new construction homes, and office/retail properties - in established Chicago neighborhoods. The result is a highly experienced team of specialists working together to accomplish the individual goals of their valued clientele.

WE ARE NEIGHBORHOOD SPECIALISTS

Over the past 10 years Mike and Jennifer have helped buy and sell property in Chicago’s most exciting and diverse neighborhoods. Today the focus of the team’s business includes near north, west, and south side communities. “The majority of our business is conducted with in a 5 - 7 mile radius of Chicago’s Loop” states Jennifer Liu. Some neighborhoods include: Bucktown, Wicker Park, WestTown, Old Town, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Gold Coast, Streeterville, Logan Square, Lincoln Square, River West, South Loop, West Loop, and Bridgeport.

WHAT MAKES ATLAND GROUP DIFFERENT?

Their team approach is unique. They have the advantage of operating as a boutique business within a larger and more comprehensive company. This allows them unparalleled access to marketing and advertising opportunities, highly competent continuing education and training resources, and the capabilities to solve the most challenging needs of any real estate transaction.

The merge with Jameson offered a fresh start. This meant adapting sales and marketing strategize that are no longer effective in today’s market; embracing cutting edge technologies both online and via the most up to date marketing techniques available; creating a more comprehensive system to monitor traffic and report feedback directly to clients; and most importantly a renewed focus on the core business practices that the team was founded on.

SYSTEMATIC APPROACH: Experienced leadership and agents are complimented by a staff that is second to none. Every “i” is dotted and each “t” is crossed. The job of each team agent is to sell. Instead of entering listings and updating websites, they are out selling and marketing your property. They are researching, showing properties, and negotiating the best terms possible. In essence, focusing on the core business objectives that give the teams’ client’s a decided advantage in this competitive market.

COMMITMENT TO PROGRESS: The team constantly searches for new and exciting marketing venues, creative ways to introduce and advertise properties and more efficient ways for buyers to find the property of their dreams. This pursuit also finds them attending the latest in continuing education and training endeavors offered industry wide.

IN SUMMARY – CSI

If you’re familiar with the television series CSI, then you’ll understand Atland’s approach to real estate. While the show’s detectives incorporate all the latest CSI technologies, they continuously demonstrate the need for good old fashion police work.
