GC Realty Investments has been doing real estate investing since the early 2000s. GC Realty Investments is a subsidiary of GC Realty & Development, LLC – a full service real estate investment company. Our roots are in property management. When we started our business, the goal was simple: Make our customers money. If we helped our customers make money, they would want to buy more property with us as their agent, and then we could manage more. If we protected our clients bottom line then our business would grow. And it did. It allowed us to start. We have bought, rehabbed and rented over 480 cash flowing properties since 2005.

It all started with the idea: “If our clients can make money on rental properties with us doing all the work, why can’t we?” Before the company became known GC Realty Investments, Mark and Bryan started with purchasing some rental properties in 2005. Over the years our business evolved and in 2009 GC Realty Investments was born. We provide fully rehabbed turnkey investments properties to investors all over the world. GC Realty Investments mission is simple: provide the highest quality rental units at an affordable price and rejuvenate neighborhoods that have fallen on tough times. We buy distressed properties and restore them.
GC Realty Investments was founded in 2009 in order to enhance the neighborhoods and improve the living conditions for those in neighborhoods that have been forgotten. Since then we have bought and renovated over 250 homes on the South Side of Chicago. We’re pretty good at this business.
Today we have 4 lines of business:
- We sell and lease residential investment properties
- We sell and lease commercial properties
- We manage residential properties
