Chicago Real Estate Office Consolidates Operations To Central Location In New Lenox

Chicago real estate office RE/MAX All Properties recently consolidated all its operations to the new, state-of-the-art office it opened a year ago at 1938 E. Lincoln Hwy., New Lenox, Illinois, while closing its long-time office at 20500 S. LaGrange Road in Frankfort, Ill. The consolidation was completed in April.

Twenty agents from the Frankfort office have now joined the 22 New Lenox agents in a high-tech facility that offers the most contemporary communications technology and a dramatic atrium space to serve consumers better. The office is located in the Atrium Point Professional Building at Schoolhouse Road and U.S. Hwy. 30.

“We actually have nearly as much total space in the current office as we did in the two older offices we had been operating,” reported Leo Koulouris, who along with Don Benkendorf, Jr., is broker/owner of RE/MAX All Properties. “We felt that having a single, large facility just made more sense from an efficiency perspective, and our old Frankfort office didn’t offer all the bells and whistles that the New Lenox office contains. Our agents are eager to show their clients this terrific facility, and it helps build cooperation and teamwork.”

He added that because the Frankfort and New Lenox offices were just four miles apart, there wasn’t a reason, geographically, to keep both open. The New Lenox office also is centrally located to serve the entire Lincolnway area, according to Koulouris, who noted that the office Web site, www.allpropertiesonline.com, plays a key role in delivering that service.

“This area has experienced exceptional growth in recent years and it will continue for some time to come,” Koulouris said. “We are proud that RE/MAX is the leader in the Lincolnway real estate market. Having replaced two older facilities with one that is brand new, we are positioned to maintain and expand that leadership position and grow right along with the Lincolnway area.”

RE/MAX All Properties has been serving the Frankfort-New Lenox area since 1983 when it opened its Frankfort office. A New Lenox office opened two years later.
