WHAT: Rubloff Residential Properties is the premier real estate company serving Chicago and beyond, offering some of the finest properties in the best locations. Some premier properties include the Ritz-Carlton Residences and the George Adamczyk Houses in Winnetka.

WHO: The company’s founder, Arthur Rubloff, built the largest real estate company of its kind in Chicago and is often referred to as “the man who changed the face of Chicago.” Rubloff coined the nickname ”Mag Mile” for the section of North Michigan Avenue that extends from Oak Street to the Chicago River and includes One Magnificent Mile, the location of the company’s award-winning corporate headquarters.

In 1996, the partnership of Howard Weinstein and Tom Horwich acquired Rubloff's residential division. Weinstein had been the company's C.O.O. and president, and Horwich brought a background in real estate development and management.

WHY: Since its founding in 1930, Rubloff Residential Properties has been part of the fabric of Chicago and its outlying areas. Rubloff has been listed as the top-producing office in the Multiple Listing Service of Northern Illinois for the last seven years and more than 90 percent of Rubloff’s sales come from repeat business and referrals. The Quality Service Certification, Inc. recently recognized Rubloff as one of the top 10 real estate companies in North America, delivering the best service quality and customer satisfaction according to consumers.

Rubloff agents are the most successful in Chicago, averaging more than 14 years experience and consistently out performing all other Chicago-area real estate agents. In 2006, Rubloff agents averaged $6.6 million in sales, more than any of their competitors.

WHERE: Rubloff offers seven convenient sales office locations across Chicago, the north suburbs and New Buffalo, Michigan.
