POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Meet Francis Greenburger, founder, Chairman & CEO of Time Equities, a global real estate firm with 350+ properties spanning over 43 million square feet across 37 U.S. states and 7 countries, with more than $7 billion in total asset value.

Starting at just 16 years old, Greenburger built one of New York’s most established real estate empires, with an estimated $20 billion invested throughout his career.

His portfolio includes Manhattan’s iconic 50 West, Chicago’s 1000M skyscraper, and major developments nationwide. Nicknamed the “Co-op King,” he converted more than 100 NYC buildings and 10,000 apartments into individual ownership.

Beyond real estate, Greenburger oversees his family’s literary agency, which has represented bestselling authors including Dan Brown, James Patterson, and Nicholas Sparks.

We caught up with Francis to discuss his journey from growing up in debt to building a global real estate business, his biggest developments, and what still motivates him today.

GMM, Lincoln Park!

Home to the free Lincoln Park Zoo, DePaul University, and some of the most sought-after greystones and vintage courtyard buildings in Chicago. It’s one of the city’s most established, most in-demand neighborhoods, and the numbers back it up.

Translation: strong appreciation, fast pace, and tight supply.

If you’ve been thinking about buying or selling in Lincoln Park, timing and pricing strategy matter more than ever here.

Two cities. Two totally different housing stories.

One market is loosening up.
 More breathing room. More house for the money.

The other is tightening fast.
 Prices climbing faster than almost anywhere in the country.

Planting roots or making a move? The market matters as much as the house.

🎲 Gambler? I like the Bears and the money line. 🏈 Fantasy player? I like D’Andre Swift (RB) and Colston Loveland (TE).

JUST CLOSED!

343 W. Old Town Ct. #508 | Chicago
List Price: $525,000
Purchase Price: $535,000
Represented: Buyers

This is what happens when someone hunts for you before a listing even exists.

We found an off-market condo in the heart of Old Town. It checked every box.

They walked in. They fell in love.

We moved fast and locked it up. No one else ever got the chance to see it.

This is why having someone searching every angle for you matters.

Congrats to our buyers on their beautiful new home in Old Town!

Great working with Agnes Donnadieu from Chicagoland Experts on this one.

Buy. Sell. Move with Merel Black.

JUST CLOSED!

5031 N. Kostner Ave. | Chicago Asking Price: $499,000 Sales Price: $550,000 Represented: Buyers

This one moved fast.

We saw it Friday. I called the agent. Asked what it would take to lock it up.

I heard. I shared. We delivered.

Offer strong enough that the sellers cancelled their open house for the weekend. Gone before it ever hit the broader pool of buyers.
The backyard sealed it. Deck. Floating deck. Patio off the garage. And a chicken coop that came with the house.

You better believe I’m getting some eggs out of this.

Congrats to our buyers on your new home (and your new flock). And to listing agent Maureen Nallon on getting this one done.

Buy. Sell. Move with Merel Black.

@tradedchicago 🤝🏻 1613 N Hudson

Sourced completely off market for our clients — a 7-unit investment opportunity in Old Town.

Properties like this rarely become available, so we went the extra mile to uncover an opportunity that wasn’t being publicly offered for sale. (Shout out to my right hand man, @jay_m_castro. This required many months of cold calling and follow up!)

Some of the best deals never hit the market. Proud to have made this one happen for our clients. 🔑
