In Down Market, Kiser Group’s Aaron Sklar and Noah Birk Close 78 Buildings in 2024

Aaron Sklar and Noah Birk, Partners at Kiser Group, have achieved a milestone year in 2024, closing an impressive $95 million in multifamily transactions across 78 deals. Specializing in Chicago’s South and West Side neighborhoods, the duo has solidified their reputation as top-performing multifamily brokers in the country by delivering consistent results for clients, ranging from seasoned investors to first-time buyers.

Sklar and Birk’s success in 2024 highlights their unparalleled market expertise, deep client relationships, and strategic marketing approach. Their transactions spanned a variety of property types, from 6-unit multifamily assets to 100 unit+ portfolios, reflecting the dynamic investment opportunities in Chicago’s evolving real estate landscape.

“2024 transaction volume was significantly down across the country. Selling a record breaking amount of buildings this year was a tough task,” said Aaron Sklar, Partner at Kiser Group. “Our team puts their boots on everyday, hits the streets, and figures out how to secure the best outcomes for our clients. I could not be more proud of their efforts.”

One of their standout transactions was a $12 million multifamily portfolio sale in Chicago’s South Side, showcasing their ability to match buyers and sellers while meeting the unique needs of both parties. The pair also facilitated the sale of numerous value-add properties, helping investors identify opportunities to improve assets and grow their portfolios.

“Every block in Chicago has its own personality, upsides and downsides. We take a lot of pride in understanding what works and doesn’t work on every block of this city,” added Noah Birk, Partner at Kiser Group. “Whether working with long-time property owners or new investors, we deliver results that drive their goals forward.”

Despite a fluctuating economic environment, Chicago’s South and West Sides remain robust markets for multifamily investments, driven by affordability, redevelopment potential, and strong rental demand. Sklar and Birk’s ability to adapt to market trends and craft customized solutions has been instrumental in achieving consistent success.

Looking ahead, the team is optimistic about 2025, focusing on expanding their client base, continuing to deliver record-breaking results, and further solidifying their leadership in the Chicago multifamily market.
