Our Story

Company Profile

Unique from the start

Unique from the start

It all began in Chicago in the mid-1990s, when Mike Golden and Thad Wong met at a small brokerage firm and quickly became the city's top-selling real estate agents. Despite their tremendous success, they recognized the need for better service and support for both agents and clients. So in 2000, the duo set out on their own to establish @properties. Little did they know...
