He also served as managing director and established the investment services practice at NAI Hiffman, one of Chicagoland’s largest full-service commercial real estate firms. His primary focus is achieving the optimal value for clients as he advises them in the disposition and acquisition of commercial real estate. With holistic knowledge and vision of all industry aspects including development, legal processes and financing strategy, he has guided more than $1.5 billion in retail, industrial and office closings during his prolific career. Chad’s client list includes institutional owners: Inland Group of Companies, Hudson Advisors, Torchlight, CIII, BMO Harris, RBS Citizens and many others.
