Advantage Management Reviews

I've had the pleasure of working with Advantage for 9.5 years for my condo. Initially, they were decent, but with a new manager in 2019 for the building, things improved drastically. Responses were very quick and solutions were presented in a very timely fashion. Highly recommended

Advantage is a first class property management team that always considers the best interests of the HOA. Chuck Blatt is a joy to deal with and offers effective solutions when issues arise. A+

Good Management company. Their new offices are very nice. Looking forward to working with them next year.

We have spent 18 very unfortunate years under their property management and were consistently disappointed by their unprofessionalism and poor service. Two different property managers, Eric Ruby and "Chuck" Blatt, both failed to address issues in a timely or respectful manner. Communication was dismissive, rude and threatening, solutions were delayed for months, and basic accountability was nowhere to be found. Ownership is more concerned about bullying owners than actually running a legit business. On top of that, Advantage creates an environment where raising concerns feels dangerous — like…

I have been on the board of a Northshore condominium building for 2 years and have had the pleasure of working directly and very closely with Advantage. Advantage has been managing the building for many years prior to my becoming a board member. Even when I contacted management, as just a unit owner, Advantage responded to my inquiries or concerns promptly. Advantage has been such an integral and supportive part of our building and association. Their support and guidance were never more evident than during the recent renovation of our lobby. We clearly could not have done it without them. The…

I'm on the board of my condo association and we switched to Advantage after several horrible years with Hales. Chuck, our property manager, has many years of experience and has provided invaluable expertise in everything from day to day care of the building to larger projects and managing vendors. Chuck provided us so much guidance and Advantage runs a series of educational programs for board members on a range of different topics relevant to properly managing an association. Overall, we got a much higher quality service for significantly less money than what we were paying the previous manage…

Chuck and the team are excellent. We went through multiple management companies before they took over Chicago Daily News Condos. They did a great job getting things done.

Advantage Managment took over management of our 12-unit condo building in Bucktown around 3 years ago after years of self-management and then a few years of questionable management with another agency. Chuck Blatt, our property manager, has been incredible to work with going above and beyond throughout a huge special assessment construction project, and helping get our building to such a good place. Highly recommend!

Property Management companies are a dime a dozen in Chicago, and most are useless at best, but Advantage Management has been nothing short of fantastic to work with. Kenny Parquette and everyone else at Advantage Management I've interacted with have been prompt and attentive at addressing my and the building's concerns. Couldn't ask for more from a property management company, and happy that we have them at our building.

I lived in a condo building in the West Loop in Chicago for 7 years that was managed by Kenny Parquette of Advantage Management, and they consistently provided quality service. Kenny is attentive and hands on, easy to work with, never missed a Board meeting, and responds promptly and thoughtfully to emails from residents and Board members. Advantage will be on site when there is any kind of issue, often in minutes, whether it is during the day, night, or on a weekend. Our custodian crew and engineer staff are also excellent. Highly recommend.

Wow, I had the worst experience ever with these guys this week. Alexander Pinkser was unprofessional and extremely unhelpful, and Jeff Blatt and Adam Stolberg were infinitely worse. I wish I could give minus-five stars.

Advantage Management is a professional and reliable company that truly cares about their clients. Their team is responsive, knowledgeable, and always goes the extra mile to ensure everything runs smoothly. They provide clear communication and excellent service, making them a trusted partner in the community. Great service and great people, and if you ever need your vehicle looking just as well-managed and polished, stop by Auto Gallery Spa & Repair here in Skokie for a complete clean and shine.

One star feels generous. Adam Stolberg was unprofessional, disorganized, unhelpful and generally unpleasant every time I had to interact with him. I don’t understand how one man could be so loud and so angry but accomplish so few tasks. Our building’s trash was always overflowing, he wouldn’t coordinate putting salt down when it snowed, there was one time he went around “checking keys” which involved just ripping apartment doors open and slamming them a moment later (no knock, no hello, no email heads up whatsoever like dude what), he changed our community gate code but then “couldn’t remember…

The property management company has neglected essential maintenance of common areas, including the roof and tuckpointing. This lack of maintenance has led to water leaks, structural damage, and potential safety concerns for residents. Despite multiple reports and requests from residents, the management failed to take timely or effective action. Responses were often delayed, and promises to address the problems were unfulfilled. The deteriorating infrastructure lowers the property's value and increases stress for residents. they recommend vendors that are incompetent and it have cause more cost…

Beware - this management company is probably one of the worst in the whole city, definitely the worst I have ever experienced in my life. It's a nightmare to be managed by a rude and unresponsive company. They do not listen to valid concerns and prefer to point fingers and shift blame anywhere but themselves. I have personally witnessed and heard accounts of current and former tenants their unethical and sketchy business practices. Save yourself a headache and do NOT do business with them.

The team at Advantage Management truly care about their clients and go the extra mile. Condo Management is a thankless job, and I would like to formally say thank you!

Super responsive, strong communication skills. Kenny has been our point person for years and our building even followed him from one company to the next.

My family (wife and 2 kids) has lived in homes (buildings) directly managed by Advantage Management's Kenny Parquette and Andrea King for 11 years now. They've elevated our experience through value-add proactive communication, rapid response times, quick resolution to issues and continued sharing of their expertise. In short, they've elevated our living experience with their first-class service and care. Thank you!!
