Main Place Real Estate is a boutique real estate company that works full time and works as a team rather than as an individual agent. This means that our customers’ needs are always met and exceeded through the buying or selling process.

Main Place Real Estate helps people with complex, emotional and financially challenging real estate transactions. We do this by serving the best interests of our customers with our professional experience, knowledge and advanced marketing techniques.

In addition to leading a residential real estate team, Main Place Real Estate co-founders and agents Chris Harrison and Zane Peterson guide their clients through commercial real estate investments. Her recent client success stories include helping seasoned investors strengthen their portfolios by investing in property with a net renter, as well as helping new investors discover the benefits of owning investment property.

Chris and Zane are both qualified as Certified Commercial Investment Members (CCIMs). A CCIM certification is equivalent to a master’s degree in commercial real estate. Main Place Real Estate is the only real estate company in Macon County with CCIM agents.

There are four core types of commercial real estate. Based on our clients’ ideal return and risk tolerance, we support them in identifying and investing in real estate investments that are performing well.

Investing in commercial real estate offers numerous advantages that conventional investment instruments do not offer:

  1. OPM Leverage – Use others’ money to invest in more real estate than would otherwise be possible.
  2. Depreciation – Offers tax protection benefits
  3. Usually easier to manage than single family homes – no nightly phone calls through toilets. This is especially true for net leases where the maintenance, taxes and insurance of properties are the responsibility of the tenants.
  4. Acquisition through syndication – pool with like-minded investors to acquire a larger property that a single investor may not be able to buy alone. A small amount of money can buy real estate at a smaller percentage when working with other investors. For example, you could partner up with buying a $ 1 million property, while a $ 100,000 home would require a lot of maintenance.

Our commercial real estate services include:

  • Representing qualified investors for purchase, sale and exchange
  • Negotiate transactions professionally
  • Site selection process
  • Providing commercial evaluation reports and advice

In addition, we are active members of numerous trade organizations:

  • CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member)
  • ICSC (International Council of Shopping Centers)
  • IAR (Illinois Association of Realtors)
  • NAR (National Association of Realtors).
