Trusted by owners. Backed by data. Specialized in multifamily across Chicago, the suburbs, and the broader Midwest.
Joey Batliner and Anthony Munoz founded AJ Commercial Group after meeting at one of Chicagoland's largest brokerages. They saw what owners were tired of: generic listings, boilerplate marketing, and brokers who treated multifamily like residential.
So they built the firm they wished existed. Owner-first. Data-driven. Specialized in multifamily across the neighborhoods they actually live and work in. Every deal gets a real strategy — and personal attention from one of the partners.
Meet the full teamWe specialize in advising multifamily owners through every kind of disposition — quietly, strategically, and with maximum upside. Here's how we work.
Quietly connect with our network of vetted, qualified buyers — no public listing, no tenant disruption, no "for sale" signs. Often the cleanest path to a strong number.
A live comparative market analysis using current cap rates, recent comps, and active buyer demand — not a 30-second algorithm pulled from public data.
Preserve equity. Defer capital gains. We help you map the sequence — disposition, identification, replacement — before the clock starts running on day one.
Tenants don't know. Lenders don't know. Until you decide they should. Most of our deals close before they ever hit the open market.
We live and work in the markets we sell in. We know the block, the comps, and the buyers — because we're already there.
Every owner gets a dedicated broker from day one. Same point of contact, every step, every conversation — no hand-offs.
Real photography. Targeted buyer lists. A process built for 2026 — not the old broker playbook from 2010.
We earn the next deal through the last one. Most of our business comes from repeat owners and referrals.
As conversations around potential rate cuts grow louder, let's talk about it: what does a lower interest rate environment really mean for owners thinking about selling now or holding through the cycle?

Get a no-obligation valuation in 48 hours. No tenants disturbed. No public listing. Just a real conversation about what your building is worth — and what the market will pay for it right now.
