I'd think twice about buying any property developed by New West Realty. They developed my property…read moreand I'm still dealing with issues not only with the building construction itself but also the developer. Since 2/3 of the building has not sold, they refuse to pay their share of the assessments for repairs needed on simple, yet vital things such as repairs to security gates. It seems the developer is only interested in selling the units but does no follow up with buyers with regards to punch list items and other issues that arise from new construction. In addition to being negligent, they are down right disgustingly greedy and rude. To think they can't so much as pay for a repair in a building they turned over an association for, but still own property in is beyond description. Before purchasing a unit from them, please hire a good inspector to check for leaks near doorways, windows, proper tuck pointing, working buzzers in security gates, and even making sure light fixtures are centered and properly installed. Rush jobs on construction led to some fundamental errors in construction where the developer's only interest, it seems, was to pass inspection and sell the unit. If you insist on taking advantage of real estate market and buy in spite of my advice, I'd say you make sure you get a promise for repairs in writing with stamped notary to legalize all documents received from them. Before closing, I was promised by Frank Mauro that all my punchlist items would be addressed and when I closed, NONE of them had been repaired. More than a year later and I was still trying to get the security repaired. I'm completely disgusted with the developer and worse, marred by my first home buying experience.

My previous review was removed, so here goes again…read more I applied for and paid an application, credit check fee ($59) for a unit in a condo building. I nor the rental agent ever hear one word back from Thornton and was left to assume that I didnt get the unit. It then dawns on me that as a victim of identity theft, I have alerts on my credit file that require that they call me any time I request to have my credit pulled. I was never called to authorize the credit pull, nor does it show up on my credit report as a hard inquiry. I do not believe that my credit was pulled.....it seems like they just took my money. I called the owner and he had every excuse for why no one called to give me an update and for why I am not due a refund for the fee. Don't bother with these crooks. They're unprofessional and will just take your money

I rented from Thornton Properties and strongly recommend that you do not make the same mistake…read more I've lived in Chicago for many years and this was the most unprofessional, untrustworthy and volatile landlord I have ever personally experienced. The tenancy ended when I terminated the lease due to material non-compliance with the Chicago Landlord Tenant Ordinance. The exterior and interior walls were not maintained and not watertight. Better have the pots and pans ready when it rained. Stagnant water backed up from the waste lines and remained stagnant in the dishwasher. The tenancy commenced with me being informed by the then Property Manager informing me he was busy and would provide a key later that night as my moving van and movers were sitting outside the entrance. I was taken back that it seemed perfectly reasonable that I wait outside with my belongings for 9+ hours until it was convenient for him to provide the keys. Once I got into the unit, I discovered the windows and storm windows were locked shut on a 90 day. I was informed it would be $200 fee to "open the windows". There were numerous unprofessional shenanigans during the tenancy. A common tactic deployed by Thornton Properties was to tack on exorbitant and entirely unjustified fines to the rent due statement for contrived off the wall offenses. I demanded proof and none was ever provided. My attorney suggested this may be considered harassment and that I would be wise to log each contact. My exterior windows were never washed during my entire tenancy. The sidewalks and rear alley were never shoveled during a snow event. The hallway had water damage from the leaky exterior walls and roof. Package delivery was an issue because only USPS carriers had an exterior key. To top it all off, the heat was the tenant responsibility so my total outlay was not too different than if I simply rented from the nicer, far better maintained building across the street. I have photos, emails and logs I would be happy to share with anyone on the fence about renting. Also note that all the negative experiences come from accounts with multiple reviews. The 5 star reviews all mostly come from accounts with 1 review. One reviewer (Alison H) is from an employee of Thornton Properties. That should support the untrustworthiness of this organization.
