Russell Wedge

Growing up in Rogers Park, Russell considers himself a true Chicagoan with an extensive understanding of the city and its nuances. After graduating from the University of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor's in Marketing and a Certificate of Communications, he decided to pursue a career back in the city he loves and quickly realized he thrived when it came to property management.

Rising quickly through the ranks, Russell joined Fulton Grace with a blank slate and keen attention to detail. He was quickly promoted to a property manager and, ultimately, a senior property manager - the latter of which gave him the opportunity to manage his own team and oversee one of Fulton Grace's largest portfolios. At any given time, Russell has an understanding of everything going on within the team's managed units and delegates to his team as needed to ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Russell's eagle eyes, knowledge when it comes to maintenance and tenant relations as well as demonstrable ability to lead a successful team makes him an asset to Fulton Grace!

Outside of the office, you might find him cycling the lakefront path, at one of his favorite local Uptown restaurants, or at one of the many live music venues the city has to offer!

OUR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Whether you’re thinking about purchasing a new investment or leasing your existing property, consider hiring a property management company. From navigating tenant problems to ensuring timely repairs, managing property is a lot of work that requires a great deal of attention and experience.

Before beginning your hunt for a property management company, consider the property needs, key duties, and qualities necessary to recruit the ideal tenant for you, your budget, and your future tenants. Our property management departmental structure ensures accountability, availability and responsiveness.

While you will be assigned one primary point of contact, a Property Manager, you will be supported behind the scenes by layers of professionals. We are readily available and on call for emergencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Additionally, we pride ourselves in responding to tenant and owner inquiries & maintenance requests in a very timely manner. 

TECH-SAVVY RENT MANAGEMENT 

Our online rent payment system simplifies payment for tenants, resulting in more effective and timely collection of rent. We direct deposit the monthly rental income into our owners’ bank accounts, ensuring they receive funds efficiently. 

TRUSTWORTHY MAINTENANCE 

We include 2 free hours of labor each month provided by our licensed and insured handymen. For more complex issues we have an extensive rolodex of trusted and reliable contractors.  

MINIMIZE VACANCIES + MAXIMIZE INVESTMENTS

 If tenant turnover is needed, we prepare a rental analysis, advising landlords on current rental market value before placing a property on the market. We also begin the process of locating replacement tenants well in advance, ensuring there is minimal to no downtime between tenants, which in turn maximizes the return on our owner's investments. 

MOVE IN + MOVE OUT INSPECTIONS 

Our property managers conduct thorough move-in and move-out inspections, assessing potential tenant damages and any turnover repairs or improvements needed. We are well versed in navigating quick turnovers and have a robust database of trusted vendors to aid in the process.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our robust property management software enables us to provide our landlords with detailed monthly and year-end financial reports, ensuring our landlords are kept up to speed on their property’s financials.
