Mike Zucker is a licensed Illinois Real Estate Broker and earned
a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Illinois in
1990. Starting with a $1,000.00 loan and a workstation in the
basement of a multi unit building on Chicago's North Side Mike's
unique vision, leadership, and drive have helped establish the Peak
Properties as one of Chicago's premier mid-sized real estate
development and management firms. Since founding the company
in 1993, Mike has overseen the development and build-out of over
100 multi unit buildings with over $350 million in total property
values and condominium conversions and new construction
developments with over $100 million in total property value.
In addition, he has run the day to day operations of Peak
Properties, which manages over 2,500 residential units and 250,000
square feet of office and commercial properties. As a
Receiver Mike has worked on behalf on multiple Chicagoland area
banks to secure, renovate, or operate the property due the property
being placed into receivership. Because he understands the
many and varied management options available to property owners and
lenders Mike has earned the trust and respect of his contemporaries
and colleagues in the Chicagoland real estate community and has
cultivated strong and stable relationships in the lending community
as well. In an uncertain economic climate such as the one we
are currently enduring, Zucker's commitment to, and insistence
upon, core values of integrity, reliability, and customer
service offers Peak Properties' clients the peace of mind of
knowing the management team watching over their property has the
right priorities in mind. Mike has further distinguished
himself and Peak Properties with his ability to offer guidance with
respect to project feasibility and cost management. His keen
sense of evolving market conditions, his hands on approach to new
business development and his strong background in investor
relations offer a wealth of knowledge and experience to Peak
Properties' clients.
Mike lives in Highland Park, Illinois, with his wife of 14
years, Franny, and their three young children, Easton, Luke, and
Liv.
Mike is deeply committed to community service -- besides
coaching as many sports as he can for his kids, he generously
volunteers his time and resources to the following
organizations: Young Real Estate Professionals, Jewish United
Fund, One Step Up (a summer camp for pediatric cancer patients),
and the United States Holocaust Museum. And yes, he's still
vying for a spot on the U.S. Olympic ping pong team.
