Justin Elliott Email and Phone Number

In October of 2015, Justin founded Elliott Capital with the objective of continuing to acquire value-add multi family assets. With his experience and knowledge in the Chicago multi family market, Justin is well positioned to continue his successful track record of acquiring, stabilizing and repositioning apartment buildings.

After graduating from University of Iowa, Justin returned to Chicago and quickly began his career trading commodity futures at the Chicago Board of Trade. After 5 years of successful trading, Justin took that experience and knowledge and partnered with college friend Andrew Ahitow to found Chicago Apartment Finders (CAF), which quickly grew to become Chicago’s largest and most valuable apartment brokerage averaging over 6,000 transactions per year. Between 2002-2014, Justin served in various capacities as CEO and Director of Operations. In September of 2015, after 12 years of dynamic growth and expansion, Coldwell Banker acquired CAF in a successful transaction.

In 2008, while growing CAF, Justin used his entrepreneurial spirit to help form Marc Realty Residential (MRR), a joint venture established between Marc Realty and Chicago Apartment Finders. The investment thesis was based on using CAF as a platform to acquire, lease, manage, and complete construction of multi family assets. As Director of Leasing and Operations, Justin played an instrumental role between 2008-2015 in acquiring and stabilizing a portfolio of 1500 apartments units across 100 projects on the north side of Chicago.
