Note from Our President
As the fourth generation of the Kramer family to guide the firm, I am proud that Draper and Kramer has been a vital force in Chicago since 1893. The management team leading us into our second century of service is second to none.
This group inherited a legacy that gave Draper and Kramer important competitive advantages:
- Commitment to Quality and Client Service – We strive for this in each aspect of our business.
- Wide Array of Services – We can do everything from helping an individual find the right apartment, to managing complex real estate portfolios for non-profit organizations.
- Good Corporate Citizen – This is an important part of our history, which includes partnering with others to create safe neighborhoods from struggling areas.
Every day our management team is building on these advantages. Each person you read about on the following pages has a high level of experience in his or her field, often with award-winning results. Together they average 17 years with our company – and many have a longer tenure. This means everyone at Draper and Kramer can draw on the expertise of other in-house specialists, so we can create teams of experts that work well together to address our clients’ needs.
We are proud of Draper and Kramer’s history and experience – and appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you.
Sincerely, Forrest Bailey
