It all began in Chicago in the mid-1990s, when Mike Golden and Thad Wong met at a small brokerage firm and quickly became the city’s top-selling real estate agents. Recognizing the need for better service and support for both agents and clients, the duo set out on their own to establish @properties in 2000.
Integrating cutting-edge technology with best-in-class marketing, the company grew into one of the largest brokerage firms in the country, leading to the acquisition of the Christie’s International Real Estate global luxury network in 2021. Today, @properties Christie’s International Real Estate is widely considered one of the most innovative companies in the industry.
