It all began with a beautiful home and a big dream.
The Alcove Properties is more than a business—it’s the story of two people combining their unique talents, experiences, and passion to redefine property management.
Andrea’s Journey:
Andrea’s story is one of resilience and determination. Growing up in government housing, she saw firsthand how real estate could change lives. In 2012, she earned her real estate certification and, by January 2013, passed her licensing exam on the first try. Before her test results were even out, Andrea secured a job offer, diving headfirst into the real estate world. By the end of her first year, she had represented over 50 buyers, eventually purchasing her first Chicago property: a beautiful condo in Albany Park.
Jake’s Expertise:
That same year, Andrea met Jake, a construction management professional with a passion for architecture and an eye for investments. With over a decade of experience, Jake’s background in overseeing complex projects and his admiration for historic homes made him the perfect partner—both personally and professionally.
The Alcove is Born:
In 2018, Jake discovered The Alcove, an extraordinary mid-century modern home designed by an architect inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. Together, Andrea and Jake transformed the home into an Airbnb that quickly became a sought-after venue for small outdoor weddings. This venture sparked their shared love for real estate and property management, leading to the creation of The Alcove Properties.
