Management that shows up in the numbers
We work for owners. Whether you need full management or a second set of eyes on a single asset, the goal is the same: steady occupancy, controlled costs and a property worth more next year.
Hotel operations
Select-service hotel oversight: staffing, revenue management, brand standards and guest experience.
Asset advisory
Value-add planning, renovation scopes, capital budgets and hold or sell analysis for owners and partners.
Leasing and tenants
Marketing vacant space, negotiating leases and keeping the tenants you already have.
What we manage

Offices, retail and hotels run on different calendars, but owners want the same things from each: reliable income, a well-kept building and no surprises.

Approach
How we take on a property
Every engagement starts with the numbers and ends with a report you can read in five minutes.
01
Assess
Walk the property, review the rent roll or STR data, and find where income is leaking.
02
Plan
Set the budget, the capital plan and the targets we'll be measured against.
03
Operate
Run the building or hotel day to day with vetted vendors and on-site follow-through.
04
Report
Monthly financials and a short owner letter: what happened, what's next, what we need from you.
Track record
A downtown Chicago value-add
A mixed-use building in the Loop, bought under-leased and dated. We renovated the space, brought in new national and local tenants and stabilized the income. The building's value more than doubled.

About
Owners who manage like owners
Real Exo Co. is an Illinois company that owns and operates commercial real estate and hotels. We started by managing our own buildings and hotels, and we bring the same attention to every property we take on for others.
We're small on purpose. You'll talk to the people making decisions about your property, not a call center.
