Rubloff placed #8 for Top Companies and their Magnificent Mile Residential office in Chicago, IL ranked #7 for Top Offices in the Nation. “We at Rubloff have long felt that our industry should be accountable to the public in some quantifiable way for the quality and value of our service and we are very excited to be a QSC company to show our commitment to this concept,” said James Kinney, President of Rubloff Residential Properties, Chicago, IL.

Rubloff has five offices in Chicago including the Goldcoast, South Loop, New Eastside, Lincoln Park, and Sandburg Village, as well as an office in Evanston and another in Harbour Country in New Buffalo, Michigan.
