Church Building Consultants Realty helps church leaders through the due diligence process prior to purchasing expensive real estate. The “Due Diligence Process” is critical because buying church real estate is not as simple or safe as purchasing a home. There are complications unfamiliar to most residential real estate brokers, real estate attorneys, capital finance bankers, and generalist architects. Our passion for good stewardship drives us to search out the hazards, and find solutions. We keep a pulse on the real estate market for churches and have created a healthy market for churches in the greater Chicago area.
