MACK Companies is featured in Chicago Agent Magazine!
Chicago Agent Magazine proclaims that “MACK Companies Brings Luxury Back to Ex-NBA Player’s Mansion.” We must admit that this home was by far the most distressed property that we have ever worked on in this price range. The basement of the home was flooded and contained about 6,000 square feet of water that was about four feet deep. After removing the water, the entire 6,000 square feet had to be remodeled and extensive construction to bring the house back up to code standards after the damage had to be done.
