Overview:

ProTen Realty Group/CORFAC International was established in July 2001 by Renee Betzelos and Kurt Walsh, Co-Managing Principal (kwalsh@protenrealty.com or 312-242-6005). Headquartered in Chicago, ProTen/CORFAC is one of the nation’s leading corporate real estate advisory firms focusing on tenant or user/owner representation and investment management services.  Our relationships are based on the highest ethical standards. 

We exclusively represent the interests of corporate space users, and we believe that our clients deserve absolute advocacy, objectivity and accountability.  By this representation, we can eliminate any potential conflicts of interest and deliver the best possible unfettered scenarios from which our clients may then choose.  Our level of commitment is further represented by the hands-on involvement of our principals, who have the reputation for exceptional client service.  ProTen/CORFAC is one of a very few commercial real estate firms that is nationally certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise (“WBE”).

Affiliations & Designations:

ProTen/CORFAC is a member of CORFAC International – Corporate Facilities Advisors.  Founded in 1989, CORFAC is an alliance of entrepreneurial corporate real estate firms that partner to deliver quality and experienced service locally, national and globally.  CORFAC is distinguished by the way we manage multi-market real estate assignments.  Principals from each CORFAC office are involved in and responsible for the work done locally on every assignment.  These principals, as our collaborating brokers, are extensions of a client’s single point-of-contact.  They remain closely connected to your transaction as the local on-the-ground brokers who assist on implementing all local activities including constant re-surveying, showings, architectural meetings, etc.  The true CORFAC advantage is that our clients receive a seamless service orchestrated by experienced professionals who are committed to the project throughout, rather than by a top-down corporate structure.
