Kevin Rocio
Clarity closes the deal for Chicago investors moving on multifamily & commercial assets.
How to Reach Kevin
Built on relationships, not just transactions.
Commercial real estate isn't a job I clock into — it's what I study, live, and execute every day. As Founder of ROC Advisory Group at @properties Commercial, I work with investors and owners moving on multifamily and investment assets across Chicago and the surrounding markets.
The clients I work best with want more than a closing — they want a strategist in their corner. Whether that's acquiring a six-unit, repositioning a twenty-unit, or exiting a portfolio built over decades, my job is the same: make sure you see the numbers, the risk, and the real opportunity before you commit to any of it.
I've built this business since 2011 on relationships and referrals, not cold pitches — and I intend to keep it that way.
One Team, One Standard.
Kevin doesn't work alone — ROC Advisory Group is the commercial division behind him.
ROC Advisory Group is @properties Commercial's leading team — a division built for niche-based advisory work across the acquisition and disposition of commercial real estate, plus landlord and tenant representation.
In just 10 years, the team has closed a combined $200 million in commercial transactions, built on repeat clients and referrals rather than one big deal.
Three Steps, Every Deal.
Run the numbers before we run the deal
Every property I represent gets fully underwritten first — rent rolls, expenses, real comps — so buyers and sellers are negotiating off real numbers, not a hopeful listing price.
Find the deal that isn't listed yet
The best commercial opportunities in Chicago rarely hit the open market first. I work my network and relationships to bring clients inventory other agents never even see.
Manage the file to closing, not just to contract
From the LOI to the final walkthrough, I stay hands-on through financing, inspections, and negotiations — so nothing falls apart between signing and closing day.

Key Takeaways From The Talk.
Four things every attendee leaves with — whether they're buying their first building or their fiftieth.

How to underwrite before you fall in love with a deal
A simple, repeatable framework for stress-testing a property the way a lender would — before emotion enters the decision.
Where Chicago's next opportunity is hiding
Which neighborhoods and asset types are quietly repricing right now, and why the obvious listings are rarely the best ones.
What separates a broker from a true advisor
How to tell the difference — and what to expect from whoever you choose to represent you on your next deal.
