Steele Consulting Group’s founder and CEO Hasani Steele was recently featured in Chicago Agent Magazine. He discussed his involvement with political leaders in communities where SCG has spread the positive effects of continued development. “Steele sees politics and real estate as symbiotic. Government officials work for the best interests of their constituents, just as agents work to assist communities through the development and sale of properties. The taxes generated by these transactions drive the development of amenities that make the community more livable and appealing.”

The relationship between politics and real estate is a topic of ongoing internal discussion for SCG. For elected officials to make their areas more attractive to homebuyers, Anthony Kolodziej notes commercial development and the upkeep of empty lots, sidewalks and streets as two key areas of focus. Long-time resident of Logan Square and SCG Office Manager, Felicia Franks, has realized firsthand the importance of the two industries’ interaction considering the significant emergence of her neighborhood. “Attending ward and local CAP meetings keeps agents informed on community improvements as well as what services are needed. Being familiar with politics on a local level allows for growth that is healthy and welcomed.”
