Commercial Real Estate Associate
premier pursuitOak Park (IL)
About the role
Premier Pursuit is working with a top AmLaw firm that needs a commercial real estate associate in Chicago. The work is the transactional side across the board - acquisitions and dispositions, real estate finance, joint ventures, and development work for institutional owners, funds, and lenders. Some of it is single-asset, a good amount is portfolio. The group is adding capacity because the volume is there, not to replace someone who left. What we think actually matters for this one: you've closed deals at the mid-level, you can read a term sheet and know what to push on, and you want to stay in Chicago. Three to six years is the ideal band, Illinois admission or the ability to waive in. If you're interested, apply to this posting or email us directly at
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
