About Us: Years of Combined Real Estate and Property Management Experience
Our Story
During his tenure at a Fortune 500 company in international markets, Rich Durante identified a significant gap in the market: the need for trustworthy property management for single-family homes. Faced with the challenge of finding a reliable company to manage his personal properties while working overseas, he decided to take matters into his own hands.
In 2001, Rich founded Durante & Rich Real Estate, and since then, the company has experienced remarkable growth. Rich holds a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from the University of Illinois, and he further enhanced his expertise by earning an MBA from the esteemed University of Chicago Booth School of Business. With a strong educational background and a wealth of professional experience, Rich is dedicated to delivering innovative solutions for clients through thoughtful and systematic strategies.
As Durante & Rich Real Estate continues to expand, we have strategically built a team of seasoned experts in real estate and property management. This ensures seamless operations and provides our clients with the confidence they deserve in managing their real estate investments. Our commitment is to empower and serve our clients with excellence.
