Maloney Real Estate

Maloney Real Estate has operated in Chicago, Illinois, since the 1960s, when the James J. Maloney Real Estate company was founded by James Maloney Sr., the father of current President James Maloney Jr. The company continues to grow, acquiring select properties while maintaining a personal touch with clients.

After graduating from Loyola Academy High School in 1977, James Maloney Jr. attended St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wisconsin. He graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Finance in 1981 went to work as a salesman in the municipal bond industry at Bank Northwest (now part of Wells Fargo & Company) and then for Blunt Ellis & Loewi (later part of the Kemper Corporation).

In 1993, James Maloney Jr. decided to join Maloney Real Estate, leaving the municipal bond business in good standing. His father retired soon after from his active role in the company, allowing the younger Mr. Maloney to incorporate the firm in 1995 as Maloney Real Estate, Inc. James Maloney Jr. is now the sole owner and President of the company.

Over time, Maloney Real Estate has grown in size, but it has not lost sight of its core business. With nearly 125 residential units, the company focuses primarily on property management, with some light property development projects. James Maloney Jr. takes great personal pride in the care of Maloney Real Estate’s properties. The company employs only one bookkeeper and one janitor to keep the operation running smoothly for its tenants. Even when the company contracts with other firms for various services, a member of the Maloney Real Estate staff or James Maloney himself accompanies the contractor.
