OAK BROOK, IL (July 11, 2022) – Rick Nevarez has been promoted to Director of Acquisitions and Joe Young to Managing Director, Asset Management and Acquisitions. The announcement was made by Gary Rose, COO and President, Clear Height Properties (CHP).

“CHP is focused on building strong, long-term brokerage relationships and being best-in-class in responsiveness,” says Nevarez. “With my focus solely on acquisitions we can broaden our broker relationships and help brokers to successfully sell their properties by providing them a quick turnaround on feedback for investment opportunities they bring to us.”

Nevarez is involved in the DePaul Real Estate Alumni Alliance. He is a graduate of DePaul University, Driehaus College of Business, and a licensed real estate broker in the State of Illinois.

Joe Young joined CHP in 2018 and has previously served as Vice President, Asset Management and Acquisitions. In his new role, Young’s primary responsibility will be overseeing and managing the asset management department.
