Background

About Rick Levin

As the President and Founder of Rick Levin & Associates, Inc.(RLA), I lead a team of seasoned professionals dedicated to providing top-tier real estate auction services. With over three decades of experience in the industry, I have successfully orchestrated the sale of diverse property types, from residential homes, to vacant land, to commercial real estate and industrial assets, and hundreds of various personal property assets, including aircraft, vessels, machinery, jewelry, and vehicles. My passion for auctions began with a simple goal: to create a transparent, efficient, and competitive marketplace where buyers and sellers can achieve optimal outcomes. Since founding RLA in 1990, I have remained committed to this mission, leveraging my expertise to drive innovation and deliver unparalleled results for our clients. Throughout my career, I have conducted thousands of successful auctions across the United States, generating significant value for clients and becoming a recognized industry leader, and have been frequently featured in media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Bloomberg, Crain’s Chicago Business, and the Chicago Tribune. One of the highlights of my career was the auction of the iconic Old Chicago Main Post Office. This historic property, which had been vacant for nearly two decades, presented a unique set of challenges and opportunities. Working closely with our client, the United States Postal Service (USPS), our team at RLA took on the task with dedication and strategic planning. The auction attracted significant interest from developers and investors, ultimately leading to a successful sale that paved the way for the property's revitalization and redevelopment into a vibrant, mixed-use complex. This project exemplifies our ability to handle high-profile auctions and deliver exceptional results for our clients.
