Kiser Group Promotes John George and Joe Bianchi to Directors

Kiser Group, the brokerage specializing in multifamily and seniors housing, announced the promotions of John George and Joe Bianchi from Advisors to Directors, recognizing their contributions to the firm’s continued growth and its long-standing commitment to developing leaders from within. After four years with the firm, George and Bianchi also become the youngest Directors in Kiser Group’s history.

Since joining Kiser Group, George and Bianchi have built successful multifamily investment sales practices throughout Chicagoland and its suburbs by consistently delivering success for clients and demonstrating the values that define the firm’s culture: building lasting relationships, embracing accountability, and advising clients throughout the investment lifecycle.

“For more than 20 years, Kiser Group has believed that great advisors are developed through mentorship, accountability and an unwavering commitment to clients,” said Lee Kiser, principal and managing broker of Kiser Group. “John and Joe embody the culture we’ve worked hard to build. They have earned the trust of their clients by combining deep market knowledge with relentless preparation, integrity, and a genuine commitment to helping owners and investors achieve better outcomes. Their success reflects how we develop leaders from within and why our clients continue to rely on Kiser Group for advice across the full investment lifecycle.”

George said the firm’s culture of mentorship and high standards established by senior leadership played a significant role in his development.

“Achieving this so quickly is a testament to the grind Joe and I have put in day in and day out—the early mornings, the late nights, the deals that fell apart before they came together,” George said. “It hasn’t come easy, but it’s proof that grit and doing right by our clients pays off. I’m grateful to Noah Birk and Aaron Sklar for the foundation they gave us, and we’re just getting started.”

Bianchi said the firm’s emphasis on consistency and client success has shaped how he approaches every assignment.

“We’ve learned that a successful career in brokerage is directly correlated with the success of the clients you serve,” Bianchi said. “Those who entrust John and me to represent them know that we have their best interests in mind and have their back at every turn. Having the opportunity to learn under Noah Birk and Aaron Sklar has been our greatest advantage. Among many other lessons, they’ve taught us that persistence and consistency are paramount—and that, in this business, success often comes from simply picking up the phone, even when you don’t feel like it.”

Aaron Sklar, partner at Kiser Group, said the promotions reflect more than production—they recognize the behaviors that define the firm’s culture.

“John and Joe have been on a meteoric rise since they started in the business, and it’s been a wild ride watching them develop into the top producers they are today,” Sklar said. “Their work ethic, persistence and commitment to their clients have set them apart from the beginning. They’ve earned the trust of their clients and everyone on our team, and they continue to raise the bar for themselves and those around them. This promotion is incredibly well deserved, and we’re excited to see what they accomplish next.”

Noah Birk said their advancement reflects both their individual commitment and the strength of Kiser Group’s approach to developing future leaders.

“It’s to the surprise of no one that John and Joe have had so much success so early in their careers,” Birk said. “These guys bring great attitudes and unmatched effort to all that they do. Sky is the limit for both of them. It’s going to be exciting to watch their continued rise.”

As Directors, George and Bianchi will continue advising owners and investors on acquisitions, dispositions and strategic investment decisions while taking on expanded leadership responsibilities, including mentoring the next generation of Kiser Group Advisors.

Their promotions reinforce Kiser Group’s commitment to developing exceptional talent and building a culture where expertise, accountability, relationships, and client commitment create lasting value for clients. As the firm continues to grow, it remains focused on developing professionals who don’t simply broker transactions—they help owners and investors unlock greater value by advising, positioning, and creating markets across the full investment lifecycle.
