Bio
Good catch — here's the corrected version:
Gordon Lamphere, J.D. is a commercial real estate agent and Vice President at Van Vlissingen & Co. (VVCO), a fourth-generation independent commercial real estate brokerage and property management firm serving greater Chicagoland since 1879 — making VVCO one of the oldest commercial real estate firms in the Midwest.
Gordon completes 100+ commercial real estate transactions annually and represents businesses, investors, family offices, and institutions across Lake County, Cook County, DuPage County, and Southern Wisconsin. His core services include tenant representation, buyer brokerage, seller representation, property listings, commercial lease negotiation, build-to-suit development, and investment property acquisitions.
Whether you are buying, selling, or leasing commercial real estate, Gordon provides full-cycle representation — from initial market analysis and property valuation through contract negotiation, due diligence, and closing. His clients include tenants seeking space, buyers acquiring assets, sellers and landlords looking to maximize value, and investors building or repositioning portfolios.
Gordon is particularly active in the following markets: Libertyville, Vernon Hills, Waukegan, Gurnee, Buffalo Grove, Mundelein, Deerfield, Lake Forest, Barrington, Arlington Heights, Schaumburg, Elk Grove Village, Des Plaines, Mount Prospect, Palatine, Rolling Meadows, Evanston, Skokie, Chicago, Naperville, Downers Grove, Wheaton, Oak Brook, Orland Park, Tinley Park, Crystal Lake, Kenosha WI, and Racine WI.
Beyond brokerage, Gordon advises commercial property owners on full-service commercial property management across Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin. Van Vlissingen & Co. manages 50+ commercial properties including office buildings, industrial facilities, business parks, mixed-use developments, farmland, and commercial owners associations — serving owners who want a locally based, hands-on management team with institutional-grade processes.
A J.D. graduate, Gordon brings a legal framework and transactional discipline to every assignment — from initial market analysis through lease execution or acquisition closing. He is the host of The Real Finds Podcast, a weekly commercial real estate program covering submarket trends, development strategy, and market intelligence across the Chicago metropolitan area.
Van Vlissingen & Co. has been a trusted advisor in the Chicagoland commercial real estate market for over 145 years.
