DeMarcus Hunter

I’m DeMarcus Hunter, Managing Partner and Founder of Blackstone & Birch Partners, proudly serving the Greater Chicagoland Area. With 24 years of experience living in Chicago and over two decades in engineering and sales management, I bring a unique combination of technical expertise and deep local insight to every real estate transaction.

My work spans residential and commercial real estate, including leasing, business transfers, and property sales. Whether you're buying, selling, renting, or investing, I offer personalized guidance, strategic advice, and tailored listings to help you reach your goals. 

I’m especially passionate about serving Chicago’s diverse communities—particularly the LGBT community, African American professionals, and first-time immigrants. I see myself as a compass for my clients, offering transparency, authenticity, and long-term support that builds lasting relationships.

Outside of real estate, I stay actively involved in local organizations like Black Chicago Eats and regularly participate in community events across the city. This isn’t just about giving back—it’s about staying connected. My involvement helps me understand the evolving needs of our neighborhoods, build trust with local residents, and stay ahead of market trends that impact the people I serve. It’s one of the most rewarding parts of my work and a key reason why I’m able to offer such informed, community-driven service.

Let me help you find your place in Chicago.
