Imperial Realty Company
Alfred Klairmont
CEO │ President
In 1978 Alfred Klairmont joined Imperial Realty Company, a family business his father Larry Klairmont started in 1956. Today, Al oversees Imperial’s portfolio of more than 100 properties in the Chicagoland Metropolitan Area having over ten million square feet of commercial real estate.
Under his leadership Imperial Realty has grown to become one of Chicago’s Largest Real Estate Firms. With an established reputation of integrity and forward thinking and with a long-term viewpoint, Al is hands-on in the process of finding, buying, rehabbing, leasing, managing and maintaining Imperial’s commercial properties. Most acquisitions were purchased as distressed properties and have been subsequently guided to success through rehabilitation and repositioning to meet the needs of the respective marketplaces. Al directs a staff of over 100 professionals which includes legal, architectural, space planning, brokerage, leasing, management and maintenance expertise.
Additionally, in March 2007, Al was inducted into the Chicago Area Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame and in 2015 into The Chicago Association of Realtors Hall of Fame with his father, Larry Klairmont. The two are the first father and son award recipients. Al graduated with his Bachelors degree in Economics from the University of Illinois in Urbana. Among his hobbies are the dozen or so civic boards and committees on which he serves. Al grew up in Chicago’s northern suburbs and resides there with his wife and has three grown children.
