How deep the field is here
Before you set expectations on how many proposals arrive.
Des Plaines sits 17 miles from Chicago, well inside the radius almost every company in that market already serves. In practice a Board here draws on the whole Chicago field, which is why fee quotes in Des Plaines track the metro rather than the town.
Des Plaines sits in Cook County, alongside 60 other published markets. Statutory deadlines, recording, and in some states inspection requirements are administered at the county level, which is why a company already working in Cook usually knows things a company an hour away does not.
What you get back
Not a list of companies. A document your Board can decide from.
Base fee, contract term, escalator and whether it is capped, onboarding, the full ancillary schedule, the named manager and how many other communities that person carries. Every company answers the same questions in the same boxes.
Each company's own escalator compounded across three years, plus its own onboarding fee and its own estimated ancillary charges. It reorders the ranking more often than not.
An uncapped escalator, a manager who is not named, an ancillary schedule that was not attached. Each flag names the rule that produced it, so your Board can disagree with the rule instead of arguing with a verdict.
What a resident can do without calling anyone, what a Board member can see in the portal, where AI is used in the service, and exactly what is in the monthly financial package.
Upload what you are under today and the comparison stops being "which of these four" and becomes "is any of these four better than what we signed".
Where each director stands, with name, role and time, and a resolution drafted for adoption at your next properly noticed meeting.
What proposals in this market tend to look like

That is a modelled figure for Illinois, not a measurement of Des Plaines, and it is a starting point rather than a target: the proposals your own Board collects are the real number, and the spread between the highest and lowest is usually wider than Boards expect.

The rules that apply in Illinois
In Illinois the governing body is a condominium association and the person running it day to day is a licensed CAM. Proposals from companies that work here will use those words; one that does not is usually a company entering the market rather than operating in it.
765 ILCS 605 (Condominium Property Act); 765 ILCS 160 (Common Interest Community Association Act)
Illinois association lawIllinois requires community association managers to be licensed through IDFPR, with 20 hours of pre-license education.
Licensing detailMost management agreements run an initial term and renew automatically unless written notice arrives inside a window — commonly 30, 60, or 90 days. The window in your own agreement is the one that governs, and missing it by a week is how a Board ends up locked in for another year. Upload the agreement and BoardMatch reads the clause out of it and drafts the letter in the form it requires.
