Client Testimonials
★★★★★
"Jake is the BEST. I could not have asked for a better experience. Jake was so supportive throughout the entire process. He answered every question I had, offered incredible insight and made the experience sincerely SO enjoyable. Jake was professional yet personable and truly made a naturally stressful life event into an exciting and smooth transition. Anyone would be lucky to work with such a kind, knowledgeable and amazing person like Jake. I can only hope to work with him for every move I have in the future. I HIGHLY recommend Jake to anyone looking to find their next place to live."

★★★★★
"Jake is THE best realtor I could have ever hoped for! I was a first time homebuyer and moving from Detroit to Chicago. I had a specific list of wants and needs and a short timeframe to find a condo and move. He delivered on every promise he made! Very attentive to my nervousness about moving and lack of knowledge about being a homeowner. His confident and expertise made all my worries go away and I’m a happy homeowner!"

★★★★★
"Jake was the best real estate professional I have ever worked with. He was so personal and really made efforts to find me the perfect housing. Jake's patience and persistence are what set him apart from others. From buying to renting, Jake is able to showcase homes and apartments with enthusiasm and professionalism. I would HIGHLY recommend his services. I plan to connect with Jake for when I decide to purchase my first home in the next 12 months and I am already looking forward to working with him again!"

★★★★★
"Jake was an integral and extremely important part in our move to Chicagoland. He was always accessible and immediately responsive, even when needing to take time off. My wife and I were fortunate to have him as our Realtor."

★★★★★
"Jake was so understanding and really listened to what I was looking for in an apartment. When a listing I had my eye on was taken off the market he immediately followed up with an even better listing that ended up becoming my new home! Highly recommend working with Jake!"

About Jake


Jake is your personal guide to residential real estate in Chicagoland and beyond. He grew up in a family of entrepreneurs. His father, a now retired custom home builder in Michigan, has given Jake an expansive knowledge of construction. Jake’s mother owned a salon for nearly a quarter of a century and taught Jake all about the art of hospitality. Perhaps this is why Jake launched his first successful business in 3rd grade and was featured on the front page of his regional newspaper, the Flint Journal.

The current real estate market in Chicago and the surrounding areas is competitive! Markets vary dramatically from neighborhood to neighborhood. Jake has a unique attention to detail, clients share he is is responsive, fun to work with and innovative in his approach. 

When it is time to negotiate, it is imperative to have a cool head and natural charisma. Jake is experienced with high-stakes negotiations and loves building a consensus among opposing parties.  He will ensure you know your needs are heard and will make you feel as though you are his only client. 

While not at the closing table or showing a home you will often find Jake enjoying his time spent biking, rock climbing, cold plunging (can be seen via Instagram! @jacobtimothee) and walking his dog Jaxson in his neighborhood of Roscoe Village. He loves to entertain, and is never happier than when he has family, friends or clients over to share a meal.
