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.
