Buyer representation
Buying starts with getting pre-approved, then touring homes, writing a competitive offer, and closing. Each stage comes with realistic expectations, whether the home is a townhome, new construction, or a house that needs updating.
How it works
The work that decides a search happens before the first showing. I start with your budget, your commute and your timeline and use them to rule places out, so a day of showings is a short list of homes worth the drive.
At each house I am checking what it will cost you to own: the age of the furnace and water heater, signs of water in the basement or crawlspace, and how the ground slopes away from the foundation. You hear that before you write an offer, while it can still change the number.
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Blake to buy our first home, and honestly can't imagine doing it without him. From the first showing it was obvious he lives and breathes Naperville real estate. Half the time he knew the ins and outs of a house before we even walked in. Where he really shines is during showings. He checked foundations, crawled into the crawlspace, tracked down manufacturing dates on the furnace/water heater, took quick notes on everything— and spotted little things I wouldn't have even thought of. We'd ask a random question in the driveway and he'd circle back with an answer later, even ones we forgot we asked. He was always available too. Late-night texts, early calls, weekend walk-throughs, endless “what ifs.” Never felt rushed or like we were bugging him—we always felt like his #1 priority. Bottom line, Blake is hardworking, super knowledgeable, and actually cares. We can't recommend enough! Thanks Blake!

Blake was a phenomenal help! My husband and I were first time home buyers and Blake took us through the entire process with knowledge patience and kindness. He became the first and last person I'd txt every day and when I needed to see a house he made it happen. Would not have found our dream home without him!
