Why Work with Jake
A Local Agent Who Knows Downers Grove
My Track Record
Downers Grove sits right next to Lisle, where I live. I’ve sold homes here, and I watch this market every week because so many of my Lisle clients compare the two towns.
Across the western suburbs I’ve closed 229 sales, 107 of them as the listing agent, with over 280 five-star reviews. See every home I’ve sold or read what my clients say.
Jake’s Insider Tip
Pricing a Home in Downers Grove
“Downers Grove sold about 500 single-family homes in the last year, from 1950s ranches to brand-new construction on teardown lots. Older homes on large lots are often bought by builders, so knowing the land value of your lot matters as much as the house itself.”
How I Sell Your Home
My 5-Step Plan for Downers Grove Sellers
1. Private Pricing Review
I study the closest Downers Grove sales to your home and send you a realistic price range within 24 hours. No pressure and no obligation.
2. A Prep Plan That Pays
We walk the home together and decide which fixes are worth doing before you list, and which ones buyers won’t pay extra for.
3. Launch to Every Buyer
Your home goes on the MLS, which feeds Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin and agent searches across the area, plus my email newsletter.
4. Negotiate the Best Terms
Price is only part of it. I help you compare offers on financing, inspection terms, appraisal risk and closing dates.
5. Close Without Surprises
I stay on top of the attorney, lender, inspection and appraisal deadlines through closing, so you’re never left guessing.

What does it cost to sell a home in Illinois?
Common seller costs include the real estate commission, your attorney (Illinois sales almost always use attorneys), the owner’s title insurance policy, state and county transfer taxes, and any credits you agree to after inspection. Illinois property taxes are paid a year behind, so sellers also credit the buyer for taxes owed up to closing. I’ll give you a line-by-line estimate of your net proceeds before you list.
When is the best time to list in Downers Grove?
In the western suburbs, the most buyers are out from March through June, and more homes come on the market then too. Homes that are priced right sell in every season, though, and listing in the slower months can mean less competition. I’ll show you how your segment of the Downers Grove market is moving right now.
Which school districts serve Downers Grove?
Downers Grove District 58 and District 99 (North and South high schools), plus a few other districts at the edges. Confirm your home’s assigned schools with the district before you list, since buyers will ask.
