Commercial Division

Janko Realty & Development, operating since 1980, is extensively involved throughout central Illinois in the acquisitions, management and brokerage of commercial/industrial property.

Janko Realty and its affiliated companies are developing three industrial parks with over 400 acres in the Illinois Valley. Janko Realty is a member of the Commercial/Industrial Multiple Listing Service, which covers all of northern Illinois and the Northern Illinois Commercial Association of Realtors. In 1995, Janko purchased four commercial/industrial buildings in the suburbs of Schaumburg, Elk Grove Village, Lake Forest and Bedford Park. The Janko Company plans to continue progressive purchases of industrial buildings as investments.

Janko Realty became an independent in 1995 as the company evolved into more commercial/industrial sales and leasing. The strategy has worked well as many companies are looking to move into rural areas.

Buyers’ Representation

As your Buyer’s Representative, we can make the process of house hunting much easier and more efficient than if you did it all yourself. We can help you get financing, guide you to local neighborhoods, help you determine your budget, and prioritize a list of essential features that you need in your next home. We’ll save you valuable time by finding the properties that best suit your requirements, and will show you only the most promising ones.

Once you’ve found a place that catches your eye, we’ll look at comparable properties in the area to help determine a purchase offer. Then we’ll negotiate on your behalf with the seller to make sure you get the most favorable terms.

It’s our job to look after your best interests, and we will do so at no cost to you as a buyer.

Sellers’ Representation

Selling a house on your own can be an overwhelming task. There’s advertising to plan and budget for, open houses and private showings to arrange, purchase offers to negotiate, contract contingencies to worry about, and complicated paperwork to fill out. Make it easy on yourself by putting your home in the hands of seasoned professionals. We have extensive experience marketing properties and showing them to their best advantage.

First, we’ll perform a comparable market analysis to determine the most appropriate price for your home. Then we’ll provide home staging advice and suggest landscaping changes that will help draw buyers in. We’ll advertise your home through a variety of methods, including local publications and online MLS listings.

When it comes to negotiating a purchase offer, we’ll make sure that you get the best price the market will allow. We’ll help you understand contract contingencies and details of the closing process, in addition to handling all the paperwork for you. Essentially, we’re here to represent you throughout the entire selling process, and to make sure that your real estate transaction is a positive and profitable experience.
