We own 1 long term rental and had some experience with rental arbitrage. When our rent arbitrage opporunity ended we were excited to purchase our own property so that we could continue working with the short term rental strategy.
I found Justin on Bigger Pockets and my wife and I worked with him to purchase a property in the Rockford area.
Jusitn was great to work with from beginning to end. He was very timely in communication. He was very knowledgeable about what areas to avoid and which areas to focus on.
When it came time to write up a contract and close the deal, Justin did a lot to help things move along smoothly where they may have been delays with the seller or the attorneys for either party.
Beyond making the deal happen and being easy to work with it was a great learning experience. Justin is a lot farther along in his investing journey and it was really helpful to be able to ask him questions about his process, about how he evaluates deals and about some general constructon/maintenace details. It was also just encouraging to meet someone who is applying the principles of BRRRR strategy and see those principles at work.
Lastly, it seemed that Justin had a lot of integrity and semed to be very trustworthy.
If we do another deal in this area, I know who I will be calling.

It is a pleasure to work with Justin. When searching for a Real Estate Agent I was looking for someone who knows the Rockford area well and who is not just "investor friendly" but also an active investor. I found this and a lot more!
I'm just starting out and sometimes need help tweaking my numbers when analyzing a potential property. Justin is very patient and extremely knowledgeable. If you are looking for an agent in the Rockford Illinois area, you've found one!

I connect with Justin initially on bigger pockets. I worked with him when purchasing my first rental property. His knowledge of the area and knowledge of running a long term rental business was invaluable in helping me find the right first deal. He was very helpful and informative every step of the way. I plan on using Justin again for every purchase in the Rockford area.

Justin served as the real estate agent that assisted me with purchasing my first rental property. As a novice investor, it’s always hard to pull the trigger on the first investment. Justin provided tons of guidance and insight through the entire process. He was also extremely patient while allowing me to figure things out along the way. There was never a time that I felt rushed or pressured. He was very pleasant to work with. If you are in the market for buying real estate in the Northern IL area, Justin will defiantly take care of you. You won’t be disappointed!

Working with Justin was incredible. He is so much more than an agent. He's provided me with invaluable advice multiple times on deals that have saved me from a world of trouble with my properties. I plan on working with him on every future purchase in the area, and I can recommend him without exception.

Justin went above and beyond for us and made the purchase of our first investment property in Rockford a great experience. He is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly. I never ever felt any pressure of any kind and he did a fantastic job guiding me through the process step by step to by my first property. The 5-star experience didn’t stop with the sale, even after Justin connected me to his team of cleaners, handymen, landscapers, and much more which made setting up our Airbnb much easier than it could have been. Highly recommend Justin to anyone lucky enough to get the opportunity to work with him. I’m looking forward to working with Justin again on my next deal in the area.

Justin is one of the smartest and knowledgeable dudes I’ve met. He helped me with my second buy and hold and going from my previous agent to him it was night and day clear Justin knew his stuff. He genuinely gives his feedback and thoughts on each property and won’t try to sell you on something he wouldn’t buy himself like I’ve seen with other agents. He will let you know honestly if a property is worth it or junk and that plus the knowledge of many issues in older homes and how to fix them, along with his depth of knowledge of every single neighborhood and area around Rockford made him by far and away the best agent I’ve met and I’ll 100% use him again for all of my rentals moving forward.

I have worked with Justin on a couple investment property purchases now and can say that I will be reaching out to him again for the next one! Justin is from the Northern Illinois area and is very knowledgeable in the local real estate and rental business. Aside from a realtor, he is also an investor that does his own work on his properties so he is helpful in pointing out flaws and potential money pits in properties. He has a wealth of knowledge in managing investment properties and is willing to help out and answer questions! He is genuine and trustworthy. I highly recommend him!
