Take the part you need. Leave the rest.
These are separate services. None of them is a package, and using one is never a condition of getting another.
Some investors want a second read on a property before they commit. Some want the construction number pressure tested. Some want help through a transaction. The list below says plainly what I can do today and what is waiting on a licence.

Brokerage services are not offered through this site
Nothing on this page is an offer to represent you in the purchase, sale, or lease of real property, and nothing here should be read as a claim to hold an active Illinois real estate licence. The three brokerage rows above stay unavailable until an active licence and a sponsoring brokerage are both confirmed. When that happens, this site will name the licensee and the sponsoring brokerage as Illinois law requires.
02
Property and opportunity review
Available now. Construction and feasibility work, not brokerage.
You bring a property, a block you are targeting, or a short list you are working through. I look at it the way a contractor looks at it. What is standing, what is failing, what the layout will and will not allow, and what a full rehabilitation would actually involve on that structure.
The output is a written read: condition, likely scope categories, the parts of the building that carry the most cost risk, and the questions worth answering before an offer goes out. If the property is a bad idea, that is what the read says.
This is my own opinion on a building. It is not an appraisal, a broker price opinion, or an inspection report.
03
Rehab-aware purchase analysis
Available now. This is construction and feasibility consulting.
An offer is a bet on a scope of work. This is the service that prices the bet. I build the scope line by line, attach ranges rather than a single confident number, and show which lines move the total most if conditions are worse than they look.
It covers what the work is, what sequence it has to happen in, where permits and plan review sit in the schedule, and what a realistic contingency looks like for a building of that age and condition. You end up able to defend your number instead of hoping it holds.
This is not brokerage
Purchase analysis is construction scope, cost, and feasibility work. It does not include showing property, negotiating on your behalf, procuring a property for you, or representing you in a transaction. No agency relationship is created by requesting it.
04
Acquisition representation and investor property search
Depends on an active Illinois real estate licence and a sponsoring brokerage.
This service is not available and is not being offered. There is no buy-side representation, no property search on your behalf, no showings, and no negotiation available through this site today.
What is available in the meantime is the construction and feasibility side of the same decision: reviewing a property you are already considering, and pricing the scope of work behind your offer. That work is described in sections 02 and 03 above and involves no representation of any kind.
If you need representation now, engage a licensed Illinois broker. Why this section is gated.
05
Listing and disposition representation
Depends on an active Illinois real estate licence and a sponsoring brokerage.
This service is not available and is not being offered. There is no listing service, no marketing of property, and no disposition representation available through this site today.
Construction work that gets a property ready to sell is a separate matter and is handled by Homer Reno LLC under its own agreement.
06
Construction consultation, or a referral to Homer Reno
Optional. Nothing above requires it.
If the property is already yours and the question is purely how to build it, that is a construction conversation. Depending on what you need, it is either a consultation on the scope and sequence, or a contracting engagement with Homer Reno LLC, the Illinois construction company I own and run.
Homer Reno is a construction company. It is not a real estate brokerage and it does not provide brokerage services. It carries $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate commercial general liability, and a current certificate of insurance is available on request.
07
Coordinated is not bundled
The distinction matters enough to state twice.
Investors sometimes want one person who understands the acquisition and the construction, because the handoff between those two is where money usually leaks. That is workable. It is still two engagements.
Coordinated planning never means bundled pricing or a conditional service requirement. There is no combined fee, no discount that depends on taking both, and no arrangement where the availability or terms of one service depend on your using the other. Each engagement has its own written agreement, its own scope, and its own compensation. You are free to use another contractor, another broker, or both, at any point.
Where I have an interest on both sides of a decision, you get that in writing before anything is signed. Read the disclosures.
Start with the property, not the service menu.
Tell me what you are looking at and what you are trying to decide. If what you need is not on this page, you will hear that.
