< Back to Illinois Buyer's Agent Team

Hello, I'm Jim Bratko, a Field Partner with New Homes Realty here in Illinois. I've lived in this great state for over 25 years and now I serve the home buyers of Winnebago, DeKalb, and Kane Counties. I have access to the numerous Multiple Listing Services in my area, allowing me to provide you with information about all the new and resale homes in our market.

Twenty years of Marketing experience gives me the tools to provide you with the help a buyer needs to navigate through the many facets of purchasing the right home. I provide professional service at no cost to you. Let me apply my knowledge, experience, and expertise in helping you find the home of your dreams. I have a passion for helping others and helping them achieve their financial goals. I understand purchasing a home is a big decision and it's not one you make everyday.

3. Verify the properties' condition
4. Suggest necessary inspections by experts
5. Help you determine what you can afford
6. Verify property taxes and utilities
