Jay Rodgers launched into real estate in 1989, following in the footsteps of his entrepreneurial father who passed on his strong work ethic. When Jay discovered his passion for real estate, it allowed him to serve clients, partners and friends in transactions that were critical events in their personal lives. Whether buying or selling homes, Jay's ability to intrinsically understand the needs of each family and translate those into the real-estate marketplace is what sets his talents above all others. Jay's listening skills, creative deal-making, and vast connective reach deliver incredible results in the most competitive of markets. With a solid sales team including a committed support staff who continually earn industry accolades, Jay and his colleagues pride themselves on performing at the highest level. But if you ask Jay, he'll tell you that his proudest achievements throughout his 25 year career are the personal relationships he's formed with each and every client. When not working a deal, Jay can be found playing racquetball, visiting family in the Chicago area, or planning a vacation with his wife and partner Dawn Countryman, or reading the latest best-selling business book of the day.
