Picture this: a native of Poland with years of real estate experience, a vacant office facing the busiest street in Vernon Hills, and a starved soul with a desire to be different. That’s the beginning of our story.
AK Homes was established in 2016 and is deeply rooted in the middle of Vernon Hills. Known to be small but mighty, we strive to offer luxury and personalized service. Here at AK Homes, we don’t believe in the team concept. We have individual agents doing individual things. Our success is embodied by our attitude, our approach, and how we treat our clients. We feel that we’re in the business of caring and caring is what we do.
Although we’re individual, we’re nothing less than family and we welcome you to join ours.

In real estate, the barrier to entry is low. Newly licensed agents are released into the world with the state’s blessing to sell real estate, but many of them lack practical, important knowledge about building up a successful real estate business, such as how to select what brokerage to affiliate with or how to generate leads. On paper, they are qualified. But real estate is a sink-or-swim business, and those lacking the core skills needed to compete will sink.
There are many ways agents can address the education gap. Some may find mentors. Others might latch onto an existing team and “learn on the job” while benefiting from a safety net.
