Brook Swientisky

As the owner of S&J Property and the primary investor on 4853 S Eagle Circle in Aurora, I’m extremely proud of how this project turned out. We purchased the home through a foreclosure auction, renovated it to like-new condition, and ultimately sold it for $630,000, which was a recent record price in the neighborhood. The home also went under contract in just 16 days, which says a lot about the quality of the renovation, pricing strategy, marketing, and buyer demand despite a slow winter market. Brook helped us throughout the entire process—from evaluating the foreclosure auction opportunity and thinking through the purchase, to helping guide renovation decisions, positioning the finished home, and getting it sold. His background as a builder, investor, real estate professional, and mortgage broker gave us a serious advantage. He understands the numbers, construction quality, buyer expectations, and how to present a property so it stands out. This was not a quick cosmetic flip. We made major improvements, including the roof, windows, HVAC, kitchen, baths, flooring, fixtures, paint, and finishes. Brook helped keep the focus on the upgrades that would create real value for buyers and separate this home from the surrounding competition. The results speak for themselves: under contract in 16 days, sold for $630,000, and a record sale for the neighborhood. I would highly recommend Brook to anyone buying, selling, investing, or renovating real estate. He brings real-world experience, straight advice, and knows how to get results.

Buying my first home at 20 felt like a big move, but working with Brook made it strategic instead of stressful. Yes, he’s my dad — but more importantly, he’s an experienced real estate agent and mortgage broker who understands how to structure deals for long-term wealth building. He didn’t treat this like a simple first-time purchase. We built a plan. I purchased my first property in Aurora and am renting out half the home to offset expenses while I save for the next one. The goal is to convert this into a full rental and repeat the process — using real estate leverage to build equity early. What made a huge difference was having both the real estate and financing handled together. Brook coordinated the loan structure with the offer strategy, walked me through payment scenarios, and made sure everything aligned with my long-term investment plan. The process was smooth, organized, and clear from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone who thinks beyond just “buying a house” and helps you build a strategy, Brook delivers.

Brook is AWESOME! He has tons of knowledge and made our first time home buying experience easy. He took the time to explain everything and walk us through each step and what to expect. We have already recommended him to our family and friends who are looking to buy. We can't say enough good things about him.

Brook helped me navigate my first home purchase. He helped me every step of the way with all of my, sometimes unrealistic, expectations. At first, I was interested in duplexes as investment properties, then I shifted toward single family homes to live in. Brook was enormously helpful every step of the way, in every direction I turned. He has been in the industry for almost a long as I've been alive, and it showed! I will recommend him to everyone I know buying (or selling) a house!
