Apex Buying and Flipping Homes in Chicago’s Suburbs

Illinois-based Apex National Real Estate, a leader in purchasing, revitalizing and reselling single-family homes, is not interested in any home but insists on acquiring the RIGHT home.

“There are a lot of homeowners in today’s marketplace looking to sell their home and our turnkey approach, in which we pay cash, with no inspection, contingency or appraisal, appeals to them,” said Chris Shaxted, Co-Founder of Apex National Real Estate. “However, we won’t purchase just any home. In fact, for every home we buy, we pass on more than 200 that don’t meet our standards. That’s why you’ll only find an Apex home in the most sought-after neighborhoods with great schools, convenient commuter access and surrounded by excellent shopping and services.”

Currently, Apex has homes available in Downers Grove, Northbrook, Arlington Heights, Skokie and Elmwood Park with an inventory of properties under renovation and going to market daily.

“We focus on buying homes that we can refurbish, typically in less than 90 days, and put back on the market quickly,” Shaxted said. “These home go through a rigorous inspection and structural evaluation, often resulting in bringing homes up to today’s building codes as well as an aesthetic overhaul before we put them back on the market. “

Homes, such as the one at 767 72nd Street in Downers Grove, illustrate the company’s turnkey approach.

Apex completely updated the 2,600-square-foot home with four bedrooms, three full baths and two-car garage. Priced at $399,900, this open floor was enhanced with new windows, hardwood flooring and an eat-in kitchen with breakfast bar, white Shaker-style cabinets, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. All three of the bathrooms were redone with new tile, vanities and showers and new carpeting in all of the bedrooms.

This home is minutes from I-355 and Metra train service in downtown Downers Grove and is served by top-ranked schools districts #61 and #99.

“Sellers come to us for a variety of reasons,” Shaxted said. “Typically, they come to us with a home that’s simply too difficult to sell because it needs a lot of work, or we often have adult children who are trying to sell the home of an elderly parent,” Shaxted said. “We take the property in as-is condition, sometimes not only with all of the repairs that need to be made, but also with personal debris left inside. Hiring us can make life easier on the whole family during this transition process.”
