believe it’s a disservice to tell your kids to chase their dreams if they grow up watching you play it safe.

Our kids are always watching how we work, how we treat people, and how we respond when things get difficult.

My path wasn’t traditional.

I worked construction.

I worked at the prison.

I helped run our family restaurant.

I built a career in real estate.

Today I’m building DeLong Homes and DeLong Junk Removal serving Morris, Joliet, Pontiac, and surrounding communities.

Each step taught me something. And each step shaped the standard I live and work by today.

The DeLong Standard

Be your best.

Take risks.

Be a gentleman.

Help people.

Do what’s right.

That’s the standard behind everything we do.

Real Estate Help in Morris, Joliet, and Pontiac

At DeLong Homes, we help people:

• buy homes
• sell homes
• prepare properties for sale
• navigate estate situations
• handle difficult transitions with confidence

Real estate is rarely just a transaction. It’s often a major life moment. Our job is to make the process clear, steady, and successful.

Junk Removal and Estate Cleanouts That Make Moving Forward Easier

At DeLong Junk Removal, we help families with:

• estate cleanouts
• foreclosure cleanouts
• rental property cleanouts
• downsizing support
• preparing homes before listing
• general junk removal in Morris, Joliet, and Pontiac

Many of the people we help are going through transitions. We take pride in showing up, working hard, and treating every situation with respect.

Building More Than a Business

The goal isn’t just to run a real estate company or a junk removal company.

The goal is to serve people well and set an example my kids can see every day.

That’s the DeLong Standard.

If you need help buying or selling a home, or clearing out a property in Morris, Joliet, Pontiac, or nearby communities, we’re here to help.
