Jelani Realty Advisors

Because of my Experience and Knowledge, I utilize my License differently than your average Realtor. With an Investor’s mentality, I represent clients with “Minimum” emphasis on Commissions and “Major” emphasis on the Client’s equity position inside the deal as well as their Satisfaction. The company’s motto is derived from it: Buy or Sell, your Deal should make CENTS!! Because of this mindset, I’ve represented a “slew” of clients (1st time Buyers as well as neophytes and experienced Investors). Through my representation, the average client nets over $20,000. Even in these challenging times of Short Sales, Foreclosures, Evictions, my drive in assisting, advising and consulting has only elevated in the attempt to achieve Financial Freedom for my Clients! My Mission: "To Master the principles of Time and Money Management while creating Wealth through Superior Representation of our Clients in Education, Valuation and Loss Mitigation."

Patient Realtor

Dorian was a patient realtor. It took from May 2009 to December 2010 to get a home. Dorian was there every step and seller. I have been through several showing and offers. He was understanding that I did not want to deal with heavy mold and/or a bad roof. I thank him for his patience and time.

my experience with Mr. Johnson was the best. i am a new home owner. Mr.Johnson was there all the way to the end. he is the best.






My First Building

This was my first time buying property of this nature and Dorian was GREAT with keeping my interest in mind, responding to my calls in a timely manner and even suggesting classes that were very helpful as a new landlord. I simply would not have any other person on my side and plan to work with him on the next purchase.

Let me explain why you want Dorian on your team. I'm the kind of person who does his own research beforehand when looking to purchase property. Plenty of other realtors, when presented with my "homework", ask me "how much do you want to spend?" - wrong answer. That completely disregards the effort I put forth as a client. Not with Dorian. He always had my interests first. Plenty of times, in less than 6 hours after finding a property of interest, Dorian and I were doing a walkthrough. REAL customer service. Always on his "A" game. You couldn't pray up on a better realtor.






His incredible work made it possible!!!

Dorian, Dorian, Dorian, you made it possible!Thank you so much for all your help through this long process that you made it short. Buying a short sale property can be a long process and sometimes stressful dealing with the Lender, but Dorian's incredible and professional work made it possible and easy. I felt so relief with his incredible help, trust and honesty. Thank so much again Dorian for walking with me through this process, and I thank God for putting me a trustworthy and honest person like you in this road. Keep up the good work, incredible agent, Dorian, and good luck with your job!!!






His help is a blessing!

First of all, I want to congrulate Dorian for being listed in "The Incredible Agents.'' I'm in the process in selling one of my properties through Short Sale, and I had a lot of questions and concerns. Dorian's help is a blessing because I feel less worried now and he answered all of my questions. I now have a clear and better understanding on this process. He works very profesional and honest. I hope we soon have a closing on this property, but most of all, I want to THANK YOU for all your help and honesty. We don't meet good people like you everyday and I thank God for meeting you! God bless you and keep up the good work!!






First time home buyer

Having Mr. Johnson as my Realtor was truly a blessing. He was very knowledgable about what he does. He was supportive throughout the whole process. He was patient and took me through the process step by step explaining everything as we went along. He was prompt in returning phone calls. If there was something he wasn't sure about, he found out the answer for me or the proper source. He took the fear out of that first time homebuying experience. He made me feel comfortable in asking questions and being a first time buyer I had plenty. He would tell me to never hesitate to ask questions. He was very professional and a great negotiator. I look forward to doing more deals with Mr. Johnson. Thank You!






Great Work Performed!

I needed a great agent who would listen to what i want and who could be on top of their game , i found it here with Jelani realty. Great response and assistance no complaints from me!!!






He Saved Me!!

I am writing to thank Dorian A. Johnson for the outstanding job he did regarding Short Selling my home. When I thought that everything was lost, he came to my house and ever since he came, I had hope and we had a happy closing. It was not easy but he made it possible, he even went out of his way to make it happen. I'm so glad I met him. He is AWESOME! He is very helpful with people he deals with.






A very astute Agent

Being a first time home buyer I was overwhelmed by the responsibilities in just finding the perfect home for me. Dorian was EXCEPTIONAL in helping me find the right home for me at the right price. He listened to my needs and wants and found the home I was looking for. He made the experience very pleasurable and exciting.






1st Purchase..

"Thank You Brother Dorian for assisting me on this long winding road. As you know, I've been knowing you ever since 2004 and for whatever reason, never got serious until that one day you asked all of the Members, "What's Stopping you?" That's when the light went on inside of me. From that point on I got serious about wanting to change my overall living situation and start attaining wealth by making my 1st Investment property my primary residence. Thank you for staying on me about the Village of Dolton and being there at the property when I couldn't make it to meet the Appraiser, Contractors, etc. It's a great deal for me all around starting w/the Seller paying 3% towards my Closing costs. Your team that you referred me to helped me w/my financing and smooth closing. Because of the equity in the home, I was able to use a portion of it to start my rehab before I take "full ownership" of the house and still have over $40,000 in the property. It's nice to have options. Can't thank you enough Brother and if anything I can do for you, please let me know."






Thank You!!!

"My wife and I participated in other Investing Programs but the support that's given by Jelani Realty Advisors has been priceless. Dorian mentored us from start to finish. Our challenge was doing this the "right way" and not "our way." From the Wealth Building Club to the purchasing of this property, Dorian stayed on us and with us. Dorian's favorite line is Numbers don't lie, People do and he was right because the numbers on this property did not lie and it was too good to pass up. The equity in this Building is unreal!! This property's rehab was started by another Investor and apparently lost it from lack of funds. I financed this using Other People's Money and stand to net over well over $100,000. Dorian, give us a month and a half, and we'll be well in position to attain another deal. Thank You!!"






Fourth Investment Property!!

"Well, here we are 4 for 4, Dorian you've done it again!!! Thanks for locating this DEAL Dorian, negotiating it and helping to close it quickly! You see the Infomercials about Bottom low properties and question if it's TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. This is TRUE and as you stated to us, "We've made money on this even if we placed a new door on the front. "We'll secure a tenant, generate Positive Cash Flow and have you list it for SALE when the market rebounds"

Dorian was able to draft a memo explaining what an Investor do and how we complement the community with quality homes.
