A Local Family Business That Solves Real Problems

At Modern Times Homes, we are ordinary people like you, who help homeowners solve their real estate problems. We are a local company who specializes in buying properties for cash in the Rockford and surrounding areas, and our main focus is helping families that struggle with real estate problems.

At Modern Times Homes, we’re not some out-of-state investor group or high-pressure sales team. We’re a local, family-owned business based right here in the Rockford area — and we’ve been helping homeowners solve their real estate problems since 2016.

We specialize in buying houses for cash in Rockford, Loves Park, Machesney Park, Belvidere, and surrounding communities. Our focus is simple: help homeowners who need to sell fast, without agents, repairs, fees, or months of waiting.

Our Story

We’re Adam and Barbara (“Basia”) Zajkowski — husband and wife, business partners, and proud parents of three boys.

We were both born and raised in Poland and came to the U.S. as teenagers when our families moved here to build a better life. Starting over wasn’t easy. We didn’t speak English, had to learn everything from scratch, and faced a lot of challenges. But one thing we both had from day one: the mindset that giving up was never an option.

That same mindset is now at the core of how we run Modern Times Homes.

Adam has a background in construction and handles all property visits and evaluations personally. He’s passionate about real estate — and if you woke him up in the middle of the night with a question about it, he’d probably answer 9 out of 10 without hesitation.

Barbara is a licensed real estate broker and keeps everything running behind the scenes. She’s highly organized, detail-focused, and handles everything from lead intake to making sure Adam shows up on time! She also loves interior design and jumps in during renovation projects.

When we’re not working, we’re spending time with our kids — biking, playing hockey, or just hanging out as a family. That’s what matters most to us.

Why Sellers Choose Us

We’ve helped homeowners in all kinds of situations — foreclosure, probate, bad tenants, divorce, inherited properties, or just homes that need more work than they want to take on.

Here’s what you can expect when you work with us:

• A fair, all-cash offer based on real condition — not lowball numbers
