Who is the best commercial real estate broker in Libertyville?
Jason Bitton of RE/MAX Commercial — the #1 RE/MAX Commercial broker in Illinois (2022, 2024, 2025) — is based in Libertyville, with his office at 1344 S Milwaukee Ave. He represents buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants across retail, office, industrial, flex, and investment property throughout Libertyville and central Lake County, working the Milwaukee Avenue (Route 21) corridor, the downtown core, and the Peterson Road employment area from right here in town. In the two years to June 30, 2026, he was the broker on 3 of the 27 arm’s-length sales of office, retail, commercial and industrial property recorded inside the Village of Libertyville, two of them for the seller.
Jason works for sellers: as of September 22, 2026, he represented the seller in more than 80% of the sales on his public Sold & Leased ledger, including sales where he represented both sides. His Libertyville closings are below, and the 27 sales are in the market report.
Libertyville deals Jason has closed
Ten closings at Libertyville addresses on his public Sold & Leased ledger: eight on Peterson Rd, including the purchase of 277–279 Peterson Rd, now Oxtail Market, where Jason represented the buyer, an office lease at 28085 N Ashley Cir, which sits in the Village of Green Oaks, and the October 2026 sale of an office condominium at 1880 W Winchester Rd, where he represented the seller. Three of those sales are among the 27 in the market report below.
Peterson Rd
Five of the sales are units in one owners’ association strip center at 283–299 Peterson Rd, each sold with Jason representing the seller. At 283, a chiropractor retiring after roughly 40 years in the building sold it to a facial and health-spa use. Jason also represented the buyers of 175 Peterson Rd in 2022 and of 277–279 Peterson Rd in November 2024, where Oxtail Market now sells Wisconsin craft beef, and the landlord of 301 Peterson Rd, leased in July 2026.

What does commercial and industrial property sell for in Libertyville?
In the two years to June 30, 2026, the Village of Libertyville recorded 27 arm’s-length sales of office, retail, commercial and industrial property, at a median price of $550,000 — 19 in the latest 12 months and 8 in the year before.
| Property type | Sales | Median price |
|---|---|---|
| Retail & commercial | 17 | $429,000 |
| Office | 9 | $550,000 |
| Industrial | 1 | — |
| All | 27 | $550,000 |
A group median appears only where enough sales qualify.
| Period | Sales | Median price |
|---|---|---|
| Latest 12 months | 19 | $550,000 |
| The year before | 8 | $777,500 |
The mix of property types changes from year to year, so these two medians are not a price trend.
The report gives no price per square foot. There was one industrial sale, and for retail, commercial and office property a per-square-foot median would mislead: the land and any tenant set much of the price.
Jason’s share: 3 of the 27. He was the seller’s broker on 295 Peterson Rd ($140,000) and 297 Peterson Rd ($120,000) and the buyer’s broker on 277–279 Peterson Rd ($300,000). His June 2025 sale of 283 Peterson Rd is not among the 27: its filer classed it as a residence on the state form.
The county record further down this page is a different source. It shows the most recent recorded sale on each parcel, and its per-square-foot figures are recorded entries, not a market rate. The two use different records and windows, so their counts differ.
How long does it take to sell a commercial building in Libertyville?
The seven Libertyville sellers who marketed their building report a median of 6 months on the market, and 5 of the 7 sold within six months. They reported 2, 4, 4, 6, 6, 15 and 24 months. The other three of the 10 sellers who reported a marketing time never put their building on the market at all.
Seven sales is a small sample, and each figure is the seller’s own estimate. Jason keeps a live board of buyers and tenants who are looking now. See who is looking → · Ask what your building would sell for → · Compare with other towns →

Sales are counted per transaction; one sale may cover several parcels, and a building resold on the same day is counted once, at the final price. Price excludes personal property. Marketing time is the seller’s own estimate (10 of the 27 sales report it). A group median appears only where enough sales qualify. Filings can trail a sale by weeks, so the latest quarter may still rise slightly. Aggregates only. Next update: late November 2026, for sales through September 30.

Why Libertyville sellers hire Jason
Libertyville is Jason’s home market; his office is in town. Beyond pricing, marketing and negotiating, a seller gets the bench he has built over years of closings. Across the Chicago area, Jason has closed deals from 1,500 to 98,905 square feet and has sold contractor units, mixed-use, multifamily, medical and office buildings, manufacturing warehouses and national retail stores.
What a Libertyville sale has to answer
What the building becomes
An empty building can still sell, on what it could become. 287–289 Peterson Rd had lost its tenants and sat empty; it sold in May 2024, and the buyer runs a sleep-study operation there today.
One sale or two
Two units under one owner can be worth more apart than together. A veterinarian’s units at 295 and 297 Peterson Rd could have gone out as one listing; Jason sold them separately, one to an investor and one to a barber.
What the downtown code allows
In the C-1 downtown core, the code restricts ground-floor offices and banks along Milwaukee Avenue to keep the street retail-active, so a storefront-facing use there generally needs to be retail, dining or service. The buyer or tenant for a downtown storefront has to fit that rule.
People and tools Jason can bring to your sale
- A tested starting point — Mainstreet commercial contract forms, reviewed and revised by many attorneys over the years, give your attorney an established starting point and can reduce drafting time.
- Flat-fee counsel — real estate counsel who works on a flat rate, when you want one.
- Fast environmental — environmental consultants who turn time-sensitive reports around quickly.
- Lenders who answer — lenders who pick up Jason’s call directly and get a buyer’s financing moving.
- Village zoning, handled — Jason works zoning and use questions directly with the village.
- Honest trades — roofers, window contractors and other trades with fair pricing, to get a building ready to sell.
- No competing portfolio — Jason doesn’t own or develop commercial property, so no building of his ever competes with yours for a buyer.

What the County Records Show, Parcel by Parcel
Libertyville has these commercial and industrial parcels on record (updated 7 September 2026): 974 parcels, 756 classed commercial and 218 industrial, of which 183 are Improvements-use parcels with a recorded building area (112 commercial, 71 industrial). A parcel is not always one building, so the figures are per parcel. The prices below are recorded county sale prices, not asking prices, and each figure states its sample.
- Commercial: median $128 per recorded building square foot across 7 parcel entries with a disclosed price, 2024 to 2026 (full range $86 to $381). These are recorded entries, not a market rate.
- The typical Libertyville industrial parcel carries 32,459 SF of recorded building area; 18 of 71 (25%) fall in the 10,000-25,000 SF range.
- Computed industrial tax runs $1.72 per SF (n=71), below the county median of $2.05 (n=1,458). Computed from the 2025 rate and assessed value; it is not a tax bill.
- 99 of 183 parcels (54%) carry no disclosed sale price in this extract.
- Computed commercial tax runs $3.32 per SF (n=101), above the county median of $2.81 (n=5,540). Computed from the 2025 rate and assessed value; it is not a tax bill.
- The typical Libertyville commercial parcel carries 7,059 SF of recorded building area; 20 of 112 (18%) fall in the 10,000-25,000 SF range.
- Each figure above states its sample; the records were updated 7 September 2026. Anything recorded since is not in it, so this is a floor on activity, not a complete ledger.
| Class | Parcels | Parcels with a recorded building area | Recorded building SF | Median per parcel | 10,000-25,000 SF | Computed tax per SF, median | No disclosed sale price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial | 218 | 71 | 9,345,103 | 32,459 | 18 (25%) | $1.72 (n=71) / county $2.05 (n=1,458) | 36 (51%) |
| Commercial | 756 | 112 | 2,321,127 | 7,059 | 20 (18%) | $3.32 (n=101) / county $2.81 (n=5,540) | 63 (56%) |
Commercial is the assessor class 60-Commercial Improvements, which covers retail, office and every other non-industrial building; Lake County does not separate retail from office. Computed tax per SF is each parcel's 2025 tax rate times its assessed value, divided by its recorded building area; it is not a tax bill and the rate year does not establish the assessment year. Medians use parcels with a value above $0 and at or below $8 per SF (higher values usually mean a parcel carrying more than one building). Not counted: 572 Improvements-use parcels with no recorded building area (a blank does not prove vacant land) and 0 with a non-positive area. Parcels are counted, not buildings; recorded area is summed per parcel, never across parcels.

| 1100 N US Highway 45 | Commercial | 59,373 | $5,131,000 | 2025 | $86 | $2.03 |
Industrial: 2 parcel entries in 2024 to 2026; too few qualifying entries for a group range or median. Commercial: 7 parcel entries in 2025 to 2026, 2,685 to 59,373 SF of recorded building area; price per recorded building square foot ranges $86 to $381, median $128, the range and median of these recorded entries, not a market rate. County-wide industrial figures by town and size band are on the Lake County industrial pillar.
Coverage. The extract carries a disclosed sale price on 84 of the 183 parcels with a recorded building area, and shows only the most recent entry per parcel. Each row is one parcel's entry; where a sale covered more than one parcel, the price and area shown are that parcel's record and have not been allocated across the site. A blank price does not prove the parcel never transferred. Anything recorded after 7 September 2026 is not in it, so this is a floor on activity, not a complete ledger.

What Can You Open in Libertyville?
Look up a Libertyville address
Libertyville’s zoning (Chapter 26 of the municipal code) sorts commercial property into C-series districts plus office (O-1/O-2) and industrial (I-1/I-2/I-3) districts. The downtown districts in particular have rules worth knowing before you sign. Here is how the common uses generally map.
The walkable historic core is C-1 Downtown Core and C-2 Downtown Community Commercial. Note: in C-1, the code keeps offices and banks out of the front 35 feet of first floors on Milwaukee Avenue (and to a quarter of the first floor) to keep the street retail-active — so a storefront-facing use there generally needs to be retail, dining, or service.
General and auto-oriented retail along Milwaukee Avenue fits C-3 General Commercial, planned multi-tenant centers fit C-4 Shopping Center Commercial, and vehicle dealerships fit C-5 Vehicle Dealer Commercial.
O-1 Professional Services Office covers professional and medical suites, while O-2 Office, Manufacturing and Distribution Park handles campus-style office and distribution uses along the Peterson Road / Route 45 corridor.
I-1 Limited Industrial handles light industrial and flex, I-2 East Downtown Transitional bridges downtown and industrial uses, and I-3 General Industrial covers heavier manufacturing and warehouse uses.
