Jake Heller is a third-generation homebuilder and real estate developer who grew up around the family business. Public profiles describe his work across development, operations, land use consulting, permit expediting, and AI implementation.

On LinkedIn, Jake describes himself as a CRE developer and consultant, founder of AI for CRE Collective and JDJ Consulting, and a person helping CRE professionals implement AI. His experience includes co-founding MIDOS Development Group and JDJ Consulting Group.

The thread that makes the profile compelling is translation. Jake is not presenting AI as abstract software enthusiasm. He tests tools in the shape of CRE work: underwriting models, investor decks, market reports, permitting workflows, deal sourcing, and analyst output.
