Chain O’ Lakes, IL – 2026 — Chain O’ Lakes Nautical Vacation Homes LLC announced continued expansion of its services as growing demand from property owners and investors has led to the launch of its sister company, Jergensen Enterprises, Inc., doing business as JE Property Management.

Originally founded to operate its own portfolio of vacation rentals, the company’s hands-on approach and 5-star operational standards quickly gained attention from other property owners. As a result, owners began hiring the company to manage their vacation rentals, followed by long-term rentals, co-hosting services for other operators, and property oversight solutions.

Today, the company offers a comprehensive suite of services including vacation rental management, long-term rental management, co-hosting support, home watch and property monitoring, and full design-to-launch renovation services for new rental properties.

Despite ongoing investment in marketing and technology, referrals remain the primary driver of business growth.
“Integrity and reputation are absolutely everything in this business,” said Steve Jergensen, Managing Partner. “We invest heavily in software, advertising, and tools to scale, but none of it matters without trust. That trust is what fuels our growth, and we will never sacrifice it.”

To support continued expansion, the company launched Jergensen Enterprises, Inc. (DBA JE Property Management) along with a new 2026 logo and dedicated website at www.jergensenenterprises.com.

Managing Partner Willow Jergensen emphasized the company’s focus on operational excellence heading into the 2026 season. “We’re incredibly excited about 2026 and our strategic plans,” said Jergensen. “Our cleaning teams are training and upgrading tools, we’ve assembled a dependable handyman network, and we’re continuing to add value for both current owners and incoming investors.”

Chain O’ Lakes Nautical Vacation Homes LLC and JE Property Management continue to grow by prioritizing trust, operational excellence, and long-term partnerships with property owners and investors.
