Julie and her team are true professionals in the Chicago real estate market. I’m a Realtor in another state, and I’m grateful to have a trusted partner in Chicago who is hands-on, highly knowledgeable, and offers true concierge-level service in both the city and the suburbs. I also appreciate that they genuinely give back to the community by doing multiple service projects throughout the year . I wouldn’t refer my clients to any other team!

Julie, Pamela, and their team were incredible in working with us to sell our Lakeshore luxury penthouse at 1100 Lakeshore Drive. Great team to work with - strategy, attention to detail, and execution - she got the job done at near asking price for our 9500 sq foot penthouse. A great realty team.

We used the Busby group to assist with the sale of our condo and purchase of our home in 2025 and we would highly recommend them! They were so patient, responsive, and helpful throughout the whole process. Maggie and Julie (and the whole crew) definitely went above and beyond! We definitely plan to use them in the future if we would buy or sell a home.

Julie and her team at the Busby group are, hands down, the best realtors in the business. I honestly didn't even know that realtors could BE that good! From my first email to them, they were professional, warm, responsive, and so knowledgeable about the market, timing, pricing, etc. From their photographer to their scheduling team to their concierge service (which helped me find a fantastic painter and cleaners), I felt supported every step of the way. They told me at the outset that they treated every client with the highest level of service regardless of the sale price of their home, and this was 100% my experience--even though my condo wasn't a particularly high price point, they put in the work and treated me like my sale was their highest priority. I was SO nervous going into this sale, and worried my condo wouldn't sell--but thanks to their hard work and incredible marketing, I got multiple offers and sold above list. It was a spectacular experience end to end, and I'm so grateful I got to work with the Busby Group--the best realtors in the business!

Julie Busby has taken the lead on multiple real estate transactions for our family, and we would never use anyone else. She is always in the know on current market analysis and trends for buyers and sellers. She also has great connections for once you move in or need remodeling. She's our number 1 business real estate business partner in all respects.

We have used Busby group for 2 new home purchases and 1 sale, and everyone we have worked with has been so wonderful- from being able to navigate delicate negotiations to introducing us to options we didn‘t know existed, they have all been professional, responsive, and really took away most of my headaches about buying/selling so I could focus on the fun stuff about moving to a new place. Julie has always treated us like old friends and is super easy to talk to.

So grateful for the Busby group who helped us settle into our first home. They are truly incredible and offer a comprehensive suite of solutions for buying and selling your house. Susan has also helped several of our friends and family members

So grateful to have worked with Julie and the Busby Group. We live in San Diego and worked with the Busby Group to sell our condo in Chicago. They managed coordinating my tenant move out, repairs, renovations, showings, and the entire legal process without us ever having to make a trip back to Chicago - this gave us so much peace of mind through the selling process. They were extremely professional, kind, receptive, prompt, and communicative throughout the entire process. I couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you Julie and team for such a positive experience!

My wife and I bought two single family homes through Busby Group -- a four bedroom in Lincoln Park and a six bedroom in Winnetka. In each experience, we were impressed by the professionalism and responsiveness of the Busby team. Mara was our realtor, and we can't sing her praises high enough. She cares deeply about her clients and is one of the hardest working people we know. Barb, Michaela, Jane, Celeste and Julie were excellent as well. They know the market and always have their ears to ground. We were so pleased with Busby Group that I recommended them to my mother. Busby Group sold her condo in the Gold Coast in a matter of weeks. I recommend Busby Group highly.

I honestly could not recommend Julie enough! Not only was she on site with us while we were making condo upgrades to get ready to sell, she provided incredible feedback on colors, fixtures, staging, and everything in between. She was always available for questions and her team was equally as helpful. She knew all the right people to help us upgrade the condo and even put us in touch with a great mortgage professional who helped us with our new home mortgage. We had the pleasure of working with Maggie from the Busby team on the sale of our condo and the purchase of our new home. I work in customer service, and Maggie's customer service was top notch! Both Julie and Maggie provided great negotiations, invaluable advice, and are an incredible team. Do yourself the favor and higher Julie. You will not regret it!

Mara Walsh helped us buy a condo as first time buyers, and we can't recommend her highly enough. She was endlessly patient, kind and responsive while shepherding us through the process and putting in an offer. She also was willing to provide some very cogent advice on pricing, renovations, and how to avoid a bidding war. Everyone with the Busby Group helped make our closing almost effortless. We hope we not to buy or sell property again for many years, but if circumstances change we would definitely want to work with Mara and the Busby Group.

We had the pleasure of working with the team to sell our home 100% remotely. The Busby group exceeded our expectations with Julie and Susan showing a level of knowledge and professionalism that helped drive a strong outcome for our sale. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a full service broker that will work on your behalf and go above and beyond to make sure that you have a successful outcome. They really took the stress out of selling while maximizing our potential sale price. Their focus on processes and strong teams in every aspect of the transaction made everything happen like a well oiled machine. At the same time, the advice they provided was spot on and reflect their experience in the market.

Julie and Susan are awesome! I worked with Julie and her team to sell our 2-bed 1 bath condominium in South Loop. They market it so well that we received an offer within the first week of listing! The negotiation process and inspection with the buyer were very smooth as well. They are also very attentive to ensure smooth transactions, answering any questions you have, and willing to work with you to ensure that you receive the best price and are market competitive. If I was looking for a new home to purchase/sell would use their service again!

Julie and her team is nothing short of amazing. I wish she did more than real estate, because working with her is a dream. From meeting us, getting to know our needs, to finding our new home and selling our old home, she and Susan, and everyone on her team was fantastic. She is super responsive to emails and text at all times, patient, understanding, so supportive, incredibly knowledgeable of all things related to real estate, the market, contract negotiation, etc. She helped us navigate some unexpected hurdles with our lender, with our contract and with my husband's citizenship status. And even post sale, she's been so amazingly helpful. The recommendations she's given me for work we're doing on the home is so valuable - we've found an amazing design, a contractor, etc etc all through Julie and her network of professionals that are skilled and dedicated. I can't imagine having gone through moving and buying with anyone other than Julie and if I ever have to do it again, there's no question, Julie and team are the only way to go. Thanks so much Julie, as I've said before, your level of attention to detail, personal and individual care and attention, knowledge and sheer expertise is unmatched. You are the leader in your field hands down and we love you!

My husband and I just purchased our first home which we anticipated to be an immensely nerve-wracking experience. I'm more than happy to say that the process was effortless with Ali Rozina and the Busby Group by our side! The team provides a concierge-style service by ensuring timely communication and walking first-time buyers through the often overwhelming steps of buying a home. Not only was this process easy, but it's clear that Ali has an in-depth knowledge of real estate which ensures a sense of trust and confidence throughout the process. She truly cares and will gladly discuss any questions or concerns as many times as needed. We have referred many friends and family members to Ali and the Busby group who have had just as fantastic of an experience as my husband and I. I can genuinely say anyone who is lucky enough to work with Ali as their real estate agent is in dedicated and experienced hands!

From beginning to end, every step of the way, Julie, Maggie and the entire Busby Group team supported, guided and advised me. I never imagined that selling a house could be a good experience, but with Busby Group it was. I had the task of selling a home that had been in the family for over 70 years. Julie patiently reassured me, explained and managed each step and was always available to answer my questions and doubts. Julie and Maggie were unbelievably prompt in their communication, no detail overlooked, no question too remedial. If you want a top level negotiator, Julie is your person, hands down. She showed me how a super-pro works. We had a contract within a week of listing. Busby Group exceeded my expectations by a long shot. It was a pleasure and a privilege to work with Julie and her team.

Julie and her team, including Michelle, did an excellent job walking me through all of the necessary steps to purchasing my first home. Whether it was me asking what they would do in my shoes, or simple open-ended questions, I always felt that they had my best interest in mind. I was able to find, make an offer, and close on a home in less than 2 months, and it was WELL within the price range I set out from the start. If I need to buy/sell again in the Chicago area, I will be going with Julie and the Busby Group.

Julie Busby and her entire team were amazing and so wonderful to work with. Being from out of state, they helped us through the entire process, answered all the questions we had, and were always always responsive to our calls - even the ones that were late and on the weekend! Our agent, Maggie was very professional and helped educate us on what we should and shouldn't be looking for in a property since we were unfamiliar with what to watch out for in an older home that experiences extreme weather conditions. She went above and beyond our expectations and we would highly recommend the Busby Group to anyone with real estate needs.

This was my second time working with Julie, she is phenomenal! She got us the condo of our dreams in Bucktown, we absolutely love it. We were trying to buy early Spring 2021, it was super competitive, and Julie was able to creatively negotiate with the selling agent to ensure we got our place (it had 7 bids after a single open house). Closing was super smooth, she helped us get the place painted before we moved in, and helped us with a contractor to investigate a window issue found during inspection. Julie is extremely responsive, knows this area and this market better than anyone, and goes out of her way to make sure you're set up for success. During our hunt for a new place we had to walk away from another listing due to special assessment and water disclosure issues and I think it speaks volumes of Julie's character that she is the first one to say "guys, this doesn't feel right". She is a true professional, I'm a customer for life.

My husband and I recently moved to the Chicago area to be closer to family. We needed the expertise of a realtor who could understand our needs, help us consider neighborhoods that would suit our lifestyle while understanding the challenges of relocating to a new state. Julie Busby and her group did that exactly. We had the impression that this team really cared about our relocation, the importance of living closer to our son and daughter in law and supported our vision of how we wanted our lives to look with extended family in the future. Having bought and sold several houses in the past, this has by far been the best experience we have ever had. If needed, I would use Julie and her team in the future!
- Lisa

Susan and the Busby team were amazing during our home buying process. Susan was extremely responsive throughout our very picky home search, and ultimately helped us win the bid on our dream home in Highland Park in a very competitive market. From the moment we went under contract, her team took care of every detail. Afterward, Susan’s network of contractors, from inspectors to painters and electricians, made our experience so much smoother and ultimately saved us a ton of money for very high quality work. Highly recommend without question!
- Katie

Working with Julie and the Busby Group was an absolute delight! Their team was able to handle all of my asks and prospective buyers asks in a timely and professional fashion to help the sale of my home happen quickly! There were no details left out from help in home prep and staging to the close of the sale. I would 100% trust their team with a purchase or sale of a home in the future!

Julie is fantastic. She made selling our condo (and finding our new home) feel almost too easy. From advice on upgrades to walking through our offer to make sure we got the best deal, everything was seamless. Her entire team is incredible and were there every step of the way. If you're looking to buy or sell in Chicago, definitely call Julie!

My husband and I had the absolute joy of working with Ali on the purchase of our first home. Prior to our home, Ali helped both of us individually find our city apartments years ago, and then we turned back to her when we were looking for an apartment together. So when we were ready to make the move to the suburbs to become homeowners, we had no doubt Ali was the girl for the job. She made every step as easy and fun as possible. She was honest, positive, smart, proactive, patient, and selfless at every turn. She has a strong network of experts at her disposal and she had a precise understanding for what we were looking for in a home. So when she saw the right house hit the market, she was quick to act and our offer was accepted, thanks to her keen negotiation and communication skills. We feel so lucky to have her as a friend and would highly recommend her to all homebuyers!

Working with the Busby Group was fantastic! Liza and Adriana were very communicative, friendly, and knowledgeable about the home buying process. They provided the perfect amount of guidance during our search and worked quickly and efficiently to help us close in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend their services!
- Haley

We got to know Busby group from a neighbor who sold their condo before us. Since they highly recommended them, it was a no brainer for us to go with Busby group. And we are so glad we made the right choice. Julie, Maggie and the entire team is just so great to work with. The entire selling process was very smooth and they provided detailed instructions for every stage. Also because of the COVID situation, we did not want to do open house. Maggie accommodated our request and sometimes had to do 3~4 separate showings a day! The selling price was also above asking and better than what we expected. Very smooth and pleasant experience!
- Yi

We are so happy that we decided to use the Busby group for our buying, selling & rental needs - cannot recommended them enough!! Everyone on the Busby team is extremely professional, responsive & detail oriented. We really felt they had our best interest in mind at all times and could fully trust they knew exactly what we were looking for. Buying and selling during the pandemic was very stressful for our family and the Busby group really set our minds at ease during every step of the process. Their knowledge, experience and expertise is very evident from start to finish. They really treated us like family and went above and beyond for all of our needs. We could not be more impressed and will be using Busby Group for all future real estate needs!

We have used Julie and her team at The Busby Group for both a sale and a purchase. Undeniably the best agents we have worked with. They know the market and will go the extra mile to get the job done without question. They are available when needed and are true professionals. If you are looking to buy or sell, look no further!
- Andy

Overall, we would highly recommend Julie and her team. She was able to provide insightful recommendations to get our house ready for sale as well as provided some staging items when needed. She and her team helped us sell our property within 30 days and made the entire process very easy and seamless for us.

Julie and Maggie were absolutely wonderful to work with! They were incredibly well-versed in not just the area but the building specifically. A full-service shop, they coordinated everything required to list and sell our condo, including any repairs required by contractors. We are so grateful to them for helping us get our place sold for the right price!

I have nothing but rave reviews for Ali and the Busby team! They were so incredibly helpful during our first home buying process in Chicago and truly went above and beyond. Ali was very knowledgeable and responsive to all my questions (even with a newborn at home and a million things on her plate). I cannot recommend them highly enough!
- Stacy

The Busby Group is number one for a reason. They are thoughtful, professional, and get the job done. I will happily use them again for all my real estate needs and will highly recommend them to friends and family.

We had such a wonderful experience working with Ali Rozina-Green and the Busby Group. As first time buyers, we wanted to make sure we knew what to look for and what questions to ask. Ali had all that covered! She made us feel so at ease and confident at every showing, and ultimately found us our dream home. Could not have asked for a better experience! Ali is our go to recommendation for anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

The Busby Group did a great job as they worked with us to sell our condo in Chicago. Their communication, quick response time and follow-up resulted in a quick sale. I would highly recommend them.

Would Recommend Ali Rozina over and over and over again. Ali helped me find my first condo and I could not be more thrilled. She goes above and beyond for her clients and will make sure that you find the perfect home. Given it was my first condo search, Ali went above and beyond to sit down with me and explain the whole home buying process, making it so seamless. She was an excellent communicator and will stop at nothing to make sure you are 100% satisfied. Plus, she is so easy going, down to earth and a joy to be around - making long tour days feel easy. Look no further than Ali to find your perfect real estate broker!

Busby Group was everything we could have asked for in a realtor: attentive, enthusiastic, professional, constant. Our experience with them was so incredible when we bought a house that we listed our condo to sell with them, too. They treated us like family, and we will be clients for life.

Julie and her team are pros! They are knowledgeable, responsible and responsive. Which is very important in a market like we were dealing with in which houses don’t stay on the market for long.

The Busby Group at Compass was a great team to work with when selling my investment property. They did an excellent job guiding me through the preparation process, from recommending repairs to getting the property ready for photos, showings, and open houses. They also provided a strong pricing strategy and walked me through their valuation, which gave me confidence in how we positioned the home in this current real estate market. I worked closely with Adriana Bahena, who explained each step clearly and made the entire selling process feel organized and manageable. I would work with Julie, Adriana and the Busby Group again. I would strongly recommend them to anyone thinking about selling in Pilsen or the surrounding neighborhoods.
- Ivan

Would HIGHLY recommend the Busby group to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home. We primarily worked with Maggie and Julie who were incredible to work with, however, all of the Busby Group staff we encountered throughout the process were very responsive and professional. They were so patient with us as we took our time throughout this process and are extremely knowledgeable about so many things related to location and the home buying/selling process. They truly went above and beyond and we would use them again in a second if we ever decided to purchase or sell a home.

The service level they provided was flawless in terms of communication, advice and execution. Her knowledge of the market and strategy for selling our home really set her apart from other brokers and ultimately we were rewarded with several strong offers in a challenging market. We appreciate the candor, reliability, professionalism and honesty of the team as well as their willingness to go the extra mile.

Julie and her team are amazing. Julie was referred to me by a friend of mine and I was so happy that I met Julie. All of my experiences exceeded my expectation because the team went above and beyond. It has been a year since the purchase of my primary residence and I am still satisfied with my purchase. I was a new buyer around the Chicago area or Illinois. I had only been familiar with real estate around Southern California. Not to mention the building structure and design concepts in Chicago are totally different than the ones in California or typical suburbs. Julie and her team managed to educate and navigate me throughout my journey as an amateur buyer around Chicago. When I was exploring a few options that I was interested in, Julie and her team pointed out the critical details to be observed on each property (such as the exterior material of the building, location, etc). I also learned the design concepts and regulations unique to Chicago. Julie's team also have information around Chicago's city planning and managed to give me some idea about which area will be undergoing a large commercial development (which was essential to the potential appreciation value that was one of my main decision-makers). Julie and her team definitely deserve three thumbs up for the services they provided. I wished they are available in every state in the US for my future purchases because I look to expand beyond Illinois. I definitely recommend Busby Group to everyone I know and I will be working with the Busby group for my future real estate purchases in Illinois (and hopefully other states as well).

Maggie assisted us in finding our dream apartment at a price within our budget back in July. She made it a seamless process and showed us many apartments that met our search criteria before we decided. They keep in touch with sweet newsletters and sent us a thoughtful fall candle in the mail, several months after we had signed on our rental. This company is one for the books.

We've used them for both sides of our last two condo sales/purchases and have been very happy all around. They're knowledgeable, friendly, and very communicative. Considering how overwhelming a sale and/or purchase can be, it's comforting to know that a competent team is on your side. It really is a pleasure to work with them and I look forward to doing it again!

Ali Rozina was a dream to work with in our apartment search! We originally started working with Ali before her move to Julie's team, when she helped my fiance and I when we relocated to Chicago. We were quite nervous looking for an apartment in a new city, but Ali made the process as simple as could possibly be by doing all the research, planning and even driving us from apartment to apartment until we found the perfect one. We did not make it easy on Ali with our requests and desires for an apartment. Not only was she able to find us our first apartment with ALL our desired amenities at a FANTASTIC price point, she was able to do it again for our second apartment a year later at an EVEN BETTER location and price point. Although we are over a year out from buying a place, Ali has already chatted to us about being first time home-buyer's in Chicago. We trust through each interaction that Ali has our best interests at heart and she brings energy, professionalism and market expertise that has made the search process seem like a walk in the park! We highly recommend Ali and we are excited to have her help us as we look for first home in the upcoming months!

It was a pleasure to work with Julie -- she is a true expert, easy to get along with, and always putting her clients first. Most of all, she has an AMAZING team. Everyone who I worked with at the Busby Group shared Julie's high expectations and helped make it a great experience. I had a tricky sale, and I was under contract for a purchase at the same time. Julie was right alongside me the whole way and supported me in the tough moments. Ultimately, I'm convinced the transactions would not have been successful if I had not worked with someone as talented as Julie. I am very happy in my new home, and that is thanks to the Busby Group. Would highly recommend!

The 2021 market has been crazy for first-time homebuyers. But, thankfully, Julie and Pamela were incredible and helped us get into the condo of our dreams. They were with us every step of the way, had great communication, and somehow got us into every showing we asked for--most the day of listing--despite steep competition. We will be forever grateful for their efforts and will be recommending them to everyone!

Working with Ali Rozina to find a new apartment was seamless. I never got to meet her in person due to COVID, however she kept me in the loop throughout the whole process. We started with a chat on the phone regarding my budget, location, amenities. She was constantly sending me properties and eventually found my dream apartment at a great price. I was very anxious about moving during a pandemic, but Ali made it easy. Cannot recommend her enough!

We recently outgrew our condo and were looking for a realtor to help us find a new place (in Chicago...not the 'burbs...nooo!) and potentially sell our current one. Julie and her team were absolutely phenomenal and helped us with both transactions. On the new property: We went into the search with a fairly good idea of the size/characteristics of residence we wanted, but unsure of neighborhoods. Julie was not just extremely knowledgeable and helped us narrow our search, but she had a good instinct on what properties we would like. We ended up finding exactly what we wanted in our very first tour with her - saving us a ton of time. With her help, we were able to move quickly to put in a competitive offer. On our current property: Julie also helped us sell our current condo. I, of course, think who wouldn't want to buy our home!...but will let the facts speak for themselves: + Helped us get the property ready for showing, including fresh coat of paint, pictures, brochures...within 2 wks + Got a showing before even listing on MLS + Got multiple showings and offers 4 days after listing + Under contract within 12 days of listing Here, I think her extensive sales experience, marketing strategy and knowledge of the market helped us immensely. She also is very well net-worked (she seems to know EVERYONE in the business), which I'm sure helped as well. On top of it all, Julie and her team are highly professional, extremely quick to respond, very well-regarded...and most of all, fun to work with. We could not be happier with our new home and the sale of our old one!

Julie & her team are nothing short of amazing! They helped us buy the home of our dreams, and made the process as easy as it gets! I couldn't recommend enough.

Julie is fantastic. She made selling our condo (and finding our new home) feel almost too easy. From advice on upgrades to walking through our offer to make sure we got the best deal, everything was seamless. Her entire team is incredible and were there every step of the way. If you're looking to buy or sell in Chicago, definitely call Julie!

I honestly could not recommend Julie enough! Not only was she on site with us while we were making condo upgrades to get ready to sell, she provided incredible feedback on colors, fixtures, staging, and everything in between. She was always available for questions and her team was equally as helpful. She knew all the right people to help us upgrade the condo and even put us in touch with a great mortgage professional who helped us with our new home mortgage. We had the pleasure of working with Maggie from the Busby team on the sale of our condo and the purchase of our new home. I work in customer service, and Maggie's customer service was top notch! Both Julie and Maggie provided great negotiations, invaluable advice, and are an incredible team. Do yourself the favor and higher Julie. You will not regret it!

Julie and her group are the absolute best in the business. She was patient as we figured out what we wanted. She was understanding as our life took twists and turns and we changed our minds (multiple times). She was always on our team and thinking about what was best for us (not what was easiest for her). She and her group are more responsive than 99.5% of people I deal with on a daily basis (and I work in a fast paced professional services industry). She has a top notch understanding of what to look for in a house and can go toe to toe with developers. She's a pro at negotiations. And she made the process a dream for us first time buyers. I would recommend Julie to absolutely anyone and everyone (in fact I already have!)

My wife and I have now worked with Julie and her team twice, once as buyers and once as a sellers. We have recommended her widely to friends and family and are now pleased to offer this review. Julie and her team are truly top notch on a variety of fronts. First, they are super responsive, dedicated, and knowledgeable, walking us through each and every step of the process. Second, their expertise on how to prepare our house to go on the market (including things like photos, advertising strategies, etc.) resulted in a flood of interest to our home right away. Third, her ability to offer prudent advice through the negotiation process was invaluable in getting the best possible deal for our home. If you are looking for a realtor, we highly recommend Team Busby!

Julie Busby and her whole team made the whole experience of buying and selling our home a breeze. Julie is incredibly easy to talk to and just gets it. Once she knew what we were looking for, she went above and beyond to find us the home of our dreams. She and her team have an incredible eye for design and staging and made our home look incredible. I would work with Julie and her team in a heartbeat again! I highly recommend them.

Julie Busby and her entire team were amazing and so wonderful to work with. Being from out of state, they helped us through the entire process, answered all the questions we had, and were always always responsive to our calls - even the ones that were late and on the weekend! Our agent, Maggie was very professional and helped educate us on what we should and shouldn't be looking for in a property since we were unfamiliar with what to watch out for in an older home that experiences extreme weather conditions. She went above and beyond our expectations and we would highly recommend the Busby Group to anyone with real estate needs.

One word to describe Julie, AMAZING. Julie helped me purchase a one bed room condo, as well as finding a tenant within less than 2 weeks after close. She is extremely knowledgeable, very professional, and responsive. I really like the fact that Julie was able to give relevant things in her perspective about specific units within the neighborhood. She was also very quick in giving comparable analysis for similar units. My closing process was a little unique. Since the signing of the offer until close to the closing date, I was out of the country. Julie was able to plan ahead, facilitate all of the necessary communication upfront, and continuously check in with me during my travel to ensure we are on top of things. She and her team were also able to initiate and/or took over the communication with the Attorney, Mortgage Lender, Insurance Company, etc, during the closing process. I have worked with multiple real estate agent and Julie, by far, is the best. Totally will recommend her to all of my friends.

This was my second time working with Julie, she is phenomenal! She got us the condo of our dreams in Bucktown, we absolutely love it. We were trying to buy early Spring 2021, it was super competitive, and Julie was able to creatively negotiate with the selling agent to ensure we got our place (it had 7 bids after a single open house). Closing was super smooth, she helped us get the place painted before we moved in, and helped us with a contractor to investigate a window issue found during inspection. Julie is extremely responsive, knows this area and this market better than anyone, and goes out of her way to make sure you're set up for success. During our hunt for a new place we had to walk away from another listing due to special assessment and water disclosure issues and I think it speaks volumes of Julie's character that she is the first one to say "guys, this doesn't feel right". She is a true professional, I'm a customer for life.

We worked with Julie to sell our condo that we had lived in for almost nine years in the West Loop. This was an emotional decision as I was pregnant with our second child during the process and we were looking to move to the suburbs. We also had a unique situation in our condo building that was making the process even more difficult. Through it all, Julie was fabulous to work with. She was understanding, compassionate, and patient. She was extremely responsive, took constructive criticism, and didn't give up. She would always answer my call, hear out my concerns, work through certain situations, and provide advice as if she were selling her own place. After every showing, she provided prompt feedback to both my husband and I and was available if we had any questions. Since the sale went through, she has had excellent follow up and I would definitely recommend her!

After 25 years in Chicago, I decided to put my place on the market. I always felt my condo was a rare find and therefore, had a few ideas in mind for how best to sell - get the highest price in the shortest amount of time. And with the help of Julie, Pam and team, we did just that! In just 2 days of market time, we were able to get multiple offers above list. I knew Julie was the right person to get the job done. She made it a point to understand me and what I wanted to get out of my condo. From there, she laid out the plans on how we were going to get there. Professional, focused and committed from start to finish. I would 100% recommend her to anyone and will certainly use Julie should I need her services.

My wife and I recently purchased our first home and worked with Julie. From start to finish, Julie was extremely professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and most importantly, patient! My wife and I had pretty specific standards in what we wanted in our condo and the location, and Julie was great at filtering through to realistic opportunities so as not to waste everyone's time. We made multiple offers throughout the process, and Julie's experience helped us immensely when trying to decide how to approach the offer. I would, and have recommend(ed) Julie to anyone looking to purchase a home in Chicago. She's top 1% for a reason

Julie and her team were such a pleasure to work with! First and foremost they are tightly buttoned up on all things process related and kept everything on track so that we could close as planned, including following up with the buyer's team and other 3rd parties. Due to her local market knowledge, she was able to advise us and help navigate through a choppy start to year which proved out to be amazing timing once COVID lockdowns were in place. She was able to negotiate a wonderful outcome for us and kept the agreement in place even throughout a great deal of market uncertainty leading up to closing. Her whole team are friendly, knowledgeable and responsive and I can't recommend them highly enough!

I have worked with Liza Balistreri Cahill numerous times. Her work ethic, organization, passion to get things done correctly and client-centric methods are what set her apart.

Overall, we would highly recommend Julie and her team. She was able to provide insightful recommendations to get our house ready for sale as well as provided some staging items when needed. She and her team helped us sell our property within 30 days and made the entire process very easy and seamless for us.

Julie was referred to us by a close friend and she did not disappoint. We have not had great experiences with Chicago realtors but I'm happy to say that Julie changed this. She was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Julie was our realtor for selling our property and while she initially recommended a lower than expected list price, she was flexible enough to raise the price based on our suggestion, which paid off later. We will certainly be using Julie again for future real estate needs.

We just completed out third transaction with Julie (2 sales, 1 purchase) and have nothing but positive things to say. She is extremely knowledgeable about the market and processes, but doesn't let herself get lost in those details and forget that buying and selling a home is an extremely personal endeavor. She's honest and will tell you what you need to hear, but also tailors her approach and recommendations based on your unique situation. She's easy to reach and will always make time for her clients so you feel like the only one she's working with, even though it can't possibly be true given her great success! I can't recommend Julie highly enough!

Julie Busby and her team were amazing throughout our whole buying process. As first time buyers, we had A LOT of questions. Julie was very patience with us and she is extremely knowledgeable. Her sincere approach makes you feel like you are working with one of your best friends. She knows the market, the neighborhoods, the schools, and walks you through the process every step of the way. Buying or selling a home is stressful no matter who you work with, but Julie and her team relieve a lot of it. I would highly recommend working with them if you get the chance!

Busby Group helped us sell our condo during the pandemic and went above and beyond. We moved out of the area before we listed, and they coordinated everything, including painting, refinishing cabinets, and organizing our stuff to make our place show-ready. They were responsive, handled all the showings and provided prompt feedback, and even stopped by to check on our place for us after a major storm went through our neighborhood. Highly recommend!

Julie and her team were great to work with and worked very had to market and sell our two bedroom condo in Streeterville. From start to finish Julie was the ultimate professional and she and her team were in constant communication about marketing efforts and following up on showings. We were very happy with the services Julie and her team provided and recommend her highly.

Julie is the best! We were first time home buyers, and she found the perfect home for our family. She's an exceptional advocate for her buyers, and we felt like we were in great hands throughout the entire process. She helped us navigate what could have been a tricky transaction with the utmost professionalism, and we felt like she had nothing but our best interests in mind from the start. I would HIGHLY recommend Julie and her team and look forward to working with her in all our home buying pursuits.

Julie and her team recently helped us sell our condo in Lakeview. Prior to that, she worked with us for over a year as we looked for a new home in Chicago. While we ultimately moved out of state, Julie was extremely helpful in our search for a new home. She is reliable, provides honest feedback and was more than patient with us as we saw dozens and dozens of properties. Because of that, when we did decide to list our condo for sale, we knew we wanted to work with her. Even through tough market conditions, Julie was constantly able to generate interest in our home. She gave us regular updates on the market and the status of various interested parties in our home and was always working behind the scenes to make our home more marketable. I would very much recommend working with Julie to anyone interested in buying a new home or listing their existing property.

We were referred to Maggie through friends and she did not disappoint! Maggie found many homes for us to look at that fit tour criteria. She was patient and helped us ask the right questions. Maggie also put us in touch with a loan officer who gave us a great rate, an inspector who was very efficient and a great attorney! We really enjoyed working with Busby group because of this seamless experience. We will definitely be using Maggie again in the future.

Julie Busby is absolutely top-notch! She is a vibrant personality coupled with passion, enthusiasm and a wealth of knowledge for Chicago's ever-changing real estate market. I've had the privilege and pleasure of working with her on numerous real estate transactions throughout the last few years. She takes a uniquely honest approach with each of her clients and does not give up until expectations are exceeded. Whether it is selling a client's home in record time or finding them the perfect place to call home Julie works tirelessly to ensure their satisfaction. Julie's consistently positive outlook is contagious! The commitment to understand her client's needs and the ever-changing real estate market speak to her dedication and professionalism.

We worked with Julie and her team to buy a single family home in Bucktown and sell our West Loop condo this winter/early spring. The experience was very positive on both transactions with highlights of the partnership including: - Responsiveness: Julie and team are extremely quick to respond via all communication channels, which is vital in quick-moving markets. When you work with Julie you always feel like you're a top priority vs. one of many clients, which I'm sure she has at any given time. - Market Expertise: Julie knows her neighborhoods, from what good value looks like, location pros and cons, and what homes will eventually go for, including how long you'd likely have to wait to get a certain price range. Her expertise is spot-on and very helpful in navigating the market! - Team of Experts: From Julie's broader realty team to her video/photography team and social media strategy, you're dealing with professional experts the whole way, especially as a seller competing in hot markets. Our condo easily stood out in photos and videos and was under contract for almost list price in less than two weeks on TAN, compared with comparable units in our building listed on MLS for months. - Transaction Support: Given how well connected Julie and her team are she provides references for strong options for lawyers as well as lenders. Her team is also helpful in pushing the transaction forwards through attorney review period, including being candid on what's fair to ask for, what's out of scope, and managing your expectations as both a buyer and a seller. She's a great resource for what's "normal" during a transaction, especially around delays and negotiation moves, which helps alleviate stress through the process. Added Value: When you view a property Julie is able to easily paint a picture for updates you could make with approximate costs. She is also part of TAN, which enabled us to both buy and sell our homes without ever listing on MLS. And finally, she goes above and beyond with referrals and tips well beyond the close of your transaction. We're 2.5 months post-close on our house and still reach out to Julie and team for referrals to their favorite Rug companies, electricians, etc. because she knows all of the best resources.

Julie was extremely helpful to me when I was looking to purchase a Second Home in Chicago. I live in San Diego, and the process to offer and acquire property is much different in Illinois than in California. Julie was readily available to provide detailed and helpful information, be available on weekends, and really was a great resource. Thank you Julie!

I absolutely loved work working with Julie and her team! They made our condo search seamless. They were incredibly easy to work with, genuine in their approach to helping us look for the perfect home and supportive with all of our choices. Julie is incredibly knowledgable and asked great questions during showings, and made the process of signing contracts and closing as easy as possible. I will definitely be using her in the future and recommending her to anyone who needs real estate help!

I first met Julie at an open house and after giving her my contact information, she reached out and lined up a couple of homes to show my husband and me. We weren't sure if we were ready to buy just yet but Julie was patient and listened to what our needs were and what we liked and didn't like. After a couple of months, we decided we were going to stay in our condo until our wedding was over and then reach back out when we were ready to start looking again. And the whole time, Julie understood. Fast forward 6 months, Julie helped us close on our dream home and we couldn't be happier. I highly recommend her!

Julie Busby is one of those people who not only is the best at what she does, she's 10X better than anyone else out there. If you're looking for someone who is not just going to meet, but exceed your expectations when it comes to buying your new home--Julie is your girl. Julie is patient, communicative, helpful and available and went to bat for us on each and every aspect of the purchase of our home. Not only did she help us find our brand new dream house, but she helped us get an "UNHEARD OF" deal using her savvy knowledge of the market. She's connected and works hard. And if I could give her 10 stars, I would. Work with this woman, or you're doing yourself a disservice!

I would like to start off by saying that Julie is a truly rare professional in that her extraordinary skills in her chosen field of real estate are surpassed only by a set of personal qualities, which set her far apart from her peers. She is incredibly hard working, knowledgeable, detail oriented, reliable and trustworthy, all skills that place her at the top of elite real estate professionals. However beyond these skills, she is a caring, personable, insightful and sincere person with whom to work. This combination of professionalism, talent and winning personality make her second to none in the Chicago real estate market and beyond. I originally contacted Julie to find out more about a home listing that she had in Chicago, while I was still living in my hometown of Boston. I was struck by how attentive she was to my questions and the speed with which she would get back to me. She further anticipated what a non-resident moving to the area might want to know about living in Chicago and about a market that is quite different from my own home market back in Boston. It was challenging searching for a home long distance. However, I knew at once that Julie would be the right agent for me from our very first communication. Her thoughtful answers, knowledge of the market, attention to detail and sincere caring for my home search disarmed any trepidations that I might have had about conducting search from the East Coast. She actually previewed multiple homes for me, since I was out of town and emailed me pictures as well as video. By doing so, she aided me greatly in narrowing my search, making my trips to Chicago to see homes most efficient and pleasant. At that time, the Chicago market was very low on inventory and homes were selling very quickly. I trusted Julie enough to understand my needs and preferences that I even made the offer on my home before I physically came to see it. Once I arrived at the home for my first viewing, I was extremely pleased and not surprised that Julie was "spot on" that I would love it! In the end, Julie helped me to find a home that is absolutely beautiful, in a neighborhood which suits me so well and at a great price. It would have been nearly impossible to have bought my home without Julie's knowledge, expertise, negotiation skills and attentiveness. Without reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend Julie Busby, if you are buying or selling a property in Chicago.

We have bought and sold many properties over the past 40 years. However, I have never worked with a more professional, competent and helpful real estate broker than Julie Busby. Julie and her team were just amazing and made the sale of our property easy. We live out of state and long distance sales requires a lot of coordination, between the buyer and seller. Julie's team went beyond our expectations in every way. If you are considering a sale or purchase, I would encourage you to use Julie Busby and her group. I know I will.

I cannot say enough good about the Busby Group and more specifically Ali Rozina. Ali has helped me since the day I stepped foot in Chicagoland (3+ years ago). She helped me (keep in mind I am the most picky and had SO many requests) find the perfect apartment not once but twice. It was my DREAM spot! More than I could have ever imagined. She spent hours searching for me and taking me on tours of over 8 places to make sure I felt comfortable, safe and most importantly at home! She has gone out of her way many times to check in with me and make sure things are still great at the apartment. Now that we are searching for a home Ali is our #1 girl. While being back in Wisconsin and trying to find the perfect spot in Chicago during this pandemic she has been incredible with communicating, understanding our wants/needs and again going out of her way to check in with us. Ali has also been extremely helpful as our friends make the transition from Wisconsin to Chicago in helping them find the perfect home. We can't wait for Ali to hand us over the keys to our new home that I have no doubt will be the most perfect place! Ali isn't like some others we've come across during our home-buying search that are looking for the next big sale... Ali truly cares about you and wants to make sure you find the perfect and forever home. Thank you Ali! We appreciate you and the Busby Group so much!

this is the second large transaction completed with julie. we would not even consider another team. she has a very experienced team that assumes all the details of the listing. communication is superb. lets face it, they have the brains, the personality, the good looks, etc. thats all nice, but the key in real estate is the deal.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Julie. She helped my husband and I look for a condo to rent before we moved to Chicago. We knew nothing, including what neighborhoods we should look into or how much to expect to pay. She made sure to give us honest recommendations which we really appreciated. Fast forward a few years and Julie helped us buy our first home in Chicago. She is so well educated on every neighborhood in terms of what they have to offer and what the limitations are. Julie found us the perfect condo and was 100% involved throughout the whole buying process to make sure all our ducks were in a row to close on time. We were so much less stressed out buying this home than we were with our last one and we really feel that Julie played a HUGE part in why things went smoothly this time around.

My husband and I had an absolutely incredible experience working with Julie on our home search. Not only is she knowledgeable on everything about the housing market, but she and her team made the whole process fun and easy. They were responsive to all of our questions, arranged showings very quickly, and even provided tips and recommendations on any contractors that we needed to hire after we moved in. We would recommend them to anyone and will definitely be using them again if we ever move!

Yelp needs five more stars for me to tell you how pleased we were with Julie and the amazing job she did selling a home and buying a new home at the same time. She made what could've been a very stressful process quite seamless. She is professional and very knowledgeable. For any situation that came up, she knows exactly how to take care of it or who to call. If you're looking for a great agent, do yourself a favor and do not hesitate to call Julie!

Julie was a great realtor to work with while buying our house. We were new to the home buying process and our needs evolved a lot over the course of our search. Julie was very patient and understanding and always genuinely wanted the best for us. She answered emails incredibly late at night to set up morning showings and even went above and beyond to help me do some undercover scheduling coordination for my engagement night with my fiancé. Would certainly recommend Julie as she is knowledgeable, experienced, hardworking and cares to get the right outcome for you.

Julie is an amazing person and professional. She was there from beginning to end when my wife and I purchased our dream home. Julie is knowledgeable of the market and really understands her clients needs. Julie made buying a home a seamless experience, if there ever really was one. My wife and I can not thank her enough for how much she guided, helped and was truly there for us during the whole process.

I have worked alongside both Julie Busby and the Busby Group at large for many years and am so fortunate to work with such an amazing group. As an attorney in the busy residential real estate space, I feel that Julie and her team are truly incredible, and my staff and I are always delighted to collaborate with her on any transaction, as she prioritizes problem-solving, communication, and top-notch service to each and every mutual client. I greatly value the fact that I can rely on the Busby Group to pay great attention to detail to every aspect of their part of the transaction, which makes it easier for me to accomplish my part in turn! Julie is a great advocate and excellent resource for buyers and sellers alike, and we enjoy every opportunity to work with her and her team toward a successful, smooth closing.

Bought and sold a Single Family home in Glen Ellyn, IL. From our very first conversation, it was clear we made the right choice in working with Maggie. She was strategic, insightful, and relentlessly helpful. Her expertise and steady guidance turned what could have been an overwhelming process of buying and selling into a smooth, even enjoyable experience—with results that exceeded our expectations. There were many things that set Maggie apart, but what stood out most was her communication and transparency. We had a lot of questions throughout both transactions, and she always responded quickly with thoughtful, thorough answers that helped us feel informed and at ease. We recommend Maggie and the entire Busby team without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Chicagoland area. You’ll be in incredibly capable—and genuinely caring—hands.

Bought a Multiple Occupancy home in 2024 in Humboldt Park. I cannot recommend Maggie enough! Over the years, she has helped me find 5 amazing apartments to rent, and more recently, she guided me through the home-buying process as a first-time buyer. Maggie made the entire transition from renting to buying seamless and stress-free, providing valuable insights every step of the way. What stands out most about Maggie is her dedication. Despite having many clients, she always makes me feel like I’m her top priority. Her professionalism and commitment to making sure I’m happy with every decision have been truly remarkable. Maggie has been nothing short of exceptional, and I am incredibly grateful for all her hard work and expertise. I will never use another agent again—Maggie is the best!

Sold a Condo home in 2025 in River North. So grateful to have worked with Julie and the Busby Group. We live in San Diego and worked with the Busby Group to sell our condo in Chicago. They managed coordinating my tenant move out, repairs, renovations, showings, and the entire legal process without us ever having to make a trip back to Chicago - this gave us so much peace of mind through the selling process. They were extremely professional, kind, receptive, prompt, and communicative throughout the entire process. I couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you Julie and team for such a positive experience!

Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2024 in Fairview, Skokie. Jane was truly our hero in both the selling our long-time home and in the purchase of our new home. Her calm demeanor, expertise, knowledge of current industry trends and ongoing communication throughout the process made for smooth transactions (even while experiencing a couple bumps in the road along the way). We would never have survived this process had it not been for Jane, her professionalism and all she brings to the table! We received an insane number of offers on our house - all due to Jane! Jane is the real deal!

Bought and sold a Single Family home Lockport. Maggie was absolutely amazing to work with! She was the agent for the sale of our old home and purchase of our new home. She is a true professional and is extremely knowledgeable of all things real estate. Maggie is so personable and easy to communicate with and she was always so accommodating- especially around our crazy kid’s schedules. We highly recommend Maggie for anyone looking to buy or sell! She is the best!!

Bought a Condo home in 2024 in Logan square. I truly cannot recommend Maggie highly enough. She was perfectly professional, knowledgeable, and we felt comfortable sharing our thoughts and questions with her. We ended up in our perfect home and couldn’t be happier. I hope to be here for many years to come, but if we ever move again I wouldn’t consider working with anyone other than Maggie.

Bought a Condo home in 2024 in Wrigleyville. Maggie was amazing in assisting us with the purchase of our home. She was patient with our timeline and diligent in finding options for us to see. She was honest and approachable when it came to our questions and concerns and we eventually found the perfect home right within our budget! I'll be recommending Maggie to any of our friends or family who are looking to buy or sell in the Chicagoland area.

Sold a Townhouse home in 2024 in Tinley Park. Maggie did an outstanding job in getting my home priced accurately, listed, and best of all, sold in three days with multiple offers and a sale price well above the listing price concluding in a seamless closing in less than 30 days. Five stars all the way! Highly recommended!

Maggie is an expert in her field. Her knowledge of Chicago neighborhoods was invaluable to the search process when looking at which area was best for me. She also has extensive knowledge on what to look for inside a home, how to approach the aesthetics, what appliances and fixtures are quality and value adds, how to look at space inside a home etc. She is a wonderful negotiator and communicator. When working with Maggie it felt like I was her only client. She is truly a delight to work with, accommodating to your schedule and will fight for the best deal.

Bought a Single Family home in 2024 in Palos Heights. We had the pleasure of working with Maggie as first time home buyers. She went above and beyond for us throughout the entire process. She was patient with us as we searched for a few months and always made herself available when we had questions. We are finally settled into our first home and we couldn’t have done it without her!

Sold a Single Family home in 2024 in Ravenswood. From our first meeting, we knew we had made the right choice! The Busby Group was with us every step of the way. Their knowledge of the market and professionalism is unmatched. Their extensive marketing plan and the beautiful photography showcased our home in the best possible way and sold it quickly. We can't recommend Julie and her team enough!

Sold a Condo home in 2024 in Northbrook. Jane was fantastic to work with on the sale of my condo. She provided great advice about preparing the condo for sale through the closing. She was always available to answer any questions and guide me through the sales process. Her knowledge of the market allowed the condo to go under contract in less than a week for over the asking price. I highly recommend Jane for any of your real estate needs..

Julie and her team at the Busby group are, hands down, the best realtors in the business. I honestly didn't even know that realtors could BE that good! From my first email to them, they were professional, warm, responsive, and so knowledgeable about the market, timing, pricing, etc. From their photographer to their scheduling team to their concierge service (which helped me find a fantastic painter and cleaners), I felt supported every step of the way. They told me at the outset that they treated every client with the highest level of service regardless of the sale price of their home, and this was 100% my experience--even though my condo wasn't a particularly high price point, they put in the work and treated me like my sale was their highest priority. It was a spectacular experience end to end, and I'm so grateful I got to work with the Busby Group--the best realtors in the business!

Sold a Condo home in 2023 in New Eastside. Jane was amazing to work with! It was a stressful family time to sell our property, but Jane changed this by managed every detail while proactively communicating every step of the way. She and her team were full service helping with contractors to repair, paint and re-carpet. The property was truly at its best when we went to sell. Finally, she understands the market and was able to sell our property in less than 30 days for top dollar! She is a true professional. You’re in great hands with Jane as your realtor! She’s the best.

Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2023 in Irving Park. Jane is amazing!! We utilized her expertise to sell our condo and buy a home at the same time. She made us feel so supported throughout a stressful (and exciting!) time. We love our new home and couldn't have gotten it without Jane's industry knowledge.

Bought a Condo home in 2022 in Fulton market district. I recently had the pleasure of working with Jane Lintelmann from Busby Group to purchase my new home in West Loop, and I am very pleased with the experience. From start to finish, Jane demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to helping me find the perfect property. Jane took the time to understand my preferences and priorities, and her guidance throughout the search process was invaluable. She was always available to answer any questions I had and provided insightful advice at every step. What stood out most about working with Jane was her dedication to finding the right home for me. She was patient, never pressuring me into a decision, and always ensuring that I felt comfortable and confident in my choices. Furthermore, Jane demonstrated exceptional negotiation skills when it came time to make an offer. She advocated for my best interests and worked tirelessly to secure a favorable deal—even when it meant Jane had to track down replacement bathroom mirrors at the last minute to close the deal. Jane’s expertise in navigating the complexities of the purchasing process made the entire transaction smooth and stress-free, even for a first-time buyer like me. Overall, I highly recommend Jane for your home search. Her professionalism, expertise, and dedication to her clients set her apart, and working with her was an absolute pleasure.

Bought a Condo home in 2023 in Wicker park. Jane is an absolute rockstar! We had heard good things from friends who had used her, and from the moment we met, we knew we were in good hands. As first-time homebuyers, her great attitude, clear knowledge and passion for real estate, and expert guidance were exactly what we needed. What truly sets Jane apart is her unmatched follow-up and care. Even months after closing on our home, she continues to check in on us, ensuring that we're settling in and happy. Her dedication to their clients goes above and beyond, and we feel incredibly grateful to have had them by our side throughout this journey. If you're searching for a real estate agent who not only helps you find your dream home but also genuinely cares about your well-being, look no further than Jane. She is a rare find in the industry, and we can't recommend her and Busby Group enough!

Helped me rent a Multiple Occupancy home in Lakeview. Michaela was such a big help in our search for an apartment. She knew a lot about the neighborhoods we were looking at, what we should be looking for in apartments, and helped us negotiate a price and tell us what the landlord would probably look for most when applying. I would highly recommend using Michaela for whoever is looking to move.

A big thanks to Busby Group on the recent sale of our home in Bucktown. Julie Busby and the Busby team not only excelled in their real estate expertise but also provided an exceptional concierge experience that exceeded our expectations. Their meticulous attention to detail and dedication to making the entire process as seamless as possible were truly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend Julie to anyone seeking not just real estate professionals but partners who prioritize a concierge-level experience in every aspect of the home-selling journey. Kudos!!

Sold a Single Family home in 2023 in Edgebrook. Michaela did an amazing job representing me in the sale of my home (which she sold in the PLN). I was thoroughly impressed by her market knowledge, professional checklists and the way she paid attention to the minute details throughout all phases of the sale. Michaela was proactive and key in resolving inspection negotiations when things got tough. I really couldn't have been in better hands and I highly recommend her as she is anamazing realtor to work with. Thanks, Michaela!

Michaela is the best realtor I’ve ever worked with!!! I knew that I was asking for a lot in an apartment but had a limited budget. And she was able to find some thing that exceeded my expectations. Not only that but she viewed properties when I wasn’t able to be present myself, and sent me videos so that I could still see them. Her communication is perfect and the whole viewing and signing process was seamless. Anytime that anyone mentions to me that they need to move in Chicago I tell them about Michaela.

I can’t say enough about our experience with Jane. She was always available to address our many (many) questions and concerns, and if she didn’t have the answers, she quickly referred us to someone who did. Her knowledge of the local market helped get us a final bid well above our asking price, and we couldn’t be happier with the job she and her team did.

Jane was exceptionally knowledgeable, professional and patient . We felt like we were in very good hands with Jane’s help in selling our Mom’s home. She made the process as painless as possible during an emotionally difficult time for my sister and I. She went the extra mile to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. I highly recommend Jane for your Real Estate needs.

Julie and her team, including Michelle, did an excellent job walking me through all of the necessary steps to purchasing my first home. Whether it was me asking what they would do in my shoes, or simple open-ended questions, I always felt that they had my best interest in mind. I was able to find, make an offer, and close on a home in less than 2 months, and it was WELL within the price range I set out from the start. If I need to buy/sell again in the Chicago area, I will be going with Julie and the Busby Group.

I was introduced to Michaela by a friend who spoke very highly of her, and my experience with her really matched up with the excellent things I had heard about her. She spent time thoroughly trying to understand what I wanted in terms of location, amenities, and general requirements from my new apartment and recommended listings in alignment with that. She is such a delight to work with– so prompt in her communication and working style and always responsive to client needs. I had been looking for a good apartment for a while, and I was getting anxious, but she helped alleviate so much of my stress with her knowledge of the inner workings of the rental market. She is so sweet and kind; she went above and beyond for me and enabled me to find a place I absolutely adore. Working with a realtor is great for reducing communication & scheduling overhead, and Michaela is one of the best ones out there. I would highly recommend working with her for your housing search!

Thank you so much for your support, you and your team have been nothing but a great help to push the sell through. From day one until the last day. Your team managed to take the role to meet with the contractors and go over all the outstanding items that needs to be taken care off. Michaela took the window's screen and replaced them on her own time, I never heard any complain from you or your team about all the obstacles we had faced. Your work is impeccable! You and your team NAILED IT ! I will definitely consult with you in the future for any real estate needs, it was great dealing with you and the rest of your team! Thank you!

Sold a Multiple Occupancy home in Near west side. Julie and her team exceeded our expectations in terms of service and professionalism. The strategy they laid out for selling our home and understanding of the Chicago market was evident from the first presentation. Not only was her team there to help us at every turn but they also helped us maximize the value of our home. As a 100% remote seller, they handled everything needed to sell the home making the process as smooth as possible. We would recommend the team to anyone looking to sell their home.

Sold a Single Family home in 2023 in Palos park. THANK YOU MAGGIE!! Maggie was with us every step along the way and is truly one of the most patient and funniest professionals. Maggie offered industry expertise, recommendations/suggestions, and was very detail oriented and diligent. We moved across the country and left our Chicagoland area home (to be listed and sold) in Maggie’s very capable hands. Our house was on the market, under contact and ultimately sold very quickly thanks to Maggie and the Busby team. Grateful to have had your help!

Bought a Single Family home in 2023 in Riverside. Maggie was phenomenal from the start. Maggie gave us a thorough understanding of the sales process from the start, she was eager and willing to go see homes based on our availability and provided a lot of experienced knowledge related to the homes themselves. She has a kind, calm, assertive presence that made me feel comfortable with her ability to navigate negotiations on our behalf, which she did not fall short on. Maggie was a critical member of the buying process, from the offer to close, she never left us feeling unattended.

Bought a Single Family home in 2023 in Tinley Park. Maggie helped me move into a house of my dreams. When others told me house buying is a stressful, long road I was intimidated. But she told me exactly what I need and we hit the road. She was available at any time I had any questions or needs. This was one of the smoothest experiences of my life. She helped me and suggested great options. I will also recommend her to anyone buying or selling a house. This was a great experience.

Bought a Single Family home in 2023 in Galewood. My husband and I recently moved to the Chicago area to be closer to family. We needed the expertise of a realtor who could understand our needs, help us consider neighborhoods that would suit our lifestyle while understanding the challenges of relocating to a new state. Julie Busby and her group did that exactly. We had the impression that this team really cared about our relocation, the importance of living closer to our son and daughter in law and supported our vision of how we wanted our lives to look with extended family in the future. Having bought and sold several houses in the past, this has by far been the best experience we have ever had. If needed, I would use Julie and her team in the future!

Bought a Single Family home in 2022 in Arlington Heights. My husband and I just purchased our first home which we anticipated to be an immensely nerve-wracking experience. I'm more than happy to say that the process was effortless with Ali Rozina and the Busby Group by our side! The team provides a concierge-style service by ensuring timely communication and walking first-time buyers through the often overwhelming steps of buying a home. Not only was this process easy, but it's clear that Ali has an in-depth knowledge of real estate which ensures a sense of trust and confidence throughout the process. She truly cares and will gladly discuss any questions or concerns as many times as needed. We have referred many friends and family members to Ali and the Busby group who have had just as fantastic of an experience as my husband and I. I can genuinely say anyone who is lucky enough to work with Ali as their real estate agent is in dedicated and experienced hands!

Sold a Condo home in 2022 in Humboldt Park. Not only was Liza and her team absolute experts in selling condos in Chicago, they were kind, supportive and flexible every step of the way. We felt incredibly supported. Selling a home is so stressful and I sent my fair share of panicked emails, and Liza was able to be reassuring due to her extensive knowledge and experience while being transparent and real. I knew my expectations on the whole process were realistic and I could trust Liza and team. Ultimately we got a fantastic offer on our home and were able to negotiate needs for our family to make our move as smooth as it could be during such a tumultuous time. Thank you, Liza!

Bought a Single Family home in 2022 in Deerfield. Julie Busby and her entire team were amazing and so wonderful to work with. Being from out of state, they helped us through the entire process, answered all the questions we had, and were always always responsive to our calls - even the ones that were late and on the weekend! Our agent, Maggie was very professional and helped educate us on what we should and shouldn't be looking for in a property since we were unfamiliar with what to watch out for in an older home that experiences extreme weather conditions. She went above and beyond our expectations and we would highly recommend the Busby Group to anyone with real estate needs.

Bought a Single Family home in 2022 in Belmont Central. Working with Julie Busby was a delightful experience. She and her team were informative, accurate and professional every step of the way. We appreciated the communication, negotiating skills and wonderful teamwork as each person on our team made us feel like their only client. From hunting for the right property to closing the deal and through settlement, the entire team worked to make the process smooth. Their efficiency made sure that no detail was missed. They even recommended a contractor to estimate work that needed to be done. Their contractor gave us the quote and finished the work professionally and quickly after settlement. After many real estate purchases, this was the most smooth! Way to go, team!

Sold a Single Family home in 2022 in Galewood. Julie and her team is nothing short of amazing. I wish she did more than real estate, because working with her is a dream. From meeting us, getting to know our needs, to finding our new home and selling our old home, she and Susan, and everyone on her team was fantastic. She is super responsive to emails and text at all times, patient, understanding, so supportive, incredibly knowledgeable of all things related to real estate, the market, contract negotiation, etc. She helped us navigate some unexpected hurdles with our lender, with our contract and with my husband's citizenship status. And even post sale, she's been so amazingly helpful. The recommendations she's given me for work we're doing on the home is so valuable - we've found an amazing design, a contractor, etc etc all through Julie and her network of professionals that are skilled and dedicated. I can't imagine having gone through moving and buying with anyone other than Julie and if I ever have to do it again, there's no question, Julie and team are the only way to go. Thanks so much Julie, as I've said before, your level of attention to detail, personal and individual care and attention, knowledge and sheer expertise is unmatched. You are the leader in your field hands down and we love you!

Bought and sold a Condo home in 2022 in Gold Coast. It was a pleasure to work with Julie -- she is a true expert, easy to get along with, and always putting her clients first. Most of all, she has an AMAZING team. Everyone who I worked with at the Busby Group shared Julie's high expectations and helped make it a great experience. I had a tricky sale, and I was under contract for a purchase at the same time. Julie was right alongside me the whole way and supported me in the tough moments. Ultimately, I'm convinced the transactions would not have been successful if I had not worked with someone as talented as Julie. I am very happy in my new home, and that is thanks to the Busby Group. Would highly recommend!

Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2022 in Western Springs. We have had the luck of working with Julie and her team several times over the last 5 years, and I cannot rave about her and her team enough. Most recently, the Busby Group both managed the sale of our condo and helping us buy our dream home, beating out MULTIPLE offers in the Chicago suburbs, even using our VA loan, without waiving inspection or appraisal. Julie's negotiation will get it done. From the first meeting, the Busby Group will make you feel like you are their only client - we worked with Pamela, who was second to none. Her eye and attention to detail was able to walk through a house and point out things we never would have noticed. We were fortunate to have her throughout this process. Between the fantastic operations (thank you, Jane!), to the ease and fantastic communication of scheduling (thank you, Emily), to the other agents that stepped in to help with last minute showings (thank you, Katie and Susan) - Julie and her team will be there for what you need, when you need it.

Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2022 in Morton grove. Jane was incredible to work with from start to finish. She made expert recommendations to prepare our house to sell- small tweaks that made a huge difference in our selling pricepoint. She helped us prioritize what was most important to us in the deal, and made sure we got everything we needed in an offer. Using the comps Jane put together, we were able to list at a higher price than we hoped, which helped us to up our budget to buy- a wonderful surprise to us. Everything from the open house to negotiating the offer to the appraisal went incredibly smoothly. Jane also helped us buy our new home, where she and her team helped us to find a wonderful place for us and maximize our investment in our new home. She was always fast to respond, exceptionally clear, and proactive in solving issues before they popped up. The process was seamless, we are beyond thrilled. We would recommend Jane and the Busby group to any home buyer or seller.

Sold a Condo home in 2022 in Lakeview. Maggie helped me sell my garden unit, which can be a tricky task no less in the crazy market that we see today. Her knowledge on the local market, interest rates, and my building/location specifically helped us get a selling price that everyone was happy with, in a very short time frame. Logistically she was very well organized when setting up photos, walk throughs etc. The buttoned up process she brings to the table made the process way less stressful than it could have been. Also incredibly responsive (within hours of an email) which I valued very much given how quickly things move in the Chicago market.

Sold a Condo home in 2022 in Lincoln park. We got to know Julie from a neighbor who sold their condo before us. Since they highly recommended her, it was a no brainer for us to go with Julie. And we are so glad we made the right choice. Julie, Maggie and the entire team is just so great to work with. The entire selling process was very smooth and they provided detailed instructions for every stage. Also because of the COVID situation, we did not want to do open house. Maggie accommodated our request and sometimes had to do 3~4 separate showings a day! The selling price was also above asking and better than what we expected. Very smooth and pleasant experience!

Bought a Townhouse home in 2022 in Lakeview,. Working with Ali as first-time homebuyers was such a pleasure for my partner and I! She helped us navigate a crazy housing market in Chicago while I was out-of-state. She showed us homes both off-market and on-the-market and provided great insight into how to put out an effective bid. Ali was able to provide great referrals for the whole closing process and beyond, from inspector/lawyer suggestions, to contractors who could help us with some renovations we wanted to get done, making it really simple to get closing done on an aggressive sellers-timeline. We would work with Ali again 100% when it comes to finding another home in Chicago or selling.

Bought a Condo home in 2022 in Ravenswood. Maggie was wonderful to work with and did an amazing job helping us find our first home! She took the time to learn what we were looking for in a home and provided a lot of different options to looks at.

Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2021 in Alsip. Maggie was an incredible realtor to work with! This was our first time home buying process and she walked us through every step of the way with expert advice, knowledge and was so responsive. We looked at many houses with Maggie because we weren't sure exactly what we wanted and she was always patient with my numerous late night texts and emails. She is organized and cares about all the little details to make your experience so special. I would recommend Maggie to any homebuyer! You will not be disappointed!

Bought a Condo home in 2021 in West town. Susan is the absolute best. My wife and I had the chance to work with her in the summer of 2021 to buy our first home, and we could not be happier.

She rocks.

Bought a Single Family home in 2021 in Wheaton. My husband Kris and I feel so fortunate to have worked with Maggie at Busby Group to buy our very first home! Maggie was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, professional, and so clearly dedicated to her job/clients. As first-time buyers during the crazy Spring 2021 housing market, Maggie’s expertise and guidance were greatly appreciated. We walked into this process with very little knowledge, and walked away with no question left unanswered. From promptly arranging many showings, to helping us navigate, and ultimately win, a multiple offer situation, to talking us through the closing process, we felt supported the whole way. Maggie no doubt turned what could have been an intimidating and stressful experience as first-time buyers in a competitive market, into a fun an easy one. Though we don’t plan to move anytime soon, we would welcome the opportunity to work with Maggie and Busby Group again!

I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Sold a Single Family home in 2021 in Blue island. From beginning to end, every step of the way, Julie, Maggie and the entire Busby Group team supported, guided and advised me. I never imagined that selling a house could be a good experience, but with Busby Group it was. I had the task of selling a home that had been in the family for over 70 years. Julie patiently reassured me, explained and managed each step and was always available to answer my questions and doubts. Julie and Maggie were unbelievably prompt in their communication, no detail overlooked, no question too remedial. If you want a top level negotiator, Julie is your person, hands down. She showed me how a super-pro works. We had a contract within a week of listing. Busby Group exceeded my expectations by a long shot. It was a pleasure and a privilege to work with Julie and her team.

Her legal background is extremely helpf as well. Cannot say enough good things- you’d be lucky to work with her!
