A few kind words…

 
 
We couldn’t have had a better experience with Julie and the team. They listened to exactly what we wanted, and more importantly helped us think about things we didn’t know we wanted.

We are with you every step of the way

Initial preparation: For many of our clients, we are in touch well before we actually start looking at properties preparing and educating. This way when the right property comes along, we are first in line.

Home search: One of the real initial obstacles for many buyers is gaining access to properties. If there is a home you want to see, we do whatever it takes to make that happen, including video/virtual showings.

Under contract: Our business is designed to optimize your experience. Our full-time client concierge helps with scheduling, and our Director of Operations manages transactions and keeps timelines on schedule.

Post-close: Busby Group clients know that they are clients for life. We stay in touch with all of our clients, and many reach out on a regular basis for referrals to anything from accountants to plumbers long after they have closed.


There is a whole marketplace you may be missing

A significant portion of our transactions are with properties that never hit the MLS. Make sure you see every opportunity before making a decision. Some of our off market platforms include:

Top Agent Network (TAN): Exclusive to the top 10% of agents in Chicago, TAN aggregates properties before they hit the market. We have found many properties for our clients via this forum.

Private Listing Network (PLN): Brokers pre-list properties on the PLN, a subset of the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), Chicago’s listing aggregator.

Compass Coming Soon (CCS): Compass clients receive exclusive preview alerts and access to Compass listings.

Busby Group network: With a combined 50 years in the industry, brokers reach out to us with pre-list market opportunities.

Our own listings: We are fortunate to represent 50% buyers and 50% sellers, and can many times match our buyers with coming soon listings.
