The BG team expands: Welcome Celeste Chicas!

Welcome to the team, Celeste! I am so excited to have Celeste join the team because she brings not only a great “can do attitude,” but years and years of real estate law experience. She knows contracts inside and out, and is able to translate complex legal jargon. I have already seen her knowledge as a great asset to her clients!

To help everyone get to know Celeste better, she answered some fun questions about her background and the year ahead.

What did you do before starting in real estate? 
Before starting my career in real estate I worked in real estate law and intellectual property law for more than a decade. 

What is your favorite part of working in real estate? 
My favorite part of real estate is being of service to people transitioning to the next chapter of their life and meeting new people.

What does your typical day entail? 
My typical day starts with a cup of coffee, a walk with my dog and some exercise. I have a nice breakfast before I check my email then prepare for a day of showings, inspections or meetings with clients. 

What drew you to Busby Group?
What first drew me to the Busby Group was that it is a top 1% team of all women team, as well as their team structure and diversity. I initially found Busby Group on Instagram, and quickly found myself falling in love with the team! I am so proud to be a part of it.

What was your big ah-ha moment in your real estate career thus far? 
A huge realization for me was understanding the importance of trust throughout the process, and the amount of responsibility that that entails. 

What are you most excited about in the coming year? 
I look forward to continuing to help many Chicagoans find their new home and make an impact in their lives by providing the best service possible. 

Where do you live in Chicago, and what is your favorite neighborhood? 
I live in Ukrainian Village and have to say that this is my favorite neighborhood and I also really enjoy the West Loop! I also love the easy access to some of Chicago’s best restaurants. One of my goals with my husband is to try to new restaurant at least every month.
