Three Properties. Three Neighborhoods. All Under Contract Before Hitting the Public Market.
In the past week, Busby Group placed three properties under contract across three different neighborhoods, including both city and suburban markets.
Each home received multiple offers and went under contract in less than one week, all before going fully live on the public market.
The properties included:
2335 N Commonwealth Ave, Unit 3G in East Lincoln Park
4040 N Mozart St, Unit 2 near Horner Park
19543 Division St in Mokena
Three distinct locations. Three different buyer pools. One consistent strategy.
What This Means for Buyers
In today’s market, access matters.
With inventory still tight and demand increasing, many strong properties are selling through private networks before ever appearing on the MLS. Buyers who rely solely on public portals often miss opportunities.
Working with a broker who can:
Identify and share off-market and pre-market listings
Leverage broker-to-broker relationships
Position your offer competitively in multiple-offer situations
can make the difference between securing a home and missing it.
Private network access is no longer optional. It is part of a competitive buying strategy.
What This Means for Sellers
For sellers, this week reinforces an important point: preparation and pricing drive results.
Each of these homes was:
Strategically priced based on hyper-local data
Thoughtfully prepared before exposure
Positioned to create urgency and competition
When a home is properly prepped and aligned with the market, it can generate strong activity immediately. In some cases, that momentum leads to multiple offers before going fully public.
Pre-market exposure allows sellers to test demand within trusted networks while maintaining control and discretion.
The Bigger Picture
These results were not limited to one neighborhood or one type of property. They occurred across the city and suburbs, showing that buyer demand remains strong when homes are positioned correctly.
Whether you are buying or selling, strategy matters more than ever.
