Julie Busby – Belgravia Realty Group

My fiancé and I have had the best experience working with Julie Busby. We have been working with her for about 2 months and we are closing on our place tomorrow in the Wicker Park area. She is the most wonderful realtor you could ever ask for. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and has the sweetest, most infectious personality. She is extremely organized, dedicated, thoughtful, friendly, understanding, and patient. She has been so very helpful and we would have signed a bad deal if it hadn’t been for her diligence and her networking contacts. We are now getting into a much better property and getting so many updates and upgraded features that we never thought we’d get. We met Julie at an open house for a property she was selling and we knew upon meeting her that we really wanted to work with her. We had been working with another realtor who didn’t seem to have our best interests in mind and when we met Julie we just thought she was so impressive we had to reach out to her to ask her to represent us. Our house hunt completely changed once we met Julie and she has just exceeded every expectation we could have had. She has gotten us into every house we’ve ever wanted to see, gotten us into houses that weren’t even on the market yet, and she knows so many people in the industry… it is insanely helpful. I swear it seemed as if she knew more than half the listing agents we saw throughout this process, and not only that, she just knows the right people to go to in every situation. She knows builders, architects, lenders, inspectors, lawyers, painters and movers… all of which we’ve been so impressed with. She is truly on your side and has your best interests in mind at every corner. She has gotten us to closing in record time on the property we are buying and I am confident that if we had anyone else it would not have happened. I cannot say enough about how wonderful it has been working with Julie. My fiancé and I have bought and sold properties in the past and have never had a great experience, and Julie is just so on top of things and so helpful, we will never consider working with anyone else ever again. We are so grateful to have met her and had the chance to work with her. She is the best!

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.

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 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 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.
