Several of our clients needed to sell their current home in order to buy their next, a situation that can be stressful in a market where home sale contingencies are rarely accepted. Our team prepared and listed each property strategically, secured multiple offers, and negotiated both a home sale contingency and a lease back. This allowed each family to access their funds, secure their next home, and avoid any gap in housing. It was a smooth, coordinated transition that gave our clients certainty during an important move.

When a family in Blue Island, IL lost a loved one, the trust administrator lived in Texas and couldn’t be present to manage the property. During an emotional time, they needed more than a listing agent — they needed a trusted partner.

We began by assessing the home’s condition and providing clear guidance from afar. We coordinated an estate sale, identified strategic updates with strong return potential, sourced contractors, secured city approvals, and managed the entire renovation process on the family’s behalf.

When it was time to go to market, we told the home’s story with heart — honoring its history while highlighting the opportunity for new memories. Despite a slower market, we generated multiple offers and guided the family in selecting the strongest, most seamless path to closing.

The home closed on time, delivering both financial return and peace of mind. Afterward, we presented the family with a custom memory book of the home — a small gesture to honor a meaningful chapter.

At Busby Group, your family needs are important to us and our concierge services help show our genuine care for your best outcome. 

After nearly 30 years in their beloved Orland Park home, this family was ready to begin a new chapter. The home had been beautifully maintained but reflected finishes from decades past.

We guided them on what today’s buyers value most and identified thoughtful, cost-effective updates that would deliver strong return without unnecessary expense. With our trusted contractor, we managed strategic improvements that elevated the home while honoring its character in a short amount of time in order to catch the market when there was still demand.

Once listed, we negotiated a strong offer quickly — one that provided both excellent terms and the flexibility needed to find the next home. After three decades in one place, the search felt overwhelming.

Through our private network and access to off-market opportunities, we secured the perfect downsized home in a walkable area near local attractions — an ideal setting for their next season of life.

We love seeing them in town enjoying this new chapter and are thrilled we were able to be apart of it.
