Though Hadley Rue has amassed an impressive sales record through tenacity and cutting-edge sales strategies, he will be the first to say that the numbers aren’t nearly as important as the relationships he has forged in his real estate career. “Building strong, enduring relationships with my clients is the most rewarding aspect of my work,” he confirms. As proof, his success is built on a foundation of loyal clients and referrals.
With more than $150 million in sales to back up his tagline, “Rue Can Do,” Rue has been a top producer for Dream Town Real Estate and the Chicago Association of Realtors for the last six years. In 2018, 2021 and 2023, he was Dream Town’s No. 1 individual producing broker by volume, and in 2022 he was No. 1 companywide for units sold. Named a notable Realtor by Crain’s Chicago Business, he has been featured in Chicago Real Producers magazine and recognized as a Five Star Real Estate Agent.
Rue’s passion for his work is rooted in his personal experiences of buying and selling properties. Having served on several condominium boards, he understands the importance of a healthy operating association and sound finances. “I appreciate what it means to be on both sides of the table, and I’m always sensitive to my client’s specific needs and goals,” he says.
Having grown up in the western suburbs, Rue has firsthand insight into its many neighborhoods and school districts. His previous career on the North Shore helped familiarize him with those communities, and later he conducted one of the largest real estate transactions in that area. An 18-year resident of Edgewater-Andersonville, he has a deep knowledge of Chicago’s North Side neighborhoods, too, and loves calling the area home.
With meticulous attention to detail, a tailored, client-centric approach, integrity, hard work and positive energy as his hallmarks, Rue consistently aims to exceed his clients’ goals. When not working, Rue enjoys supporting his community and serves on several nonprofit boards.
