Owen Duffy

Broker
Fulton Grace Realty

As a broker at Fulton Grace Realty, Owen Duffy enjoys working with a wide range of clients, from large developers to first-time homebuyers. For each client he tailors his approach to fit their specific needs. “Adaptability is important — you need to know how to relate to people and give them what they want,” he says. “For example, if someone is looking for a home to grow a family, I want to focus on things that will matter to them — such as school districts and neighborhood amenities.” Eager to learn and understand, Duffy continuously seeks to stay ahead of the game when it comes to market trends. “My work ethic and availability are key aspects to my business and why clients like to work with me,” he says.

Specializing in the downtown, North and West neighborhoods of Chicago, Duffy has reached a new peak six years into his career. In 2016, the Chicago Association of Realtors named Duffy as a top producer, and he was also listed as one of the fastest growing agents in the city by Chicago Agent magazine. “Thanks to the support of my client base, 2017 is on track to be another record year, with the target of doubling my sales volume,” he says.

Before joining the real estate industry, Duffy worked in new business development for a large retail organization in Ireland, where his duties included brand enhancement and the expansion of new stores. That experience gave him essential tools that he uses to guide his clients through a significant milestone in their lives. “Seeing what goes into finding new locations, negotiating the terms of the deal, and overseeing the project from concept to completion was very rewarding,” he says. “Experiencing the thrill of a successful project with all the moving parts and people involved has served me well in the world of real estate.”
