Jeff Bushaw left his job in corporate finance and found his true calling in real estate. Together with his business partner, they established a thriving brokerage in Lincoln Park where he serves as the designated managing broker-owner of Main Street Real Estate Group. Bushaw relishes the challenge, competitiveness and diversity that come with working in the real estate industry.

For Bushaw, building a strong relationship with his clients is crucial. He takes pride in being a partner to them throughout the buying and selling process, putting their interests first and making himself available 24/7. According to Bushaw, showing the same level of respect to each client creates a foundation of trust and rapport. Referrals are the best compliment he can receive, and he values each and every one.

To maintain a strong connection with his network, Bushaw employs a combination of social media, email and other marketing channels. He recognizes that staying top of mind is critical when someone in his network considers buying or selling real estate.

Bushaw has a diverse client base, including buyers, sellers and investors from the city, as well as the northern and western suburbs. Most of his transactions come from direct referrals and leads from listings. He believes that consistency in daily activities is essential for success in real estate. Whenever he discovers new marketing techniques that work, he shares them with the agents in his brokerage. He loves collaborating and exchanging ideas with others.

In his free time, Bushaw enjoys boating, coaching his children’s little league teams, golfing and attending Cubs games at Wrigley Field.
