Janet Roderick & Lena Buescher, Brokers

The Janet Roderick Group, @properties Christie’s International Real Estate

Realizing they could provide a more well-rounded experience of full coverage and seamless service as a team, Janet Roderck and her daughter, Lena Buescher, joined forces to make up The Janet Roderick Group. “We care deeply about getting our clients the best deal for their personal situations,” they say. “We have many repeat clients and longtime referrals because people really enjoy working with us.”

Brokers with @properties Christie’s International Real Estate, the duo represents first-time homebuyers, multifamily investors, empty nesters and growing families, as well as manage estate sales. Their market includes Bronzeville, the South Loop, West Town, Logan Square, Lakeview, the North Shore, Oak Park and Elmhurst. Going wherever their clients’ needs take them, the team has been working in other cities and states to help people relocate to Chicago.

In the real estate business for 35 years, Roderick started her career as a landlord before becoming a general contractor and developer with her husband. With a degree from Columbia College Chicago, she raised their four children in West Town and now lives in the Gap in Bronzeville. Buescher, born into the family rental business, entered the industry 10 years ago when she worked as a leasing agent while attending the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Known for being knowledgeable and detail-oriented, the two research properties thoroughly for their clients. “We serve them, not ourselves,” they explain. “We are able to use all the tools and connections we have to build a successful team of great attorneys, lenders, inspectors and handymen to assist in a successful outcome for our clients.”

Combing years of experience with a youthful outlook, Roderick and Buesche try to bring the best of both to every deal for their clients.
