Owen was a pleasure to work with. He helped me sell a condo I owned for top dollar in a tough interest rate environment (spring 2024). I would strongly recommend Owen for anyone in the market to buy or sell. He was low to no pressure throughout the process and his advice was on point. read more

We were referred to Owen by a friend, and he and his team did not disappoint. They went above and beyond to answer all of our questions in a timely manner, and satisfy our needs in terms of searching for an amazing condo. Thanks to Owen's guidance, we found an amazing property and were able to submit a great offer that beat out so many other competing offers. We would 100% recommend Owen and his team to anyone! read more

Owen and his team provided impeccable service for the sale of our condo. His listing price and assessment was spot on. The unit was under contract in under 2 weeks. I had a tenant in the unit which he coordinated with and was respectful of in terms of scheduling. He was very professional and responsive throughout the entire transaction. read more

Owen helped us sell our old house and buy our new one in River Forest. He gave us great advice on staging the old house and helped us get a company to supply furniture to stage it for sale. Owen also helped us with great recommendations for the other people you need to close a deal and made sure we were informed and comfortable with the process. Communication was great and timely. We received more for the old house and paid a little less for the new house than we'd expected. His advice was very good. read more

Owen and his team helped me sell my condo which I'd been renting out for past 3+ years. He was professional, communicative, and did an outstanding job coordinating the process and really helping me avoid headaches as an out-of-state seller. Even with some last-minute challenges on the buyer's side, he stayed cool and kept things on track, resulting in a successful transaction. I'd be more than happy to work with Owen again in the future! read more

Owen and his Chicago-based team helped us buy our first home in Chicago this fall. They were fantastic to work with - providing sage advice throughout the entire process from home search to offer through closing. He also provided referrals as needed for for necessary third parties required to complete the transaction (e.g., inspector, attorney). After going through this purchase experience, we trust Owen and his team emphatically and will definitely recommend him to friends and family, as well as use him for future real estate purchases within the Chicago area. This was technically our second time working with Owen. He also helped us find our high-end apartment in Wicker Park in 2019. We needed more space after having a baby and transitioning to the work from home standard of 2020 due to COVID-19. We reached out to him when we were ready to start our home buying process based on our first experience and were again very pleased. read more

We were referred to Owen by friends of ours who raved about him. His availability, reliability, drive, candor, and overall professionalism was beyond what we had expected. As first time home buyers, we had concerns about being "pushed" in a certain direction, but that was the opposite with Owen. From our first interaction onward, we could tell that he cared deeply about understanding us as clients and what we care about. He was able to provide us with a wide array of options that fit our criteria, and he was just as focused as we were to not just find "a place" but to find the right place. We ended up with our dream home, under budget, and we couldn't be more grateful. We plan to refer Owen to any friends of ours that are looking for a new home. Simply put, he's great. read more

We moved out of our condo in mid March, 2020 and Owen received the listing the last week in March. This transpired at the start of the Covid-19 shutdowns and although quite challenging, Owen never missed a beat. He maintained his optimistic professional manner and continued to provide impeccable guidance in-spite of ever changing obstacles presented by Covid. What made it more impressive was the fact the we were out of town during the sale and Owen represented our property as if it were his own. If you want a real estate agent who gets things done call Owen! He sold our condo during a pandemic. (Does anything else need to be said?) read more

Owen Duffy was the listing agent for a rental property that I recently sold. I live out of state so everything was done remotely and I only met with Owen once in person prior to listing the unit on the market. In a nutshell, Owen was absolutely fantastic to work with. He was transparent, responsive and totally available whenever I had questions. He is also a true professional and also has great instincts in navigating the ups and downs that can arise during the selling of a property. Given that I sold this unit during the height of COVID-19, Owen was a huge asset to have on my side. I would highly recommend Owen Duffy for the sale of any property in Chicago. read more

A real estate agent has a number of clients to satisfy: the buyer, the seller, the management company(ies) of common properties, and vendor/providers of services. Owen and Kassie very deftly handled the sale of my condominium in the Loop area of Chicago. They worked with me for the right price point. They cultivated the buyer to understand the benefits of the property and location. They communicated well and often between all parties. I was never in the dark, even though the sale took longer than expected and was filled with more challenges that originally envisioned. Reliable. Trustworthy. Competent. 3 words that come to mind when I think of the service offered by Owen and Kassie. read more

I am a first time buyer so was new to the whole process and unsure of what exactly I was looking for (at first). Having now just closed on my first condo, I can say choosing Owen and his team was the best decision I've made. They were so patient and helpful throughout, I'm certain I could not have done it without them. From the earliest stages of the search process all the way through closing and even after, I felt completely supported and never had a single complaint about this team. It truly felt like they had my best interest as priority #1. They have an extensive network of highly professional specialists who I was able to lean on heavily. 10/10 would absolutely recommend Owen and his team to a friend. read more

Owen stayed with us selling a 3 bedroom through 3 years! On and off the market we went, but each time we were headed into battle Owen was in lockstep with our remote selling needs, often our man on the ground when we couldn't be there through remodel estimates and work, repairs that took us off market, mostly showing the unit himself unlike other popular realty companies, and consequently passing through buyer feedback and questions directly. Ultimately his recommendation to try staging one more time intersected with his inviting back specific buyers who'd reached the right stage of their buying cycle did the trick! If you're selling a tricky unit and all the market forces are against you, Owen will stick it out and not just tell you to chase the list price down a rabbit hole for quicker agent selling stats. Oh and we love Fulton Grace overall, including Fulton's rental property management service which was affordable and well integrated with selling. read more

Owen Duffy and Kassie Irwin were great to work with on the sale of our home in Avondale. Owen helped advise us on the right listing price which got us an offer within a week at a time when the market was seasonally slow. He kept us informed and was very communicative throughout the process. read more

I'm highly satisfied with my home buying experience with Owen and will recommend him to everyone I know. I've made multiple moves across the country, but have always rented prior. I finally decided to make the leap and purchase a home when told I was moving to Chicago. I made the call to Fulton Grace based on recommendations from a friend and was put in contact with Owen. He was very helpful from the get go to explain how the overall process would go and what the immediate next steps were. He listened to what my priorities were in a home and helped me refine my search area. He also put me in contact with a local lender. I had already contacted the major banks for mortgage options, but actually ended up going with Owen's recommendation on a local lender. Being that I was moving to Chicago from another state, I had only 1 week to get my house hunting completed and find a place. Owen did a great job of taking the listings that I hoped to see and setting up a schedule that maximized my time. He was able to coordinate viewings at 30 properties in 3 days. No small task. Each day Owen had a folder containing the details of each property that we were going to see. By seeing so many properties, I felt very comfortable that I had seen what the market had to offer, and was ready to put in an offer. He helped me determine the appropriate offer amount based on comparable properties and also advised on strategies outside of just price point. Even though I was not in Chicago, I felt very connected to the process and informed by emails and phone calls from Owen through out the entire process. There was never a time when I had a question that Owen wasn't available to provide answers. He was also a valuable resource for recommendations on the different entities that will be needed during the buying process. From lenders, to home inspectors, to attorney's, I was very pleased by the service that I received from each of his recommendations. I would recommend Owen to friends, family, coworkers, anyone I hear that needs a realtor. read more

Owen was the ultimate professional in helping us sell our condo in the West Loop. He was kind, patient, experienced and always available during this stressful process. He and his team did a great job assisting with coordinating renter move out, refinishing our floors and finding a good staging company to showcase the unit. He helped keep on top of deadlines and closing was as smooth as it could be. Would recommend him and his team without reservation! read more

Owen helped us sell our property and was absolutely amazing to work with. We live out of state and the property needed some updating after it's time as a rental. Owen handled all of that coordination as well as the sale. His positive attitude and general ability to simply get things done was incredible. He is a true professional that adds value to the process and couldn't recommend him enough. read more

Owen Duffy and Kassie Irwin led the sale of our condo in Chicago. Throughout the sale process they kept us well informed, put us in touch with the right vendors, and efficiently managed the sale process. We ended up receiving an offer within 24 hours of listing, closing the transaction 4.5 weeks later. Highly recommend Owen, Kassie and the entire Fulton Grace Team. read more

Owen was a great help during our search, he asked up front what we were looking for in a home and was very good about keeping that in mind when passing along potential homes for us to look at. Very helpful and responsive during the search and once under contract during the purchase. I would recommend him to anyone but especially first time buyers. read more

Owen was excellent to work with and has all the resources to help his clients with any and all issues that might arise. We were out of state sellers that had a tenant for 4 years and had a lot of work that needed to be done before we put it on the market. Owen worked diligently with the building management to co-ordinate a handyman and flooring contractors. He took charge and helped us every step of the way. Writing this review is really the least we can do. I can't recommend Owen and Fulton Grace Realty enough. Their professionalism and dedication to their clients make it easy to give them 5 stars! read more

My husband and I first met Owen while visiting open houses. We toured one of his listings and he was the only one to follow up and offer further information on his expertise. We scheduled an appointment to meet for coffee. We weren't anticipating working with a realtor without asking around for recommendations but were impressed after the meeting and decided to work with him. It ended up being a great decision! Owen was terrific. He was proffessional, punctual, and easy to work with. He also sold our property and through some intense negotiations we received the deal we were looking for. My husband and I were complete strangers to Owen when we met and would now consider him a friend. read more

Owen was great to work with! He helped me sell my West Loop condo while I was already living two states away! He guided me through all of the ups and downs that came with selling my first property, and ultimately helped me close at a price I was very happy with! read more

I could not recommend Owen and his team more. He is on top of the details, the market and communicates clearly. With other commitments, I was unable to be in the unit often and Owen was on top of each step of getting a deal done. I would highly recommend and reuse his services. read more

Owen is great! I chose to work with him based on his amazing online reviews, and he lived up to all of them. He was extremely knowledgeable and responsive, and made my first home buying experience as stress-free as possible. It took more than 6 months to find the right place, and he stayed consistently positive and helpful the entire time, including the closing and beyond. Owen also has a great network of contacts, including a fantastic lawyer and home inspector. I highly, highly, recommend him 5+ read more

Owen is one of the best real estate agents I have ever worked with. He is knowledgeably, helpful and very responsive. Owen worked with me to secure the perfect new home in Chicago when relocating from Toronto. Despite hurdles like not having a US credit rating, he never wavered and thanks to him I'm living in the nicest apartment I've ever had the pleasure of inhabiting. Beyond his professional approach, Owen is a lovely human being, very patient, open and friendly. I highly recommend you connect with Owen for your next home - rented or bought. You will thank me! read more

I was referred to Owen by a friend of mine who had recently used him to sell his condo in Lakeview. When I did reach out to Owen he was very responsive and referred me to a couple of lenders to get the ball rolling. When discussing my criteria he was very knowledgeable and highlighted pros and cons of buying in different types of buildings. He scheduled all the showings around my work schedule and not his which was a huge help. His industry resources are great and I ended up using his attorney referral which turned out very well. I appreciated that he never applied any high pressure tactics or expectations which was one of my fears working with an agent. I would absolutely recommend Owen Duffy to anyone who is buying / selling a home in the Chicago area. read more

My Fiance and I started our home search in September 2015 and initially started to search on our own. We didn't have much luck and used a couple of agents with the same result. But when we met Owen we immediately noticed a difference. He met with us and asked us specific questions about what we were looking for. This was very important to use because we were looking for something to meet our specific needs. Owen set up a search for us and only took us to view places that fit our wants. What we appreciated most was his candid honesty about what he thought about the properties. this was very helpful to us. We appreciated that he prioritized us throughout the process. we finally found the home we wanted and put in an offer. Owen gave us some valuable input throughout the negotiating process and that is something we really valued, especially as first time home buyers. We closed on the place last week and we couldn't be happier. We would not hesitate to recommend Owen as an agent. He is very professional, knowledgeable and thoughtful. These are qualities that you want in your real estate agent. read more

Owen was a pleasure to work with. He was always super responsive and knew the Lincoln Park area inside and out. I would highly recommend using him if you want to sell or buy a place in the Lincoln Park area. You can use another realtor if you want, but they're just not going to be as good Owen. He made our selling process simple and smooth. Thanks again! read more

Owen was a great help as my husband and I searched for an apartment in Chicago! We were apartment hunting remotely from San Francisco and he was flexible enough to have a friend of ours do a video tour of the space we eventually rented, taking the time to explaining features of the unit that were difficult to see through via video and working closely with the owners to finalize rental details with us. He was also kind enough to take measurements of the entire apartment so we could buy furniture and plan out our new space while moving cross country. I would highly recommend Owen to anyone hunting for a new place to live in Chicago! read more

Owen is the best real estate agent we could have asked for. My husband and I were searching for our first home together and got so lucky when we were connected with him through an inquiry about a property on a real estate website. We submitted our inquiry and less than 5 minutes later a super friendly Owen called to discuss! I have never had anyone follow up to any inquiry so fast. When we started our initial home search we were working with someone who was referred to us and was slow to respond to our inquiries and questions therefor causing us to miss out on a couple of great properties. Not Owen -- he is so prompt and timely with responses to any questions or concerns we had, got us in quickly to see places we were interested in and was top notch when it came to real estate expertise and advice. So refreshing and important when there are hot properties that are selling so fast! His patience as we sifted through many potential properties to find the perfect place was truly appreciated. And when we finally found our home, Owen expertly negotiated the deal and guided us along the closing process. We couldn't be happier with our new home!! If you are looking to buy or sell please do yourself a favor and reach out to Owen! You will not regret it!! read more
