Bucky is the best! We worked with him to list our condo and find our current home. As a listing agent Bucky really did his research in the area. He knew what our condo should sell for and priced it right. He went above and beyond to ensure that our condo saw as much traffic as possible. He followed up with us after every showing. We were so impressed with the response we had to our condo-even in a down market. We really felt that with Bucky we were part of team all of us working towards the same goal. As our buying agent Bucky was awesome at showing us exactly what we wanted. Since we didn't know exactly where we wanted to end up-Bucky helped us to focus on what we needed and wanted so that we could make the right decision. He really was invested in our happiness and didn't want us to rush into anything. When we decided to back out of our first deal-Bucky didn't try and change our minds. He gave another list of options and said "let's look at some new stuff." He was always available and resourceful. If he didn't know an answer a question he knew how to find it. If Bucky tells you he'll take care of something you can rest assured it will get done. He's super communicative and will keep you in the know. Bucky thrives on making the process and positive and fun as possible. If you are selling or buying a home you will NOT be disappointed with Bucky. You and your home (old or new) are in good hands with him. We would never go to anyone else for our real estate needs. read more

There is not a better agent in the Chicagoland area. Bucky Cross is professional, extremely knowledgeable, and thouroughly driven to find the best for his clients. He took our very specific needs and patiently viewed many properties with us. He was always quick to return phone calls or emails, and was there to answer questions or concerns at all times of the process. If there happened to be a question he didn't know the answer to, he went all out in finding the answer or information needed. Bucky is personable, humorous, and fun to work with. He takes his job very personably, and is able to connect with clients that helps him to serve them in the best way for their situation. He is nothing at all like the "salesman" type - he had a genuine desire to help me, my wife and children find not just a house, but a home. Honest, trustworthy and sincere - traits that sadly are not found as often in professionals these days - but they all describe Bucky. If you are buying, selling, looking for a new place, or know someone who is - call Bucky Cross. Without question I give him five stars and recommend Bucky with the highest confidence. The consistent five star reviews you see here are not hype. Bucky is the real deal and more than deserves each and every one. read more

To say we had a fantastic experience with Bucky is a major understatement. When I met, I explained to him our dilemma of trying to sell two condos and purchase another one and trying to coordinate all of that to happen simultaneously. His response, "No problem". From our first meeting, my fiance' and I felt very at ease with Bucky. He took time to get to know what our tastes were in properties and where we wanted to live. When we went for showings, I thought we would see 1 or 2 places but he was able to line up 5-6 showings each day to make the best use of our time. We were already impressed. We were very picky with finding the right place but after a while of looking, Bucky found two that we were very excited to make an offer on. One of which ended up being our new dream condo. To not make this post longer than it already is... we had some issues with the buyers of both of our condos. Bucky was so helpful in resolving all the issues and acting as the intermediary. We are now moved in to our new place and feel like we have found a friend as well as a great realtor. So if you are looking for a realtor that cares and will do whatever he can to sell your place or find you that dream home, you can't do any better than Bucky!!! read more

FANTASTIC! First-time home buyers here and could not be more satisfied with Bucky's quality of service, support/guidance navigating this unfamiliar process and overall upbeat attitude. Bucky has a solid understanding of the current market in Chicago. We found ourselves in very competitive, multiple-offer situations, and he efficiently pulled together comparables and provided guidance on how to craft a competitive offer that we were comfortable with. Furthermore, he is in the Top Agent Network who has access to listings before they are officially posted on the market and he would quickly notify us if anything that fit our criteria/taste became available. Bucky made us feel like we were his only clients - taking time to support us at open houses, showings, home inspections and the final closing, as well as quickly responding to our messages and taking spontaneous phone calls to answer our naive questions. On top of that, he is just an overall joy to work with! My fiance and I would joke around that we would schedule excessive showings just to hang out with him. Thank you, thank you, Bucky, for helping us find our dream home!!! We will certainly be referring you to others with confidence! read more

Bucky was a great help to my family when looking for our first house. He was patient, thorough, and knowledgable! He always was ready to show us houses, and paid close attention to our housing requirements. We got exactly what we wanted, and we owe it all to him! My wife and I were impressed when Bucky came to a showing with a contract ready for us to fill out - he knew we were going to love the house he was showing us, and he was right! We just spent our first holiday season at our home, and realized we were thankful to have had Bucky's assistance and expertise when purchasing our home. Any time we have questions about anything real-estate related, we do not hesitate to contact Bucky. He has a great number of knowledgable connections, and is always able to answer our questions with unparalleled completeness. In fact, we are planning on listing a second property in the near future, and are without a doubt going to ask for Bucky's assistance. It is great to have found such a reliable, friendly, and helpful agent that we will continue to use for any of our future real-estate needs! read more

My experience selling my home and buying a new one with Bucky was wonderful. I originally met Bucky walking my dog in my neighborhood and I was so glad I ran into him when it came time to sell my house and purchase the house of my dreams! He guided me through the whole process with ease and humor. He was very knowledgeable, supportive and always ready to help out whenever I had a question or a problem during the somewhat emotional process of selling my house and buying my new home. He was always easy to reach throughout the whole process and also connected me with very qualified people, whether it be the home inspector or the attorney for closing. Also, because of his connections, I was able to sell my home without having to officially show it, making the sale of my home a stress-free process. He talked me through the entire process of purchasing the new home and had wonderful advice and recommendations throughout. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or purchase real estate in the Chicagoland area. read more

I don't even know where to begin in this review. Bucky was recommended to me by a friend of mine at my sons school. He was nothing short of amazing! We were moving on a very tight deadline due to relocation, he would always make himself available to help with whatever we needed in getting the property ready for show. We actually ended up moving and left all the other details in his hands and he handled it professionally and we closed a very short time after. We have bought and sold many properties and there is no doubt that Bucky is one of the best agents we have ever worked with. He still calls to check in to see how were doing in our new location! He definitely took the stress off of selling our condo and a lot of the stress off of just having to move in general buys just making sure everything was going OK here as well it was a great experience! read more

Bucky was by far the best real estate agent we have worked with. He was referred to us by another Chicago area agent (who I found just searching randomly on the internet) and we have been very pleased by the service, communication and commitment he gave to us. He was patient and supportive while we searched for a home across several Chicagoland areas over 4 months - while we sold our home in Milwaukee. Every time we walked through homes, he took the time to print out a packet of information on each home that we saw and happily gave us a tour of neighborhoods we've never been to. That level of service was beyond our expectations and our experiences working with realtors. We will definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy in Chicago. read more

Bucky is a true professional. I flew into Chicago for the weekend with my boyfriend with the intent to see as many properties as possible that fit my requirements and he certainly obliged and dedicated his entire weekend to me. He only provided me with properties he felt I would like and was always extremely well prepared ahead of time. I would constantly ask nit-picky questions and he always knew the answer off the top of his head. I'm relatively new to home-buying and he never had any problem holding my hand and making sure I understood what was going on. He is very reachable by phone/text/email and always responds very promptly. He's incredibly friendly and has an awesome sense of humor - and I now own a house that I love thanks to him! read more

I was very new to the home buying process and Bucky led me through each step in a very open and supportive manner. When I was first referred to Bucky, he called me to get an idea of what type of place I wanted and neighborhood I preferred. I didn't know the answer to any of these basic questions. Starting from the scope of all of Chicago, we managed to narrow the search over a couple months, often changing direction. Bucky was very patient and always available to go to a showing during evenings or weekends to work with my travel schedule. Bucky came across and forwarded me the details of the loft I ended up buying before it was even on the market. I'm now very happily in the process of move in! read more

I am glad that I met Bucky as a realtor. He is patient and understanding and if you don't find what you're looking for right away you develop a relationship between him and yourself to a point where you become friends and he senses exactly what you're looking for. I found and purchased a terrific property with his assistance and we will be life long friends as a result of our interactions. I really appreciate all the time and effort he put into helping me find the perfect place! So if you are looking for a great real estate agent Bucky has my vote! Thanks Bucky I hope to see you at Planet Fitness soon but our walking date will have to be postponed until after the move!!! read more

From my first meeting with Bucky, I felt that he listened to what I needed in my housing search, then explained some of the other factors that I should consider, all of which helped me to make some intelligent decisions and get the right property at a price that was fair. Given my crazy work schedule, I never once had to compromise by taking a day (or even an hour) off -- even through the closing process! Bucky always managed to accommodate my schedule and somehow came up with showing times that fit my availability. Bucky helped me to avoid the worst, most stressful scenarios that we all hear about; the property search was actually enjoyable, which is how it should be. read more

My wife Amanda and I had a fantastic experience working with Bucky. He worked very diligently to ensure that we found exactly the right house for the two of us! Bucky was always accessible to us when we had questions, and consistenly came up with great options for us to go and see. He was very professional and thorough with all of his information and insights into the various real estate markets we were exploring. He was in it for one goal - to make us happy. Above it all, Bucky has now become a great friend of ours. We look forward to continuing our friendship with Bucky and would highly recommend him to anyone going through the home buying process! read more

Bucky is super! He is patient, informed and an excellent problem solver. He showed me many properties, even when I asked to see properties in sketchy neighborhoods. He negotiated with a difficult homeowner's association and they make favorable statements about Bucky. He was polite and communicated well with them. The realtor who represented the seller did not lift a finger to assist in this sale. I realize Bucky did not make a significant commission off this sale and feel that he worked as though he would realize a large commission. I would recommend Bucky to anyone searching for properties in the Chicago area. He is a wonderful realtor! read more

Bucky has now represented us a few times with our first purchase and sale of our condo as well as our last and present purchase of our new home. He was diligent, responsive, and best of all really patient with us. As its well known, buying and selling can be a stressful, he walked us through each of the processes giving us a realistic view of what it might take to complete and deal with all the craziness. He always kept our interests first and did everything he possibly could on our behalf. We couldn't be happier with the experience we had with Bucky and absolutely love our new home. read more

Bucky was amazing!!! Finding the right realtor is tough!! We went through 3 previous ones before meeting Bucky. From the moment Bucky became our realtor he LISTENED to what we were looking for, made us a priority, and showed us some really nice houses!! He is very friendly, cares about his clients, and ensures a great experience. He is a very honest realtor, and is very informative. He is very professional and detailed. Everything went smoothly during our home buying! We enjoyed every minute of it! We love our house and thank Bucky for finding it for us!! read more

Bucky was super patient with us as we knew we wanted to look at a LOT of places before making our final forever home decision. He never pushed us into any place or rushed us to make any decisions. He was professional and friendly. I HIGHLY recommend Bucky as anyones realtor. He was an expert in the area and he knew exactly what fit us the best. We are very happy with our decision and cannot thank Bucky enough for his help. If you want a realtor who KNOWS what he's doing, Bucky is the guy! He is excellent!!!! read more

We were first time condo buyers, and we are very happy with the way Bucky led us through the whole process. Living in three hours drive from Chicago, we were not easy clients. Bucky was always willing to adjust his schedule and accommodate to our needs. He was very quick with passing our offers to the other side and getting their reply. He recommended the home inspector and the attorney, and both guys were excellent! The whole buying process went smoothly thanks to Bucky's competence, energy, and friendliness. read more

We are very satisfied with the services of Mr. Bucky Cross from Baird & Warner. Bucky was the best real estate agent that helped us to find a good house. He went an extra mile for us, and in a short time, because of his help and experience , we found the house of our dreams. We are very sure that we will use his good help again without hesitation. Bucky orients and motivates his clients so they can get what they want. Josh & Anna read more
