About Me

m Jay Butts—an Illinois real estate professional who’s deeply embedded in the market and even more committed to the people behind every move. I’m also a husband, a son, and a proud father of three, and that perspective shapes how I show up: with integrity, patience, and a protect-the-family mindset in every decision.

As a million-dollar agent, my work and results have been recognized in The Real Deal, The Wall Street Journal, and Crain’s Chicago Business—and I’m proud to have helped set the record for the most expensive home ever sold on the South Side of Chicago.

What drives my business isn’t hype—it’s relationships. I’m a relationship-first, strategy-driven advisor who believes great outcomes come from trust, clarity, and strong execution. Whether you’re selling, buying, or building a long-term plan, you’ll get direct guidance, confident negotiation, and a partner who treats your goals like the mission.
