About Hadley

A Chicagoland native and member of the National Association of Realtors and the Illinois Institute of Real Estate Management, Hadley Rue is an accomplished real estate professional known for his cutting-edge strategies, tenacity, and positive energy. At the core of Hadley’s ethos is his commitment to building strong and enduring client relationships. He recognizes that the most rewarding aspect of his work lies in the satisfaction of those he serves. By prioritizing his client’s needs and championing values like integrity and hard work, Hadley ensures that each transaction is a seamless journey where every detail has been met. 

Hadley’s own professional journey is rooted in his passion for real estate, cultivated through years of owning and strategically selling multiple properties. This hands-on experience has equipped him with a deep understanding of what it means to be on each side of the table, allowing him to empathize with both buyers and sellers on a level that goes beyond the transactional.  

Born and raised in the Western Suburbs, Hadley is currently a North Side resident where he has lived in the Edgewater/Andersonville neighborhood for nearly 20 years. His previous career at a private foundation on the North Shore helped familiarize him with area, and he later added one of the largest real estate transactions in the North Shore & Cook County to his list of sales. Beyond his real estate career, Hadley is actively engaged in his community and serves on several non-profit boards. Hadley’s commitment to excellence extends beyond serving his clients: His tenure on several condominium boards, including board president for ten years, gives him a strong understanding of the importance of healthy operating associations and sound investments. 

A visionary trailblazer, Hadley has consistently exceeded goals within the company while being recognized for success in the larger Chicagoland real estate landscape. Most recently, he achieved the remarkable accomplishment of being recognized as Dream Town’s #1 individual broker in 2024 – making it the fifth year he’s received that designation (2018, 2021–2024) and #1 individual at the Lincoln Square office for 7 years running (2018-2024). His track record as a “Top Producer” for both Dream Town and the Chicago Association for Realtors every year from 2017 to 2024, along with recognition as a Five Star Real Estate Professional attests to his unwavering passion, unparalleled work ethic, and commitment to building rapport with his clients. Recognition in prestigious publications such as Chicago Agent Magazine’s “Who’s Who in Chicago Real Estate” (2017-2018, 2020-2024), Crain’s Chicago Business Most Notable Residential Realtors (2018, 2019), and Chicago Real Producers Magazine (2021) further underline the industry impact he has had across his career. 
 
Hadley’s colleagues affectionately attribute to him the catchphrase, “Rue Can Do!” – encapsulating the cutting-edge approach and tenacity that have come to define his very successful real estate career.

    Hands Down An All Around Great Realtor!

    We recently worked with Hadley to sell two places and purchase our new home. It was not an easy landscape to navigate, especially on the seller front, but Hadley made the process as smooth as it could have been from listing to closing, and beyond. He answered every frantic text, call, and email, helped us re-strategize as needed, and made sure to personally be at every showing and appointment. For each transaction, he walked us through all the expected steps and made sure that everything was buttoned up to the T so that there were no delays or issues. Even for things Hadley didn’t have to do, he was always willing to help out to take the burden off of us. And once all was done and we were settled into our new home, Hadley still remained available and eager to help us with some extraneous issues. Hadley has a passion for what he does and it shows. He makes you feel like you’re the only and most important client, and goes above and beyond. And on a personal level, Hadley is a sincere pleasure to work with and a joy to be around. Overall, I would highly recommend Hadley to anyone looking for a realtor. – Paulina Starostka
