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.
