About Bridget

Bridget Gricus fine-tuned her real estate expertise working for a construction company and a law firm, but the true foundation was laid growing up one of 12 children in the Irish countryside where "negotiation and communication were necessary for survival! As I look back, my whole life has been directed research for success in real estate."  Bridget took a leap of faith into real estate 15 years ago, as a working mother of two little children. "A perfect storm was gathering in me. Sometimes my children had breakfast, lunch and dinner without me. I wanted a professional life but also wanted precious time with my children."  In addition, as a young girl, Bridget had big dreams of making it in America, with its limitless opportunity. She knew she was ready to lift the ceiling off her potential and start her own business.  The time was right, she took the plunge and has never looked back!  As her multiple awards and accolades show, Bridget has soared in the fast-paced, cut and thrust world of real estate. She is as comfortable handling million dollar dream properties as she is with starter homes. Bridget's clients appreciate her unique combination of street smarts, soft skills and Irish charm.  They become raving fans, referring her to family, neighbors and friends, in ever-increasing circles.  Bridget attributes her success above all to the pure love she shows her clients through the intricate process of buying or selling property. "I take what can be a daunting experience and make it manageable, even enjoyable. There are many players in a real estate transaction; agents, attorneys, inspectors, appraisers, lenders, surveyors, title examiners etc.  The demands can be overwhelming for clients, already unsettled with a major life change. My job is to carry that weight so my clients do not have to."  Bridget's superpower? " It's not what you might think. Honestly, I owe my success to a God-given instinct for human vulnerability. I know when someone needs their hand held their tears dried, their fears eased. My clients know they can trust me with the contract, deadlines and their bottom line. But, more importantly, they trust me with their life situation and feel safe in my hands. That is what I am most proud of and why clients become friends for life.  Bridget is also proud of the respect she has earned in the circles of high producing real estate brokers. She attributes brilliant relationships and successful collaborations with her peers to her abundant, non-competitive approach. "The world is made up of real estate. There is enough business for everyone!"  Those tiny boys that inspired Bridget's career in Real Estate?  They are now avid high school soccer players so Bridget spends a lot of time on bleachers and in stadiums. She also donates time to her favorite shelter, "One Tail at a Time', from which she adopted her family beagle, ‘Bailey'.  Bridget has always loved to dance and is currently brushing up her country line dancing. She has previously taken ballroom, belly dance and English country dancing classes. Bridget's love of formation dance came from watching her parents dance and the joy they shared in each other. "My mother used to say, with mild annoyance, ‘your father thinks everything should end with a dance'. I decided early this too would be my life philosophy."  Bridget's approach to her family, friends, clients, peers and social causes can be summed up in her favorite quote from Zig Ziglar:  "You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want."

The best of the best

I can't say enough good things about Bridget. She listened to what we were looking for and found us the perfect house. Stayed with us every step of the way, advising us and making sure everything went smoothly. I would use her again in a heartbeat and would recommend her to anyone who ask.

Simply stellar!! Highly recommend Bridget!

Bridget’s high- energy yet empathetic approach helped me navigate the emotional process of quickly readying and selling my Mother’s house. Full service, her network of tradesmen jumped to help us when she called them, enabling us to preempt small problems from escalating. Our sale was complicated unnecessarily by a Trust Attorney and in clutch time Bridget marshaled the process herself on my behalf to close on time. We closed over- asking price on the 5th contract. Bridget understands legal and municipal issues and is a talented intermediary. She naturally builds relationships across all stakeholders which is clearly key to her success as a negotiator. That said, she was a proactive (and candid!) advocate for my interests and I relied heavily on her insights and advice throughout. She is amazing. Full stop. I recommend her wholeheartedly!

Knowledge & nice to work with

Bridget was nice to work with! She’s super friendly and kind but don’t let that fool you — she knows when to get tough! Both my spouse and I were incredibly far apart on what we wanted, but she listened and found options for both of us (kudos, Bridget, for putting up with our indecisiveness and disagreements), while giving us her honest feedback on everything. We looked at dozens of houses and she was more than happy to get us into any house we wanted to see. In this market, it’s normal to have to view several homes since they sell so quickly, but having an agent who is ready when you are is probably the most important element to the whole process. We crisscrossed all over DuPage County and eventually found a home that fits our current needs. Once we decided to move forward with the house we now have, she got to work right away by writing the offer and working with the seller’s agent to get our offer noticed given that it was a multiple offer situation. We thank her for a nice experience as first time homebuyers. 😊

Crème de la crème

Bridget went above and beyond while helping me find my dream home. In a vicious market as a buyer, she helped me stay grounded and helped me find the best home possible for myself and my son. She truly cared about our future in the home and shared her honest opinions and expertise throughout the whole home buying experience. She is now not just my realtor but also a friend to both of us. I cannot recommend her enough.
