Bo Buchanan’s Summary
I am a REALTOR in the greater Far Western Suburbs of Chicago. I cover Oswego-Aurora-Naperville-Plainfield and surrounding areas. I also run Blue60.com - a directory of resources for real estate professionals. My passion has always been in the media and technology and now I am able to combine those interests with the world of Real Estate.
When I first began working in Real Estate, I saw the boom occuring in and around the Oswego area. I chose to work with Kettley Realtors because I admired the honesty and dedication of the company founder, Ed Kettley. I continue to enjoy working for Kettley Realtors and I am an avid proponent of Real Estate as an investment vehicle (my first home was a four flat in Chicago!).
Shortly after becoming a Realtor I saw a need for some sort of resource to help Real Estate Professionals find tools, professionals and resources to run their business. I founded Blue60 in 2003 out of my own desire to find real estate tools on the internet. If you are a Real Estate Professional looking for resources to help you with marketing, lead generation, websites or anything else - check out the Blue60.com directory.
