Editorial context
Working with a provider in Chicago – what matters
When choosing a real estate agent in Chicago, experience in the specific local market should be a priority. Buying a condo in a city neighborhood and searching for a single-family home in a western suburb can involve different considerations around location, comparable properties and timing. Because The Everett Group serves both areas, prospective clients should ask about recent experience in their preferred neighborhood, price range and property type.
Buyers should establish their budget, financing, schedule and essential property requirements before starting a search. For condos, ongoing association costs, available association documents and building condition deserve attention alongside the purchase price. The website identifies inspection findings, property taxes and condo documents as topics covered during the buying process. An initial conversation should clarify what the team explains and when other professionals may be needed.
Sellers should request a clear plan for pricing, preparation, presentation and launch timing. Given the provider’s emphasis on design-focused marketing, it is worth asking which specific activities are included and which may involve additional costs. Responsibilities, communication arrangements and compensation should also be documented transparently before engagement.
Access to Compass Private Exclusives may supplement a search, but should not replace comparisons with publicly listed properties. Reviews offer insight into other clients’ experiences; a selected group of positive reviews cannot reliably predict an individual transaction’s outcome. These points provide general guidance, not legal advice.

Working with Courtney and everyone at the Everett Group was an amazing experience! As first-time homebuyers, we really appreciated the time Courtney took upfront to explain the entire process and understand exactly what we were looking for. She was always available to answer questions and help with offers and negotiations, no matter the day or time. Courtney taught us so much about what to look for during showings and how to navigate the competitive market which gave us a lot of confidence throughout the home-buying process. By the time we found our home, we felt informed and comfortable making such an important decision. Courtney and Sarah were also incredibly helpful during the closing process, which went very smoothly. They provided a ton of helpful resources about both the buying process and home ownership. We could not recommend Courtney and the Everett Group more!
When I first moved back to the country, buying a condo in an unfamiliar neighborhood felt daunting but Caitlin was nothing short of a dream broker. With an impeccable eye for detail and style, she guided me seamlessly into what became one of the best neighborhoods in Chicago. When it came time to sell, returning to Caitlin and partnering with Melanie was a complete no-brainer. A true local expert with a bespoke approach and phenomenal aesthetic sensibility, Melanie, together with Caitlin, crafted a smart, strategic plan and walked me through every option with clarity and care. I felt genuinely heard, fiercely advocated for, and supported every step of the way. In an incredibly saturated real estate market, The Everett Group truly stands apart. Five stars, without hesitation.
I had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Courtney and The Everett Group. Selling my home was a big transition, and Courtney was incredible every step of the way. She is knowledgeable, responsive, organized, and genuinely cares about her clients. What I appreciated most was how well she managed my anxiety throughout the process. Anytime I had questions, concerns, or moments of stress, Courtney was patient, reassuring, and always made me feel supported. She has a calm confidence that helped me trust the process and feel comfortable during what could have been a very overwhelming experience. Thanks to Courtney's expertise and guidance, everything went smoothly, and I always felt like she had my best interests at heart. I am so grateful for all of her hard work and would highly recommend Courtney and The Everett Group to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you for hel
We had the best experience working with Melanie and her team! As first-time sellers, they made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. They were professional, organized and always made sure we knew exactly what needed to happen next which is something we appreciated so much while juggling a busy season of life. We trusted Melanie’s expertise every step of the way and it absolutely paid off. Her guidance and marketing strategy helped us receive multiple offers over asking and we couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. We would recommend The Everett Group to anyone!
This was our family's third time working with The Everett Group and we cannot recommend them enough. Melanie and team managed every single detail of selling our condo flawlessly. The went above and beyond to connect us with resources to prepare to list the property, provided strategic pricing and timing guidance, and were a sounding board more times than we can count. Any buyer or seller would be lucky to partner with TEG!

Services in this field explained
A valuation estimates the price a property can achieve on the market, based on location, condition, size, fittings and comparable sales.
What does a valuation cost? Many agents offer an initial estimate free of charge. A formal market value report by a certified surveyor is paid; the fee depends on the property and effort.
When you sell, an agent handles valuation, exposé, viewings, negotiation and the notary appointment.
Who pays the agent's commission? When flats and single-family houses are sold to consumers, the commission is generally split between seller and buyer (§ 656c German Civil Code).
When letting, an agent takes care of listing, viewings, tenant selection and the tenancy agreement.
Who pays the agent when letting? Since 2015 the “orderer pays” principle applies to residential lettings: usually the landlord pays when they hired the agent.
