A LEADING REAL ESTATE TEAMCHICAGOLAND REAL ESTATE, DONE RIGHT
The Everett Group helps buyers and sellers navigate real estate across Chicago and the Western Suburbs with confidence. We’re ranked among the top 15 teams in Chicago for transaction volume year-to date, and our insatiable ambition leads to exceptional results. Since 2014, we’ve guided clients through more than 800 successful transactions, pairing deep local market knowledge with honest, thoughtful advice.

Whether you need a Chicago real estate agent to list your Lincoln Park condo, a Western Suburbs real estate agent to help you find for a single-family home in Hinsdale, or or guidance anywhere in between, our team is here to help.
Chicago and the Western Suburbs Aren’t One Market. They’re Dozens of Them.
Our team knows the nuances of competitive suburbs like Hinsdale, Clarendon Hills, Western Springs, Burr Ridge, Oak Brook, La Grange, Downers Grove, Naperville, Westmont, Darien, Wheaton, and Glen Ellyn, and the rhythm of Chicago's most sought-after neighborhoods, including Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Bucktown, Logan Square, River North, the Gold Coast, and the West Loop. We know which blocks draw multiple offers, and which ones sell quietly, off-market.
Wherever you're buying or selling in Chicago or the Western Suburbs, we'll give you the context, guidance, and honest advice you need to make a confident decision.
WHY BUYERS CHOOSE THE EVERETT GROUPBuying a Home in Chicago and the Western Suburbs
When you're buying a home, local market knowledge matters. Every neighborhood has its own inventory levels, pricing trends, and competition.
Our proven process, deep market knowledge, and negotiation experience give buyers the guidance and support they need to navigate a home purchase with confidence, from the first showing to closing day.
Unparalleled Guidance and Support for Every Home Buyer
Every search starts with a conversation. We want to understand your timeline, your budget, and what matters most to you. From there, we'll use the MLS, Compass Private Exclusives, and our agent network to help you explore every opportunity, including homes you won't find on a public search.
As you move through the process, we'll explain what you're seeing and what it means: offer negotiation, inspection findings, attorney review, property taxes, and condo documents, so you always know what's next.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
It depends on the neighborhood and price point. Some pockets move fast, others don't. We give you a current, honest read before you start making offers.
-
Yes. In Chicago, sellers rarely take an offer seriously without financing pre-approval. We can connect you with lenders who know the local market.
-
Generally 3–4.5% of the purchase price, covering attorney fees, title insurance, and transfer taxes.
WHY SELLERS CHOOSE THE EVERETT GROUPSelling a Home in Chicago and the Western Suburbs
Across more than 800 transactions, we've seen how thoughtful preparation shapes the outcome of a sale. Before your home goes live, we take the time to understand what makes it unique, study the current market, and build a pricing and marketing strategy designed specifically for your property. From best-in-class photography to distinctly detailed listing descriptions, we love telling the story of every home we list.
Once your home is on the market, we make sure it reaches the right buyers through the MLS, Compass, digital marketing, and our network of agents across Chicago and the Western Suburbs. When it's the right fit, we also use Compass Private Exclusives to introduce your home to buyers before it hits the public market.
What sellers ask us most often:
-
Spring is traditionally the most active season for Chicagoland listings. That said, motivated buyers exist year-round, and well-priced, well-presented homes sell in any month. Local inventory levels matter more than the calendar.
-
We look at recent closed sales, active competition, and days-on-market trends, along with what makes your property unique. That gives us a number grounded in the current market.
-
It depends on the property, but we'll walk you through it: which updates tend to pay off, and which repairs a buyer's inspector is likely to flag anyway. Not every fix is worth the cost, and we'll help you figure out where your money will actually make a difference.
