Common questions
How much do you charge to sell a home in Chicago?
It is not one-size-fits-all. Commission is agreed together, in writing, before anything is signed - there are no other fees, and you can cancel anytime at no cost. Photos, Matterport, video, and a staging consult are included on every listing.
Who pays the buyer's agent commission?
Buyers sign a buyer agency agreement with a commission agreed up front - and often the seller covers it. Commissions are negotiable and memorialized in writing before you sign.
What is my Chicago home worth?
We run comps by hand from recent sales on your block and return a real number within the hour, 8am-8pm, from just your address. No obligation.
How long does buying a home in Chicago take?
Roughly 2-4 months first call to keys: pre-approval (1-2 weeks), touring (2-6 weeks), offer and attorney review, inspection (7-10 days), appraisal and financing (2-3 weeks), then clear to close.
How many homes has the team sold?
Over 1,500 homes and $862.5M in lifetime volume, with about $220M closed in the last 12 months - a top 1% team in Illinois at Compass Chicago.
What neighborhoods do you cover?
All of Chicago and the near suburbs, with deep experience in Lincoln Park, Logan Square, Wicker Park, Bucktown, West Loop, Lakeview, and the lakefront. With 24 agents across the city, someone on the team knows your block.
Do I need a real estate attorney in Chicago?
Yes. Illinois contracts include a 5-business-day attorney review period, and virtually every Chicago deal closes with attorneys on both sides. We connect you with trusted local attorneys on every transaction.
