The Sheahan Group
Real Estate Agents in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 April 2013
“I have worked with Rene Dombrowski of The Sheahan Group on several occasions. She demonstrated outstanding professionalism, enthusiasm, excellent organizational and marketing skills, and had a keen awareness of the market each time we did business together. I have used her services for buying and selling, as well as property management. She has a breadth and depth of knowledge unusual for her years, and handles challenging negotiations with precision and delicacy. In addition to her own skill set, she possesses a network of valuable referrals to ancillary services such as attorneys, finance, inspectors and tradespersons. In sum, I recommend both Rene Dombrowski, and her colleagues at The Sheahan Group most highly. It is a pleasure doing business with them.”
Wendy Berg - Baird & Warner
Real Estate Agents in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 July 2016
“Wendy has been very helpful and available. It has taken us a long time to figure out what we want, but she has been very patient and not pushy which was very refreshing. She is very knowledgable in renovations and has great design ideas which was useful. While we still haven't found the right home in Chicago she was great to refer us to great agents to sell our Michigan home and also purchase a new one in Florda recently. Thank you for your continued help.”

Leslie Glazier @ Properties
Real Estate Agents in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 September 2013
“Leslie has helped me both sell my home & purchase a new home - and now we are gearing up to list our current home. The process with Leslie is seamless. She sold our last home without it even being listed - just through her vast contacts! She knew how to price and market it! The same goes for our home that we previously purchased - she found it for us before it went on the market. Leslie has superior knowledge of the real estate market & her connections were priceless. Beyond this, she is kind, honest & attentive. I simply can't recommend her enough!”

A property sale in Chicago, IL can be a tense, thrilling, and exhausting experience - often all at once! One thing you can be sure of, a successful home purchase or sale nearly always starts with a good real estate agent or broker.

Real Estate is a complex and dynamic area of work that demands experts to stay informed about rules and regulations as well as the Chicago, IL market. As you can imagine, agents and brokers vary as much as the properties they sell. You'll need to be as savvy in selecting a realtor as they are in getting you the best price.

What Does an Agent or Broker Do?


Although the terms “agent” and “broker” often are used interchangeably, they’re not the same thing. Generally, a broker must have more specialised education as well as licensing, and as a result is legally authorised to execute a real estate transaction. Brokers usually play a more administrative role in the real estate process. An agent, by contrast, is a salesperson hired by a broker to interact with and handle the legwork for the clients.

When you're looking to buy a home, a buyer’s agent represents a home buyer or seller in a real estate transaction. A buyer’s agent will find 60647 property listings that match your needs, works with the seller’s agent to schedule showings and accompanies you on visits to tour the home. If you’re interested in the house, the agent handles price negotiations and other terms of the sale, and coordinates the appropriate paperwork.

If you are engaged in a home sale, a seller’s agent will help you determine a listing price for a Chicago, IL property and can suggest repairs, upgrades and staging ideas to boost the home’s appeal. He or she is in charge of marketing the house to prospective buyers and other agents through signage, websites, print ads, open houses and other methods. As with a buyer’s agent, a seller’s agent represents you in negotiating the sale.

Questions to ask a prospective agent or broker:


  • How long have you been in the business?
  • How long have you worked in this area?
  • Do you work full time or part time in this business?
  • Do you represent buyers or sellers exclusively, or both?
  • What are your professional affiliations?
  • For sellers: How will you market my home?
  • For buyers: How will you find homes that might interest me?
  • Have you had recent sales in the neighborhoods that I might interested in?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • What license(s) do you have?
  • How do you charge?
  • What do your services include?
  • Will I be working with anyone else?
