CONLON: A REAL ESTATE COMPANY/CHRISTIE’S INTERNATIONAL REAL ESTATETHE BRAND THAT DEFINES LUXURY REAL ESTATE. WORLDWIDE.

In the spring of 2009, Sean Conlon, along with partners Benjie Burford, Rich Kasper and Tim Sheahan, brought together a team of top performing Chicago real estate agents to form the boutique brokerage, CONLON: A Real Estate Company (CONLON). The success CONLON has had during one of the worst economic times in decades was quickly noticed by both clients and peers.

CONLON has become Chicago’s number one boutique real estate brokerage by focusing on their clients through a culture of professionalism and market leadership. Our broker team is comprised of nearly 200 hand-selected agents with an average of over 11 years of experience each. They have the marketing and negotiating skills that produce the highest rates of success in arranging transactions for their clients. With four strategically placed offices in Chicago’s Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, Roscoe

Village and West Loop neighborhoods, CONLON readily serves all of Chicago and beyond. As one of the top brokerage firms in Chicago, the CONLON team never forgets that buying or selling a home is quintessentially one of the most important life decisions someone will make both personally and financially. Most recently, CONLON, along with commercial real estate veteran Steve Horvath, launched CONLON Commercial in 2012 which focuses on servicing clients’ commercial real estate needs in development, industrial, office and retail.

We continue to be one of Chicago’s fastest growing brokerages through our recent, exclusive affiliation with Christie’s International Real Estate (CIRE) which brings an unprecedented global reach for a Chicago brokerage along with a unique ability to service Chicago’s luxury residential market.

It is no surprise that the internet is the #1 resource where buyers are looking for their homes. In 2012 (the most recent survey), eight in 10 buyers searched online when looking for a home. for 41% of those homebuyers, searching the internet was their initial step in the home searching process. for these reasons, CONLON has invested its largest portion of marketing dollars into making your listing available where potential buyers are looking — ONLINE.

By listing your home with the area’s multiple listing service (MLS), we are able to share extensive information about your home with other brokers and online portals. In addition, our online partnership with the nation’s leading online

real estate marketing network has the potential to syndicate listings to 116 participating publishers reaching homebuyers on more than 800 websites.

Included websites where your listing will be found are the three largest real estate search engines: Trulia.com, zillow.com and Realtor.com. Second to the MLS, these three powerful real estate portals make up majority of online home searches. for this reason, CONLON invests additional marketing money to enhance and upgrade our listings on these sites.
