Real Estate Broker

The Evan Group is growing, and we're looking for a driven, client-first real estate broker to join our team. This is a great fit for someone early in their real estate career — or coming from another client-facing field — who wants structure, mentorship, and a team around them instead of building a book of business alone.

About The Evan Group

What You’ll Do

• Manage buyer and seller relationships from first conversation through closing
• Host showings and open houses across our Northwest Suburbs and North Shore coverage area
• Prospect and generate new business through your sphere of influence, referrals, and team-provided leads
• Prepare comparative market analyses and help clients price and position their homes
• Negotiate offers and manage contracts through inspection, appraisal, and closing
• Keep clients informed at every step — proactively, not just when asked
• Coordinate with the team's marketing and transaction support to stay focused on clients, not paperwork
• Stay current on local inventory, pricing trends, and neighborhood knowledge across the coverage area

What We’re Looking For

• Active Illinois Real Estate Broker license, or actively pursuing licensure
• Bachelor's degree required
• 1–3 years of professional experience (real estate experience preferred, but a strong record in another client-facing or sales role will be considered)
• Reliable transportation and the flexibility to show homes evenings and weekends
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Comfortable learning and working in CRM, MLS, and e-signature tools
• A valid driver's license and the ability to travel throughout the Chicagoland service area

What a Great Evan Group Broker Looks Like

Beyond the resume — this is the mindset and day-to-day behavior we’re looking for:

• Responsive by instinct — a client or teammate text doesn't sit for hours; urgency is a habit, not an exception.
• Proactive, not reactive — follows up before being asked, flags a problem before it becomes one, and treats "I'll circle back" as a promise, not a placeholder.
• Prepared, every time — walks into a showing or listing appointment already knowing the comps, the neighborhood, and the questions the client is likely to ask.
• Honest even when it's inconvenient — tells a client the market truth, not just what they want to hear, because trust is the actual product.
• Genuinely curious about people — asks real questions and listens before pitching; treats each client's situation as specific to them, not a script.
• Detail-obsessed — dates, contingencies, and disclosures don't slip, because a missed deadline is a client's stress, not just a broker's mistake.
• Resilient — treats a slow week or a lost deal as part of the job, not a verdict, and gets back to prospecting the next day.
• Coachable — takes feedback from more experienced teammates and actually applies it, instead of defending the first way they tried something.
• Team-first — shares a lead or an opportunity when it's a better fit for a teammate, and shows up for the group's wins the same way they show up for their own.
• Always learning — keeps studying the market, the contracts, and the craft well past the day they got licensed.
