Casselyn Tertell

Becoming a NAR member was a decision I never second-guessed. I pride myself on my ability to respond quickly and have my clients always feel like a top priority, whether during or after their transaction. I have been in real estate since 2008, have my Managing Brokers license, am an Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR), Certified Negotiation Consultant (CNC), Graduate REALTOR(R) Institute (GRI), Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource Specialist (SFR), Sellers Representative Specialist (SRS), and a Real Estate Divorce Specialist. In 2015, I started The Casselyn Group, a team of like-minded agents and admin to help facilitate our clients even more thoroughly than before. I am also one of the team leaders for the Signature Homes team at Compass, helping assist all of our Signature Homes agents to be the best they can be. I received the National Association of REALTORS(R) 30 Under 30 for 2014 (an honor only given to 30 agents in the country per year), the Five Star Professional award in Chicago Magazine for October 2011 - 2023, Top 500 Real Estate Marketers, the Biltmore Who's a Who award, as well as remaining a consistent top agent in our office. I graduated from The University of Iowa in 2006 with my B.A. in Communication and Business Entrepreneurial Certificate. I was the Coxswain for the Men's Rowing team, as well as helped start the Hawkeye Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Club, all while going to school full time, raising my chocolate (late) lab, Boomer, and working part-time. After my graduation, I eventually moved back to the Chicagoland area, settled in to the suburbs, and met my husband, Brad, all while actively expanding my real estate business. In 2018, Brad and I welcomed our first son, Caleb (CJ), who is a mini-real estate agent in training, and in 2020 we welcomed our 2nd son, Parker, who is definitely a strong negotiator! I am an active member of the Clarendon Hills Infant Welfare, a charitable group of 50 local volunteers who are dedicated to fundraising and supporting the Angel Harvey Family Health Center in Chicago.
