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® 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® 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.
