So You Want to Buy a Condo

“Wait, so HOW much do I need for a down payment on a condo in Chicago? What happens at a home inspection? How long does the buying process take?"

The goal of "So You Want to Buy a Condo" is to answer questions like these, bringing some free education, value, & certainty to those who might be considering a condo purchase, either now or in the future.

This laid-back, top-rated live webinar (with Q&A!) is for anyone who has ever wondered about purchasing a home. We (Melanie Everett of Melanie Everett & Company & Chris Kinsella of Guaranteed Rate) will explain how to apply for a mortgage, when to begin searching for the right place, what happens once you make an offer, & how to navigate common pitfalls.

Since 2015, we have taught thousands of first-time homebuyers how to navigate the process. Pre-pandemic, we taught this course once a month at WeWork. In addition, we have been to some pretty cool Chicago companies, like Uber, Deloitte, Salesforce, Grubhub, Glassdoor, PwC, Slalom, Yello, Aon, EY, Jenner & Block, Sprout Social, Morningstar, Hyatt, SpotHero, Havas, Level Office, mcgarrybowen, NCSA, & dozens more.

    This is a zero-pressure zone! While we'd love to work with you, there are no expectations here. If you're nervous about buying, this is a safe place to ask questions.

  • You're looking for something other than a condo
