Classes for buyers, sellers, & everyone in between

Melanie Everett & Company offers complimentary classes & events for everyone: first-time home buyers, first-time sellers, fellow agents, our clients, & more.

We started teaching our signature first-time homebuyer class, So You Want to Buy a Condo, in 2015. It’s our most-attended offering, with 4,000 guests & counting. Since then, we’ve added So You Want to Sell a Condo, So You Want to Move to the Suburbs, & more.

Experience our past events

Over the years, we’ve brought our signature SYWTBAC class to corporate offices (like Deloitte, GrubHub, & Uber), social groups (like Chicago Girls Who Walk), & the public (at cool locations across the city, like Anthropologie, Dom’s Kitchen + Market, & Tuco & Blondie).

  • The Robey

    We were thrilled to partner with local social group Chicago Girls Who Walk to teach a private class to their members.

  • Dom's Kitchen + Market

    We’re big fans of Dom’s (a coffee shop & wine bar in a grocery store? Count us in!) & we’ve had the pleasure of teaching here 2x!

  • Anthropologie

    Teaching at the iconic Chicago Ave location was a total dream. We had a blast collaborating with Anthropologie Home to bring this event to life!

  • WeWork

    WeWork is where SYWTBAC got its traction! We’ve taught many classes at the many WeWork locations around the city.
