Illinois Real Estate and Relocation
Connecticut Real Estate is expanding its national network through our new Relocation Division, and Illinois is one of the key states where we’re establishing a strong presence. This division is designed to make moving, buying, or selling property across state lines seamless and efficient. We proudly service the 13 states that offer reciprocity with Connecticut real estate brokers, including Illinois, Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Rhode Island.
With over 30 years of real estate, construction, and relocation experience, Steve Schappert, The Connecticut Real Estate Broker, brings a proven record of success and leadership to this national expansion. Schappert previously operated one of the most successful relocation companies in the region for more than a decade—assisting as many as 550 families per month. His expertise and commitment to personalized service led Woman’s Day Magazine to interview and recommend him and his company, Buyers Trust, to readers all over the world. That kind of recognition is rare in real estate—and it’s a testament to the credibility, care, and results that Steve consistently delivers.
Now, with the Illinois Relocation Division, we are taking that same passion for client service and combining it with a strategic, modern approach to real estate growth. Our mission is to create a trusted network of top-performing agents who are committed to integrity, education, and innovation. By partnering with the best in Illinois, we can ensure that buyers, sellers, and investors receive the same high-quality experience that Connecticut clients have come to expect.
Building a National Real Estate Network
Our long-term vision is simple but ambitious—to open brokerages in every reciprocity state, creating a powerful and interconnected network of real estate professionals who can serve clients nationally and even internationally. The plan begins with Massachusetts and Rhode Island, both slated for launch in 2021, followed by Florida and Illinois. While the global pandemic delayed some of our original timelines, it also allowed us to refine our business model, enhance our digital platforms, and strengthen our virtual service capabilities.
Now, we’re emerging stronger than ever, with systems designed for scalability and long-term success. We’re not just building offices—we’re building communities of professionals who share a vision for growth, ethics, and client-focused service.
Why Illinois?
Illinois is a dynamic market filled with diverse real estate opportunities. From Chicago’s urban luxury and investment properties to the family neighborhoods and rural retreats throughout the state, Illinois represents an ideal hub for relocation clients. Its central location and strong economy make it a natural bridge between East Coast, Midwest, and Southern markets.
By establishing a presence here, Connecticut Real Estate aims to connect Illinois agents and clients to a broader ecosystem of real estate services—everything from relocation management, property investment, commercial leasing, and residential development to innovative new programs like BIOS Homes, our modular housing initiative that merges sustainability, affordability, and smart technology.
Opportunities for Illinois Agents
We are now recruiting experienced, driven Illinois real estate agents and brokers who want to grow their careers while being part of a forward-thinking, rapidly expanding network. As part of our team, agents gain access to:
-
A national referral system across 13 states (and growing).
-
High-quality relocation leads from clients moving in and out of Illinois.
-
Comprehensive training in relocation, marketing, and branding.
-
Strategic partnerships through BIOS Homes and affiliated service divisions.

A Commitment to Innovation and Service
Technology has changed the way we buy and sell homes, and Connecticut Real Estate is at the forefront of that change. Our relocation division uses digital marketing, virtual showings, remote closings, and AI-powered lead systems to streamline transactions and reach clients where they are. We also focus on sustainability and energy efficiency, aligning with the values of modern buyers who want smarter, greener, and more affordable housing solutions.
As we grow in Illinois, our commitment is to combine local expertise with national reach. Whether a client is relocating to Chicago for work, selling their home in Springfield, or investing in Lake County, our team ensures a smooth transition—supported by experienced professionals who understand both local market trends and the broader real estate landscape.
The Future of Real Estate Starts Here
Connecticut Real Estate isn’t just opening offices—we’re redefining what a real estate network can be. Through our collaboration with BIOS and our dedication to innovation, education, and community building, we’re setting the stage for something much larger than traditional real estate brokerage.
