Chicago REALTORS® Kelly Carlson and Caira Button didn’t plan to have real estate careers, but they wouldn’t dream of giving them up now.

Several months ago, Carlson, of Engel & Völkers Chicago, and Button, of Compass Chicago, were named to REALTOR® Magazine’s 30 Under 30 Class. They share their unique experiences in an Illinois REALTORS® podcast.

Can you guess which one created her own social media business and which one worked as an engineering consultant before considering the switch to residential real estate sales? Which one received so much support from her colleagues that she won the Web Choice Award?

Both became REALTORS® in 2022, love their careers, owe their success to generous colleagues and mentors and look forward to the future.
