"Michael was amazing to work with! He set up apartment showings for the places I had requested, and also a few other beautiful apartments that he knew I would love from everything I had mentioned in my emails. He was super responsive and scheduled all of the showings back to back on the same day, since I currently live over an hour away. Michael made everything so easy and helped me find and decide on my dream apartment. I would highly recommend this business to anyone looking for their perfect Chicago apartment!" - Taylor

"Worked with Michael S. and he made the entire experience absolutely pain free, smooth and easy! He was super responsive (even responding to my late night questions at midnight) and was always there with an answer or next steps. During our in-person tours, he asked all the right questions, made sure we had all the information we needed and even got us a great deal when we decided on our new home. I would highly recommend him to represent anyone looking for a place in Chicago!" - Christine

"I’ve worked with a couple realtors in the past, but Michael Scavo was hands down the best one. All of the units I saw had all the things that I wanted in an apartment. He was super responsive, professional, helpful, and nice. I would 100% recommend to everyone." - Harin

"Michael made such a stressful process moving from another state to Chicago seem so easy. He was able to find apartments that fit my criteria within hours and immediately set up tours the weekend I traveled to Chicago. He was extremely informative, responsive, prompt, and the perfect liaison between myself and the leasing agents. Moreover he was ultimately the reason I ended up signing a lease at my dream apartment. Michael is by far the best, nicest, and most professional Broker I've worked with and was told the same by Leasing Agents at the buildings we went to. I will definitely be referring friends to Michael in the future, he's awesome." -Rachel

"Michael helped us set up a weekend of apartment tours. He was super patient, knowledgeable, and made sure to stay within our asks without pushing anything on us out of budget! We ultimately found our dream apartment and was approved the next day. Will definitely work with them again should we decided to move. Thanks Michael!" - Lucy

As the President and Founder of The Michael Scavo Group, Michael’s mission is to connect clients with their dream homes while guiding them through Chicago’s most iconic downtown neighborhoods. Although he grew up in the northwestern suburbs, Michael has called downtown Chicago home for years. Now living in Lincoln Park, he loves everything about his neighborhood — from the walkability and incredible restaurants to its effortless access to the rest of the city.

A luxury agent with deep roots in the market, Michael has been actively involved in real estate since he was eighteen years old, beginning his career during his freshman year at DePaul University. What started as a part-time job quickly accelerated into a full-time passion: Michael became a licensed real estate broker at twenty-one and earned his managing broker license at twenty-three, making him one of the youngest managing brokers in Chicago. His early start, extensive knowledge, and approachable style help clients feel both confident and at ease throughout the buying, selling, and leasing process.

Michael’s impact extends far beyond traditional real estate. With over 300,000 collective followers across Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, he has built one of the largest digital audiences of any Chicago real estate professional. His social media presence has led to features in CNN and Chicago REALTOR Magazine, positioning him as a leading voice in the industry. He is also one of the most-followed real estate TikTokers in Chicago, using his platform to educate clients in an engaging, lighthearted, and highly accessible way.

With more than 1,500 career closed transactions, Michael is recognized as a top-producing agent year after year. He has been inducted into the Compass Chicago Legends Society for four consecutive years, an honor reserved for agents at the highest level of production. Additionally, Michael has consistently ranked within the top five Compass Chicago agents for rental transactions. He has also been named to Chicago Agent Magazine’s Who’s Who in Real Estate for three consecutive years.

In 2023, Michael was the number one broker at Onni Fulton Market, closing an impressive 26 deals in the development’s first six months—a testament to his market expertise, negotiation skills, and ability to move inventory quickly.

Despite his accomplishments, one of Michael’s favorite parts of his work remains helping clients find their dream apartments. As he puts it, “Nothing beats seeing the excitement on their faces when they’ve found their new home after a long day of apartment hunting. Sometimes, it’s as simple as seeing them walk in and immediately knowing this is the one. That moment makes everything worth it.”
