I’m Megan Sullivan, a Chicago real estate agent with Compass and the founder of The Divorce Collab. After navigating my own divorce, I realized how overwhelming it is to make decisions about the marital home while juggling emotions, finances, and legal timelines. That experience shaped the work I do today.

Blending years of real estate expertise with specialized divorce training, including my RCS-D and CDS designations, I help clients avoid costly mistakes and understand their true options. I serve as a neutral guide, bringing clarity to valuations, refinancing realities, settlement language, and long-term housing planning.

Through The Divorce Collab, I connect clients with trusted divorce attorneys, CDFAs, CDLPs, therapists, and coaches so they never have to navigate this alone. Whether you’re exploring your options or preparing for mediation, I’m here to help you make informed, confident decisions about your home and your future.
