Conlon was raised in Rathangan, County Kildare, Ireland, in a modest home; his parents struggled financially, with the bank at one point trying to repossess their house. Before emigrating to America in 1990, Conlon attended the College of Marketing and Design, Dublin and worked in London as a credit analyst, a job he disliked, and living in a "hovel that sat near the railroad tracks", with ten other men.

Since 2002, Conlon has been a partner of Van & Conlon. In 2004, in partnership with others, he acquired Near North National Title, which was established in 1988 and processes billions of dollars in US real estate transactions each year. He sold Near North in February 2010. In 2005, Sean founded Connaught Real Estate Finance, a $100 million mezzanine fund that lends money to developers.
In 2009, he returned to residential real estate brokerage. In June 2013, Conlon became affiliated with one of the world’s real estate networks, Christie’s International Real Estate. Conlon is the Christie’s exclusive affiliate in Chicago.

Personal life
A "short marriage" was amicably dissolved early in Conlon's business career due to his "100-hour work weeks" and lack of time for a relationship.
