Working tirelessly until her buyers and sellers are satisfied, Dale Stackler has got her clients’ backs. “I’m addicted to real estate,” says Stackler, a broker with @properties Christie’s International Real Estate. Specializing in everything from luxury properties to starter homes and condos, Stackler works to exceed expectations by anticipating and executing on her clients’ needs. “I try to make the process easy for my clients,” she says, adding that after 10 years of professional industry experience, as well as decades spent buying and selling properties to grow her own investment portfolio, she’s an expert in Chicago’s residential market.

Prior to earning her real estate license, Stackler spent more than 30 years in advertising, first as an art director and then a creative director. “My time in advertising helped me a great deal,” explains Stackler. “Coming from this type of background where I focused on branding, design, photography direction and oversaw a client’s vision made me well equipped to understand the marketing of selling homes. My corporate experience gave me my work ethic.”

In 2017, after doing $13 million in sales, Stackler was inaugurated into @properties Road to Rolex. She is a volunteer at Paws Chicago and loves playing golf. “There is something about being outside and focusing on a little white ball that makes everything seem OK,” she explains.
