Living in Chicago for over 17 years, Olin Eargle, a real estate advisor for @properties Christie’s International Real Estate, has experienced multiple neighborhoods that have given him a great deal of knowledge about the areas he serves. “I’ve lived in six different North Side neighborhoods over the years,” he says. “It taught me a lot about the communities and what each area has to offer.”

Working in sales for nearly all his professional life, he has cultivated a perfectly blended business style of fun and professionalism. Knowing real estate transactions can be a stressful and arduous task, he strives to keep his clients calm and collected through a smooth transaction. “I ensure my clients have fun,” he says. “They learn a lot, but in the end they’re ready to party!”

Candid, relatable and good at listening, he is well-versed in taking over deals from clients who had poor experiences with their past Realtors. Used to rolling with the punches, he has a flexibility that works in tandem with his honest approach to closing deals in the best possible way. “I don’t like to sugarcoat anything, and my clients appreciate that,” he says. “I also do my best to really hear my clients and listen to what they desire.”

His clients appreciate his honest and straightforward business style. Over 80 percent of his business comes from referrals and past clients, one of his proudest professional accomplishments. Additionally, his driven business style has also allowed him to be featured in Chicago Real Producers Magazine as a Top Producer in Chicago, along with an interview with his team.

When not coming to the rescue of new clients and saving their transactions, he enjoys investing in real estate. He co-founded a small development company, and with this team, he enjoys fixing and flipping properties, as well as new construction, which has allowed him both to grow as both a Realtor and to further grow his footprint in Chicago’s real estate market.
