Patrick O'Dwyer

Patrick O’Dwyer, founder of The O'Dwyer Group, is a top-producing real estate broker & remodeling contractor specializing in multi-family units, luxury condos, single-family homes, apartment complex leasing & property portfolio management throughout the city of Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.

As a native of Ireland, Patrick grew up working for his family-owned business specializing in real estate development and mechanical engineering services. That is where Patrick’s love for real estate first began. After studying computer engineering at Carlow University, Patrick spent several years in London working in sales and marketing before moving to Chicago to follow his real estate passion in 2008. Patrick began his career as a real estate broker learning American real estate & property development while working with Matt Garrison, founder of the Matt Garrison Group & R2 Companies.

For the past ten consecutive years, Patrick has been recognized as a Chicago Association of REALTORS® Top Producer. In addition, he received the 2020 Outstanding Rental Achievement Award, 2019 Platinum Rental Award & 2017 Gold Rental Award. As a real estate broker, Patrick also received the award for the Top 250 Closed Volume, Top 250 Agents in Closed Units, Top 250 Gross Commission Income in 2017, along with the 2017 Top Independent Sales Associates & Team for Units. Additionally, in 2018 NRT ranked The O'Dwyer Group #3 team in North America for rental income.
After Patrick launched his own real estate group & remodeling company in 2013, the first task was to create the brand for his companies. For Patrick, this came simple. As a clear commitment to his heritage and family, he developed a company emblem that honored the rich history of his name - a reflection of the O'Dwyer family crest. The crest's symbolic and powerful design motivates Patrick's hard work and perseverance each and every day.

Patrick also offers his clients extensive condominium association knowledge from voluntary serving on the board of directors for multiple condo buildings, including over ten years at 1400 N. Lake Shore Drive, a 22-story high rise that sold as a deconversion to apartments in November 2019 for 106 million dollars. During the recession years, Patrick additionally proved his worth by brokering the sale for more than 100 plus condominiums – equating to over $25 million in sales – for a 300-plus high-rise building located in the world-famous Chicago Gold Coast neighborhood.
