The Oertel Group

The Oertel Group sets a new standard for creativity and excellence from the Chicago to the North Shore real estate landscape. Led by John Oertel, this powerhouse collective goes above and beyond to exceed every client's unique goals.

Known for thorough neighborhood knowledge and seemingly endless patience, John is a tenacious negotiator and tirelessly advocates for his clients and their homes. He listens carefully, provides honest feedback and empowers buyers and sellers to make confident, well-informed choices throughout the process and beyond. "John's clients know he is there for them 100 percent. They know they can trust him to guide them and help them make the best decision when it comes to buying, selling or investing."

That hands-on guidance is enhanced by personal experience in renovating and flipping homes and creative marketing and promotions — including open house food trucks and client appreciation parties with elite wineries and chefs are just few ways The Oertel Group stands out from others in their industry. John sets the bar high when it comes to representing clients and their properties, offering a true full-service sales and marketing team.

In addition to their real estate work, John is committed to supporting the Chicago & North Shore communities. You will often find them volunteering on local boards and sponsoring local events.
