The OPPO Team
Brian O’Connell and Joe Peterchak, Principals
Just like the homes they build together, Brian and Joe’s partnership is also founded in quality. Friends for decades, both have lived in the western suburbs of Chicago for many years, where they take pride in their relationships with the community.
They have 35 years of combined commercial and residential real estate experience including renovations, custom builds, property management, and own a substantial portfolio of real estate assets. Their eye for the real estate market and Joe’s expertise as a licensed Illinois real estate broker leads them to select homes that balance location and value. Their long-term affiliations with trade specialists and suppliers allows OPPO the ability to provide their clients with the best workmanship possible at the fairest prices.
