Local Business Champion: Christine Oleynick Real Estate
Meet the amazing Christine Oleynick!
Why did you decide to go into real estate?
My transition into real estate was a natural evolution from my extensive background in advertising, marketing, and sales. I realized I could combine my passion for marketing and design with my love for helping people achieve their dreams of homeownership. Having lived in Fairfield County for most of my life, I'm deeply passionate about Connecticut and the unique amenities our area offers. I saw an opportunity to use my creative marketing expertise and local knowledge to truly differentiate how properties are presented and sold in our market.
What do you like most about your job?
What I love most is the combination of creative marketing challenges and the personal relationships I build with clients. Every property tells a story, and I get to use my marketing and innovative advertising strategies to tell that story in the most compelling way possible. There's incredible satisfaction in seeing my listings featured in publications like Architectural Digest, Town & Country, and the Wall Street Journal, but what truly drives me is that moment when I hand over keys to families and know I've helped them find their perfect home. The blend of creativity, strategy, and human connection makes every day exciting.
How many local businesses do you use to support your business and can you name them?
I work with approximately 15-20 local businesses regularly and have a vast list of vendors and businesses I refer to my friends and clients. As someone who believes strongly in supporting our local community, I've built strategic partnerships with local mortgage brokers, home inspectors, contractors, photographers, stagers, and title companies throughout Fairfield County. I also collaborate with local media outlets like CT Cottages & Gardens and CT Post for marketing exposure. My former role as Director of one of Fairfield County's most recognized women's networking groups has helped me build these valuable local connections that directly benefit my clients.
Several things differentiate me: First, my proven marketing expertise - I've published two books on home selling and marketing, and my listings regularly appear in major national publications. Second, my role as a local strategist for Suburban Jungle gives me unique insight into helping out-of-town buyers find the perfect neighborhood. Third, my 35+ years of deep local knowledge combined with my vast network throughout Fairfield County. Finally, my innovative approach to technology and social media marketing ensures maximum exposure for my listings. I'm not just selling homes - I'm creating comprehensive marketing campaigns that consistently deliver top dollar for my sellers while providing exceptional service for my buyers as well.
