About me
A quick snapshot.
I’m called Christopher (Chris) Olejniczak — a builder, learner, and entrepreneur. This site will evolve over time, but for now it’s a simple home base where you can get a sense of what I care about and where to reach me.
Over time I’ll add more writing on what I’m doing, and a more complete timeline of my career. For now, consider this page a simple introduction — light on the fluff, focused on clarity.
Working on RE softwares and systems that scale.
Interested in productivity, longevity & integrity.
Leverage in most areas of life always on my mind.
Always open to interesting conversations and collaborations.
Where I spend my work hours these days
A glance at where I’m building.
The world of real estate is full of twists and turns. It's not easy, but I am limiting myself to the following areas of success.
Value has always been as much art as it is science. With all the information available today, two things have not changed. Houses are still just houses & it's estimating the monetary value of real estate where it sometimes get's very tricky. That's where an appraiser you can trust steps in.
There are two choices when it comes to buying and building things. Fund it ourselves or use other people's money. Often times, using other peoples money is the better option. Whether an individual buying a piece of real estate, growing a hungry business or just getting started as a real estate investor, the funding piece can make or break you.
When it's time to move or invest, there's a ton to consider. Having an expert do a lot all the heavy lifting, with a fiduciary responsibility to you and what's best for you, that's the magic of working with a Pro. Yes, in many cases you can do this solo, but more often than not, the costs outweigh the benefits.
Assisting people move on from distressed situations and/or distressed properties some times requires an off-the-market approach. If it needs to be lighting fast, no out of pocket costs, 100% hassle free or all three, consider your options.
We've learned so much over the years about how to make the internet work for us. Now, in the age of AI, the internet can & needs to work for everyone and every business. I've always taught others what I learn. It's not different with this, but
About my family
This is My Real Success Brag.
The love of my life and I fell for one another a long, long time ago.
Kelly and I have been inseparable since shortly after we began spending time together. She's a girl from middle school and high school that I never considered asking out, oddly enough. It wasn't until I came back home after my military years that Kelly and I connected and we've never looked back.
Kelly and I didn't waste much time adulting. First house at twenty one, first real business at twenty two, baby one at twenty four and baby two at twenty seven. We always hear that having kids changes everything. Believe it, if you haven't lived it yet.
Our older daughter is working on her thesis in grad school, was a top performer as at undergrad, is a former NCAA softball player, hardworking educator at a pre-school, assistant coach for a group of ten year old girls at her former travel organization and is her high school sweetheart, future attorney boyfriends top fan.
Our younger daughter is currently in undergrad and current NCAA softball player. After successfully kicking high schools butt and choosing her path, this one is off to one hell of a start.
