For 33 years, Chris Eigel has been a powerful presence in Chicago's residential real estate marketplace. He is a graduate of the University of Illinois and holds an MBA from the University of Chicago. Formerly president of Koenig & Strey GMAC Real Estate, Mr. Eigel presided over a company with close to $5 billion in sales and more than $100 million in gross commissions. Mr. Eigel and principal partner Michael Pierson's talents were instrumental in growing Koenig & Strey GMAC from 11 to 18 offices, and 525 sales associates to nearly 1200 in just six years. After retiring from Koenig & Strey GMAC Real Estate in 2006, Mr. Eigel and Mr. Pierson have embarked on a bold new venture to expand the Prudential Preferred Properties brand in Chicago, and steer it to market leadership.

Chris and his wife, Carolyn, have lived on the North Shore for nearly 40 years and have three grown children. Their daughter, Amy Eigel Reynolds, is the Assistant Manager of Prudential Preferred Properties' Lincoln Park office, and daughter-in-law Karoline Eigel is the Director of Luxury and Development Marketing.
