Orland Park Realtors

Our founder, Joseph Klischuk first started in the real estate business in the early 1960’s when he began helping Ukrainian immigrants find housing in the Chicagoland area. Joseph Klischuk was born in Ukraine and at a young age, his family was forced by the Soviet regime under Stalin to leave their home and farm. His parents and family were sent to a labor camp in Siberia. Under extremely dangerous conditions, Joseph managed to escape to Europe where he earned a scholarship to the University of Nebraska where he graduated with a degree in Economics. He attended the University of Nebraska at the same time as Johnny Carson where he became involved in theater. He believed that America would offer a better life, but unfortunately, he would not be able to see his family until the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early ’90’s at which time he was reunited with some of his family members.

Joseph Klischuk moved to Chicago where there were more job opportunities and started his own storefront tax and accounting service which grew and became quite successful. He learned 6 languages which proved beneficial in his personal and professional life. Joseph eventually became a real estate broker and had several Chicago and suburban offices. He and his family moved to Orland Park in 1975. In 1993, the Klischuk family purchased a new construction office condominium in which Orland Park Realtors operates it’s business along with the family’s group of financial companies.
