My name is Arnel Beecham. I am 25 years old and born and raised on the west-side of
Chicago. What inspired me to real estate was working closely with mentors who have found success in real estate. Seeing their achievements sparked interest and motivated me to pursue a similar path, because it involved helping people find homes or investment opportunities that met their needs. Real estate allows individuals to operate like entrepreneurs, whether they are involved in property development, flipping houses, or managing investments. This entrepreneurial aspect was highly motivating to me. I chose to focus on luxury apartment rentals in downtown Chicago and home purchases throughout the city and surrounding suburbs. “One of the most memorable moments in my real estate career was when I helped a young couple
find their first home. They had been searching for months, facing disappointment after
disappointment in a competitive market. I remember the joy on their faces when we finally
walked into a house that felt just right for them. Seeing their excitement as they imagined
starting their life together in that home was incredibly rewarding. It reminded me of why I love
working in real estate — the opportunity to make a positive impact on people’s lives and help
them achieve their dreams of homeownership.”
Outside of real estate, I have been a bartender for 7 years and a hairstylist for 10 years.
After a busy day, I will find myself having brunch with friends. I enjoy reading and I am involved
with many organizations across the west side of Chicago. My favorite travel destinations are 5
countries in Africa (Nigeria, Ghana, Namibia, Egypt, and Morocco). Establishing a strong
personal brand and reputation in the local market through positive client testimonials, reviews,
and community involvement can attract clients and differentiate you from competitors.Staying
informed about industry changes, attending professional development courses, and seeking
feedback to improve your skills and service delivery. Combining these qualities with a genuine
passion for helping clients achieve their real estate goals can truly make you stand out as a trusted and successful real estate agent.
