Akos Straub is the Chief Executive Officer of Tavola Realty, a full service real estate brokerage built on the belief that real estate decisions should be approached with the same level of strategy as business, financial, and investment decisions. As part of Tavola Group’s integrated platform of professional services including accounting, insurance, marketing, and financial planning, Tavola Realty was created to provide clients with a more connected and advisory driven real estate experience.

Since 2005, Straub has consistently ranked among Chicago’s top producing real estate professionals and has generated multimillion dollar sales volume throughout his career. He is known for combining deep market knowledge with business strategy and modern marketing to help clients make informed decisions across buying, selling, leasing, and investing.

Under Straub’s leadership, Tavola Realty is building a brokerage model centered on long term relationships and trusted guidance. The firm’s vision is to develop professionals who go beyond the traditional role of real estate agents by helping clients think strategically about real estate as part of broader wealth building, financial planning, and business goals.

Straub served on the Board of Directors for the Chicago Association of REALTORS® from 2013 to 2015 and has been recognized as one of Chicago’s Top 40 Under 40, named one of CS Magazine’s Real Estate Visionaries, and received multiple Top Producer and Top Achiever distinctions. He was also featured in Realtor Magazine’s article, “Secrets to Today’s Investment Market and 10 Pitfalls to Avoid.”
