Welcome
At DMG, we’re all about passion – a passion for living your best life, a passion for a job well done, a passion for challenges met and, of course, a passion for real estate. The world keeps changing and so does our industry. That’s something you can count on. So, we change with it, broadening our vision, extending our reach and sharing what we know and continue to learn.
2023 was a great year for the Dawn McKenna Group, thanks to our wonderful clients and supporters. With over $590 million in sales, we continued to break our own records and enhance our standing as the #4 team in the U.S. among all brokerages. From our home office in Hinsdale to Park City, from Chicago to Naples, DMG has placed more people in their dream homes than ever before, and isn’t that what it’s all about? We’ve listened to our clients and learned from them, which has inspired us to open new offices and continue to perform our roles as trusted advisors to a broader audience. It’s something we’re all excited about!
Whether it’s by tapping our global networks, International Luxury Alliance and Global Collective, the combined experience of our 30+ local experts, or our talented in-house marketing and client relations teams, DMG will continue to be there for you. And our definition of “there” keeps growing.
We’ve added new talent to our in-house teams, our agents are the best in the business and our service is complete, informed and thoughtful. We truly love what we do and we support that service with a beautifully realized print and digital presence, all to benefit our sellers and buyers, our lessors and lessees, and assist them in achieving their goals.
At DMG, we believe opportunities are everywhere and 2024 will be our best year ever. It’s a matter of experience, accumulated knowledge, skill and passion...let’s not forget passion.
