Since 2003, Shawn Strach has helped hundreds of clients as a residential and commercial broker in Northern Illinois. He is the award-winning Designated Managing Broker and Owner of Dream Real Estate.

The grandson of entrepreneurs, Shawn has taken his grandfather’s beliefs of honesty, integrity, and customer service to heart. Every aspect of his business is based on these values. He has a passion for helping clients find the right home, and helping sellers find the right buyers. During the market crash, Shawn was able to help his clients in very tough situations get through their short sales as a Certified Distressed Property Expert.

Shawn spends countless hours staying connected to the community. He has spent his time volunteering on non-profit boards, youth athletic boards, and as an elected Alderman. He is well respected in the area, and always willing to extend a helping hand. Recently, Shawn has expanded the family business to include his son Dylan. Dylan has joined the team to help expand Dream Real Estate into the world of asset and property management. Dream’s clientele can look forward to the same level of customer service, customer appreciation, and expertise they’ve come to rely on from Shawn.

Shawn and his wife, along with their sons, love to spend time outdoors. They enjoy riding horses, playing and coaching lacrosse in the community and giving back wherever they can. He has a great deal of passion about Brazilian Jiujitsu and martial arts. So, when he’s not working, he can often be found on a mat somewhere training.
