“Dawn and Josh are both very hard workers and extremely enthusiastic and dedicated to their passion of selling real estate.<br><br>No job is too challenging or a bother to do. They are not afraid or hesitant to roll up their sleeves to get things moving quickly both physically with moving furniture around for listing pictures and in delivering the paperwork needed to sell any property.<br><br>Dawn is super flexible, highly responsive, and above all, very kind and helpful ... great sense of humor to boot too. She helped sell a house for us in Prospect Heights 15 years ago and we will never work with another realtor ever again. She is stuck with us!! ❤️”

Why the Reviews Keep Saying the Same Things

“Responsive” isn't marketing — it's two cell phones

Dawn and Josh give every client their personal cells. Call, text, 7 days a week. That's why “always quick to answer” shows up in review after review.

Sold in 2 days. Won the bidding war.

Pricing right and negotiating hard are the two things that actually move money in a sale. 26+ years and 550+ transactions of practice.

“He learned well from Mom.”

Two full-time agents from one family, working every deal together. You get Dawn's experience and Josh's hustle — not a hand-off to an assistant.
