Dawn McKenna
Dan Hodgman, Agent
Ellie Money, Agent
With offices in the places where Chicagoans live, move, vacation and have second homes, Dawn McKenna and the Dawn McKenna Group seek to serve people of all ages, demographics and stages of life. One of the most sought-after luxury real estate agents in the United States, in 2023 McKenna expanded her formidable team to Lake Geneva and the surrounding communities. Since then, agents Dan Hodgman and Ellie Money, who are as enthusiastic about lake living as they are knowledgeable about lakefront real estate, have been representing the DMG brand in Wisconsin’s most prestigious lakeside address.
Like McKenna herself, Hodgman came to real estate after a career in finance with the Chicago Board of Trade. After retiring and moving to Lake Geneva full time five years ago, his desire to help others find their summer homes there just as he had 25 years prior quickly brought him out of retirement. Today, his clients appreciate his deep knowledge of the area, its homes and its history as well as his financial expertise, which benefits them in negotiations for residential and commercial properties alike.
For Money, a background in property management in Lake Geneva was the perfect route to becoming a successful agent there. And like her colleague Hodgman, her success is driven by her desire to share lake living with others. “Knowing what lake life has to offer and being able to help others make those same memories inspires me to work hard and give my all for my clients,” she says. Giving her all is a hallmark of her service, and Money is known for her tireless work ethic.
Hodgman and Money exemplify the “DMG Experience” that McKenna strives to bring to every market her teams serve. “Clients realize that DMG agents are energetic, aggressive, stylish, experienced, have deep local market knowledge and can tap into a national and international network that is invaluable when buying or selling,” McKenna says.
