Founded in 2016, the Dawn McKenna Group (DMG) has quickly grown into a recognizable presence all around Chicagoland. Led by Dawn McKenna herself, the No. 1 agent in Hinsdale for over 20 years, the DMG North Shore & Western Suburbs Team consists of multiple agents with local expertise. McKenna chooses high-performing market experts with a polished style to uphold the DMG standards, and she has high praise for her suburban team.

“Our DMG team is the best group of people I have ever met,” she says. “As our clients regularly attest, DMG has a mix of market knowledge, network powerand style that is extremely rare.” McKenna has entrusted her Lake Bluff/Lake Forest region to Annie Royster Lenzke, while the Winnetka offices are overseen by Katie Moor.

A 16-year veteran of Chicago real estate and a North Shore native, Lenzke was raised by a builder and an agent who instilled in her a love for the business. When she became an agent, the former account manager for the legendary Leo Burnett advertising agency saw how the skills she’d honed applied to real estate and quickly earned a reputation for presenting listings that stood out from the pack.

Before realizing her childhood dream of selling real estate six years ago, Winnetka resident Moor enjoyed a successful 12-year career, also in marketing and advertising. With design expertise that rivals her market expertise, Moor is known for seeing the potential in a property that others may not and then helps her clients envision it for themselves. In 2023, though limited inventory made nearly every deal a bidding war, she secured homes for every buyer client.

The team has additional offices in both Lake Forest and Hinsdale, too. The Lake Forest office serves Lake Forest, as well as Lake Bluff, Highland Park and surrounding suburbs, while the Hinsdale office serves the exclusive Hinsdale market, plus Burr Ridge, Oak Brook, Western Springs, Clarendon Hills and other nearby areas.  There, Lauren Walz is the resident expert on Western Springs and La Grange. A proud lifetime resident of Western Springs, she has extensive community knowledge.

Bari Mill, Maddie McMahon, and Maria Cali also remain active throughout DMG, supporting the team overall and aiding agents as they service clients and achieve their goals.

Together, the group works to deliver the full “DMG Experience.” Says McKenna, “It’s a combination of talent, local expertise, creative and stylish marketing, global reach, hard work and customer-focused service.”
