Connie Dornan epitomizes hard work, integrity and personalized service in every aspect of her real estate transactions. A native of the Northside, now living in Glenview for over 15 years, she has found good use for her accounting background in corporate real estate, in her well-established residential North Shore real estate career.
With over $450 million in career sales, Connie is consistently ranked among the top 1% of REALTORS on the North Shore, in Cook County, and in the State of Illinois. Connie’s success stems from her ability to embrace ever-changing technology and strive for excellence in marketing, presentation, and negotiation for her clients. Old-fashioned rigor can be equally important. As she says: “Attention to detail gets a deal done”. The trust and understanding required to guide people through the momentous task of buying or selling a home often takes time to nurture. Connie welcomes homeowners to use her as a trusted real estate resource long before buying or selling a home, so that they can fully understand the options available to them and market conditions that are prevailing.
Algorithms and big data play an increasing role in this industry, and to stay ahead, Connie offers the deeply personalized approach that she has developed through her years of being a top performer. Her career has been built on her reputation and referrals. “My greatest satisfaction is always another happy client.
