About Connie Dornan

Connie Dornan

Founder | Lead Broker

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 19 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 $600 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.
