In October of 2017, realizing they’d outgrown their brokerage, Julie Dorger and Sara McCarthy – of the Chicago-based Dorger McCarthy Group – left Coldwell Banker after 13 years. “The growth potential at Keller Williams was definitely appealing to us,” Dorger says. “It’s where our heads are focused – being with a company supportive of growth for our team and ourselves, for growing who we are within our community and within our market center. We want to shift our focus to giving back, and we envision being able to do that with Keller Williams.”
Since joining the Chicago-O’Hare market center and closing out 2017 with $30 million in volume and 65 transactions, Dorger and McCarthy have become part of the leadership team opening the new Chicago-Lakeview market center. “We’re really looking to create a synergy-filled environment – helping each other out, helping with training, helping people build their businesses,” McCarthy says. “We’ve found at Keller Williams you can be whoever you want to be. And there’s support to help you get there.”
“We’ve found at Keller Williams you can be whoever you want to be. And there’s support to help you get there.”
The new market center will be nestled in one of the many unique neighborhoods of Chicago … neighborhoods the Dorger McCarthy Group enjoy exploring every day with their clients. “We are passionate about educating our clients on the diverse neighborhoods within our great city and we are encouraged by their confidence and trust in our market knowledge and negotiation skills,” McCarthy says, while Dorger adds, “The culture and education offered at Keller Williams is really helping us grow in our mission to provide first-class service to our clients.”
