I have resided in Lake County, Illinois for over 50 years. I grew up in Mundelein and attended Mundelein High School. I graduated from Loyola University with a Bachelor’s of Business Administration with a major in Finance. I am currently a member of:

I have been involved in Real Estate for many years in various capacities; selling, investing (Owned & Managed personal rental properties since 1991) and managing my own firm as Managing Broker of Grand Realty Group, Inc.

Grand Realty Group, Inc. is located in Downtown Lake Villa in our rehabbed building. My expertise in Real Estate helps Landlords, sellers and homebuyers accomplish their goals.

In my spare time I enjoy the outdoors including boating and spending time in our cabin in the Upper peninsula of Michigan

Dawn CacioppoClient Care Manager

I was a stay-at-home mom for our two boys for 9 years until our youngest son started first grade when I began my journey here at Grand Realty Group. I’ve worn many different hats here- currently I keep the books, run marketing for the company and work on special projects. I have a design background which I utilize with our property management clients between residents and with sellers prior to listing. I can help anywhere from selecting paint and carpet colors to entire kitchens or complete property makeovers. Outside of the office I enjoy cooking, baking, making charcuterie boards, painting, cycling, spending time outside or being with family and friends.
