Kathleen, the fifth of Dinny’s six children, recently brought her background in advertising, sales, and marketing to the family business. With real estate in her blood, she says it was always a dream to work alongside her mother and sister-in-law, Sarah. Kathleen generates top-of-the-line marketing plans when listing new homes for The Dwyer Group and her sales background has made her a motivated, detail-oriented, and personable addition to the team.

What trends are you currently seeing in the real estate market, and how do you anticipate it evolving over the next year? How do you think the local real estate market differs from other regions in the U.S.?
The trends we are currently seeing in the real estate market are low inventory, high competition, and inflated sale prices. In the next year, we feel trends will stay the same because inventory continues to remain low. Our local market differs from other regions in the U.S. because we have the lake, highly rated schools, and we are in close proximity to the city. These appealing characteristics will always lead to more competition and give us an edge over other areas.

How do you ensure that your personal brand stands out in such a crowded and competitive real estate space?
Our combined experience has taught us that the keys to success in a crowded and competitive real estate space are putting your client first and going above and beyond for them, treating others the way you want to be treated, and being able to navigate all different types of markets—adjusting to the learning curves that come along with each one of them. Because there are three of us, The Dwyer Group takes pride in the fact that we are the ones representing our clients every single inch of the way.

How do you set realistic expectations for your clients, particularly when it comes to pricing and timelines?
Research, research, research! In order to set realistic expectations for our clients, particularly when it comes to pricing and timelines, we are experts in the market. We educate our clients as to where their home fits in that market. And at this particular time in real estate history, competitive pricing and an understanding of realistic timelines are key to a favorable transaction for all.
