Since 1991, Dooley of Compass, North Shore, has been calling Winnetka her home. As a result, she is intimately familiar with our North Shore communities—the schools, organizations, government, and history. With No. 1 market share in Winnetka and New Trier for the past decade, Dooley is a consistent top performer.

Why do you love what you do? There is no greater satisfaction than helping people find their place called home.

2020 was a success due to? Buyers elevated the importance of home beyond a place of comfort, congregation, and cooking to a place of work, learning, and exercise.

Highlight of your 2020 volume? Selling a multi-million dollar Winnetka property that is truly a spectacular piece of art and helping a client who I have known since her birth and her husband navigate the purchase of their first home.

What sets you apart from your competition? My hallmark work ethic, tireless analysis, and insights combined with my artful understanding of the nuances of beauty as value.

Best thing about 2020? The silver linings in this very tough time include the unyielding human spirit and the renewed importance of home.

Best advice you have given? Live in Plan A, but always have a good Plan B. It is important to know how to pivot gracefully!
