Looking at KATIE MOOR and ANNIE ROYSTER LENZKE, it’s easy to see the connections. They both attended Big 10 universities, they both have backgrounds in marketing and advertising, and they both have strong North Shore roots. Joining forces at the Dawn McKenna Group—a female-dominated real estate team ranked 10th in the nation by WSJ Real Trends—allowed the duo to put these synergies to good use. “Our competitive advantage begins with our tremendous reach across markets with DMG agents serving the North Shore, city of Chicago, Western Suburbs, and Naples, Florida,” they say. “Being a large-scale team allows us to invest more in our clients with world class marketing and advertising developed by our in-house marketing group.” They’re passionate advocates for their communities where they live and work—Lenzke in Lake Forest and Lake Bluff, and Moor in Winnetka and New Trier Township. Both have found inspiration from other powerful women. Lenzke didn’t have to look far; her mom, Jean Royster, is a longtime top North Shore real estate agent. “Growing up I watched my mom work harder than anyone I’ve ever seen,” she recalls. “I am truly grateful to have her as my role model and business partner for over 14 years and counting. She’s the ultimate power woman.” Moor has long admired team lead Dawn Mckenna. “Dawn is a visionary. She’s always thinking one step ahead about how to differentiate our team, expand our reach, and provide an unmatched experience for our clients.” Knowledgeable-yet-approachable, direct-yet-poised, this North Shore pair provides an elevated experience from start to finish.
