Bernadette Kettwig is returning to Coldwell Banker Realty as the director of sales for the Dawn McKenna Group (DMG). In this new role, she will help guide transactions while working to grow the team throughout Chicagoland, as well as in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin; Naples, Florida; and Park City, Utah.

Kettwig’s move follows several years spent at Compass as a managing broker. While there, in 2022, she won the Agents’ Choice Award for Managing Broker of the Year from Chicago Agent magazine.

“Bernadette has long been a friend and professional I admire, and I’m thrilled to have her join our team.” DMG Founder and CEO Dawn McKenna said in a press release. “Before real estate, Kettwig worked in the finance industry, so coupling that knowledge with her deep expertise in real estate, she is well positioned to assist our developer clients in their projects.”

Kettwig also expressed her excitement. “I’m thrilled to be back at Coldwell Banker and am excited about the future with this amazing team and brokerage that have top-class luxury marketing resources, global reach and state-of-the-art technology,” she said.
