Sara McCarthy
Broker, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage

Both Sara and her partner Julie Dorger of the Dorger McCarthy group are committed to offering their clients the highest level of customer service. They have built their business on three simple values: service, integrity and passion. Of the more than 3,700 Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage independent sales associates, Sara’s group ranks 34th in sales volume, which places them in the top 1 percent of sales associates in the company – earning them the honor of President’s Club membership annually since 2010. In Sara’s spare time, she serves as the Boston College Alumni Chicago Chapter Co-Chair. Annually, she partners with BC in coordinating a winter coat drive for those in need. She is passionate about “paying it forward” as a volunteer in the community.

“I am honored to accept the Community Service award. I share this award with my partner, Julie Dorger. We’re fortunate to have been raised by supportive and loving parents in a large family, and were always encouraged to “pay it forward” in life. Do what you love, work hard in a profession you admire and the rest will come. I salute the people working in the trenches and serving those in need every day. I am humbled to be recognized for my efforts in making this world a better place.”
