Related Realty

2016 was a big year for Sheila Rugege Dantzler. Not only was she named Related Realty’s Top Producer, she was also included in the Chicago Association of Realtors’ Top Producer list, the second time she’s earned that honor. With 11 years in the industry under her belt, Dantzler has made a name for herself as one of the top brokers in the city, and has even made an appearance on HGTV’s House Hunters.

Before getting into real estate, Dantzler worked in tech sales. While she loved the personal aspect of sales and getting to build relationships with all sorts of people, she wasn’t passionate about the industry. Real estate provided her the opportunity to continue to work in a field defined by building relationships while also pursuing her passions. Dantzler works with a wide range of clients, including buyers, sellers and renters, and while she has designations as both a Luxury Marketing Specialist and Corporate Relocation Specialist, she still loves helping first-time buyers achieve their dreams of home ownership.

What are Dantzler’s keys to success? She says her calm demeanor goes a long way. “Selling and buying real estate can be very stressful, volatile and emotional,” she says. “I must be the professional to keep calm and even-keeled in order to keep everyone on track and to the finish line. I am the guide to seeing my clients through the next chapter of their lives.” Clients also appreciate Dantzler’s expertise, patience and professionalism in walking them through the buying or selling process, as well as her straightforwardness and honesty. Even when she has to tell them something they may not want to hear at first, clients know that Dantzler always has their long-term interests at heart.

Outside of real estate, Dantzler loves to show her 6-year-old daughter everything Chicago’s diverse and vibrant neighborhoods have to offer. She’s also involved in philanthropic work with Jack and Jill of America’s Chicago Chapter and Giveback Homes, a community of real estate professionals who build homes for deserving families.
