The Naples Team of the Dawn McKenna Group (DMG) is a team of local experts who understand that each neighborhood of Naples is like its own unique city. The DMG Naples team has the backgrounds, skills and experiences to match clients to the area that best fits the Southwest Florida lifestyle they’re looking for.
Ardel McKenna started the DMG Naples office, creating the opportunity to expand DMG’s services to a luxury market attractive to DMG’s clients. As DMG’s founder, Dawn McKenna, says, “We help lots of Illinoisans relocate or find second homes, and we don’t sit and wait for buyers to see our Naples listings; we put buyers on planes to Naples.” Agents Victoria Clarke-Payton, Ashley Baird, Wendy Garber, Jocelyn Lujen, Maureen Runzel, Kathleen Thanas and Julie Danaher have now joined McKenna as the hardworking, tuned-in DMG Naples team. They live Naples. They know Naples’ neighborhoods, developments and amenities well. Each also has a specialty or unique background, including McKenna (high finance and developments), Clarke-Payton (expats and high-net-worth lifestyles), Baird (equestrians and young residents), Thanas (golf and club communities), Garber (paddle sports and single-family construction), Lujen (rentals and exclusive subdivisions), Runzel (boats and planes) and Danaher (active family lifestyle). Together, this talented team of exceptional individuals closed more than $200 million in sales in 2022.
From its office on Fifth Avenue, DMG Naples offers convenience, unmatched reach and a wide range of backgrounds to everyone from first-time homeowners to luxury buyers and sellers. When paired with Dawn McKenna’s and DMG’s national status, with all DMG agents’ daily connections to hundreds of affluent Midwest buyers, and with DMG’s social media and marketing presence, DMG is a natural choice for Naples buyers and sellers.
