Driven by a passion for learning, leadership and creating opportunities, Danielle Dowell founded the DoWell Group at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices of Illinois after beginning her real estate career as an assistant. Eager to master every facet of the real estate industry, Dowell quickly became a notable force in city, suburbs and select out-of-state markets.

Dowell’s vision for the DoWell Group centers on collaboration, energy and professionalism. Her team stands out in Chicago’s competitive market by delivering top-tier service with a relatable touch. While Dowell specializes in luxury listings and new-construction properties, her commitment to service extends throughout her team, regularly assisting first-time homebuyers and renters.

Thriving on the strength of its people, the DoWell Group is a collective force of high performers. Madeline Ackerlund, the team’s operations manager, ensures seamless processes. Arianna Esper serves as Dowell’s trusted partner and right-hand assistant. Michelle Herz and Grace Flowers complete Dowell’s core team, expanding the team’s social media presence. Tanner Peterson delivers impressive results in new construction, while Kimberly Bowman is a Gold Coast expert. Danielle Knighton leads in the North Shore and western suburbs. Tim Knipper, Lauren Ward and Kyaira Kimble cover key city and suburban areas.

The DoWell Group’s excellence is consistently recognized. Dowell’s team has been featured on Crain’s Top 100 Influential Teams list (2016 to 2025), received the Chicago Association of REALTORS®’ top 1% producer award, earned Platinum Producer status at Berkshire Hathaway since 2012, and is the No. 1 BHHS team in Illinois and No. 12 nationally. Dowell has been featured in CS Modern Luxury’s Dynamic Women issue, Who’s Who in Chicagoland Residential Real Estate issue, Crain’s, The Real Deal, and Luxe Interiors and Design’s Power Players.
