Background

About Dawn Zurick

Hi, I’m Dawn Zurick — a multi-state licensed Managing Broker with a passion for empowering agents and serving clients with integrity, empathy, and excellence. Over the past two decades, I’ve worn many hats: team leader, mentor, rehab investor, designated broker, board chair, and compliance whisperer. I thrive in dynamic environments where real estate meets real life — rural, REO, investor portfolios, you name it. At Vylla, I lead The R.I.G.H.T. Team across Illinois and Wisconsin while also supporting onboarding and retention efforts for 14 states. I help agents to grow, and ensure compliance never comes at the expense of compassion. I’m equally comfortable at the closing table or designing agent engagement workflows behind the scenes. I’ve served on multiple Realtor association boards, chaired grievance and government affairs committees, and held leadership roles with the Women’s Council of Realtors. Whether I’m coaching new agents or coordinating 11th-hour closings, I bring a calm presence and a problem-solving mindset to every challenge. My extensive background spans real estate, healthcare administration (human & animal), and banking, providing a unique perspective on client-centric service, compliance, and efficient operations. My entrepreneurial spirit led me to co-own a brokerage, take on property rehabbing, starting retail ventures, and managing inventories of distressed properties. If you’re looking for someone who leads with heart, hustles with purpose, and builds bridges across markets and teams — I’d love to connect.
