Shawn Strach

I'm Shawn, the Managing Broker at Dream Real Estate, with over 21 years of experience in residential sales and property management. Inspired by my grandfather Sigmund ("Ziggy"), who moved our family to McHenry in 1948 and founded the successful Community Auto Supply, I've built my career on the values of honesty and integrity that he exemplified.

After leaving corporate America in 2003, I obtained my real estate license following the sale of our family's commercial property. Within 30 days, I listed and sold my first home, confirming my passion for real estate and commitment to helping homeowners navigate the selling process.

Throughout my career, I've weathered various market conditions, including the market crash. As a Certified Distressed Property Expert, I've guided many homeowners through challenging situations like short sales, helping them recover and move forward confidently.

At Dream Real Estate, I specialize in helping sellers maximize their property's value and achieve a successful sale. I offer comprehensive services in residential sales, commercial sales, rentals, and property management. My deep understanding of the McHenry real estate market allows me to provide strategic advice tailored to your unique needs.

When I'm not assisting clients, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my wife Stephanie and our sons, Ryan and Dylan. We love horseback riding, playing and coaching lacrosse in our community, and giving back wherever we can. I'm also passionate about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts, which instill discipline and continuous growth in my life.

If you're considering selling your home, I'm here to provide expert guidance and personalized service to ensure a smooth and profitable sale. Contact me at Dream Real Estate to start your real estate journey today.
