Baird & Warner has acquired Dream Town, which will now represent a combined real estate entity of almost 3,000 agents, loan officers and staff. The merger now forms the second-largest brokerage in the region by number of properties sold in 2024.
There will be eight city offices and more than 30 Chicagoland locations.
“Throughout our 170-year history, we have sought to make bold moves that sharpen our competitive edge and enhance the value we bring to our agents and their clients,” said Steve Baird, president and CEO of Baird & Warner. “We quickly realized our shared values, service offerings and technology would provide significant benefits, and we are excited for Yuval to join our senior leadership team as president of brokerage services. Together, we will form the next generation of independent brokerage.”
Yuval Degani, founder and CEO of Dream Town, added, “Every major brokerage in town is now run by Wall Street or a hedge fund. Steve and I envisioned creating an even more competitive, locally committed and powerful independent alternative for agents, where they can have the best tech and marketing, yet maintain a culture of community and collaboration.”
