Dawn M Whalen

Dawn Whalen became a licensed Realtor in 2006, and obtained her Broker’s license in 2013. Her background includes owning a photography business, where she captured nearly 300 weddings in six years, as well as a multitude of family and senior photos. Prior to her professional photography business, she spent 15 years in the medical field, starting as an assistant to the physicians during patient visits, then a surgery scheduler and finally coordinating coding and billing.

She is passionate about her real estate career, helping people make their next move and making the process as stress free as possible. She prides herself in learning as much as she can about the industry, and takes more continuing education than is required by the state of Indiana and MIBOR. She earned the GRI, Graduate, REALTOR Institute designation, which is considered three years of “grad school” for Realtors. Dawn also earned the CDPE, (Certified Distressed Property Expert) designation, which educated her on helping consumers with short sales as well as earning a CPRES designation, which is a Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist.

When she’s not working with her clients, Dawn enjoys spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. She and her husband love to travel, whether it be a cruise or traveling across the country to meet up with family and see a concert. In her spare time, she enjoys reading and, weather permitting, spending time outside. She and her husband have an Airbnb in Madison Indiana, and she also founded Whalens Heroes Inc, a non profit that funds a professionally trained service dog for Veterans/First Responders living with PTSD.
