[Let's Connect](/Contact-Marquette-MI) ![Dawn Florio - Marquette County Real Estate Agent](/assets/dawn-headshot-BniUT_L6.webp) ## Your Partner in Real Estate Real estate is more than just transactions. It's about **new beginnings**. Whether clients are first-time homebuyers nervously searching for their perfect place, a family looking to upgrade, or sellers ready to start their next chapter, Dawn understands the emotions and stakes involved. With over **13 years of experience** in the Marquette County market, Dawn has helped hundreds of families achieve their real estate goals. Her approach is simple: **education and empowerment**. She believes that when clients understand the process, they make better decisions and feel confident every step of the way. As a proud member of **RE/MAX 1st Realty**, Dawn has access to industry-leading resources, marketing tools, and a network of professionals to ensure every transaction goes smoothly. But what sets her apart is her genuine care for each client and her deep knowledge of the Upper Peninsula's unique real estate landscape. Dawn was recently named the **2025 Upper Peninsula Realtor of the Year** by the Upper Peninsula Association of Realtors (UPAR) and currently serves on the [UPAR Board of Directors](https://upar.org/bod.php). Her dedication to clients and the real estate profession has been recognized by the [Mining Journal](https://www.miningjournal.net/news/front-page-news/2025/10/florio-named-u-p-realtor-of-the-year/) and TV6. ## Marquette County Roots Dawn grew up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, spending her childhood between the iron-range towns of Ishpeming and Negaunee. She knows the rhythm of life here: ice-out on Teal Lake in spring, the brilliant fall colors along County Road 550, and the kind of winter snowfall that keeps Marquette Mountain running well into April. This isn't a territory she covers from a distance. She lives, works, and raises her family right here. That lifelong connection to the area means Dawn understands things that don't show up in listing data. She knows which Chocolay Township streets flood during spring thaw, where cell service drops off past Big Bay, and which Negaunee neighborhoods sit on old mine shafts. When clients ask about commute times to NMU, the best sledding hills for kids, or which restaurants stay open through mud season, she has real answers, not search-engine guesses. Outside of real estate, Dawn stays active in the community. She volunteers at local events including Marquette's International Food Festival, the Blueberry Festival on the shores of Lake Superior, and Art on the Rocks at Ellwood Mattson Lower Harbor Park. Her involvement with the Upper Peninsula Association of Realtors and the RE/MAX network keeps her connected to both the people and the market trends shaping this region. ## Credentials & Experience Professional qualifications backed by years of hands-on experience in the Marquette market. 2025 UP Realtor of the Year UPAR Board of Directors Licensed REALTOR® in Michigan RE/MAX 1st Realty Agent 13 Years Real Estate Experience Marquette County Market Expert ## Why Work With Dawn Her commitment to client success is built on these core principles. ### Client-Focused Her clients' goals are her priority.
