For Dee Savic, real estate isn’t just a career—it’s the embodiment of a dream, something she once thought was impossible. Now, a top-producing agent with Dream Town Realty, she is not only living that dream, but helping others live it as well.

 

“Growing up in Serbia, I experienced a very different reality from the life I’ve been able to build here in the United States,” Dee explains. “I was raised in a country torn by war and shaped by communism, which came with its own unique set of challenges. The idea of stability, let alone prosperity, was difficult to imagine.”

 

Dee shares how, in those days, it felt as though her country was at a standstill—staggering inflation, limited employment opportunities, and the notion of private property being nearly nonexistent. “For most of my childhood and teenage years, owning a home or building a future through real estate wasn’t even a possibility,” she recalls.

 

For Dee, coming to the United States in 1998 felt like entering a different world. Suddenly, the idea of property ownership—of having a home that was truly hers and could grow in value and contribute to a future for her family—became not only attainable, but also deeply inspiring.

 

“In Serbia, few had access to opportunities that could lead to generational wealth,” she shares. “The contrast here was powerful: I saw how real estate could provide stability, offer a pathway to financial freedom, and help people create lasting legacies for their families.”

 

These early experiences taught Dee resilience and a resourcefulness that would later define her career in real estate. Growing up with so little taught her to appreciate every opportunity and instilled in her a relentless work ethic. She knew firsthand the power of rebuilding and facing uncertainty—a perspective that now fuels her commitment to her clients. 

 

“I know what it feels like to come from nothing, to start over, and to face uncertainty every day,” Dee shares. “I want to help my clients build something meaningful, to show them that ownership and security are possible, no matter where you start.”

Before obtaining her real estate license in 2001, Dee worked in the marble and granite industry, learning the ins and outs of materials and construction. Working closely with builders and homeowners, she gained insights into the building process that would later enhance her real estate expertise. 

 

The 2007–2008 housing crisis was a pivotal moment in Dee Savic’s real estate career. Like many real estate professionals, Dee found herself facing an unprecedented market downturn, where uncertainty became the norm and stability felt out of reach. At the same time, she was raising a newborn, which added personal pressures to the professional challenges she faced.

 

“I realized that to thrive, I would need to work harder and truly set myself apart,” recalls Dee. “That’s when I committed to providing exceptional service, regardless of the market conditions. I wanted my clients to feel supported, informed, and confident every step of the way. Delivering a level of service that truly stands out became the foundation of my business philosophy.”

 

Dee is still committed to that philosophy, and it drives her every day to push her limits to become the best version of herself. To achieve this, she’s dedicated herself to continuous growth and skill-building. She works with two business coaches to stay at the top of her game, and she invests deeply in education, including a year-long digital marketing program that she’s fully committed to.

 

“Striving for excellence and constant learning are at the heart of what I do, because for me, it’s about more than just success. It’s about exceeding my clients’ expectations every single time,” Dee emphasizes.

Looking to the future, Dee envisions real estate as a lifelong passion, with a potential role in mentorship down the line. “I’ve gathered so much knowledge over the years. I’d love to share that one day,” she says. For now, she’s dedicated to working directly with buyers and sellers, guiding them through the complexities of real estate, helping them see the potential in each property, and achieve their dreams.

Outside of work, Dee’s life revolves around her husband and their daughters, Teodora and Iva, and her commitment to health and fitness. Along with being a dedicated vegetarian, Dee has practiced kickboxing for over a decade. She finds that exercise and healthy living not only recharge her, but also teach resilience and discipline—qualities she brings to her career.

From her early days in Serbia to her success in the United States, Dee’s story is a testament to what’s possible when we recognize the opportunities in front of us, believe in ourselves, and pursue our dreams with passion, purpose, and unrelenting effort.
