Dana Schaffer, born in Evanston and raised in Barrington, Illinois, has been visiting Door County since the early 1970s when her family first had a vacation home in Ephraim.  As Dana has grown and matured since her first visit more than 30 years ago, Door County has grown ever-more popular, but never lost the natural charm and unsurpassed beauty that initially enchanted Dana as a youngster.

Following her graduation from Southern Illinois University in 1994 with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Dana embarked on a varied and exciting professional journey that makes her perfectly suited to her role representing discerning buyers and sellers of Door County’s finest properties.  Her initial position in consumer finance with Harris Bank & Trust developed her unparalleled understanding and love of customer service. Her business management skills were then honed during her tenure as the Office Manager of Milieu Design, Inc., an award-winning landscape design firm headquartered in Wheeling, Illinois.  During her time with Milieu Design, Dana was privileged to be involved in fiscal and project management of high-end landscape and hardscape projects for some of Chicago-land’s finest homes, from the North Shore to the Northwest Suburbs.

Today, Dana is especially proud to represent Properties of Door County, LLC and in doing so, leverage her customer care skills, business acumen and in-depth knowledge of the entire Door County Peninsula.  As a full-time resident of Door County, Dana has a great opportunity to indulge her love of wildlife and take part in her favorite pastimes of hiking and boating in one of America’s most beautiful settings.
