Dajana Lalic
REALTOR/ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT

Dajana joined The Atkinson Group in May of 2022 in search of her professional “home”, a place where she can proudly grow as an individual & a professional. Dajana has a background in Management, Marketing and Graphic Design. For the first 14 years of her childhood I had lived in Serbia, however due to the Civil War her family had to make an extremely difficult decision to leave everything behind in order to provide for her brother and her with an opportunity for a safer future, for which she will be forever grateful. They landed in Phoenix 28 years ago, and decided that Arizona was their new home, their new beginning. She got married 21 years ago to the love of her life and they have two beautiful teenagers. She has learned a lot from her parents, family comes first!!! With that in mind, working in the corporate world for over 20 years did not give her the flexibility to attend to her family as much as she wanted to. There was never enough time! Deciding to go into real estate, gave her the freedom of truly doing something she is passionate about. Being a part of a new beginning for her clients and making their dreams come true is priceless. She takes pride in being there for them every step of the way, promising to do 110%.
