The MDR House is the collective home of our family of companies: MDR Design Co., Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Dream Partners, Budget Blinds of Janesville & Monroe, & Blue Bridge Property Management. Together, we operate as a team with a shared mission—to support clients through every chapter of homeownership, interior design, and lifestyle.
Starting as a locally owned real estate business, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Dream Partners (formally known as MAKING DREAMS Realty) was founded in 2015 by Kevin & Renee Clark and began by specializing in real estate services through a partnering broker. Fairly quickly, the Clark's recognized the importance of providing home staging to their clients, and with Renee's love of 'All Things Home', as well as being HSR certified, adding a home staging service was an easy addition. This addition quickly made way for a home design component, and MDR Design Co. was created. On March 1, 2022, the Budget Blinds of Janesville franchise was purchased to add a key product to our design services. With a great team in place, growth continued and by the end of 2022, MAKING DREAMS Realty became its own brokerage firm. In 2023, the Budget Blinds of Monroe territory was added, as well as a partnership with Blue Bridge Property Management to assist clients in need of property rental services.
In 2025, the Clark's transitioned their real estate company into a Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate franchise. The move was a natural fit—aligning with a nationally recognized brand that shares their commitment to lifestyle-focused real estate and long-term relationships.
At MDR, our goal is to provide more than a transaction. We want to excel beyond the basics. We desire to create relationships, provide life-enriching experiences, support our clients needs, and offer a variety of professional services and resources year-over-year to continually support clients in reaching their real estate goals & home design dreams. It is our desire to be your go-to team for 'All Things Home'.
