Owner & Principal Broker, Arnold Realty Group

Dawn Arnold has built a reputation as the go-to agent for all things commercial real estate in the Paducah region—but her expertise doesn’t stop there. As the founder and Principal Broker of Arnold Realty Group, Dawn is also a leader in the luxury residential market, known for representing high-end listings and delivering results for discerning buyers and sellers. With over $150 million in career sales and more than 330 transactions under her belt, she brings unmatched experience and hustle to every deal.

Dawn grew up in Metropolis, Illinois and attended Western Kentucky University on a women’s golf scholarship, earning both a Bachelor’s degree in Public Relations and a Master’s in Recreation & Sports Administration with a focus in marketing and branding. She began her real estate career in Bowling Green before returning to Paducah in 2015, where she hit the ground running under the mentorship of the late Mike Falconite—one of the region’s most respected developers. Within two years, she rose to become Principal Broker at Falconite Development Group.

In 2019, Dawn launched Arnold Realty Group, growing it from a team of three to a powerhouse of 15 top-tier professionals. Under her leadership, ARG has become the #1 commercial brokerage and a consistent top-5 residential firm in the Western Kentucky MLS. Her strong relationships with local leaders, developers, and fellow agents often make her the first call for “the scoop” on new developments and listings in the area.

Beyond her transactional success, Dawn brings deep knowledge of construction, buildouts, and real estate marketing. She collaborates closely with buyers, sellers, investors, and developers to create long-term value and personalized real estate strategies. Whether it’s a new commercial development, a multifamily investment, or a luxury home purchase, Dawn’s clients benefit from her sharp insight, unwavering ethics, and hands-on, client-first approach.

Dawn shares:
“Something I’ve learned & strive to teach my agents is the importance of your relationship with other agents. I work hand-in-hand with my local real estate peers to find what my client needs—oftentimes before it ever hits the market. Paducah is home to many amazing agents I’m proud to work with and learn from.”

Dawn lives in Paducah with her husband Justin, owner of Frontier Shed Co., their daughter Harper, and stepdaughter Baleigh. A passionate advocate for collaboration and community, she believes strong relationships and clear communication are the cornerstones of successful real estate.

You’re never more than a text away from Dawn. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or lease, she’ll be there every step of the way—ready to go above and beyond to get the job done.
