About 11:11 Realty

We don’t just sell homes in Dubuque — we’ve built the streets, poured the foundations, and developed the communities.

11:11 Realty is more than a brokerage — it’s a multi-generational, family-rooted team of developers, builders, and real estate experts who’ve spent decades shaping the neighborhoods of Dubuque.

This isn’t some corporate chain or franchise. This is local, ground-up experience backed by the same people who’ve put the dirt under your feet.

Meet the Family Behind the Brand

Sherry Ehrlich

Owner & Broker, 11:11 Realty & Eleven | Eleven Realty

The backbone of the business. With decades of experience in real estate, Sherry leads the brokerage with unmatched knowledge of the Dubuque market. She’s been guiding families into new homes since long before the subdivisions were paved. Eleven Eleven is her vision — local, personal, and built on integrity.

Ava Swenson

Partner, Eleven | Eleven Realty (Sister Company)

Sherry’s daughter and partner in the Eleven | Eleven Realty (different from 11:11 Realty) business. Ava represents the next generation of leadership, blending modern real estate strategy with the deep community roots her family established. Ava is also a Broker @ Eleven | Eleven Realty, a sister company to support buyers and sellers with specialized services.

Rick Ehrlich

Developer, Subdivision Creator – Owner, Ehrlich Excavating

Rick doesn’t just know the land — he makes it. As the man behind Ehrlich Excavating, Rick develops the lots and subdivisions that become the foundation for 11:11 Realty listings. He’s married to Sherry, and together they’ve built a legacy that’s literally reshaped parts of Dubuque.

Steve Ehrlich

Builder – Owner, Ehrlich Construction

Rick’s brother and a long-time builder in Dubuque. Steve was the head of the residential foundations crew at Ehrlich Excavating for 20 years, before launching his own construction company, Steve Ehrlich Construction L.L.C., going on 15 years now. Today, he builds many of the homes listed by 11:11 Realty — homes on lots his brother developed, sold by his sister-in-law and niece, who are a team. That’s what you call keeping it in the family.

Gary Miller

Agent at 11:11 Realty – Developer & Builder, Realtor in Iowa and Florida

Gary wears many hats. Not only is he an agent on the 11:11 Realty team, he also develops and builds his own subdivisions. His background as a builder makes him the kind of agent buyers love — someone who can walk through a new home and explain every detail that went into it.

Why It Matters

When you work with Eleven Eleven Realty, you’re not just working with a real estate team. You’re working with the people who built the home, graded the lot, planned the street, and understand every inch of the subdivision you’re considering. There’s no middleman here — just family, experience, and deep local knowledge.
