Being new to the area, I met many agents at open houses before meeting Dawne, but not a single one impressed me enough to want to work with them… until I met Dawne when she was showing a property for one of her clients.

She immediately showed a genuine interest in what my needs and wants were — no shallow sales pitches and no trying to convince me of what I should want. She listened.

Dawne was incredibly responsive, which is critical in a market like this, where you often have to see a property within hours of it hitting the market just to have a chance at bidding. She made herself available at a moment’s notice.

I quickly came to value her opinions and observations at each showing. Her many years of experience in both the industry and the local area give her a unique perspective — and that doesn’t just happen. It comes from someone who truly loves what they do, and she does.

I can honestly say that I trusted her judgment so much that I would not have made certain decisions without her professional advice. I appreciated that more than I can say.

As an added bonus, Dawne has incredible industry partners she can recommend — all equally reliable and wonderful to work with — which ensured a smooth transaction and an on-time closing.

Buying a home during one of the most difficult markets could have been overwhelming, but working with Dawne made all the difference. It was a long search, yet she stayed committed to finding just the right home.

I also think it’s important to note that the seller of the property I purchased was a Realtor as well — and she took the time to comment on how professional and wonderful Dawne was to work with.

It’s one thing to hear praise from a buyer who is thrilled to have found and closed on a home they love. It’s another to hear it from the professional on the other side of the transaction. -- Sarah M
