Review for Member: Dawn Costello
ZillowVERIFIEDI cannot say enough wonderful things about **Dawn Costello at Douglas Elliman**. She truly went above and beyond to successfully sell my home, and I am incredibly grateful for everything she did throughout the entire process. From day one, Dawn put so much time, effort, and personal care into preparing my home for sale. She beautifully staged the house and had such an incredible eye for detail. She genuinely cared about presenting the home in the best possible way. But what impressed me most was everything she did behind the scenes. Dawn personally went to the town and worked through all of the logistics involving permits and Certificates of Occupancy. She took the initiative to handle issues, find solutions, and keep everything moving forward. She didnt just tell me what needed to be done aEUR" she went out and made it happen. She gave my home so much **time, attention, effort, and TLC**, and it truly showed. She treated the sale as if it were her own home and was always willing to do whatever was necessary to get the job done. Selling a home can be an emotional and stressful experience, but Dawn made the entire process feel as seamless as possible. Her dedication, responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine commitment to her clients are truly exceptional. I feel very fortunate to have had Dawn in my corner and would **highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home**. She is not just a great broker aEUR" she is someone who truly cares, and that makes all the difference. Thank you, Dawn, for everything you did to get us to the finish line!

ZillowVERIFIED Dawn Costello did an excellent job in every step of selling my co-op. She knows the market very well and gave me regular updates as to the comp sales in my complex. We came up with a competitive price together and I did better than expected. She advertised my property in all the relevant places using the latest technology to highlight the apartment in the best possible way. She always responded to me promptly and was very friendly to me and potential buyers. My property was on the market must shorter than expected and I have Dawn to thank for that. She helped the closing go as smoothly and quickly as possible and even helped the buyer complete their end of the paperwork to help expedite everything. I would highly recommend working with Dawn!

ZillowVERIFIED Dawn was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire rental process. She was communicative, organized, and professional every step of the way. Her due diligence in screening tenants gave us great confidence, and she was able to find an excellent tenant and rent our home within just one week. She made the entire experience smooth and stress-free, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable real estate agent.

ZillowVERIFIED Dawn, recognized my needs in downsizing to a one level house in Glen Cove. My wife is bedridden and we needed to have a house in which she could easily access with a walker and move about indoors with the walker. She is very intuitive. We viewed a lot of listings and she persevered.

Review for Member: Dawn Costello
ZillowVERIFIED Dawn did an outstanding job helping me sell the house. She had great knowledge of the geographical area and was able to determine a reasonable market value of the house. Dawn even successfully bargained for a higher prices than we expected. I felt relaxed the entire time as Dawn kept me updated. She was very professional and added her own personal touch throughout the process. She staged the house beautifully and stepped in herself where needed.. Dawn was very friendly throughout the entire process and was active in the closing process. I felt she went beyond just selling the house-she was invested in my happiness with the sale as much as her stake in the process. If anyone is searching for a realtor I recommend Dawn Costello highly for the sale of any home!

Review for Member: Dawn Costello
ZillowVERIFIED Dawn Costello is an absolute credit to her profession and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking her expertise. I am an attorney, and have dealt with many brokers over my 30+ years of experience, both on LI and throughout NYC. I was quite fortunate to be introduced to Dawn through a client. We recently had a sale in Sea Cliff for a home belonging to a recently deceased client. It proved to be challenging on many fronts, and involved many parties with different interests and goals. Dawn was able to contend with the many disparate issues that arose, was easy to contact and eager to assist without fail. She always went the extra distance to get us to sale, even when the challenges went beyond her professional expertise. Her recommendations brought us to a quicker sale and closing, and at a significantly higher purchase price than we imagined. Most telling to me was her approach to the human side of this transaction, without which I can honestly say our deal would never have succeeded as it did. I unreservedly recommend Dawn for any and all of your real estate transaction needs.

ZillowVERIFIED I highly recommend Dawn Costello to help anyone looking to sell their property. She helped me with an estate sale on the North Shore of Long Island and made things very easy, which was critical as I live out of state. Dawn is a digital marketing whiz at marketing properties and she secured an offer above asking within a few weeks. Dawn went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly and was a pleasure to work with. She keenly understands the real estate market and shared excellent advice throughout. I am very confident you will be in great hands with Dawn. aEUR?

Review for Member: Dawn Costello
ZillowVERIFIED Dawn was INCREDIBLE. She not only helped us find a beautiful rental but when we returned to her to buy a home she helped navigate the entire process with us and was a gem from start to finish. She is the perfect balance of providing information you need to think about as well as allowing you to make decisions about homes on your own and also had a Rolodex of helpful experts, from plumbing, to legal, to movers, and home inspectors and on and on. Dawn was a one stop shop and was an unflagging advocate and guide for us throughout the entire home buying process. Beyond her expertise she also made it fun, whenever we entered a new home she always could help us imagine fun ways to use the space; truly she was a joy to house hunt with. If you want the best go with Dawn!!

Review for Member: Dawn Costello
ZillowVERIFIED Dawn was wonderful! She was incredibly helpful to my wife and I throughout the buying process. We're new to Sea Cliff and she shared a ton of local knowledge. She either knew the answer to any questions we had or would work hard to find it out for us. Dawn helped us get into the house to meet with contractors ahead of the closing and she even checked in on the property after a recent storm. Additionally, she gave us a lot of referrals for contractors, inspectors, designers, architects, etc. We would highly recommend working with Dawn. We had the good fortune to get paired up with her through Zillow months before we were ready to buy. Throughout the process, she applied little pressure while still letting us know what was new or coming to the market. She was wonderful with helping us tour homes but once we found the house, that's when she really shined. Thank you, Dawn!

Review for Member: Dawn Costello
ZillowVERIFIED I rarely write reviews, but I feel compelled to now that we're about to move into our incredible new home, secured with the support and guidance of Dawn Costello. To say that Dawn went above and beyond for us would be an understatement. We are first-time home buyers, so we were totally in the dark about so many things going into this process. Early on, Dawn was beyond patient with me in carefully addressing all of the hundred questions that I had. And when we found the home we loved, she guided us through the entire process - from offer through to closing. Every step of the way, it was evident that she genuinely cared about my family and was invested in making sure this process went extremely well for us. There were so many times Dawn went out of her way and took that extra step to help us out, I've honestly lost count. If you are looking for an absolutely first-rate real estate professional - someone who truly knows the market, with incredible work ethic, and a warm, genuine character - then you'll be so, so glad you decided to work with Dawn Costello.

Review for Member: Dawn Costello
ZillowVERIFIED Dawn is a true professional and was very easy to work with. She has a very pleasant and calm personality and wasnt at all pushy. She is truly hardworking and diligent with great attention to detail. She took great care of searching for home that would satisfy our requirements, all appointments scheduling, helped us navigate through unfamiliar neighborhoods and educated us about what each area is able to offer. She also visited the properties we werent able to see and sent us videos. Dawn was very responsive and super patient with us while we were searching for our new home. She came up with very creative ideas during the process. It was really enjoyable experience to work with Dawn and we are forever thankful to her for helping us find our perfect home. I wholeheartedly and without any hesitation recommend her to anyone searching for home.

ZillowVERIFIED Dawn could not have been more committed or supportive and we credit her entirely for helping us find our dream home. My partner and I were house hunting in the COVID era so dawn patiently helped us organized tours virtually and thoroughly understood what we were looking for which made her an excellent advocate for us. Once we decided to make an offer she made herself available for any questions we had and shared frequent updates. From start to finish, Dawn was a true professional and I will only be working with/recommending her for any real estate needs going forward.

ZillowVERIFIED I worked with Dawn Costello for close to 2 months and it was a pleasure the whole time. She helped me find the current residence of my choice. I was not an easy client. I wanted to view as many properties as possible and I found it personally difficult to come to a final decision and commit. Dawn is very knowledgeable of this geographical area - and patient, thank goodness - and, in my consideration, we have become friends. I highly recommend her in your home search.

Review for Member: Dawn Costello
ZillowVERIFIED Dawn is fantastic to work with! She brings humor, kindness, and an eye for details to her work in real estate. In searching for an apartment, she served as our biggest advocate - asking questions about properties when we forgot to, and even telling us transparently when she thought a home might not be a good fit for our needs. Dawn is clear and quick with her communications, which is essential to this work. And she has *loads* of great local recommendations!!

Review for Member: Dawn Costello
ZillowVERIFIED When I first met Dawn I knew immediately she was the person I wanted to partner with to sell my home. Even in her writing, she exudes a warmth, a very "home" like feeling. This is very much so carried through to her energy. She brings comfort, just the feeling one may want when selling and looking for a home. Through this pandemic, Dawn has held my hand through fear and concerns and has been a true partner every step of the way. Her desire to ensure we were comfortable is clearly a top priority. Even when my ex-husband and I overlooked something on the contract she called to make sure I was comfortable moving forward before she took the action that we had signed off on. I knew from the moment I met her she was the person that would sell my home to a wonderful new homeowner, and that is exactly what she did.

ZillowVERIFIED My boyfriend and I relocated to Long Island so that I could attend LIU's new vet school. Due to the pandemic, we were in a time constraint and had a quite specific wish list. Dawn is an expert about the area and scheduled us visits with a bunch a places on one Saturday that led us to find an AMAZING rental. She is super professional but also incredibly warm and generous. She is an incredibly hard worker and responded to our inquiries even while on vacation. I would not hesitate to recommend Dawn to help you find an incredible place to live in a cozy community on Long Island.

ZillowVERIFIED Dawn was extremely responsive and organized throughout the entire process- from showing different houses, to comparing the positives and negatives of each, and to conducting aEURoecompsaEUR? to see what prices were fair for the area. In addition, Dawn offered many other suggestions for next steps, including a timeline of when to meet with different parties (real estate lawyer,inspector, etc) and she helped point us in the right direction with many recommendations. Highly recommend Dawn!

Review for Member: Dawn Costello
ZillowVERIFIED Yes, I highly recommend Dawn to be anybody's realtor. She is very knowledgeable in real estate. Very kind, and supportive in helping you find the right home. She will spend hours with you in taking you to look at different homes and areas. One of Dawn's personalities that I like is that she is not pushy. For example, she will not try to push you to buy any house that you seem like you are not interested in. Hire Dawn. You will not be disappointed.
