FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Persistence - in this market keep an open mind and be ready to make the best offer possible. We help structure offers so that buyers are competitive in today's market.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
Make your home shine and hire an agent who will market and highlight your home. Even in this sellers market it pays to upgrade where possible.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
Really we work with all types of buyers and sellers and try to help give them the upper hand.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
Buyers who were also sellers in the past (have sold or purchased 4 homes with me). We wrote 9 offers before we finally had one accepted. Competing against multiple cash offers and my buyers were using their VA benefit. I believe that this house was "meant to be." It is a perfect home for them and we were able to structure the offer so it appealed to the seller even though they did have higher cash offers. Happy that they finally found their forever home!
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
Prior to selling real estate I was a real estate paralegal; handling all phases of the real estate process from processing to closing and final title policy. When my children were starting school I wanted to do something that offered flexibility and work with people on a more personal level. My husband and I had purchased several homes and multiple moves through other states and I enjoyed the process and final results. I wanted to share what I had learned with other buyers and sellers.
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
I have several designations along with my degree in Paralegal Studies. I coach with top real estate coach, Tom Ferry, and continue to learn and grow to provide my customers with the best possible service throughout the selling or buying process. Also, one of the reasons I joined RE/MAX is because of their excellent training and support.

SHORT VERSION: Don't use anyone but Dawn to help you buy or sell a house, period.EXTENDED VERSION:"Five Stars" are nice, but they don't tell how good a real estate agent REALLY is - the proof of that is in RESULTS - and ours were the BEST.Dawn was professional and friendly - many agents aren't! Dawn helped us price our house much higher than other agents had suggested - more per square foot than any of the properties in our development and more than $10,000 higher than experienced "experts" on home prices in our area. Dawn did extensive homework on the "comps" (the REAL comps) and, just as importantly, took into account all of the upgrades and maintenance we had done to our house over the years. We took Dawn's advice on pricing - and it PAID OFF BIG. Dawn also expertly staged our house for maximum impact on potential buyers - which we could not have figured out how to do. Her experience loomed large in this area.Results? Full price offer on the first day on the market - within two hours after the first buyer saw the house. Closing was quick and smooth. No waiting for months for an offer that you had to negotiate after scores of "buyers" trampled through your house. Dawn also recommended a mover who turned out to be the best mover I've used in over 50 years of moving around the country MANY times. It couldn't have gone better!Two other key points:Dawn is part of the RE/MAX organization - a highly professional, experienced and successful organization - perhaps the best there is, in my opinion. That affiliation helped make it possible for Dawn to deliver top quality results. Last, but not least, Dawn has superior personnel on her staff who made everything move to the closing AHEAD OF SCHEDULE, smoothly and efficiently. Her assistant, Jill Rowland, is a true gem. Her attention to the many details and requirements needed to make the sale and closing go smoothly is remarkable. After witnessing her efforts and the way she and Dawn worked as a team, I appreciate so much more now the amount of hard (and smart) work involved in the purchase and sale of real estate.
