Over the years, Dawn has helped buyers, sellers, estates, and investors realize their real estate goals. She works with out-of-town clients, clients looking for second homes, and people with lots of cash but no idea what to do with the Seattle market. But mostly? She works with friends, family, and co-workers of former clients. Once you work with Dawn, you wish that experience for those you care about.
Here is what people have to say about working with Dawn on one of the most important transactions of their lives:
Dawn is a consummate real estate professional. She has extensive knowledge of the West Seattle neighborhoods where we focused. From search to signing, she was in control of the many details, prompting us at the right times, always discrete. We love our house and sincerely value her recommendations that helped assess the relative aspects of value in each listing we reviewed. As someone who has experience with renovations, she can readily point out overlooked qualities in a potential purchase as well as problems, big and small. She has great contacts in the industry from lenders (her recommendation saved us a bundle) to drain cleaners, as well as all the services required for inspection. Big thumbs up!” – Tom & Bonney
Dawn has walked us through two home purchases and one sale. She is professional, kind, knowledgeable, and a tireless advocate for her clients. She knows the market well, and treats you like you are her only client.” – Joseph & Kathleen
Dawn Nelson is an efficient, enthusiastic and knowledgeable real estate professional who takes charge and follows through with every detail. She assessed what needed to be done prior to listing, organized all the work, and got the house on the market quickly. My house sold in one day, well over the asking price. The money from the sale was in my account within a month. The amazing thing is that I was not even in the country! All papers that needed signing were sent via email making it very simple and stress free to sell my house even though I was literally on the other side of the world. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is truly amazing.” – Sheila
Dawn helped us sell our house in a few days, with multiple competing offers, in a down market. She made herself intimately familiar with every house on the market in our Capitol Hill neighborhood, did a sophisticated pricing analysis, and helped us prioritize improvements that would make us the most competitive offering. She staged the house with a combo of our things and hers, and then photographed the house beautifully for a great online and print presentation. When it came down to negotiations Dawn was cool as a cucumber, providing tremendous emotional support and business savvy. She managed every bit of the process like a marvelous machine. I knew every last thing was covered. And then? She helped us negotiate the purchase of a gorgeous waterfront home on Vashon Island. An office of agents trained and managed by Dawn would be a force.” – Jane & Max
Dawn Nelson is hands-down the most professional, responsive, talented, caring agent I’ve ever worked with. It’s no wonder she’s so busy and earns the five-star award year after year – she is a gem and I trust her implicitly. Both the purchase of this home and now the sale were flawless, seamless, impeccable. Not one ounce of stress for me as a buyer or seller. Thanks, Dawn!!” – Nicole
Dawn was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She thoroughly researched the market prior to pricing our house, made invaluable suggestions about preparing the house for sale, responded to our inquiries thoroughly and promptly, and was sensitive to our needs throughout the entire process. She handled the many details of closing with great skill. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs to sell a house quickly and painlessly.” – Steve & Susan
Really appreciated Dawn’s calm between the storms of selling a home in this market. Dawn was a first rate negotiator and made it possible for us to purchase the home we bought as well as sell the home we sold.” – Pam & Raul
Dawn did an incredible job of helping us sell our home. When we became wary of the buyer’s continued requests for extensions, Dawn arranged alternative buyers that would have allowed us to potentially come out slightly ahead financially! Dawn’s rapid/exceptional communication is awesome and she will fight to get you a price you are very happy with. Her knowledge of the Seattle market is impeccable and she is very familiar with all the players in the market. Highly recommend. We will use her for our next purchase.” – Kari & Jay Hilwig
Fabulous! Thank you so much for presenting my home in the best possible light and for making this so easy on me. Everything looks great and all your wonderful staging will be maintained in the best possible condition. The photos and virtual tour are better than I could have hoped for. You are real estate rock stars! Let the bidding war begin.” – Craig
Thanks again, Dawn! There is just no end to your services and kindness.” – Cathy & Tom
Dawn Nelson was recommended to us by our mortgage broker Carrie Mandich. She helped us sell our home (it was listed less than a week!) as well as purchase a new home. Dawn has a great eye for detail and did a wonderful job staging our home to sell it. She worked around our schedules and made things happen in a timely manner without being pushy. She is upbeat and positive, knowledgeable and incredibly hard working. When we did find the house we love, she made it happen. Did I mention she got married in the middle of all this? She had other clients as well as us, and her own wedding to attend to, but we always felt we were receiving her utmost effort and care. She is the perfect blend of friendly and professional.” – Heather
Before hiring Dawn, my wife and I were weary from every phase and aspect of a long, unsuccessful attempt to sell our home and move our family into a new home. Dawn brought an extraordinary expertise and charm to the task. She was terrific at every step and in every possible way.” – Steve
Thank you so much for showing enthusiasm and support for my first home-buying purchase! You were with me every step of the way!” – Katherine
Dawn worked with us for several months to help us find just the right house for our needs. She has the patience of a saint. She stayed energized and kept us on track the whole way. When we found the right place, she helped us make a competitive offer on a short time frame. And we got the house! Dawn also sold our old home, helping us decide what things to fix up before selling and how to price it. Her careful market analysis allowed us to sell the house for at least $15,000 more than we had hoped. We loved working with Dawn and would recommend her without reservation.” – Amy & Byron
Dawn was terrific. She did a fantastic job of staging my late aunt’s condo, developing marketing materials, and keeping me fully informed.” – Ruth
Thank you so much for the personal attention and wonderful service you provided in selling Rich’s house in Tacoma. These are challenging economic times, and your finely tuned marketing skills generated the prospects to complete the sale in record time. I value your many talents and am grateful for all the extra services you added. I’ve spread the word how much I appreciated working with you. We wish you much continued success in the years ahead, Dawn.” – Tom
I have bought and sold several homes over the years and I have to say that working with Dawn Nelson was not only a pleasure but it was painless. I had some nervousness with both buying my new home and selling my existing property because of the time of year but Dawn was so professional, thought of every detail and helped to coordinate a successful selling and buying experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is considering buying or selling a home.” – Chiemi
Dawn, Was the best agent I’ve every worked with. She was both my selling and buying agent. She was professional, knowledgeable and responsive. Her excellent customer service made me feel like I was her only client. You’re in good hands with Dawn as your agent. She goes above and beyond looking out for her clients.” – Pat
