"Saying these six little words was the scariest, and yet most exciting, sentence that has ever left my mouth: “I want to make an offer!” After all was said and done, I am ever so grateful that guiding me through the process was Dawna Davies of Davies Company and her assistant Rachel—What a team! I don’t usually write reviews however at this time, with my experience of going through the ups and downs of the home buying process, I felt compelled to share my experience with the Davies Company. Home buying could be considered one of the most stressful times of anyone’s life—at least it was for me. Not knowing the process, and going through the surprises (believe me there are many) or simply “the unknowns”, I am grateful that I was in capable hands. Dawna guided me throughout the various stages of the home buying process. The first meeting with Dawna was essentially getting to know one another. At first hello, I gathered that this would be more than just a transactional process for her. I was impressed with the care she took with me. It “mattered” to her and I believed that I was more than just a number, compared to some other realtors, who would have gotten the deal done and moved on to the next client, without my best interests at heart. I have been so lucky to have partnered with Dawna for the search of my house. When I came face to face with difficult decisions (offers, counter-offers, seller delays, misinformation, etc. ), Dawna was there, armed with her years of expertise, and always on the ready with possible options or solutions that we could take to respond to the seller. We had to make decisions late in the evening; she made herself available, even with my hectic schedule. One of the most crucial points that stands out about the Davies Company: I never wondered about what was happening or got left in limbo. I never felt I was under-informed. I was kept in the loop with news and updates, whether it was a quick call, text or email. Follow-up with Rachel, with all the “endless” paperwork and signatures, was seamless. This is so valuable because it eased my stress level. Knowing where I was in the process was so important, and Dawna and Rachel knew that. Equally as impressive, days after we closed escrow, Dawna still came to my rescue. I had an issue right after I moved into my new house. She could have told me to call a handyman. However, she didn’t. She came over and together we fixed the issue. This is what I meant by the relationship not being tied to one transaction. It’s like I gained a friend forever. I want to express my complete gratitude for the care that Dawna Davies and Rachel Metzger took with the buying of my first home. It is a scary prospect for anyone, but if you have the right partner to conquer this goal, then you’re in great hands. Guess who I will be calling, if the time ever comes that I need to sell my home?"
