Dawna was wonderful! She is very patient, and takes her time to explain the process and concepts that are foreign to those not familiar with the real estate realm. One of the things that I really appreciate about her is that Dawna is very proactive. Prior to the listing, she recommended various actions that helped to promote the property which also made the sale process to go smoothly. Besides her professional knowledge, she is a good person. That made the whole experience even better. We cannot thank her enough!
