About Dawne

Buying or selling a home in Gainesville and Alachua County, FL isn't just a transaction… it's a series of decisions that can impact your finances, your lifestyle, and your future for years to come. I'm Dawne Nuri, a Realtor with Florida Homes Realty & Mortgage. My real estate background goes back to 1987, including commercial leasing and sales earlier in my career, with more than 20 years now focused on helping residential buyers and sellers in Gainesville and throughout Alachua County. Having relocated many times myself, I know what those moves ask of you, coming and going. My goal is to help you move forward with clarity, not pressure… because good decisions rarely come from urgency. They come from understanding your options and choosing what truly fits. Every neighborhood here moves a little differently. Buyer behavior can shift. Timing matters. And the details inside a contract often matter just as much as the price. My role is to help you see the full picture so you can move forward confidently, whether you're buying your first home, relocating to the area, selling a longtime family home, downsizing, or helping a parent through a sale. I serve Gainesville, Newberry, Alachua, Micanopy, High Springs, and the surrounding Alachua County communities. If you're looking for straightforward guidance, honest insight, and someone who will help you think through the process rather than rush it… I'm here to help. You can learn more at mygainesvillehome.com.

Worked hard to find exactly what I wanted

Tamara knew what I was looking for because she was genuinely interested in making me happy to find the Home that I wanted. She has great communication skills motivated to find the perfect place, very professional , very prompt in replying with any questions or if we wanted to see a house, she worked on it immediately. Then when meeting for the closing, It was absolutely flawless. I highly recommend her. She made buying this house a very pleasant experience. One last thing, even after our house was purchased and we were moved in. She followed through to make sure we were happy and made sure that we did not need anything else which we did need help in one area and she was right there to help us, to see that we were able to be in contact with our builder. She is a Five star!

Professionalism at it finest

My husband and I just purchased our first home here in Gainesville, FL. We were truly blessed to be connected with Phoenicha as our realtor. We connected with her at our very first meeting. She was not only professional, but very personable, relatable, knowledgeable and very thorough. She is just a genuinely good spirit. She was always responsive when we had any questions and always stayed on top of anything needed to move us closer to obtaining our dream home. We had started the journey in pursuit of a different home, but due to the agent that we were dealing with and HIS lack of professionalism, we did not move forward with that home. To be honest, that was truly a blessing, but we did not give up and at the end of the day, that was not our home. However, Ms. Phoenicha kept it moving and stayed positive and we were directed to the home that we purchased, which by far, exceeded our expectations. It had everything we needed and wanted (we know that God was in this process too). The process leading up to signing the paperwork was so smooth, it felt unreal. I recommend Phoenicha Thorpe to ANYONE that needs a realtor. She not only became our realtor, but she became family, for life.

Focus and smooth process

A very solid experience overall! My realtor was highly competent and helped me successfully sell my house. She was straightforward, managed the details well, and got the house sold without any major hiccups. If you need an agent who will get the job done right, she is a great choice."

Von 4 Immobilienmaklern, mit denen wir über die Jahre in Florida zu tun hatten, sticht Alena Knöpfle

Von 4 Immobilienmaklern, mit denen wir über die Jahre in Florida zu tun hatten, sticht Alena Knöpfler klar heraus! Was macht sie besonders, vor allem für jene, die zum ersten Mal in USA Immobilien kaufen oder verkaufen wollen? Sie erklärt Abläufe, anfallende Kosten und letztlich Dokumente geduldig und nachvollziehbar, sodass man immer weiß, wo man steht, was man unterschreibt und ganz allgemein wie Immobiliengeschäfte in USA ablaufen (rechtliche und steuerliche Aspekte). Full Service-Paket und Feel Good-Betreuung vom Feinsten, Alena, wir werden jedenfalls gerne wieder mit Ihnen zusammenarbeiten! PS: Und sie überzeugt natürlich auch durch nachhaltige Resultate... (Translated by Google) Of the four real estate agents we've worked with in Florida over the years, Alena Knöpfler clearly stands out! What makes her so special, especially for those buying or selling property in the US for the first time? She patiently and clearly explains processes, costs, and documents, ensuring you always know where you stand, what you're signing, and how real estate transactions in the US generally work (legal and tax aspects). A top-notch full-service package and exceptional customer care—Alena, we'll definitely be working with you again! P.S.: And of course, she also delivers lasting results...

Nothing less than Amazing!!

We have used Dawne to sell multiple properties in and around Gainesville, and she never ceases to amaze us. For our most recent closing, her marketing was next level and the video and niche advertising were so effective she actually found our buyer all the way in Pennsylvania! Dawne always makes a complex process feel easy and we couldn't be more grateful for her expertise. I do not hesitate to recommend her if you are buying or selling property in or around Gainesville, FL.

Excellent job!!!

I spoke with several real estate agents before choosing Tamara Nelson, whose professionalism, experience, and thoughtful suggestions stood out. Thanks to her strategy, my home sold in the first week, and the closing process was quick and seamless. Tamara kept me informed from start to finish and was truly a joy to work with. I highly recommend her for any real estate needs.
