We had the pleasure of working with Dawn Merrill as our realtor, and we couldn’t be more impressed with her professionalism, dedication, and expertise. From the very beginning, Dawn was attentive to our needs, guiding us through every step of the home-buying process with patience and clarity. She has an incredible knowledge of the market, providing valuable insights that helped us make informed decisions. What truly sets Dawn apart is her genuine care for her clients—she went above and beyond to ensure we found the perfect home, always keeping our best interests at heart. She went above and beyond to make sure we had basic needs until our belongings were delivered by the moving company. We highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a realtor who is not only skilled but also deeply committed to her clients’. Thank you, Dawn, for making our home-buying journey such a positive experience!

Four years ago, Dawn sold us our home in University Park. It was new construction and Dawn assisted from the smallest detail to advising us to increasing the size of the lanai...all excellent advise. A few short weeks ago our grown son was interested in buying a condo for himself.. and Dawn was his Realtor. Our son also thinks that the sun rises and sets with Dawn. Dawn does not disappoint!

Wow… there are not many words to describe how Dawn was as our real estate agent. If you are looking for someone who truly cares about their clients, Dawn is your agent. If you are looking for someone who searches tirelessly for the perfect house, Dawn is your agent. If you are looking for someone who will do anything possible to ensure her client is happy, Dawn is your agent. If you are looking for someone who will schedule a tour of a house despite time conflicts, Dawn is your agent. If you are looking for the best real estate agent around, Dawn is your agent. There is no one greater than Dawn.

Dawn’s experience and knowledge definitely set her apart. She guided us every step of the way through the sale of our home. She knows her stuff and we would highly recommend her to anyone needing a realtor whether buying or selling a home.

You feel comfortable with Dawn from your first conversation. She knows the market and the area very well. We were out of town buyers. Dawn found us the perfect home that fit our needs to a “T”!

I was not happy with the first 3 agents (recommended to me) who I interviewed to sell my house, so I interviewed 4 more, and picked Dawn because she had: - the second-highest recommended listing price of the 7 agents - the second-lowest budget for preparing the house for sale (only $2,500 above the lowest budget) - a proven track record of selling her listings at the listed price in under 1 week Additionally, she excelled in subjective criteria: - she was enthusiastic about selling the house - she agreed without hesitation to take care of all the details of getting the house ready for sale (more below) - she presented a great market analysis and marketing plan The agent with the highest recommended listing price, by contrast, did not seem enthusiastic about selling the house, wanted to spend a lot more to stage and prepare the house for sale, and had a track record of selling the house for 95% of listed price after a month on the market. Dawn's recommended price matched exactly 95% of the price the other agent recommended. In the end, Dawn listed the house on a Sunday and we received and accepted a cash offer at the listing price on Tuesday, 2 days later. Once again, she sold the house at the listed price in under a week. And remember, this was not a lowball "priced to sell" price, this price was higher than 5 of the 6 other agents wanted to list at, and none of the other agents expected to sell above their listing price. On top of all the objective criteria and results, Dawn was highly competent and a pleasure to work with. I explained to all the agents that my plan was to empty the house and leave Florida, never to return. Once the house was emptied, I expected the agents to handle all the remaining prep work, including selecting and engaging vendors, providing them access to the property, and overseeing and verifying their work. All I was going to do was write checks. Dawn agreed to do that and did a great job, to my great relief. Highly recommended.

Dawn’s in depth knowledge of the market area and ability to navigate a tough market was invaluable for me. Buying a home in this very difficult seller’s market was a huge challenge and Dawn saw me through it to the end. Her knowledge and expertise allowed me to secure a home and her professionalism was a rock I could lean against throughout this entire process. She’s one of the best realtors I have ever dealt with over the years.

I cannot say enough good things about Dawn! She had impeccable talents and skills at knowing what worked and what did not to sell my home expediently. Her advice led my home to being listed and taken off the market within 8 hours & with 8 offers. Her attention to detail made this entire situation as stress-free as it could possibly be. You won’t regret her as your agent. You can worry about other things while she handled the sale of your home or to buy one! Thank you, Dawn! 🙏🤩💜

Dawn has a tremendous amount of knowledge about the Sarasota area, quality of homes and locations. She helped us find our new home as well as selling our existing home in a very timely manner. Her team is the most professional we have ever worked with in real estate. We highly recommend Dawn Merrill!

We first met dawn when we bought our home and she was the sellers agent. She impressed us the with her professionalism We decided to sell our new home and hired dawn to represent us. She priced it correctly and we went under contract in one day. We were out of town sellers and dawn took care of all of the details. She is a real pro. We highly recommend her and would certainly use her again.

I would definitely recommend Dawn Merrill and her team! This was not my first selling of a home but this was the first time I really felt that the agent really had a plan right from the start. Dawn and her team came to my home and provided me with very helpful information that would benefit the best sale, not just for them but for me. She put my goals and interests first. She spent time in my home, going over every detail, noting the unique features, so that she could best relay these features to perspective clients. She suggested improvements that would best stand out and attract a large majority of clients. Dawn not only offered ways to help my home sell, she assisted by sending me contacts - painters, appraisers and a handyman. This not only made the process easier on me but it also helped move everything along quicker and more efficiently. Selling a home can be stressful but Dawn assured me that she would sell my home in a matter of weeks and she did! Even as we dealt with the paper work, contract signing, etc. I did not feel like I was working with a realtor, I felt like I was working with a friend. Thanks for helping me sell my house!

Wonderful! She was very easy to work with
