There is nothing better than receiving sincere thanks from my clients for a job well done. Some of my clients have shared their thoughts with you below.

Dawn is professional and precise in her approach with precision. She is tactically and forward looking approach to her task. Communicate only when it is necessary and ensuring not to give the wrong impression. In addition. Dawn is relatable and flexible in dealing with customers, like myself, with complicated and inflexible daily schedule. The electronic tools provided were extremely useful in the whole process. No communication with her went un-responded to.

Dawn made buying our first home a breeze. She guided us through the entire process and managed all parties involved to make sure we got to the closing with no drama. She was always available when we needed her or had a question and she always followed up if there was anything that needed chasing. We can’t recommend her highly enough. Thanks Dawn, it was a pleasure!

Dawn is a great professional. I was a first time home buyer and she totally guided me through the whole process. I would definitely recommend her to potential buyers.

Dawn was wonderful!!! She was patient, kind and caring. She pointed out things in homes that we had missed and that would have negatively affected us down the road had we purchased the house. She was always positive and neutral when my husband and I disagreed on houses we walked thru. I consider Dawn a friend now!

Dawn’s the best! When the first house fell through and I had 19 days to find a home, Dawn delivered! She remained calm and professional and worked tirelessly to accelerate the appraisal, inspection and negotiations. I highly recommend her for her knowledge of the market and her ability to deliver!

Dawn helped me greatly in finding my first house. She was very detailed in her approach on showing me the homes that would fulfill my needs. I would highly recommend her in finding a home.

Dawn. Your service as a realtor is unsurpassed. Thank you ever so much for helping the Trust to procure and obtain a stable property. I am a realtor in Virginia and Florida. I have had a few transactions and I can see your client oriented method to assist your clients. As a realtor I hope to copy your personal and detailed methods for my clients. Some other realtors find it funny that, since I am a realtor, I don’t work my own deals. Well, I look at self representation as if I were a brain surgeon operating on themselves. Impossible because another professional will always provide better recommendations and service. I cannot wait to put another deal through you. Thank you so much.

My husband and I happened upon Dawn Ernst-Smith quite by accident when we were both selling our home and seeking a transitional rental property. It was the most fortuitous accident I could have asked for. Dawn is not only a top notch professional realtor, she is the sweetest, kindest and most patient woman you could meet. The sale of our home was already listed with another realtor and was taking some time. Dawn kept in touch with us by e mail and text offering rental properties for us to consider so that we would be ready and our move would be smooth and seamless. She took us to several properties that offered a variety of options and met our lofty must have list. Dawn was extremely well informed on associated subjects like basic home construction which allowed us to review properties confidently. When it came time to sign a lease Dawn reviewed every document and was again very learned in the entire process. She exudes confidence in an unassuming manner and is a true pleasure to work with. She was expedient in all her written and verbal communications to us and to the property management company on our behalf. Dawn patiently spent four plus hours doing a walk through of the rental property with me. Her patience and knowledge as we reviewed the condition of the property was unparalleled and she also helped me navigate the tedious paperwork that was due to the property management company. Through the entire process Dawn calmly provided insightful advice, a critical eye and helping hands. She made me feel like family. I will remain in touch with Dawn not because I need a realtor at this point but because I admire her I truly like and trust her and want to count her in

Dawn Ernst-Smith is not only a remarkable real estate agent but also an extraordinary professional. I've worked with Dawn twice to locate two properties in an abbreviated period of time. Not only was she expedient in her written and verbal responses but the housing options she provided consistently exceeded my lofty expectations. Her patience was also unparalleled as she helped me navigate the tedious paperwork of contracting a new home, and her answers were as bountiful as the questions I had about closing an expensive deal. Moreover, Dawn lobbied on my behalf as a trusted agent never wavering in her negotiating prowess; because of her my monthly housing expenses are within my modest budget. Finally, it's important I properly contextualize how she treats her customers like family. As I prepared to vacate a rental unit previously secured by Dawn, she provided insightful advice, a critical eye and helping hands. Were it not for her, I could not unashamedly solicit my security deposit; with her guidance, my rental unit was restored to its original state. There is no other agent I trust more than Dawn, without hesitation I recommend her highly!
