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!
