Client Testimonials

The thought of selling our home after 26 years was a formidable one. There was REAL history behind this extraordinary property, going back well over a century. It became a true labor of love as we brought both the house and land into the 21st century while, at the same time, honoring the significance of its past. When we met Dawn Hadley for the first time and explained our thoughts, she clearly understood how difficult a process this transaction would be for us, but she never batted an eye! She immediately realized the need to tread carefully as she guided us through this daunting decision of ours. It must have been even more daunting because this was truly NOT going to be your “typical” real estate transaction! We very soon discovered what kind of realtor Dawn was! She clearly knew her stuff! Throughout this entire process, she listened carefully to our questions and worked relentlessly to put the pieces of our historical puzzle together. She was undeterred by my initial trepidation and won us both over by her knowledge and understanding of her business. Whenever a decision needed to be made, Dawn always took the time to explain her thoughts and the reasons behind them. We never felt as though she was too busy to respond immediately. The sale has just gone through and, by the time this happened, Dawn had introduced us to the most perfect family who showed that they cared enough about all the things we had worried over. We feel happy knowing that their three children will have as much fun exploring this special place as our children did. I am indebted to Dawn for her exuberant personality (very contagious), commitment to our goals, and patience whenever it was called for. We truly couldn’t have been in better hands!

We truly couldn’t have been in better hands!

I recently worked with Dawn to help list and sell my house in Duxbury. The market has been tough with more inventory available and properties stagnating due to inflated prices and an uncertain economy. Despite these headwinds, Dawn did a fantastic job of navigating a multi offer situation and negotiating an above asking price for the property. Within days the house was off the market and sale completed! Dawn has great local knowledge and takes exceptional care of her clients.

Great local knowledge and exceptional care

After over a year of showing us homes in this crazy market; we finally found the house of our dreams! Throughout the process of bidding on multiple homes and struggling to stay positive, Dawn assured us the right house would come along. Our expectations dropped, we began making concessions and Dawn kept us on the right path. She reminded us why we sold our home, what we wanted in a new home and where we wanted our new home to be. Her upbeat, calming demeanor was reassuring throughout the entire process. Dawn invests the time to get to know you and your family. She has the experience and knowledge to find you the home of your dreams. There are a lot of realtors on the south shore, but Dawn truly cares about her clients and takes you to the finish line and beyond. You will not be disappointed!!!
