Personal Profile
I'm proud to call DeKalb County home. Having grown up in a rural, DeKalb County farming community, then moving to the City of DeKalb to raise my family, I bring deep local knowledge and strong community connections to my work. My journey in real estate began in 2004, following a rewarding 19-year career in the banking industry, where I served DeKalb County and surrounding communities in operations management and residential lending. That experience gave me a strong foundation in loan origination, underwriting, and servicing knowledge that continues to benefit my clients as they navigate the buying and selling process. Real estate quickly grew from a career change into my true passion. Since earning my license, I've had the privilege of guiding hundreds of individuals and families through some of life's biggest transitions whether purchasing a first home, expanding an investment portfolio, or selling a property filled with memories. Today, as a REALTOR and Designated Managing Broker, I balance my role as a top-producing agent with the responsibility of leading a team of agents. I approach every client relationship and every leadership opportunity with the same values: honesty, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to results. Whether you're a first time buyer, seasoned investor, or a fellow agent looking for guidance in your career, I'd be honored to be a trusted resource for you.

Buyer reviewDawn has been our realtor for many years and for numerous property transactions. She has represented us when both selling and purchasing propeties. We are always impressed with her dedication! She represents the real esetate industry and her clients exceptionally well! We recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell!
-
Seller reviewDawn always goes above and beyond when listing one of my houses. She is extremely knowledgeable, fair, helpful and communicates extremely well. She is always easy to get ahold of and is dedicated to her work. It's always a pleasure working with Dawn!
-
Seller reviewDawn was patient, sympathetic and concerned. Our property was listed at a less than optimal time of year and two buyers were unable to obtain financing, factors which delayed the sale. In spite of this, Dawn was persistent in the pursuit of buyers and always available, answering calls and messages promptly. Her knowledge of the market and the technical/legal aspects of real estate seemed solid. She seemed to rely heavily on agents operating through multiple listings and had few of her own clients. However, the final result was excellent and we recommend her.
-
Buyer reviewDawn was wonderful. She was patient with us as we searched for our perfect house. She was flexible if our wants or needs changed along the way, had quick, clear communication, and always available when we wanted to see a home. She cared about us as people and learned/values what we were looking for. She always had our best interest in mind!
-
Buyer reviewDawn does a wondeful job with every property we have listed or purchased through her. We could not rercommend her enough. Her knowledge of local markets is second to none, and she goes above and beyond. She has a work ethic for her clients that anyone is fortunate to have advocating on their behalf.
-
Seller reviewDawn's personality and accessibility was so appreciated. Her knowledge of "smaller" house market and also being a resident of this community made the sale of our rental property smooth. Definitely an all star!
