Bringing you the latest in Real Estate news and information.
Dawn DeFord is an amazing realtor! Dawn helped me and my husband buy our very first home together. She always made the drive to take us to each home we sought out and available to answer any questions we had throughout the entire buying process. I appreciate her attention to detail and her commitment to us as her clients. You won’t regret having her help you buy a home!
Dawn DeFord isn't just our real estate agent - she's been a family friend for as long as we can remember. Over the years, she's helped us navigate three significant property transactions, and each time, she's proven why she's not only a great friend but also an exceptional real estate professional. Our journey with Dawn in real estate began when we bought our first home. As newcomers to the market, we appreciated her patience and guidance. When it was time to sell that house, Dawn was there again, making the process smooth and stress-free. Now, she's helped us find our forever home, and we couldn't be more grateful. What makes Dawn stand out is her unwavering commitment. During our recent house hunt, the market was challenging, and we nearly lost hope. But Dawn persisted. She kept a constant eye out for properties that matched our needs, always staying ahead of the market trends. Though we had long ago put our search on hold, Dawn had not. She found us the perfect home - a place where we can create lasting memories and watch our grandchildren grow up. Dawn's deep understanding of the Arizona market, combined with her patience and determination, made all the difference in our home-buying experience. It's clear that she's not just focused on closing a deal; she genuinely cares about finding the right home for her clients. One of Dawn's most valuable qualities is her ability to keep everyone honest and focused throughout the entire process. Her straightforward approach and clear communication ensure that all parties stay on track, preventing misunderstandings and keeping the transaction smooth from start to finish. Another significant advantage of working with Dawn is the network of professionals she brings to the table. Throughout our transactions, we've been consistently impressed by the caliber of people Dawn connects us with - from home inspectors to mortgage brokers. It's evident that good people gravitate towards other good people, and Dawn's network reflects her own high standards of integrity and professionalism. If you're looking for a real estate agent who goes above and beyond, who persists even when things get tough, and who truly listens to your needs, we wholeheartedly recommend Dawn DeFord. Her professional expertise, coupled with her personal touch, commitment to integrity, and valuable network of trusted professionals, makes her an invaluable partner in any real estate transaction. We're incredibly thankful for Dawn's hard work and couldn't be happier with the results. It's been a joy to work with a trusted friend who also happens to be an outstanding real estate agent.
Dawn, I want to thank you for all the ways you supported me throughout the process of selling my house. This was a huge project for me and the undertaking of it at this time in my life was frankly a bit daunting. I so appreciated your help in preparing my home, so it was ready to sell. The pictures you had taken were stunning and the only unfortunate thing (for me) was the fact that it sold in four days and my new home was not quite ready. I would feel confident recommending you to anyone who wanted to feel well taken care of whether selling and/or buying.
We came to Arizona looking for a home near Flagstaff. That attempt failed and I panicked knowing I only had a few days to find a home. After visiting for a couple of days we decided that we would try to find a home in the Anthem area. It was now hours before our return flight to California. We got in touch with Dawn through a listing and man did she go to work! She is a professional as well as warm and caring. I’ve never seen a more aggressive outgoing agent. When Dawn takes you on as a client her ultimate goal is customer satisfaction. We had to leave before we found the perfect home but she kept working, and the next day she had listings for us and set out to video properties. She found us a wonderful home and worked with the other agent and owner to secure it for us. She was there for us when we walked in the front door and walked us through the home to make sure we were happy with this choice. About a week after we had moved in, issues came up with the owner, and just when other agents would have walked and left you hanging, our “bull dog” went to work. She demanded the owner take responsibility for his property and be on the up and up with us. She will not let you down. I have never been more satisfied with an agent in my life. You’re the best Dawn!!
My recommendation: Dawn was a great realtor to work with. She went the extra mile for us when selling our home from out of state. She went to the property a number of times to deal with things that due to distance we were unable to do. Our home sold extremely fast and it sold for ABOVE our asking price! I couldn't have asked for a better experience in selling our home than the experience we had with Dawn.
We are beyond thankful to have Dawn as our real estate agent. While searching through potential homes, Dawn was very attentive to the details of wants and needs. She scheduled times that worked best for us and drove across the Valley to meet our needs. Being first time home buyers, we had plenty of questions and Dawn was always on point getting answers and provided facts plus any additional helpful information. We highly recommend Dawn, she gave us first class service and helped make our first-time purchase feel flawless. Also, Dawn did a great job negotiating the price that fits our budget and made sure we were fully satisfied. Talk about delivering world class service! Thank you, Dawn for helping our family get our dream home!
My husband and I worked with Dawn DeFord to purchase our home in November 2015. Dawn made sure that we had a positive and enjoyable experience throughout the entire process of buying our home. Dawn is professional, knowledgeable, personable, and incredibly generous with her time and resources. She went out of her way to make sure all our questions were answered and explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. Buying a home can often be stressful, however, working with Dawn made it as positive an experience as possible because we knew she always had our best interests as her top priority. We really can't say enough positive things about her and her work ethic. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to list or purchase a home!
This is a shout out for Dawn DeFord- The best realtor we know in Arizona. Recently my mother decided to sell her home in northwest Phoenix and move to Portland, Oregon. After asking around we received a glowing recommendation from a family friend to call Dawn. Dawn and I met and after a 20-minute conversation the decision was made. Based on this interview it was clear that Dawn was professional, an expert in her field, and had numerous successes selling homes at or above current market prices. We had many roadblocks selling an older home and every obstacle we encountered, Dawn had at least 5 professionals that were willing to give us free estimates. Selling a home can be stressful however our experience with Dawn was smooth and the home sold in less than 2 weeks at asking price. I can go on and on about Dawn’s commitment to selling a house, for example: the professional pictures she had her team take of the home, her involvement every step of the process to ensure that were informed of offers, a website that let us see when the showing appointments were scheduled, and her overall demeanor and availability. I am sure many professionals have positive testimonials acclaiming a person’s profession talents and successes. So here you have another one that is written honestly and is heartfelt. We can never thank Dawn enough for selling my mother’s home and her involvement in the process. We highly recommend Dawn and if you do use her, you will be as grateful as we are.
I recently closed a deal in selling a home I owned in the Phoenix metro area after moving to Prescott. Dawn DeFord was my agent. She went above and beyond to help with this sale. After she did the comps of recently sold homes in the area, she decided on an asking price which I thought might have been high. Within hours of the house going on the market there were three offers. Dawn kept me informed at all stages of this process and after accepting one of the offers which was way over the asking price, she advertised it at. Dawn immediately began the process of the sale. Dawn kept me informed and sent me anything I needed to sign electronically. After everything was set, she drove to Prescott to be present at the signing, which was not a requirement, but she wanted to make sure I understood everything I was signing. The fact she was willing to drive 200 miles to be present at the signing says a lot about her work ethic. I would recommend her to anyone buying or selling property.
Dawn is absolutely the best! She is wonderful to work with. She really cares and goes above and beyond. She was thorough and professional. Plus, she stayed on top of the communication, and we knew she had our best interest at heart when negotiating. She was a true advocate and exceeded our expectations when selling our house. Hands down we would highly recommend her services. We really appreciate all she did for us!
Dawn is always committed to offering the highest quality representation and professionalism along with superb customer service. Thank you for empowering me in making an informed decision when it comes to my home purchase.
