"When we decided it was time to sell our place after 11 years, we engaged Dawn’s services. As Canadians and our first US property, we recognized there would be many moving parts. Dawn not only met our expectations but greatly exceeded them. We had requested a strong price and wanted to move our place quickly. We received an offer within a week of listing and in excess of our list price. Dawn provided all the right connections to make the sale organized and seamless. Her knowledge of the marketplace was exceptional. Throughout the process Dawn was professional, knowledgeable, passionate and energetic which was infectious. We couldn’t be more pleased with her representation and would highly recommend her." - Timothy

"We absolutely loved working with Dawn when purchasing our new Florida home. Her knowledge and expertise in the Sarasota area was truly extraordinary and beneficial to us. We were thousands of miles away, but she was always available to answer any of our questions or address any issues. We have recommended Dawn to our friends, and she has helped them find their dream home as well. Dawn has become a great friend to our family. We highly recommend her for any real estate needs. She will exceed your expectations!" - Steve

"Dawn Merrill is an outstanding real estate agent to work with. She is a skilled listener and negotiator, with very in-depth knowledge of the market. I have purchased, sold, and purchased homes in the past 3 years with Dawn. Each of these transactions was made exciting, easy, and stress free. Dawn is capable, confident, caring, and a great negotiator. Without doubt, we would seek her for any real estate transaction in the future." - Vera

★★★★★
"The right lady for the sale of my home!I cannot say enough good things about Dawn! She had impeccable talents and skills at knowing what worked and what did not to sell my home expediently. Her advice led my home to being listed and taken off the market within 8 hours & with 8 offers. Her attention to detail made this entire situation as stress-free as it could possibly be. You won’t regret her as your agent. You can worry about other things while she handled the sale of your home or to buy one! Thank you, Dawn!" - Kris

Her business knowledge paired with her extensive background in luxury design and custom home construction is what makes her a leader as a licensed Realtor.

Her work ethic and talent has earned her several awards and accolades, including being ranked in the top 1.5% of realtors in the US for small teams by volume in 2021 by Real Trends and multiple Platinum Sales Awards from the Manatee-Sarasota Building Industry Association.
