Satisfied Clients who sold their house with the Dawn Nowak Team!   “Dawn and her team were superb. She gave us so many resources to help us get our house ready to sell and answered any questions we had, regardless of the time of day! She and her team worked tirelessly and we were able to sell the home at one of the highest prices for the Berkshire complex! She's always willing to lend a hand, break things down in language that makes sense, and she worked with us to make sure we were happy with each step of the process. We could not recommend her and her team more!! Will use her team again if we ever need to sell again!” - Muralee   “Dawn spent a great deal of time advising me on how to get my condo ready to show. She and her team guided me through the process of selling and always responded quickly to any questions or concerns I had. And I ended up with a better deal than I had originally hoped for. Would highly recommend.” - Tom Laiosa   “Dawn and her team were incredible partners during the sale of my mother’s property.  Selling a house can be stressful - doing so for an ailing family member while living out of state and using a POA can take it to a whole new level.  The communication was excellent, the process efficient, and at all steps along the way our questions and concerns were addressed.  Thanks Dawn!!” - Shannon Tom Hayes   Thank you Dawn Nowak and team! Dawn was able to help me sell my home quickly from another state. Dawn was really responsive and provided fantastic guidance. She definitely knows her stuff. I took her recommendations for listing price and what improvements to make. Which turned into a substantial amount of offers, only after one open house :). I was very impressed with Dawn’s knowledge and her network of contractors to aid when problems came up. It was a pleasure working with Dawn Nowak and team. I wish I had more houses to sell now, to list again with Dawn Nowak and team! - Robert Ford
