About Dawna
Thirty moves, and this is home
I've lived in a lot of places, and every move has taught me something about what makes a house feel like home. Today, I bring that experience to helping buyers and sellers throughout Greater Seattle, combining firsthand perspective, local knowledge, and practical guidance to help you make confident real estate decisions.
MY STORY
A lifetime of places, a passion for home
If there's one thing all those moves have taught me, it's that finding home is about so much more than finding a house.
Every place I've lived has had its own personality. Sometimes it's the neighborhood coffee shop, the people you get to know, or simply the way a community feels when you become part of it. I've come to appreciate those everyday details that make one place feel different from another.
I've also always enjoyed the homes themselves. Remodeling, staging, and seeing the potential in a property are things I genuinely love. There's something exciting about imagining what a space could become, whether it's a fresh coat of paint, a thoughtful renovation, or an entirely new chapter for the people who live there.
Of all the places I've lived, nothing has felt more like home than Seattle. I love the variety of communities here, the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, and the feeling that there's always something new to discover. Getting to share that with others is one of my favorite parts of what I do.
How I work
Listen first, share useful information, then help you decide
I listen first
Your goals, your timeline, and what matters most to you come before any list of homes or market discussion.
I know the place
From established neighborhoods to growing communities, I help you understand what makes each area unique.
I see possibilities
My experience with remodeling, staging, and investing helps me recognize a home's potential beyond what you see today.
I level with you
I'll share what I see, explain what it means, and give you straightforward guidance—even when that means advising you to walk away.
WHERE I WORK
Greater Seattle, one community at a time
From Seattle and the Eastside to the Snoqualmie Valley and Snohomish County, I help buyers and sellers explore the communities that fit their lives. Each area has its own personality, and finding the right fit is about more than choosing a location on a map.
