Incredible help when buying our first home! They guided us through evaluating what made sense for us and provided smart strategies to make a winning offer. Several of my friends have also worked with them for both buying and selling and had fantastic experiences. They’re easy to work with, highly knowledgeable, and truly make the process feel trusted and stress-free. Highly recommend!

Dave and Doreen worked tirelessly to sell our home. They are very personable and easy to talk with. Because we had moved out of the area before our home was put on the market, we appreciated how well they took care of all of the necessary details for marketing our home. They arranged to have our house staged, the lawn maintained, the driveway swept, and had open house on a weekly basis. They knew the market well and priced our house accordingly, consistently advising us on how to respond to offers. We were impressed with their consistently positive attitude and cheerfulness even though our house took longer to sell than any of us anticipated.

Dave and Dorene were fantastic realtors for our family. From start to finish they handled the transaction like real pros. I highly recommend the Dave and Dorene Dawson team no matter where in the Bay Area you need a great real estate team. They crossed the T’s, dotted the i’s and their connections made for a seamless transaction. Thank you for everything!

Dorene and Dave Dawson are the best realtors I have ever worked with! They are both personable and delightful to work with. They have helped me sell and buy several houses in Santa Cruz county, most recently a 4,000 sf Victorian. My experience with them on this sale was truly outstanding. They went above and beyond in helping to manage the whole process from cleaning, landscaping and staging to final sale. Dave's knowledge of the local market and his circle of contacts in the trades, county government offices, contractors and specialized cleaners and stagers is what sets them apart from the the many other realtors in the area. Dorene was hands-on with all of the detailed preparation of the house and gave crucial advice on what was most important for prospective buyers. She is a superb project manager and kept her team of specialists on track and on time. Dave's charismatic and calm personality makes him a perfect negotiator and he has a way of smoothing out difficult obstacles that is uncanny. I heartily recommend that you engage Dave and Dorene for any sale or purchase that you are considering. They are simply the best.

Dorene and Dave have been incredibly hands-on realtors during the process of finding our home. They're not only a joy to work with, but also very knowledgable about all aspects of home buying (including reputable local vendors/contractors to work with for inspections and ongoing home maintenance). As clients. we felt that we had great advocates on our side during the process. Highly recommend!

We were fortunate to be introduced to Dave and Dorene Dawson through mutual friends three years ago. From that first get-together, through our home purchase two years later, the Dawsons were an absolute delight to work with - and that’s important when searching for the right house.

Dave and Dorene are patient, trustworthy, warm, experienced, and know the greater Santa Cruz area, inside and out. We always felt like a priority. We always knew we could count on them.

Unless you already have a great relationship with a realtor, contact the Dawsons if you want to enjoy the best home buying or selling experience possible.
