As a first-time home seller (we owned for 38 years), my wife and I can recommend to you Dawn David, our Real Estate agent, with flying colors. From her first descriptions of innovations in the selling process, through facilitating countless options and decisions, to coordinating trades people like a juggler, Dawn was on top of every detail. And always thinking ahead. At different times I thought of her as a coach, a theater director, a psychologist, and a master market strategist.
Our home actually had two houses on the property, with great views of the Bay and the City. There weren’t any real comparables nearby. Over a couple months, while guiding us in getting the houses and grounds ready, we had many opportunites to talk about Brisbane, our house, our location, our history. Dawn gradually knitted these stories together for when she began to show the property. Then she watched what people responded to and added more of our stories. Finally, the theater director turned performer.
Backed by a top-flight staging company she brought in that transformed the property, she showed it over 100 times, under Covid protocols. She distributed 82 disclosure packages. We received 21 offers, all over asking. And through a final day and a half, she guided us through the offers and counters to the offer we accepted – at 33% over asking.
Dawn’s knowledge of the market (especially Brisbane), her work ethic, her care of us as clients, her community spirit and her good cheer, all contributed to a great success for my wife and I.
Highly recommended. I’m happy to take any calls to further explain Dawn’s value as a partner in real estate transactions.

Dawn is the most diligent realtor I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Selling a home during the Covid-19 pandemic was nerve-wracking, and we wondered if putting our house on the market was even the right decision. Every step of the way, Dawn was the epitome of cool, calm and collected—she kept us updated on market conditions and ever-changing Covid requirements, and we never felt pushed into selling ASAP or waiting out the market.
Dawn’s network of outstanding contractors, landscapers, and designers were invaluable in helping us to refresh and update our home. She made many recommendations, but never pushed us to change something if we were not willing. She took the time to understand how we used each room in our house, and what made our home special to us so that she could communicate this to prospective buyers. Her hard work paid off – we received multiple offers and $200K over our asking price!
Dawn’s experience, expertise, and the team of professionals backing her at McGuire Real Estate made for a very smooth transition through the preparation, marketing, offer acceptance, and escrow processes. Her keen attention to detail helped ensure that every single requirement was completed correctly and on-time; there were no hiccups, no last-minute scrambles for paperwork.
Dawn is not only an outstanding realtor; she is also a valued member of the Brisbane community. As a fitness and yoga instructor, youth basketball coach and a board member for multiple community organizations, she gives back to Brisbane in many, many ways.
We are grateful for all of Dawn’s hard work and dedication in selling our home; we look forward to working with her again next time we buy or sell!

Selling a house is quite the endeavor - few life events can have such an impact on a family.
To think of it as a mere financial transaction is an underestimation of the scope of a project that included landscaping design, a new paint color scheme, a refreshed interior, coordination with multiple contractors - and then staging, marketing and showing the house, all during a world-wide pandemic. Quite the high pressure situation...
Dawn was at once our guide and our teammate. Her advice was sound yet she gave us space to make the decisions. Her network of competent professionals removed risks and complexities. Her creativity enabled us to do a hybrid of virtual and physical staging - showing a house that had never been in better shape since we had built it 10 years prior. The 3D cyber furnishings looked sooo good (and real!) that we felt we should have bought them in real life!
This marketing plan got quite the interest on the property which was priced right for our market, as evidenced by the steady flow of prequalified, interested parties.
The process culminated with a multiple offer situation, resulting in our getting over $200,000 above asking price.
Through it all, Dawn simplified all the paperwork, made quick work of all the disclosures, and guided us all through a smooth escrow period.
Grace under pressure, this woman. A consummate professional. A winner. A valued member of our community. And, eventually, our realtor, again.

Dawn was amazing to work with when we sold our house! She was very honest and professional when it came to staging and marketing the house while at the same time, respecting the fact that we have three young children and needed to maintain some sort of normalcy for them. Dawn proved that she was knowledgable about the home market in the Bay Area regarding pricing and the timing of the sale and the open houses. I appreciate that Dawn put us, her clients, first by looking out for our interests and making the process as seamless as possible. We will be recommending her to anyone who needs a realtor!
