TESTIMONIALS OVER THE YEARS FROM 1990 TO PRESENT
SUSAN D. – Dawn has been my real estate broker for more than a decade and I recommend her with the highest regard. I have referred Dawn to many friends and each has told me they had the best experience with her. Purchasing real estate requires great knowledge (of the market and of the process), professionalism and experience. Dawn has it all. From the easiest to the most challenging of transactions (and there have been incredible challenges on some deals!) she effectively and efficiently (hyper-efficiently, in fact!) managed the process from start to closing. I cannot thank her enough for all she has done — from my first house long ago to my investment properties over the years. She’s the best there is!
THELMA F – SAN JOSE I have known Dawn O’Neal professionally for over 10 years now. I have to say that she is the most knowledgeable, effective Real Estate Broker I have met. She puts her clients first and is extremely ethical.
She has over 20 years’ worth of experience and she has an impressive track record of closed transactions. You can’t go wrong with her as your agent.
STACEY W – Dawn O’Neal and Tom Binder were our agents when it came time to sell my family’s home. They were wonderful. They handled all the difficult tasks, paid close attention to every detail and were patient with a lot of questions from various family members. They are superb Realtors and super nice people. Without reservation I highly recommend them — I’d give them 100 stars if that were possible!
SUSAN F – We have used Dawn O’Neal exclusively for almost two decades as both buyers and sellers. Her service is unparalleled — from her professionalism to her tech savvy to her knowledge of the market and how to close the deal. We’ve purchased and sold properties that are large and small, country and urban and we have encountered every level of deal from the most fluid to the most stressful. As the most discerning of clients (understatement) we have been thrilled with her services on every transaction. Highly recommended!
PHANI B – Client, Seller We have worked with Dawn in both capacity as buyer & seller. She is very knowledgeable about the real estate market in San Jose area, very patient, provides you right information at the right time and let’s you make decisions. Very nice realtor to work with.
MIKE Z – I have worked with a couple of realtors in the past and definitely have heard some of the horror stories from my friends so I can say with definition that Dawn (and Tom) are hands down the best I know, have worked with and have heard about when it comes to buying and/or selling residential properties. She is honest, straight forward and extremely experienced. And even with a couple of new “twists” that we put her through, she came up to speed almost instantly and still brought high value to the overall transaction. Hands down a recommendation always and definitely someone you want on your side during the negotiation! Dawn already knows all of our future listings are going her way!
SHERI F – Dawn is a fabulous realtor. She came recommended to us, and we recently purchased a home through her with great success. She listens well to a client’s desires, and follows through with a high degree of professionalism and attention to detail. Every step of the way was done very well.
KIM S – “My husband and I have used Dawn on a couple of Real Estate transactions, and we can say that she is one of the most knowledgeable and professional agents we have had the pleasure to work with, and would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home! Keep up the good work Dawn, talk soon. Roger & Kim S
NANCY D – Dear Dawn,I’ve written this recommendation of your work to share with other LinkedIn users.
“Dawn O’Neal, Broker/Owner of Realty World Executive Advantage is a person I can highly recommend without any hesitation. She provides her clients with the top level service that is so important in gaining repeat business. Her clients become friends. That says so much about her as not only a Real Esate Broker but as a person. She truly cares. Her attention to detail is outstanding. She is community minded as well as being involved in the real estate industry. Again, I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She is the best!
PETER E – “Dawn helped us buy our first home. Her years of experience and warm heart made the process easy and stress free. We have recommended Dawn to all of our family and friends. She will be our first phone call once we are ready for our second home.”
LIZ V – “Dawn is a true expert in her field. She identifies and follows through on the small details, and she is very experienced, creative and adept at handling the most challenging negotiation situations. She is committed to making sure that you meet your objectives when buying or selling your home.”
DANELLE M – “Dawn was great! Would definitely use her again. Made a difficult preparation and sale work in a down market. Can’t say enough!”
GREG M – GOOD MORNING DAWN!
WE WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE MADE OUR FIRST HOMEBUYING EXPERIENCE A VERY ENJOYABLE AND MEMORABLE ONE!!
WE HAVE FELT VERY “TAKEN CARE OF”, BY THE EXECUTIVE ADVANTAGE STAFF.
It always seemed as if you kept our best interests in mind as moved through each and every step of the process.
Since we are now stepping into the week in which escrow is scheduled to close, we can hardly hold back our excitement as we look forward to this Thursday.
Looking back, we definitely had the advantage with a team like Michelle Morse Reen at Amerimac, and your supporting staff.
You have a customer for life, and we’ll always recommend both Amerimac and Executive Advantage wherever possible.
Best Regards,
COLLIE C – Dawn is one of the most dependable and tenacious individuals I know. I know a great many realtors; Dawn is outstanding among them. When she takes on a project, you absolutely know it will get done! She truly epitomizes her motto: “Exceeding expectations — always!””
HEIDI W.R.- “Very professional and caring lady, who gets the job done.”
NANDINI R – Hi Dawn,
Just wanted to share something with you. Yesterday, Adithya started 6th grade at Kennedy Middle School. It didn’t really sink in till I went to bed last night. Dawn, this is something I have dreamed of, for my children and I’m just amazed at the fact that my dream came true, inspite of all the hardship that I’ve been through. And I think I owe it all to you – not as my Realtor alone, but also for being there for me the whole time.
I had some ideas and you believed in me and helped me make my dreams come true even though it was a long shot.
When Adithya was 3 or 4, I decided that he would go to Kennedy and Monta Vista. When I bought my first house, Adithya got into Faria school (which BTW stood first in the state of CA for the fourth time in a row this year), and Yashas followed. Now, Adithya has begun his Middle school at Kennedy. In three years he’ll be at Monta Vista. Knock on Wood.
You may think I’m silly telling you this, but I thought that you would be the only one who would understand. I have realized that miracles do happen if you just have the faith and if you have wonderful friends like you who really care.
Thanks so much for everything you have done for me. I couldn’t have gotten this far without you.
In my culture they say that God doesn’t really show himself to people when they need him, but comes in the form of normal human beings and one way I have seen Him is through you, Dawn.
Thanks for everything and for being part of my life,
ESTELLE L – When Hank and I were ready to sell our house in Cupertino, I’m sure that we shared with most sellers the dilemma of selecting the right realtor for such a humungus task! We did, in fact, interview other realtors, but when we met you and listened to your no-nonsense, sound advice, we knew that you were the person for the job!
The purpose of this letter is to tell you that you never let us down. You worked very hard on our behalf. You made it easy to rely on you, and we thank you.
KARI K – Dawn is a top notch, highly educated Real Estate Broker who makes every effort to develop a lasting and personal relationship with each of her clients. She know her geographic territory extremely well having been in real estate in the Bay Area for so many years. I have referred several clients to her with terrific results and happy clients! I know that Dawn keeps current in her real estate education and business marketing strategies, and this is one of the reasons she continues to be so successful in her career. What I most applaud in Dawn is that she still makes the time to contribute to the community through her various volunteer programs. I would recommend Dawn O’Neil and her Team to anyone seeking to buy or sell in Silicon Valley!
NANDINI R – I would recommend Dawn to anyone looking to buy a home. She’s just the best. She’ll tell you what’s right and what’s wrong with a home and whether or not its a good thing for you. She works with you to find your dream home. She has the patience of a Saint and will work within your needs. I have bought twice through Dawn and sold once. It has been the best experience ever.Thank you Dawn!
AL W – I listed my home with Dawn O’Neal at what was seemingly a bad time of year; two months after the September 11th WTC attacks and the 2001 holiday season rapidly approaching. We anticipated it would take at least two months to sell but two offers came in less than a week after the listing date! Although these offers were too low and subsequently diminished, a week later an acceptable offer did come in. In just a couple weeks from the listing, Dawn O’Neal with her highly conscientious efforts, sold my home for nearly the asking price! After the sale closed, Dawn O’Neal didn’t just stop there. There were additional follow-up contacts by her to ensure that all paperwork was in order and understood by me, greeting cards, well wishes, and assistance for a problem-free relocation. I’ve bought and sold nine homes in my lifetime but never have I had the pleasure of dealing with such a professional, dedicated, and hardworking real estate agent. Dawn O’Neal keeps her clients’ concerns first and foremost. Therefore, I highly recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to list with her again. Update: Since my real estate dealings with Dawn O’Neal in the fall of 2001, I’ve had the occasion to deal with two more realtors, and Dawn O’Neal still remains the best realtor that I’ve ever done business with. I’m sure she always will be. I continue to highly recommend her. Here it is a year and one-half later and Dawn O’Neal still maintains a friendly and professional communication.
DOUG & TAUNI R – We recently made the decision to sell our house and a friend referred us to Dawn O’Neal. We are very happy that she did! Dawn and her team have:
- The market knowledge to ensure us that the holiday season is not the wrong time to sell. (Our house sold in 10 days, right before Christmas!)
- The experience to ensure that we list at the right price.
- The business skills to ensure that we got what we wanted in the sale. (Our price, plus negotiated rent-back AT OUR LOWER MORTGAGE RATE) That made our move-out a lot less stressful and less expensive.
- The customer-service expertise that took care of us by anticipating all of our needs. (Setting us up with a good realtor in the town that we were moving to) Making all the necessary arrangements for us (inspections, open house, etc.) and in general, just ensured that we were properly taken care of. Dawn, or someone on her team, came to our house for everything. We were not inconvenienced once!
We cannot imagine a more pleasurable home-selling experience and are sure that it wouldn’t have happened without Dawn and her team. We highly recommend them to help you sell your house and are sure they are just as good at helping you buy your dream home too!
FRANK S – Dear Dawn, I want to thank you and your staff for the excellent service you had provided for my family and myself in the sale of our home. Please share this letter with anyone that would like to know how wonderful it had been working with you.
As you know we started the process as FSBO’s (For Sale by Owner). If I knew then what I know now what it takes to close a sale, I would of called you first. Since we had already moved out of state, I always felt a great sense of comfort with you in complete care of our home. The best thing is that you bailed us out of almost hopeless situation.
From the very beginning you jumped through hoops to help us out. Not even meeting us you listed our home using fax machines when you were out of town. All the details from banners, signs, business cards, flyers everything seemed so easy for you to accomplish in a minute notice.
You told me “the real work begins when there is a contract”. This was the most critical milestone. I think the sale could of fallen through 100 times if you hadn’t been on top of things the whole time.
Your TLC always gave us that little extra peace, when things got a little bumpy. The market was really soft at the time, your enthusiasm and optimistic attitude really paid off for us. In the end it worked out great! We sold our home in San Jose, for the right price. We moved into our new house and closed just in time.
Lastly, I would like to thank you again for all you have done. Even after this sale has been long over you continue to keep in touch. It is really wonderful to know that you really care. You went the extra mile every single time just because you wanted to
KATHLEEN C – Words can never express the amount of gratitude I extend to you to have made my relocation from San Jose to Tempe, Arizona. Your generous enthusiasm and leadership enabled me to fulfill my long time dream of finally settling in Arizona.
Not only did you assist me in selling my home in California; your introduction to the local agent in Tempe, Arizona, enable me to find a home that would fulfill all the expectations that one wishes upon their embarking in an new era of their life.
As my home was listed as a high end sale, you were able, with your professionalism and ability, to appeal and influence buyers to realizing their appreciation of the decorator touches in my home and the various amenities included in the sale. I value your friendship not only as a Realtor, but as a wonderful addition to my life. You have given me comfort and happiness as I know that you were able to find the perfect couple who would appreciate my home as I had loved it for many years. You are my Realtor for life! I wish you total success and happiness in the future.
KATHY K – It’s sure been a long haul. Selling my house was not an easy job, but you did it. I just wanted to send a token of my appreciation for all your support, hard work, patience (never losing your temper with my moods and anxiety), sense of humor and most of all for never giving up. Thank you so much for a job well done!
EAMON & VANESSA O – Just wanted to thank you for everything you did for us in “buying the house”. From explaining everything, to taking care of the smallest details for us. We really appreciate all of the extra work that you did and for putting up with Eamon always wanting to be in control.
We just had a BBQ for 30 people so that all of our friends could come and “Oooh” and “Aaah” over our new purchase.
There is nothing better than coming home to your own house. Thank you for helping us achieve that goal.
CRAIG S – From January of 1994 through March of 1998 Dawn O’Neal was an active and intricate member of the Joe Kapp Golf Fiesta organizing committee. Through the collective efforts of our volunteers, the community, and people like Dawn, we were able to donate over $343,000.00 to the National Hispanic Scholarship Fund, making our tournament the #1 fund raising event in the N.H.S.F. tournament series.
Without people like Dawn and their selfless effort, community benefits like the Joe Kapp Golf Fiesta would not happen, and the many deserving young people who reap the beneit of such may not have been able to attend the colleges and universities they did.
I hope you will join me in applauding her and her colleagues for their effort. Without the volunteers, the people who do it just because they want to or just because it’s the way that they are, looking for nothing in return, without them, our community would be a much sadder place to live.
