Beginning in the spring of 2009 my wife and I began a search in the Bergen Countyarea for a Home to move into with our two young children and two dogs. Our searchwas a unique challenge as the market was a terribly disjointed market where pricediscovery was becoming more of an art than a science given the recent marketevents that began in early 2008. Our price range was 1.250‐2mm dollars.Victoria and I have bought and sold several homes over our 17 years together butnever had we had the stress associated with this particular move. Our two boyswere under the age of 3 and our lease was expiring on in September.We, at the beginning of our search, were working with another agent before meetingDawn Braithwaite at an open house in Ramsey, NJ. Upon meeting Dawn we madeher our exclusive agent. She impressed us in many ways. Dawn’s organizationalskills, time management, intuition as to our needs, and her great ability to listen arewhat compelled us to join her team in finding our home.Dawn quickly began the search for us and we quickly started to feel morecomfortable that we would find the house of our dreams and didn’t feel rushed. Shegave us good advice, as to our lease situation, which bought us time in regards toour search. We felt more in control with Dawn being on our team.As certain homes became interesting to us the price discovery issue loomed quitelarge. The gap between buyers and sellers expectations in 2009 was the largestperhaps ever in the real estate business (especially in the > 1.5mm dollar range).We found 3 homes that we made offers on which we walked away from on Dawn’sadvice as the sellers were unrealistic as to the current market value (these homesremain unsold in 2011).We finally settled on two homes in Ridgewood, NJ. We were making an offer on onebut then decided to seek Dawn’s advice on a dream home but one that seeminglywas over our budget. Dawn had done some extensive market analysis and gave usconfidence that we could be aggressive and go for it as the sellers were motivated inher opinion.We got the house of our dreams for 1.710mm dollars and couldn’t be happier. If itwasn’t for meeting Dawn we would be in a much less desirable neighborhood with asmaller property and house. Dawn Braithwaite through her tireless love for thebusiness and people far exceeded our expectations. We would and do recommendDawn Braithwaite to anyone looking for a home. Sincerely,David and Victoria Petrie(Ridgewood NJ)

Dear Dawn,We want to thank you once again for all your hard work in selling our New Jersey house. You are a model agent and we will recommend you to any of our friends up there when they get ready to sell their house. I know this is a tough economy and market, so we feel really fortunate that we chose you to get the job done. We had our share of frustrating moments while on the market, but you were always there problem solving and responsive to our needs and concerns. Thank you for all you did.Thank you too for the gift for our new home. The wines were delicious and we will love using the decanter and think of you each time we do. That was so thoughtful of you.I apologize that it has taken so long to get this letter out to you. The job of moving and then settling in was very time consuming and exhausting, and we’re just now starting to see the light of day!! We love being back in Georgia and our new home is great. I promise that I will take some pictures soon so you can get an idea of what we bought.Again, many thanks to you. We hope you have a very Happy Holiday Season!With our sincere appreciation,Mike and Eileen Romanzo(Mahwah NJ)

Dear Dawn, Lee and I wanted to express our sincere thanks for the way you managed the sale of our home. Since this was not the first time we sold a home, we were familiar with working with other realtors. Without a doubt, you are by far the best, most professional agent we have ever had the pleasure to work with. No detail was left unnoticed and your market analysis was extensive and above our expectations. Given the housing market at the time of our sale in 2010, we feel it was not just the home but your efforts in marketing our home that got us multiple offers and above our asking price. You had our best interests first and foremost and it showed in every aspect. You made yourself available to us and kept us posted and updated especially during the home inspection period, which can be a stressful part of the negotiations. Thank you for making the process of selling our home as stress free as possible and for your well organized, thoughtful endeavor. We wish you only continued success! Best wishes, Lee and Kathleen Swearer(Glen Ridge NJ)
