Ratings & Reviews

April Millo

For anyone looking for one of the best real estate agents in CT, I highly recommend Dawn D’Auria. A close friend recommended Dawn to me when I was ready to sell my condo in Wallingford back in 2020. My friend and her family had used Dawn for their buying and selling needs throughout the years and she assured me I was going to be in good hands. Immediately, I was impressed by Dawn’s superior knowledge of the market, the market trends, and her integrity. Dawn fully prepared me for the selling process and was readily available day or night to answer any questions I had along the way. She put me at ease with her honest and straightforward approach. Following the sale of my condo, I used Dawn again in 2023 when I was ready to purchase my dream home. Again, Dawn’s strategic negotiations, experience, and knowledge helped me get everything I wanted for the right price. Dawn’s excellent communication skills helped make my selling and buying process go as seamless possible.

We’ve moved around the country quite a bit, but nothing could prepare us for all of the interesting nuance of CT real estate. We were lucky to work with Dawn, who helped us find the perfect home and had great contacts to help us through the buying process (home inspection, etc.). She made things easy and was super responsive throughout. Thanks Dawn!

Mark and Ellen Santoro

Dawn D'Auria to sell parent's homestead, and we couldn't be more grateful for her exceptional service. From the very start, Dawn demonstrated a deep understanding of the real estate market, providing expert guidance every step of the way. She was patient and empathetic with our elderly mother, making the entire process feel smooth and stress-free.
One of the things that truly stood out was how Dawn went above and beyond to help prepare the home for sale. She coordinated all the staging needed to showcase the property at its best, and the professional photos made the home shine. The listing was not only beautifully presented, but Dawn also accurately priced the home based on a keen awareness of current market trends, ensuring it was competitive without overpricing.
Thanks to Dawn's expertise and personal care, we sold the home quickly and for a great price. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Her commitment to excellence made a world of difference.

I have nothing but great things to say about Dawn. She is the best realtor in Connecticut. Dawn is patient and only looks out for her client’s best interest. My husband and I worked with Dawn for years. We now live in a beautiful home thanks to her. I bought our house sight unseen after my husband and her toured it because I knew if she had great things to say about the house that we should buy it. She works long hours and wrote up many offers for us in a tough sellers market. She is very knowledgeable and was such a pleasure to work with. She is also very professional and I would hire her again someday if we ever decide to move. I also recommend her to any of my friends looking to buy a house. Hire Dawn if you want to enjoy your home buying experience!

My wife and I were in search of a condo for a family elder to down size when we met Dawn in 2021 as the listing agent on one of the properties we viewed. Though we didn't purchase that unit, we liked Dawn so much  we contracted with her as our broker and  worked closely together over 3 months until we closed on a great property. The entire experience was smooth, very pleasant and painless. Dawn was on top of her game, never missed a beat, genuine and looked after our interest. Recently, we had another similar situation arise and we immediately called upon Dawn to help sell the 'empty nest' and find a new condo.  Dawn was great negotiating and her sound knowledge of the local market in New Haven and Middlesex counties was key in helping us get best price on both the sale and purchase side.  I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell property even outside of this geographical area.
