Testimonials
"Shelly went above and beyond to help us prepare our home. She came in and spent a full day helping us stage the home and giving advice on projects that were needed before listing the house. She was very responsive when we had questions and was excellent in keeping up with the details of the sale. Our house had a contract within 24 hours and that was directly related to the advice and service Shelly gave us. We would definitely recommend her and use her again!"
Grant and Amanda Rathe - Franklin, TN

Russell Smoak
"Shelly is INCREDIBLE. She helped my husband and I find our dream home. Professional, hard working, and extremely helpful. She patiently walked us through our first home buying experience. I could not recommend her more highly."
Kristin Rose
"Shelly is a “Rock Star”! She made the entire process of selling our home simple and comfortable. It’s never easy selling a house, but Shelly made sure we were informed about the market, what to expect, and how to maximize our sell potential. Some people feel the Brokers fees are over priced. Shelly was worth every penny and I’d recommend her any day. Thanks for making our sale a wonderful experience. You’re the best Shelly!"

"Shelly went over and beyond what any realtor should do to help me sell my home. She also caught a $20,000 mistake that the builder had made. She is worth her weight in gold. She spent a whole day staging our home to sell. She helped me review the contracts, and was amazing in every way!"
Nancy Dixon
"Entering the Nashville market as a first-time homebuyer is...intimidating to say the least. Shelly made the process comfortable and seamless. We approached Shelly thinking we were going after our starter home. Exactly 45 days later, she had us closing on our dream home. 10/10 recommend."

Christy Sawyer
"Shelly Dawson was an excellent agent who took a great deal of time and was very understanding of our needs and wants. She was always very kind in giving us advice on selling our home in another part of the state when our local agent was not as engaged as we would have preferred. Shelly also drove the paperwork for us in and made each step of the process as painless as possible."
James Daniel – Nashville, TN
"Shelly did a great job of selling our home. From start to finish she is very knowledgeable and professional. From the first time we contacted Shelly she was always responsive. She handled the negotiations professionally and with care. She was very through and attentive to detail. We would unhesitatingly recommend Shelly's services to others who are considering buying or selling a home."
Don and Nicole Slaughter – Franklin, TN
"Shelly is the consummate professional. Words that come to mind are trustworthy, honest and ethical. Shelly can be trusted to do the right thing for her customer, every day, all day. She is second to none regarding market knowledge, and as her customer you will truly feel as if you are the only one she is dealing with."
Charles Kirby - Spring Hill, TN
"Shelly Dawson is professional and organized, her long experience is evidenced in everything she does for a buyer, she is proactive (she ultimately found our house by driving through neighborhood unasked by us, spotting "coming soon" sign and getting us in the door with the builder well before it was on the market) and she was incredibly patient through our 7 months' journey to find our perfect spot, starting in south Brentwood/Franklin and ending up in 12 South. No matter how many properties we saw or how long the process took, dry ground or mud, Shelly was always cheerful and never made us feel that we were wasting her time or making her work too hard. She was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend her to others."
LDMO LLC, Nashville, Tennessee
"When I moved here 5 years ago Shelly Dawson helped me buy my house. I thought she was an excellent Broker and helped me secure a great deal on my home. She then helped my Father and my Niece buy their homes. She is professional, knowledgeable and competent. No question in my mind that I would have her sell my house when the time came. Once again she did an excellent job!"
Catherine Walter - Franklin, TN
"Shelly Dawson did a wonderful job getting my house ready to sell. We needed a good amount of repairs and improvements and Shelly quarterbacked the entire process. Once the repairs and improvements were made, she staged the house and got a contract on the very first open house and subsequently sold to the same buyer."
Jim Rolfe - Franklin, TN
"Shelly Dawson was amazing, awesome, and fabulous. She FAR EXCEEDED our expectations. In fact, she did more for us (pick up from hotel, airport, providing lunches, coffees, worked around the clock on a very short schedule, etc, etc), than I would have asked of a family member. Her knowledge of the local market helped us navigate the homes available seamlessly and quickly. We found our house on DAY ONE of our search because of how organized Shell was prior to our arrival!"
