Our experience with First Team—specifically Dawna—was excellent. The headline: we sold our home for $90K over asking. The process itself had a few twists, with two initial offers falling through, but what truly stood out was how quickly and strategically Dawna pivoted each time. Our first buyer came in strong with an all-cash offer but had to withdraw due to a family emergency. Within hours, Dawna had already lined up additional showings and scheduled an open house that same weekend, which generated 12 offers—four of them well above asking. The second buyer submitted an offer but backed out the next day due to uncertainty around the sale of their own home. Fortunately, because of the strong backup interest, Dawna immediately engaged the next qualified buyer and successfully took the deal all the way to closing. Despite the ups and downs, the entire process—from first offer to closing—took just one month. Throughout it all, Dawna was professional, strategic, and incredibly reassuring. Her communication was consistent, her follow-through was excellent, and we always felt confident in her guidance. I would highly recommend First Team—and especially Dawna—to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. As an added bonus, since we weren’t ready to purchase right away, Dawna also helped us find a beautiful rental near the beach, which made our transition seamless.

Dawna came as referral from my loan agent. At the time I was not even serious about buying a house as I had a very long list of things that I wanted in a house and wasn't pressed to buy another house. But Dawna listened to what I had to say and found me exactly the house I was looking for. I couldn't say no! Through her connections in the industry, I was able to get the first viewing even before the house went on the market! She helped me put together a winning offer, negotiated things on my behalf and made things happen. She helped me navigate the tight deadline for contingency removal. She was always available throughout the whole process. Overall, my home buying experience was easier with Dawna by my side. I would recommend her to anyone for their next real estate transaction. Thank you Dawna!

My wife and I had done our research and decided that we wanted to retire to the Treasure Valley (Greater Boise) area of Idaho. When we decided to sell our CA home, we chose Dawna Kuch, based on the recommendations of friends and acquaintances. First of all, Dawna is a very honest, kind, and authentic person. She loves what she does, and it shows. She sincerely wants to do her very best for her clients, and it is obvious that she feels great satisfaction when she pleases and serves her clients well. She has years of experience, and my wife and I experienced it firsthand. Dawna used a professional photographer to showcase our home on the MLS listing, and the photos turned out very well. She strategically listed our home so that it coincided with our open houses. After the first open house, we had multiple offers within days. To see if we could generate even more interest, we all agreed on a second open house for the following week. Afterwards, Dawna used our multiple bids to facilitate a final offer that was $55K above our listing price. This was fantastic for us! We highly recommend Dawna Kuch as a realtor that can provide experience coupled with a TLC that will leave you with the knowledge that you received the very best service that the industry has to offer.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Dawna and Paula when selling my wife's two homes from her family trust and our own home, as well as purchasing a new home. That's right - four transactions, all in under 3 years! From start to finish, their expertise and dedication were truly exceptional. They are incredibly knowledgeable about the real estate market, and knew exactly how to position our properties to get top dollar. Their marketing strategies, staging advice, and negotiation skills were absolutely unparalleled! Not to mention they are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. When it came time to purchase our new home, they went above and beyond to ensure we found the perfect place. They worked tirelessly to negotiate the best deal possible and to make sure there were no surprises or hidden issues. Their attention to detail and commitment to our satisfaction made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We are beyond grateful for their hard work, professionalism, and genuine care for our needs. Dawna and Paula are more than just real estate agents; they are trusted advisors and true partners in the home buying and selling process. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch real estate services. Our sincerest thanks go out to both of them for making our real estate journey a success!

We worked with Dawna in buying our second home and renting out our first home. It was one of the most difficult experiences, but Dawna was our shining light and solid beam through it all! She not only was always available to talk and answer questions, but she advocated and fought so hard for us to finally be able to close! She took exceptional care with us and we trusted and had full confidence in her and her many years of experience. Her advice throughout the process was truly invaluable. We could not have asked for anyone better to be on our team and will 100% go to her for any future real estate needs!

Using Dawna to sell our condo and purchase a new home was the best decision we could have made in 2023. Dawna is everything you want in a real estate agent and more. First, she priced our condo perfectly so that we had multiple offers over-asking within a few days of listing. Then, when it came to looking for a replacement home, she was extremely knowledgable of the Southern California housing market as only someone who’s worked in this area for years would be. She quickly jumped on any listings we were interested in, even to the point of calling a listing agent after 9:00 pm to ask about a listing we wanted to tour. We looked at dozens of properties and with each open house, it was clear Dawna was always looking out for our best interest, rather than her own. She took us under her wing, treating us like family, and made sure we found the best value of home at our price range. She negotiated hard for us to get our dream home and of course, we got it! The best part was how willing she was to answer our calls or texts at any time of day. You can tell how hard she works for her clients by how quickly and considerately she responds. Thank you for everything Dawna!

It is relatively easy to sell houses when the market is good and mortgage rates are low. However, it takes an exceptional agent to sell when inflation is high and mortgage rates are skyrocketing. Dawna is that top level agent who was able to sell my property in a tough market. She clearly explained the sales process to me, handled all the details, from getting the house ready for selling, to marketing, to working with the buyer's agent to make sure everything was done to assure the seller and buyer were happy with the outcome. She is an amazing lady to work with and a great person to know. By the time we were done with escrow, my family and I felt we had a close friend for life. Thank you Dawna everything you've done.
