I met Sandy when I was viewing a property she was selling. I had called to ask if I could view the property and she returned my call within an hour and showed me the property within 2 hours. I knew that this was the type of agent I wanted to work with to sell our home! My family was downsizing and needing to finding another property and sell ours at the same time which can be stressful. Sandy was so patient, communicative, understanding and fun to work with. I would recommend Sandy without hesitation. We successfully bought a new smaller property and sold ours shortly after for asking price. I couldnt have asked for more.
What separates an excellent buyer's agent from a competent one is the invisible work that happens behind the scenes, and that's where Sandy Dawson Galavotti truly excels. She was knowledgeable, highly responsive, and often went the extra mile to get clarity on properties. I always felt like we had an advocate and a partner who knew when to nudge us or slow us down. I trusted her implicitly because she earned it time and again. We have closed on our new home, and it's due in no small part to her. My husband put it succinctly: "You made it easy, Sandy." I would add, even when it was anything but easy.
