Meet Dawn

With over 30 years of experience as a Connecticut Real Estate Agent, I've had the pleasure of working with amazing clients. 

My experience has earned me a unique perspective on how to navigate the changing markets, anticipate pitfalls and creating unique solutions for my clients. 

I help them sort out their need and wants informed by current market conditions resulting in a customized plan for each client. I minimize the stress and complexity of real estate by guiding, representing, and advocating for my clients throughout the entire process. 

What is most meaningful to me is the enduring relationships I have built with my clients as their trusted advisor. Helping families repeatedly over the years has resulted in lifelong clients, close friendships and recommendations to their loved ones. 

Connecticut Magazine has honored me with their Five Star Award for 15 consecutive years (2011-2025), an award based on client surveys. [link to Testimonials] 

I invite you to reach out to me and let me help you too.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

We’ve moved around the country quite a bit, but nothing could prepare us for all of the interesting nuances 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!

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

This is my second and my husband's first time working with Dawn. She is always on point, well-versed in her job role, and a very down-to-earth person to be around.

She did a great job with promoting and helped us ...

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

It was a pleasure working with Dawn this summer. She helped me and my mother find the perfect home in CT for a reasonable price despite the very competitive market. She was extremely helpful with suggestions for additional home inspections for the type of home we ended up purchasing which later uncovered items we were able to negotiate a fair agreement with the seller to address. When we ran into an issu...

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

The easiest thing in the world is to praise Dawn D'Auria. I have worked with many realtors for the places I have called home in many cities: Dawn has been the best of the best.

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.

Immediately, I was impressed by Dawn’s superior knowledge of ...

My husband and I had entrusted Dawn D'Auria to sell his parent's homestead, and we couldn't be more grateful for her exceptional service.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

My wife and I were in search of a condo for a family elder to downsize 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 that 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...
