One of the most stressful events in a person's life is selling a home. The stress comes from not knowing what to expect and when to expect it. Throughout the entire process of selling our home of 32 years, Dawn and her team...don't think I will ever forget that team...lead us step by step through the process. Instead of stress, we had fun. Yes, really! Selling a home with Dawn and her team can be and is fun.

If I could give Dawn 100 stars or more I would!! Dawn not only made this experience easy but actually fun. She had her work cut out taking me on as a client. This was my first time purchasing a home by myself and she not only had to put up with all my emotions with selling my family home but also the unknowns on my end, I didn’t know anything and she walked me through without making me feel stupid. Her and her team are wonderful people and easy to work with, each one genuinely cares about you as a person. This was truly an amazing experience for me, thank you so much Dawn and the entire Baltar team.

Dawn, Ande, Eric and the whole team are so fantastic to work with. They’re incredibly knowledgeable about local real estate and go above and beyond for their clients. We’ve used their team to sell and purchase 3 houses over the years and I can’t imagine ever using another realtor. They’ve helped us stage our homes, get needed work done, scheduled cleaners for us and more and always helped us get the best deals, both selling and buying. Don’t hesitate to contact them!

Dawn and her team helped me purchase a second home in San Diego. She was amazing from start to finish. She seemed to understand exactly what we wanted because every listing she sent was within budget and what we were looking for. I never felt pressured to make a deal.

She negotiated a great price and communicated through the entire process. As a bonus, after everything was done she still flew down to San Diego to meet with a contractor to go over home improvements. She has helped us a property manager and communicated with the HOA for us.

I would recommend the Balter Team for any transaction.

Thank you, Dawn.

If it hadn’t been for Dawn’s tenacity and persistence in following up to get me the house I loved, we wouldn’t have successfully been able negotiate our way into the deal as the house was already under contract. I have Dawn to thank for my beautiful home. She promised to get me the house I loved, and she did it! She’s the best.

Working with Dawn and her team was truly an outstanding experience! From start to finish, they handled everything with professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. Dawn and her team @ The Baltar Group sold our home quickly and got us top dollar, which we couldn’t be happier about. They guided us through every step of the process and made what could have been stressful feel seamless.

Dawn's loan team also deserves a 5 star review they were equally amazing—organized, responsive, creative and extremely knowledgeable. They made the financing side smooth, ensuring everything lined up perfectly for a transition into a new property.

We couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us sell our home and move into the next chapter. If you’re looking for a team that goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Dawn Baltar with The Baltar Group.

Thanks Again Dawn, Robbie, Ali and the rest of the team!!!

I first became Dawn's customer in November of 2018. She was introduced
to me by a relative as practically family. Since then, she has proven
that. Over the last 6 1/2 years, Dawn has been a wizard real estate
agent and keen on property laws, and has handled four transactions for
me, both buying and selling. She has protected me to the very edge of
her duties when navigating complex real estate situations.
Additionally, she has taken good care of my referrals to her. Every
time I have sold, I have gotten an offer on the first day. Every time I
have bought, she has made sure my offer is attractive and has beaten out
competitors. She knows real estate pricing like a stock broker knows
the investment market, she knows the greater Sacramento metro like a
medallioned cab driver, and she understands all the different kinds of
property transactors like a forensic psychologist.

In the months between transactions and in preparation for sales, Dawn
has had a network of service resources for my properties that I have
come to rely upon. Dawn builds community with her clients. I was
fortunate to be among them for so long.

If you are headed for a real estate transaction and you are ready to
trust someone new, you're ready to work with Dawn Baltar and her
dedicated team.

The Baltar Group did an incredible job prepping, marketing and selling our mother's house in Folsom. Dawn, Jill and their team worked like crazy to get the house prepared and sold in a few short weeks. They communicated with my sisters and me all the way though the process. We mutually agreed on what the value of the home was and we achieved the target price within days of the listing. They were so easy to work with and always so respectful of our opinions and needs. We are very happy to recommend the Dawn and Jill to anyone selling or buying a home.

The Baltar Group was extremely professional and helpful. I never have bought or sold a home and had no clue on what steps to take to help my mom sell her house. Dawn and her team made the whole experience seem effortless and easy. Also, they staged the house beautifully, and I felt it really helped the success of the sale. We received several great offers, and she did a great job explaining each one. Dawn worked magic, and she made it seem like we breezed through all the inspections. She constantly kept me well informed every step of the way. Dawn is excellent negotiator and made sure we received top dollar for the house. I highly recommend the Baltar Group for your real estate needs.

• Advantages
○ Great marketing, network, open houses
○ Great team, works like a clockwork
○ Exquisite People management
• Results
○ Sold in 1 month
§ First offer in 2 weeks, sold in 1 month,
§ 15% higher than what I think are comparable home
A similar house on the block sitting for 90 days and counting
○ Made the home close despite BoA: Saved us from 2 week delay in closing
• How they compare
○ As best as they come, in any field
○ If everyone else is five stars, she deserves 7 stars

Details
Marketing, network & open houses
We met Dawn & the team (Jill and Ciera) at the open house for the home that we recently purchased. The home popped up on top of our search and the house on the website appeared 1.5X bigger than it really is. She has extensive talented network and they can fix anything that goes wrong promptly. Fixing pool pumps, taking out trash, staging home, everything was done well and promptly. They held open houses almost every weekend and followed up with the leads diligently.

Team, Clockwork
After we moved out of our house on Monday, the cleaning crew came that night to start cleaning, the staging crew came the day after, photographer came on Wednesday and we were on the market on Thursday and had realtors open house on Friday and Open house on Saturday & Sunday of that weekend. Our house looked better than model houses. The traffic on our website appears to be about 3X higher than neighboring homes on the same street.

Exquisite People Management
Dawn really knows how to manage people. Not just her crew but her customers (both sellers and buyers) and other stakeholders. When there were questions, she was prompt in response and knew when phone calls are needed and when texting is enough. Every encounter I had with her and her team re-assured me that we made the right decision in hiring her team.

Results
Feds were raising interest rates and the housing market was cooling rapidly. We felt that we really need to move fast before the market really goes south. Dawn and her team really moved fast and we got our first offer in 2 weeks. That offer didn't go through but we had two more offers after slight price adjustment. In the end, I feel that we got about 15% higher than comparable homes in the neighborhood. We have a similar home on our street sitting on the market for 90 days and they have lowered their asking price by 200K over that period.

The week before closing, I made the mistake of closing the home equity line of credit account. BoA said everything will close in 3 days. The account closed in 2 days but it took them 2 weeks to send me the letter that says the account is closed. Without the letter, title company wouldn't issue title insurance. It could have delayed the closing for 2 weeks but Dawn was able to do her magic and have the title insurance issued and we closed without the 2 week delay.

How They Compare
In my day job, I was in charge of closing some big business deals for few years. Many of the deals were in 9 figures and the biggest one was in 10 figures. I have seen some great presenters and marketing/sales teams. Dawn's team would fit right in this league.

We had a few realtor interviews lined up and Dawn's team was the first to present. 10 minutes into the presentation, I felt that we can't do any better than Dawn's team. I canceled subsequent interviews and hired her team the same day.

Coming from a country where realtor commission is 1% of the sale, I always thought realtor commissions are too high in US. Dawn's team earned every last bit and deserves bonus. They are couple of classes above the others, fully deserve 7 stars.

Fantastic experience from start to finish!!! Dawn and her team were very motivated and dedicated to the sale of our house, providing detail on the process. Marketing was exceptional and she negotiated an amazing price. Then, with our subsequent search, she was attentive to our needs and provided opinion rather than simply being a 'yes' person. Dawn's team took the time to listen to us and we felt part of a team. Cannot recommend more......

Dawn and Ande are as good as it gets.
Our home sold in 4 days for WAY more than we could have ever hoped for.
We had buyers looking at our home from not only from the local area but also from all over the country. Their marketing abilities are truly next level.
Beyond their skills as realtors, their intrapersonal skills were excellent as well. We have 3 young children at home full time and Dawn and Ande took every extra step necessary to minimize the impact on our family.

Dawn Baltar and Jill Hardy were wonderful to work with. We can not sing their praises loud enough. We were in our home nearly 40 years and quite apprehensive about the "art" of selling and buying. Helpful, honest, friendly, bright, responsible, very professional are just a few of the words I can use to describe Dawn and Jill.

I told Dawn at the very onset that she would have to hold our hands every step of the way. She and her group did just that. Our texts and phone calls were answered almost immediately. We were constantly kept informed of all proceedings. We sailed through to the end in selling our home and buying our next home.

We would not hesitate to recommend The Baltar Group to anyone who is seeking a realtor.

Dawn Baltar and her team did a fantastic job throughout our entire selling experience. Our family had already relocated out of state but Dawn made sure every "i" was dotted and "t" was crossed on all of the items we needed to complete to get the house sold. She did an excellent job of staging and advertising the property and she hosted 32 showings in one weekend, resulting in offers over the asking price. She continued to work closely with all inspectors, contractors and the buyer's agent to ensure we met every milestone and deadline, enabling us to close in under 30 days. Throughout the entire process she proactively kept us up to date and apprised of every detail and situation. I cannot adequately express how delighted we were with the whole experience. Dawn and her team have our highest possible recommendation.

I want to thank Dawn (and her crew!) for the excellent job in selling my property in Folsom. Living over 300 miles away, the task of preparing the home for sale seemed daunting. Selecting Dawn as my realtor was the best decision I made. She arranged for bids and lined up contractors necessary to prepare the house for sale. Before going to market, she engaged a professional stager, which really enhanced the presentation. All of this while dealing with the challenge of the Covid epidemic. She was respectful to the occupants, making the whole process as painless as possible.

From start to finish (the house sold within days, above asking price), Dawn and her crew were there. Thank you so much!

Dawn Baltar is a Real Estate Rock Star! We had the great pleasure to work with Dawn in the last half of 2019.

We had been trying to sell a house in Fair Oaks, with the challenges of a sluggish market and a moderately challenging location. After an unsuccessful listing with another agent, we switched over to Dawn and her team. While the market was still challenging the differences were remarkable.

First, we worked with Dawn on some affordable aesthetic changes that gave the house a more modern feel. She also helped us to understand more clearly what types of things we needed to put in our disclosures. Dawn then priced the house in line with the market.

But the biggest difference was in activity. Dawn is relentless; she will not rest until your house is sold. Through open houses, and her savvy use of social media, we had constant and continual showings. Dawn would always follow up with the buyer’s agents after any showing to get feedback, and thereafter if there was still potential interest. When we eventually did receive an offer on the house, Dawn circled back with an earlier prospective buyer who had shown interest, and she was able to drive a much more solid offer scenario with a competing offer.

Dawn and her team are great to work with. They are super pleasant and very professional (and there is always someone on her team present for any showing). She also has a “guy/gal” for anything you might need.

Strengths:
•Super responsive; excellent communication
•Knows the market
•Relentless pursuit of activity/showings for your home
•Experienced and knowledgeable Realtor with sage advice
•Strong negotiation skills
•She and her team are great people and enjoyable to work with
