This is a full written transcript of the video testimonial shared by Nicole & Matt about their home selling experience with Dawne Nuri in Gainesville, Florida.

(Edited for Clarity Only)

Nicole:

Hi, my name is Nicole Sherouse, and I’m Matt Sherouse. We recently used Dawne as our real estate agent in Gainesville, where she sold our property.

We listed early in the fall, and after getting the home prepped and ready for sale, Dawne was on top of everything from start to finish. We wanted to talk about our experience working with Dawne and encourage anyone looking to sell or buy a home to consider reaching out to her.

The house needed some prep work — landscaping, window fixes, and other interior items. We’re located north of Tampa, a couple of hours outside Gainesville, and the biggest thing that worked out well was that Dawne coordinated her team of specialists and pros to handle everything without us needing to be there. That was extremely helpful because we couldn’t go back and forth.

Once everything was done, we signed the paperwork and got the house listed. Dawne took a completely different approach to marketing. It wasn’t just putting it on the MLS and waiting for a call. She did open houses and shared it with her network, but she also ran online advertising, created videos, and used staging photos since the house was vacant. Those extra details made it stand out far beyond what we expected from a typical agent.

Matt:

I went back and forth to Gainesville a few times to check on things, and everything was always good. Dawne even helped keep an eye on the house while it was vacant — making sure the AC and heat were on so there were no issues.

Nicole:

The house went through multiple seasons since it was listed in the fall and carried through winter. Dawne had people checking on it regularly, and we were really impressed by her communication. We received texts and emails updating us on showings, feedback, and whether any adjustments were needed.

What I appreciated most was that I didn’t have to ask what was going on — she stayed ahead of everything and communicated efficiently and clearly.

Matt:

When we finally reached the closing table, any delays had nothing to do with Dawne or the house — just the normal process. We were even able to pre-sign documents, and Dawne attended the closing on our behalf. She found a closing agent in Gainesville, handled everything locally, and made sure it all went smoothly.

Nicole:

Overall, we were thrilled with the entire process — the communication, the extra touches, and the strategy behind selling our home. Dawne stood out as a real estate specialist, not just an average agent, because of the additional marketing and care she put into the sale.

If you’re in Gainesville and looking to sell or buy a home, we absolutely recommend reaching out to Dawne. She knows the area, has an incredible network, and truly has your back — especially when you’re making one of the largest financial decisions of your life. We just want to say Thank you, Dawne.
