Working with Dawn is a partnership that has allowed me to feel involved but not burdened by the details of the real estate transaction. It has been nothing but a pleasure buying and selling my homes. How often do we get to say that when making real estate transactions?<br><strong><em>- Kimberly Hall, Associate Director, Women's Resource Center, University of Utah</em></strong></p> <p>Awards/Designations:</p> <p>Distinguished Service Award, 2018, 2020, 2021 - Salt Lake Board of Realtors</p> <p>Realtor 500 Top Producer and Hall of Fame, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024 - Salt Lake Board of Realtors</p> <p>Salt Lake Board of Realtors Hall of Fame - Gold, 2011-2013; Platinum, 2014-2024<br>Coldwell Banker President's Elite (Top 3% of All Sales Associates Internationally)</p> <p>Coldwell Banker Distinguished Service Award, 2014</p> <p>Salt Lake Board of Realtors Good Neighbor Award nominee, 2014; Good Neighbor Award recipient, 2019</p> <p>Number 1 agent, Sugar House office, 2014 and 2016-2019; 2024.</p> <p>Number 2 Small Team company wide, 2020, 2021, 2022; Top 10 Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage company wide, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024</p> <p>Customer Service Award, Sugar House office</p> <p>Q Salt Lake 2017 Fabby Award Winner - Best Real Estate Agent, First Place</p> <p>Global Luxury Specialist Designation - Luxury homes</p> <p>National Association of Realtors GREEN designation</p> <p><strong>Mary Lawlor - Business Partner/Team Member</strong></p> <p>Licensed Real Estate Agent</p> <p>Member Salt Lake Board of Realtors</p> <p>BA, English, University of Nebraska</p> <p>Medieval and Renaissance studies, Oxford University</p> <p>Post-baccalaureate licensure, English Language Arts, University of Minnesota</p>
