In Dawn's Own Words:

Real estate is serious business, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun while doing it.” A dynamic real estate market calls for a seasoned agent who’s not afraid to challenge the status quo. As co-owner of Domus Realty, Dawn brings a strategic, problem-solving mentality to every deal: “I take pride in what I do,” she says. “I’d never sell a house just for the sake of it—I find creative solutions to match the right clients with the right home.” Dawn comes by her passion for real estate honestly. Growing up in a construction family, she admired her father’s commitment to quality builds, and later worked as a carpenter herself. Though she’s always considered Nova Scotia home, Dawn has lived on both coasts of Canada (and a few provinces in between), which helped her appreciate different market conditions and architectural styles. Now, with more than 18 years of real estate sales experience—as well as courses in appraisal and ethics through the Real Estate Institute of Canada, and the world-renowned Negotiation and Leadership course at Harvard University—she’s uniquely qualified to identify homes with good bones and great layouts, finessing the best possible price. Dawn credits her lasting client relationships and frequent referrals to the skills she developed while playing for the National Women’s rugby team, even representing Canada at the World Cup. “My time as an elite athlete taught me to read people quickly and make connections,” she says. Those same qualities served her well on the Board of Directors for Rugby Canada, as a Regional Director for the Nova Scotia Association of Realtors and on the Brigadoon Village Board. “I always put my clients first and make sure they come out on top,” Dawn says of her philosophy. “But more than that, I love houses and understand what ‘home’ means to people. It’s not about just owning something, it’s the community you create around it.

Home Sale in Halifax | Jun 2026

I wish I had words to describe the experience that we had using Dawn as our real estate agent, but there aren't. Selling our house (in my mind) was a rather complex transaction. We were selling in Halifax and moving across the country. There were many moving parts, deadlines, and information that needed to be shared and completed promptly. Dawn expertly guided us through the entire process seamlessly. She was beyond professional and added her expert opinion in a timely and thoughtful manner. If anyone that we know is looking to buy or sell in the HRM Dawn is our only suggestion!! - Tom Meservia

Reply:    Rockstar clients from start to finish! It was an absolute honour to work with your family.

Home Sale in The Hydrostone, Halifax | May 2025

Dawn was amazing and helped us through the entire process of selling my Dad’s home. Any time we needed to hire someone to prepare the house for sale (plumber, electrical, home organizer, etc.) Dawn was able to give us a contact and each responded quickly and did excellent work. This was a very difficult time for us as we were selling after my father passed away. Dawn was thoughtful, knowledgeable, and had a calming effect when things were stressful. She made the whole situation easier for us and I couldn’t have done it without her. I highly recommend Dawn (and the extensive list of contractors that she knows) 😊 - Shelley MacDonald

Home Sale in Fairview, Halifax | Nov 2024

We worked with Dawn when buying our first home in 2019, so it was a no brainer when we decided to sell in 2024. We had a lot of “firsts” in this home, like expanding our family, adding a dog and a baby and it was obvious that Dawn understood our emotional attachment. She was thoughtful, honest and attentive throughout the entire process and made selling our home stress free. We highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking to buy/sell - she’s the best of the best! - natalie westhaver

Dawn was recommended to me by a real estate agent in Wolfville. She immediately impressed me with her diligent preparation. In the early stages of the sale Dawn was immensely helpful and mentored me through a stressful process. She offered good advice and contacts on home repairs, and staging. Her knowledge of house construction was very helpful. As a nervous senior, I think what I appreciated the most was her availability. I recommend her highly - Gene Barrett

Dawn was phenomenal. We were randomly looking at an open house one day and met her and from the second that we had a conversation we knew exactly how amazing she could be. She was so diligent and helpful with everything. As anyone who has bought a house knows, there are so many challenges and things that you have to talk about and Dawn helped us through it all. We would recommend her to anyone she was phenomenal, and we will certainly use her again in the future! - Tyler
