Moving from Michigan was a big deal for us! We had a very specific style of home we wanted and were struggling to find with such low inventory. Dawna & Ray even drove through our favorite neighborhood to put letters in mailboxes of homes that matched our taste to improve our chances. We ultimately got the home we wanted, in our favorite neighborhood and Dawna helped us negotiate a great price!

Our family had to sell my grandparents property in Chicago. We thought The Watsons only worked in the suburbs, but they took care of everything. From the initial meeting of market value and what they have to offer, they were the clear choice. All the way to the point we didnt have to go meet them out there. The whole thing was handled quickly and easily! They are the only team we will work with.

Found a house the first day looking, due much in part to Ray being great in advance of going out, constantly sending me listings and tweaking my requirements, making the day to go actually find a place easy and informed.When Ray told me what my house could sell for I didnt believe him. Sold for way more than I expected and The Watsons were very helpful in giving me advice for getting my house ready. Im really happy with their listing services!

Ray & Dawna were awesome, they helped my siblings and I sell my Moms home is 2 days, above asking price! They helped with staging, photos and the closing. I highly recommend Ray & Dawna - they know their stuff!!!

This is a LONG overdue review. We are thankful for the care Ray & Dawna gave to the sale of our family home.From the initial meeting with the whole family to explain the process and also walk through the home, to giving us specific advice on how to prepare for photos and showings, a lot of time went into the overall preparation and staging of the home. We were very pleased with the marketing, especially the drone photography, which sure generated a great level of interest in our property. We had a unique plan for our move, which not only involved a sale contingency, but also a purchase contingency. The Watsons were flexible in coordinating each step, making the process go as smooth as possible. We definitely recommend this team, wholeheartedly. You really need someone like the Watsons when it comes to the sale of your home.When you hear your Buyer tell you at the closing that, I really liked your guys....much better than mine, that sure tells you a lot about the professionalism and the high quality of service that the Watsons provide. They were THE BEST....HANDS DOWN!

Had a great experience with The Watson Team with for sale of my home and purchase of a new one. My expectations were exceeded when we received multiple offers and sold above asking price. When it came time to find my next home, the inventory was low so we had to come up with a good strategy to beat the competing offers. With the guidance of Dawna we got a great home that was really the nicest one we saw out of all of them. Were very happy with our purchase and looking forward to many happy years enjoying it with our dogs.

I met with Ray & Dawna on a Tuesday. By Wednesday they had Bea McDunnough with Ace Relocation out to give me a moving estimate.On Thursday photos were taken, they also did a live video tour that had over 4,000 views! By Friday I had so many showings and multiple offers, we had to make a deadline of Saturday morning and then my house sold far above asking price.My move was due to a great job opportunity out of state and I wanted to move quickly, they made everything so easy, all the way down to the attorney. So glad I chose The Watson Team!

A friend referred us to Dawna after another agent didnt work out. We interviewed more than one agent and felt Dawnas 25 years of experience would help us buy a home in a very specific neighborhood that had a lot of buyers competing. We saw several homes and were able to get in the exact day they each hit the market, which is how we secured a contract on our home immediately. On the day of closing there were some issues, but Dawna took photos of everything we were concerned about and sent them to the attorney, so hed be prepared before we arrived. She was always available to answer our questions and look into our concerns. We felt she really cared about our family!

I first met Dawna and Ray through a personal friend over a year ago when I thought I was going to sell my rental property. I decided to rent the unit for another year and during that rental time Dawna kept in touch with me knowing that eventually I was going to sell. Once we put the unit on the market the communication between Ray, Dawna was constant. I would receive emails weekly From Ray indicating what websites the unit was marketed on as well as how many hits happened during that week. I travel a lot for business, because the unit was empty Dawna and Ray staged the unit with money out of their own pocket to improve the showing quality. I received 2 offers while I was out of town and through communication with Dawna received a full price offer and sold the unit.I can not say enough about the Watson Team, communication, promptness, attention to detail and trust made this the best real estate transaction that I I have ever had. Both of them know that I will be using them again for our next transaction. They are simply the best as what they do! If you are planning on selling or buying a house look, no further you wont be disappointed, I can promise you that.

My parents used Ray & Dawna for 2 properties, Des Plaines and Arlington Heights. They came prepared with market research for the area, examples of their professional advertising they do for clients, and everything needed to list the properties. Including how to get it ready! They helped us with recommendations for staging, painting, and professional pictures. Dawna has quite a gift for staging, I think she could have an equally successful career at decorating! Everything came together quickly and their team has all the resources and contacts in so many areas to get a lot of traffic through the properties. They even helped us find reliable contractors to help paint and get everything ready and all fixed up. We will most definitely use the Watsons for all our real estate estate needs. I Highly recommend!!

I sold my home and purchased a new home with help from the Watson team. They had my home listed and had an offer in quicker than I could even find my new one! They found me a beautiful home that had everything I wanted the next weekend. When we ran into some last minute issues on the buyers end, the Watson team went above and beyond in helping me. I honestly cannot express enough how kind and communicative they are. We sold my home and I am finally in my dream home! Thank you!

I have known the Watson Team for nearly 15 years. I am always happy to refer them! I find them very genuine and professional. I love their attention to detail and know they are a great resource for both buyers and sellers. I have referred them and have had friends use them over the years. They truly give their all. You will not regret having the Watson Team working for you!

Dawna is AWESOME!!!! I love her professionalism, dedication to her industry, performance, and knowledge. I have known her for at least 8 years and she sold my husband’s home in St. Charles. It was about five days before Thanksgiving and she sold that house in 2 days. It actually was unbelievable I couldn’t believe all the pictures that got up on every social media site and the listings got up very quickly and the house was sold. I would use the Watson team when I sell my house because they know what they’re doing

They truly are the best of the best. From their knowledge of the industry, use of social media, ability to navigate any buy or sell, there is no better than Ray and Dawna Watson. They genuinely care about their clients and have the professional skill to get the job done. As an attorney, I have referred them clients, and Ray and Dawna have always succeeded for them. If you want it done right, you want Ray and Dawna.

Ray and Dawna were great to work with. They made the process easy and went above and beyond with helping to facilitate things. They were able to provide excellent referrals for plumbing and electrical work that was needed. I will use them next time I buy or sell a house.

Great team to work with. Appreciated the professional way they guided me through the process. Would definitely use this team again.DB Walton

Katelyn is the best! She found the perfect home for our family in a very short period of time as, we were moving from another state. She kept all of our criteria in mind and didnt try to push into something that didnt meet our needs.

Have had all great experiences with this realtor.They are experienced, trustworthy and never leave you feeling abandoned or uninformed.Enjoy all their educational communications as well that show how caring they are, and that their business contacts stay informed not just with real estate matters but other life situations that matter.

Dawna and Ray would great to work with and very professional. We sold quickly and they helped us through the entire process.

Helped me with buying my first house. Were able to recommend a great lawyer and mortgage lender. Katelyn Mucci was great to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in the area.

Bought my first home with Ray, great to work with. Did not waste our time with bad homes, helped us find what we wanted! Thanks Ray!

Used the Watson team for two purchases and one sale, quick and as pain free as possible each time.

Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I had the best experience.

Had 4 offers after the first weekend our house was listed. They know how to price a property to sell.

Love this team!
