Testimonials

SENIOR FAMILY MEMBERS

“When my aunt became ill and could no longer live alone, I needed help selling her home and finding her an assisted living facility. Living in New Jersey and being unable to leave my mother alone, it was crucial that I find a realtor I could trust. Dori was absolutely perfect. She made this process quick and easy. Not only did she sell my aunt’s place quickly, she helped find trustworthy people to pack up, take furniture to sell on consignment, and move things into the assisted living facility. Dori communicated with me throughout the entire process. She stays in touch to see how my aunt is doing. Not only is Dori a terrific realtor, she is a compassionate, caring person who did something very difficult to do - she earned my trust and respect. I highly recommend her.” Donna S.

"After my father decided to relocate to Florida, I contacted Dori. We wanted an affordable property in a location that would enable us to regularly get together and for me to better assist him in his long term goal of thriving in his own home. Dori stepped to the plate and worked side by side with us until we found the right place." Shane S.

SENIORS

How would I grade Dori McKearn? I would give her an A-PLUS!

She is a lovely, intelligent, conscientious, soft-spoken friend who became my realtor when I was ready to sell my condo & move to a senior residence in the Palm Beach Gardens area.

I knew Dori would cover all bases & do her best to sell my condo on Singer Island. I also knew as a friend that she would help me with the psychological repercussions of this big change in my lifestyle. There were days when I felt sad & overwhelmed, wondering if I had made the right decision.

Dori took me under her wing & gave me excellent advice. She wanted to make my condo attractive to buyers who wanted to live on the ocean, enjoy a fantastic view & buy a well-maintained unit where everything "worked"! She advised me to paint my walls a neutral color, organize my closets, store away personal items and all clutter, purchase new screens & remove personal items. It looked like a lovely hotel suite by the time the first showing arrived! I said to myself, "Why am I leaving?"

As far as her professional qualities, I would recommend Dori in a minute! She handled every form, every legal question, & all the background Information necessary, from our first conversation to the final day of closing.

I have a big smile on my face as I realize how much Dori helped me move onto this new rung on the ladder of my life. I have moved within this last week to my new residence & I feel very relaxed, very satisfied & very happy! Ann M.

"I am a retired business executive. I chose to work with Dori because I liked the quality of her approach to marketing and concluded that she'd work hard and persistently on our behalf. My impressions were confirmed." Sal N.

"The only regret I have about closing is that I won't be able to talk with her anymore.” George P.
