Robert Stewart recommends Dawna Bledsoe

I recently moved to Shreveport to be closer to my son’s family. Soon after, I met Dawna via inquiry into a house she had listed as the seller’s agent. Although I did not make an offer on that house, Dawna began sending me additional listings that came on the market based on my stated preferences. I gradually realized that what I thought I wanted in a house did not actually meet my current circumstances and needs. Dawna was very understanding and responsive, and she began sending me listings that met my revised preferences. When we eventually identified a house that I wanted to make an offer on, Dawna’s expertise in use of available online real estate tools for preparing and submitting timely offers, counteroffers, and final approval documents were invaluable to successfully reaching a final closing. Initial offer to final closing was a smooth, efficient process.
Dawna demonstrated effective working relationships with allied service providers (e.g., home inspectors, mortgage loan officers, homeowner's insurance agents, title attorneys, escrow officers, etc.) involved directly and indirectly in the home purchase process. {*Note: I gave Dawna a ‘neutral’ review score for Negotiating Skills because the housing market at the time of purchase was a solid "Seller's Market"; and allowed very limited "Buyer" negotiating leverage}.
I believe Dawna represented my overall interest very well, and I highly recommend her for providing similar real estate services in our area.

Dawna came highly recommended! She helped a good friend of mine with her home in the same neighborhood. Dawna provided guidance and helpful information throughout the entire process. She was readily available any time I had a concern or question. She has become a friend, not just a realtor. Will absolutely recommend her to others!

To whom it may concern:
We would like to take this opportunity to recommend Dawna Bledsoe (Next Home). She really listened to our unique needs and searched for homes with our narrow criteria. In addition, she did all the paperwork for two houses prior to the house we finally purchased. We knew we could trust her to do things in our best interest and walk us through the tedious process of buying a home. She was always punctual, with a smile on her face. Her expertise and recommendations were so helpful, including information for transferring utilities and mail delivery. In addition, we are so pleased with her performance that we have chosen her to sell our current home.

Client

Bridget did such an amazing job selling out townhouse. She was always in communication with what was going on, always on top of making sure all paper work was completed, and she sold our townhouse in 8 days! If you need more proof of how awesome she is, she sold my in-laws house in FOUR hours! She has a great eye for things to do around your home that’ll help sell it quicker. And also a great taste for decoration!

Bridget handled my property sale in an excellent manner. She is very efficient, has excellent communication skills and stays on task to get the job done quickly. She also has a great group of resources she can call upon to help with any property issues that come up during the sales period. We went from initial contact to a closed sale in about 30 days.

Dawna Bledsoe was an awesome realtor who went above and beyond to make our first experience of buying a home a wonderful one. She was efficient, thorough, and always eager to help. Dawna was always available to answer questions whether in person, by phone, or email. She takes the time to get to know you and what you’re looking for and spends time explaining specifics and details in order to relieve stresses or concerns. I look forward to working with her again in the future.

Steve Jacobs recommends Bridget Jones

Mr

Bridget Jones is a highly competent and astute realtor. She has a positive, can do, personality. We did everything that she suggested preparing our home for sale and sold it with in 5 hours of listing. In the current market, that is nothing short of amazing. Her skills at negotiation are far superior than any I have ever seen. She took care of every detail for us in an extremely professional and honest manner. I highly recommend Bridget. You will be very pleased.

Cindy Joyner is one of the most professional realtors I have ever known and a pleasure to work with. Over the course of the last 6 months, I utilized her services for both buying and selling a home and would not hesitate recommending her to the most discriminating clients.

Throughout the entire buying and selling process, Cindy was caring, creative, conscientious and motivated. Her work-ethic was extraordinary. She was easy to stay in contact with and would return emails and phone calls promptly. I always felt as though we were her only clients even though I knew she had a very busy schedule.

Cindy went above and beyond in every aspect of the buying and selling process. You won’t be disappointed if you choose her as your realtor.

Brittany Rivers recommends Dawna Bledsoe

I highly recommend Dawna if you are searching for a new home! From the time we first met all the way to us closing on our new home she listened to all of our wants and needs. Any time we had a question she was always there to answer us and help guide us in the right path. I've always heard people talk about what a nightmare closing on their new home was so I was dreading the process. But it was so easy that many times I thought my husband and I should be doing more. Dawna took care of everything and I feel having her as our relator is what gave us such an easy and wonderful experience buying our first home!

Claude Friesland recommends Cindy Joyner

General Manager

Cindy did an awesome job! She worked closely with my wife to review all our needs and showed her the right houses and walked us through the entire process. I enjoyed the fact she didn't push houses out of our price range or bother us with ones she knew we wouldn't select. Cindy also connected us with a reasonable contractor to do some touching up and even reached out to us a week after the sale to see if there was anything she could do to assist with moving into the home. I would highly recommend Cindy for any of your housing or business needs, she is one of a kind.

Jackie Hawkins recommends Cindy Joyner

Cindy was recommended to me by a friend as I needed to look for a home in the Shreveport area and was literally a Godsend. We quickly became friends ourselves. She found out my criteria and we looked at houses one day for her to have a feel for my style. We lived out of town and she was always on the lookout for a home for me. She was in touch with me weekly. We found a home online and she went to look at it for me, then when our house sold she really went to work, from the time we put in our offer to the day she handed us our key, Cindy took care of every detail for us, she checked on work that had to be done on the house to making sure all paperwork was done for closing and all went so smoothly because Cindy dotted all I’s and crossed all T’s. She was amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling.

Ouida Adams recommends Dawna Bledsoe

Representational Paralegal

Too bad there is not an option for 10 stars as Dawna would rate all 10!!! My husband and I started our house search in May and was fortunate enough to contact Dawna Bledsoe. We have been in our present home 44 years and had no clue how to navigate today’s real estate market. Dawna helped us with everything and was extremely patient when we were confused and uncertain! I highly recommend Dawna Bledsoe, who in my opinion is the best agent in Shreveport/Bossier!!

Aug 2, 2018 at 12:25PM
Carla Sepulvado Anderson recommends Dawna Bledsoe

Dawna's entire business model centers around one thing: her client's happiness. Professional, patient, and passionate are the three key words I can use to describe her. Professional in that she was always available to answer questions/give guidance, patient in that she literally looked at homes with us for three (YES THREE) years before we finally found "the one," and passionate in that her ultimate goal was seeing our family (especially our two girls) come home to a place where memories will be cherished and family time takes priority. Highly recommended.

I have bought and sold 4 houses with Dawna now and would not think of ever using anyone else.

Ann Ray recommends Cindy Joyner

Official Title: Content Editor/// Unofficial Title: Business Manager/POA for my Mom

Cindy was my Realtor in the sale of my Mom's home on Cross Lake. Since I live in Virginia, I was pretty nervous dealing with all of the details involved with selling a home from almost 1,000 miles away -- especially this home, which was vacant and needed updates that we couldn't afford to make.

Cindy handled the countless details for me, gave me advice (when asked) on what to do/not do to ensure that my Mom got maximum possible profit, recommended (or found) repair and other contractors when we needed them and even made the appointments when I couldn't. She worked with Mom's neighbors, the estate sale company, cleaners and others who occasionally needed access to the house.

She was super responsive to all of my requests and questions and if she didn't know the answer to something, she didn't pretend that she did, but she got it pronto! And her advice was always sound. She kept me updated every step of the way, from listing to closing.

I never ever questioned whether Cindy was truly representing Mom's interests. I never felt pressured to accept a not-so-great offer, lower the price or do anything out of desperation, even when I was feeling a bit desperate!

Cindy is professional , compassionate and straightforward and she's sweetie but she's no pushover. I greatly appreciated her sense of humor, too (if you've ever sold a home, especially as POA for a loved one, you know what I mean)!

If you're checking out Cindy's profile and reviews because you're looking to buy or sell a home in NW LA, you can be rest assured that you've just found your Realtor -- and I say this as someone who has bought (and sold) homes in 4 different states. You won't find a Realtor better than Cindy Joyner anywhere. Of that, I'm certain.
