Licensed since 2000 and based in National Harbor, MD, Dawn Garrett has spent more than two decades guiding clients across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC. Today, her practice is devoted to a single discipline: helping investors acquire residential investment property that produces yield and appreciates over time.

A team leader, seasoned negotiator and auction specialist, Dawn brings leverage to every transaction — from distressed acquisitions to off-market listings. Her investors don't browse listings; they review modelled opportunities against strict acquisition criteria.

"I don't just help people buy property — I help them build portfolios that create generational wealth."
