LIZ DAWES
Real Estate Strategist | Co-founder - The Dawes Team
Guest Intro:
Liz Dawes is a Florida real estate strategist with more than 30 years of experience helping buyers and sellers navigate changing markets with clarity and confidence. Based in South Florida, she has guided clients through multiple market cycles, shifting interest rates, and evolving economic conditions, developing a reputation for helping people make thoughtful decisions rather than reacting to headlines.
Her approach focuses on preparation, strategy, and understanding how real estate opportunities actually appear. Liz believes most people miss opportunities not because the market isn’t favorable, but because they aren’t ready when the right moment arrives. By helping clients think ahead and position themselves properly, she emphasizes that readiness consistently outperforms trying to perfectly time the market.
