“Redfin Recommended” service providers are highlighted strictly as a resource, and are chosen based on their positive relationships with our agents, and/or consistently high customer reviews.
After working with hundreds of home buyers for over 28+ years now, I know what home buyers want most. They want to know what’s happening with “their” loan. My commitment is that you’ll know. I return phone calls and emails quickly. My customers ARE my top priority. Luckily I work with mortgage professionals where everything is done locally resulting in decisions made by people who understand our market. This results in faster approvals and closings. I look forward to working with you and exceeding your expectations.

Dawn's Reviews
We survey everyone who has submitted a loan application with this lender, whether the loan closed or not.
Truly an excellent, customer-centric experience from Dawn Crownover and her team. (Thank you!) This is how all mortgage companies should operate. Highly recommended.
Dawn and her team were incredibly responsive and communicative through the whole process. They led us through the process very efficiently and patiently. We were thankful to have such a professional team helping us secure financing for our home.
Dawn was so responsive and thorough throughout the process. She was quick to understand concerns and priorities that I had, and made me feeling very supported and in the right hands. I am most appreciative of Dawn's quick replies and timeliness. To make the full process happen, a quick lender who is on it - backed up by knowledge and experience - is key. Dawn has that.

Dawn was so helpful at every step. Super quick. Explained all the options to us. Closed us in 30 days even over the holidays. Highly recommended!
Dawn is very professional, friendly, and communicative! She helped me with more things than a lender typically does for you. This was my first house and she educated me on several technical details and helped me get the best rates I could. Overall, the whole process went easy and smooth with Dawn.
Dawn was a fantastic lender and I would recommend her to any potential home buyer. From our first introduction call, it was clear that Dawn is extremely knowledgeable and most importantly, very up-to-date on the mortgage market rates and trends. Once it was time for us to put together an offer and get approval, Dawn worked extremely quickly to get us approval with only a day's notice. After approval and offer acceptance, she and her team maintained clear and consistent communication to ensure we had the appropriate amount of time and information to complete all of the necessary paperwork. She and her team are amazing!!!
Dawn was an amazing lender partner during this whole process. This was my first time buying a home and I was nervous about navigating everything for the first time. Dawn and her team kept me informed every step of the process, helped me understand all of the different moving parts, and answered all of my questions without making me feel silly or like I was asking "dumb" questions. Working with Dawn was an absolute pleasure and gave me confidence in my decisions. I also felt extremely cofident that Dawn fighting for my financial goals as well.
Dawn was simply marvelous to work with! We immediately formed a connection and we knew that we wanted to work with her. She truly took care of us and made sure that we had the best home buying experience possible.
I really enjoyed my experience working with Dawn Crownover and her team at Opes Advisors. They were professional, helpful, informative, and their proactiveness allowed me to close early on my house. I would love to work with Dawn and her team again in the future.

Dawn was an excellent resource through the financing process. She and her team were quick to respond to all of our questions and kept us well informed of all deadlines and milestones. We felt that they were engaged in our process and working hard on our behalf to make sure the transaction went smoothly. On top of that, Dawn seems to have conservative financing principles and we always felt that she was trying to help us make a decision that was in our own best interests. She was straightforward with us about our how much we could qualify for, but also helped us find the sweet spot that met our goals for financial comfort while also allowing us to get a home that we love. We would recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a reliable financial advocate in the Seattle mortgage market.
I specifically worked with Dawn Crownover from Opes Advisors, and she was wonderful to work with. As a first-time home buyer, I had no idea what to expect as I was preparing for a mortgage, closing on a place, etc. With Dawn, I no longer felt overwhelmed; she always made sure I knew what was happening, what was coming up, what my role in each step was, and what/when I would be spending. I could not have asked for a more straightforward experience.
Dawn is the best! She was so great to work with and i've already recommended her to two other friends of mine. She was very efficient and communicated with ease. She got us approved in near record time and I appreciate her and her team so much.
Dawn is simply the best of the best if you want an engaged and informed loan officer. She went above and beyond making us feel both taken care of and less stressed about the whole situation.
I am very pleased with Dawn's professional support in arranging financing for my house purchase. She was always quick to return phone calls and answer questions. I suggest Opes Advisors provide a detailed check list of what actions are due on given date. This would help prevent any last minute last minute rush to meet a short fuse deadline.

Dawn and her team were a true blessing - not only did Dawn take the time to get to know us as individuals and a couple, but she educated us on the process involved with our home purchase and supported the decisions we made entirely. She often went out of her way to make sure we took swift action where necessary, and was always thorough and kind via email and phone (and text!). Her team is just as remarkable, leaving no stone unturned and no document unchecked the entire time, staying one step ahead of the game so we wouldn't have to. In fact, Dawn joined us for our final walk-through and we got to celebrate our closing day together! Happy to have Dawn as a friend and trusted adviser, and I would recommend her and her team to any and all.
Dawn and her team were fantastic. Always very quick to respond to our questions and patiently held our hands through the process as first time home buyers.
Can't say enough great things about Dawn and her team for our first-time homebuying experience! "The book" says you should get 3-4 mortgage quotes, so we got 3. The industry seemed to be so competitive at the time, that there was hardly any difference in rates and closing costs between lenders. That meant that customer service was the differentiating factor, especially in the very competitive Seattle homebuying market, and Dawn definitely won on that! My girlfriend (now fiance) were co-borrowers, adding a little extra complication to to the lending process, but Dawn made it not a big deal at all. She truly has the heart of a teacher and goes above and beyond in every aspect, including personally calling the sellers' agent to advocate for us and explain why our offer stands out among the others. She was patient, trustworthy and gave us space to make a decision on our lender of choice, but yet, she was very responsive at any hour of the day right away! Highly recommend Dawn and her team!
Dawn took the time to talk to me and understand what I was looking for. She made sure to remind me that she was working for me and I always felt like she was in my corner. She worked with me through the entire process, always checking in to make sure everything was good. When it came time to put in an offer she was quick to call the selling agent and advocate on my behalf. Dawn answered all my questions and maintained excellent communication with my agent.

Dawn was incredibly prompt and on top of everything. Throughout the process she made sure to help answer any questions I had and advised me on where I was financially. She always made sure that I had the best information to make decisions about the offers I was making and stressed that we find the solution that would best fit with what I personally was comfortable with, never pressuring me in any way.

Dawn takes customer service to the next level. She was happy to answer any questions we had and she answered them so quickly. The loan process with Dawn was also so fast. The financing was ready a week ahead of schedule. I would definitely use her again.
Dawn respond very fast!
She is so fast that make me feel we are have "phone call" communication! There are many times that I email her super earlier in the morning or late night (like 11pm), and was not expecting reply soon, but she always reply promptly!
She is so fast that made my home purchase close 2 weeks earlier that planned! We got the home on Oct 28 (Saturday), and started the official process on Oct 30 (Monday), and home purchase is closed on Nov 17!
Dawn is very helpful to get me a pre-approved for a mortgage loan and ensured full underwriting very fast!
Thanks Dawn!
Overall, Dawn is fast! Very FAST!

My husband and I had two other couple friends recommend Dawn, and we're so thankful they did! Dawn really is amazing, making herself available at every turn while putting in the extra dozen miles to help you get your house. She genuinely seems to care about her clients and we felt very safe in her hands as new home buyers.
Thank you Dawn!!
Dawn was quick to respond to questions and explained the process so I could understand. She helped get me pre-approved for a mortgage loan and then very quickly after ensured full underwriting was completed. I've purchased homes before but I've never had the financial approval process go so quickly before. That was great.
Dawn was teaching in one of the Redfin events about mortgage when we first met her and decided to work with her immediately. She was very knowledgeable, patient and responsive whenever we had a question. Dawn kindly called the seller agent to support our offer and put on good words about our financial situation every single time we made an offer. Thank you so much Dawn for you support!

Dawn has been a pleasure to work with during our home buying process. She is very knowledgeable and skilled in her work. Dawn is easy to get in touch with and works quickly to make sure deadlines are met with ease. She is certainly the person you want backing you financially especially in a market like Seattle.
Dawn was a rock star, calling to make sure I understood all the paper work, and getting the documents she needed for funding. She was very fast and efficient with getting the loan paper work to me and getting me approved.
She was supportive, professional, very knowledgeable. I strongly recommend her.
We loved working with Dawn- she gets it done, and fast! Dawn helped us refinance our condo last year and that transaction was smooth as could be. Our home purchase this year went just as smoothly, and we were able to close a full week ahead of time. Can't beat that! Thanks, Dawn!!

Dawn is very knowledgeable, both of the entire process of mortgage from beginning to end and of the interest rate environment. I remember our first phone call where she explained interest rate to me and I was very impressed. She always provide up-to-date information, answers my questions efficiently, and guided us until we closed the mortgage. Thank to her, we were able to close the deal within 30 days. We will definitely recommend her to our friend and family and will work with her again if we buy another home.
Dawn was great at making sure I could move quickly in buying a home. Very fast turn-around time from pre-approval through the whole loan process. She always knew exactly what the next steps were and was able to help puzzle out some of the more complex parts of my financial situation.

Dawn is a rockstar. We found a house we loved but were still in the beginning stages of the financial pre-approval process. We knew we had to move quickly and Dawn prioritized getting us pre-approval so we were able to bid on (and win!) our dream house 60 hours after it was first put on the market. She was quick to answer any questions and was excited for us all along the way.
I would highly recommend working with Dawn -- this lady gets it done!
Dawn went so far above and beyond it was amazing- she called the listing agent for every house we offered on to vouch for us. During closing, she was super responsive and made sure that the process was quick and stress free.
Worked hard to get fast pre-approval and completed everything much faster than expected. Extremely responsive. Knew things in detail. Advice proved to be excellent in hindsight. Everything was completed in record time, allowing us to move the closing date up by a week!
