Words cannot describe how thankful my husband and I are that we chose to navigate our first home-buying experience with The Dawn Griffin team. Our buyer's agent, went above and beyond all expectations to make sure we got the best price on a house that was absolutely perfect for us.

New Home High Fives! Congratulations to Tom & Mel New Home High Fives!  Congratulations to Tom & Melissa on finding their forever home! 🏡

Some home journeys are years in the making.

Tom and Melissa met in graduate school, built a life together, purchased their first starter home, and patiently saved and planned for what would come next. After years of dreaming and preparing, they’ve officially found their forever home in University City.

For them, this move is about more than square footage—it’s about creating the lifestyle they’ve worked so hard for. A more convenient location for work and travel. A welcoming space for gathering family and friends. A primary suite they can design and make their own. Quiet evenings on the front porch. Morning walks with Bella 🐕 beneath the canopy of U. City’s beloved tree-lined streets. 🌳

Tina had the privilege of working alongside Tom and Melissa for nearly a year as they thoughtfully searched for just the right fit. Watching clients reach a goal they've been working toward for so long is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do, and this one feels especially sweet.

And the journey isn't over yet! Next up: helping them prepare their adorable Kirkwood cutie for the market. Stay tuned—you won't want to miss this one. 👀🏡

Congratulations, Tom & Melissa! We can't wait to see all the memories you'll create in this next chapter. ❤️

May's national numbers tell a quieter story than t May's national numbers tell a quieter story than the headlines suggest: steady sales, more inventory, faster-moving homes, and prices still on the rise.

But zoom into St. Louis, and our housing market is punching above its weight. Local price gains are leaving the national average in the dust. Swipe to see what’s happening.
