For the third year running, St. Louis Magazine readers have named the Dawn Griffin Real Estate Group Best Real Estate Agent on the A-List — in 2024, 2025, and 2026.

I'm proud of that. But I'm prouder of how it happens. Nobody hands out this award. St. Louis votes for it.

How A-List winners are chosen

The A-List Readers' Choice awards are decided entirely by the public. Here's how the process works:

1. Nominations. Each winter, readers write in the businesses they want to recognize. There's no pre-printed list to pick from.
2. Finalists. The five businesses with the most nominations in each category move on to the voting round.
3. Voting. In late spring, readers vote once a day per category over about four weeks. Voters have to login to an account, which helps guard against fraud.
4. Results.St. Louis Magazine reports results based "100 percent on the public's nominations and votes."

And no, you can't buy it. The magazine is clear that advertising doesn't guarantee a win.

The scale is real, too. Readers cast nearly 500,000 votes in 2024, nearly 360,000 in 2025, and more than 430,000 in 2026.

Those votes come from clients, neighbors, and friends who've seen our work up close. That's what makes this one mean so much. 

Awards are nice. Results pay the mortgage. Here are the reasons we hear most about why our clients work with us. 

Reason 1: Proven results

Awards are nice. Results pay the mortgage.

• 103% of asking price on average for our listings
• Top 1% of St. Louis agents by volume
• 1,000+ clients and more than $220 million in St. Louis real estate since 2004
• 300+ five-star reviews

We don't just list homes. We prepare them, price them with data, and market them so the right buyers fall in love fast.

Reason 2: We treat selling a home like the professional job it is

Your home is likely your largest asset. Selling it deserves a plan, a timeline, and a checklist for everything — not a sign in the yard and a hope.

Before your home hits the market, we tell you which repairs pay off and which to skip. We bring the contractors, stagers, and photographers who move fast. Then we launch with a strategy, not a guess.

Reason 3: A team of professionals on every important piece

With most agents, one person does everything. With us, you get specialists:

• Listing agent: Pricing strategy, negotiation, and your main point of contact
• Listing coordinator: Keeping prep, showings, and the launch on schedule
• Marketing specialist: Photography, 3D tours, floor plans, video, and a "Coming Soon" campaign
• Transaction coordinator: Every deadline and document from contract to closing

Each person focuses on what they do best. You get five-star service at every step, not a single agent stretched too thin.

Here's what our clients say

Thank you, St. Louis

Three years in a row is a reflection of every client who trusted us with their home and then told their friends. We don't take that lightly.
