Getting to know Dawson "Dusty" Harris.
Getting to Know: Dawson “Dusty” Harris.
Born and raised in the heart of Orange County, Dusty has made this his home for life. He and his wife, Nancy, have lived in the North Tustin community with ALL of their rescued animals…..at last count, 8 cats and 3 dogs.
While attending Cal State University Fullerton Dusty decided to get his business degree in Real Estate, a division on the Finance department. Many agents and brokers get into real estate as a second career while Dusty jumped in feet first and has never looked back.
The early days were tough going considering interest rates were around 16%+ back in 1981 but persistence paid off. His first sale was an oceanfront teardown that also happened to be a Probate that needed court confirmation. The entire process was educational to say the least…..and now; Probates, Trust and Divorce cases make up a good portion of his business annually.
In addition to being a Broker Associate, Dusty also has designations as a Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist, Seniors Real Estate Specialist, Luxury Property Specialist, Harcourts Auction Accredited and a B. A. in Real Estate Finance.
Sellers today needs to know they have choices when it comes to marketing their real property. The traditional method of selling these days does not always have a successful outcome. Listings expire, get canceled or withdrawn from the market due to lack of showings or worse, no offers for consideration. Harcourts offers an exclusive alternative method of marketing which results in more showings and ultimately offers. A good majority of homes listed with Harcourts are expired listings from other companies that only offer the traditional method for marketing. On average, 90% of our listings are in escrow in under 40 days.

What Dawson "Dusty" Harris's Clients are Saying.
We met Dusty in the early 1990s and over the years our friendship grew. We were interested in acquiring a second home or more income property somewhere along the Orange coast but were not in a rush or hurry to do so. Dusty never pressured us and always kept in touch with us throughout the months and years. We knew that when the time came Dusty would get our business. We eventually called him to say we were ready to buy and he followed through and found us a rare duplex on the Bayfront in Newport Beach. He is and will be the only broker I will recommend to those looking to sell or buy in Orange County.

Dusty has sold two of our homes and represented us in the purchase of another, our current residence. Each time he has represented us he was complete and competent professional. His knowledge and experience in his field is of the highest quality. It was important to us to not only have an experienced professional but an educated professional….Dusty was both. We will only work with him again in any future transactions

We originally found Dusty because he was the listing broker for a home we purchased back in 1993. He was highly professional and very honest. We used Dusty seven years later to list our home and locate a new home which met our specific needs. He skillfully handled the closing of one escrow to coincide with the closing of our new home. He handled all of these transactions in a way which minimized our anxiety. We will use Dusty the next time we sell or buy a home. We highly recommend Dusty Harris for all your real estate needs.
My wife and I have used Dusty for multiple transactions over the years and he has always been great to work with. He understands the market and has always had our best interests at heart. He listened to our requests and followed through with them without trying to change our minds to make a quick sale. He is always responsive and takes the time to walk you through the entire purchase process, I would recommend Dusty to my family and friends.

I have known Dusty for many years, so when it came time to sell our home that we had for over 30 years Dusty immediately came to mind. He was a professional, up front and totally honest and detailed. I would recommend him to anyone

My wife and I have known Dusty for many years. To date we have completed two high end transactions. The first was locating a large parcel of land to build our dream home. After months of searching he came up with just the perfect parcel in south Orange County. It took two years to construct but we ended up with a 13,000 SF + estate, pool, six car garage and tennis court on approximately 4 acres.
The most recent sale was in Newport Beach’s, Harbor Ridge. We bought a 12,0000 SF estate with 20 car garage, pool, koi pond and panoramic ocean and city lights views. Without Dusty’s hard work and persistence we may never have acquired these incredible properties.

Dusty Harris helped my wife and I purchase our first home, where we still live to this day. He was a wealth of knowledge when it came to everything involving the purchase, including the financing. I consider Dusty a close friend as well as a great realtor. Any questions that I ever asked about real estate are always directed to Dusty. He is extremely professional and always responds in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Dusty to anyone looking to sell, buy or invest in real estate.

Dusty Harris is an expert in his profession. I was referred to him by my neighbor and was so lucky to have him sell my home in Newport Beach. He advised me to hold off on an offer and by doing so I received an offer $175,000. over my asking price. With his guidance everything went smoothly.
Dr. Henry Nguyen
Buying a house is a stressful process, but working with Dusty made it so much easier. He was attentive to all our requests, helped us to find what we were looking for in a home and on top of all the paperwork, disclosures, inspections, and the whole buying process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
Brian and Duffi Crowson
Buyer
We chose Dusty as our Realtor to sell our home in Orange County when we moved to Colorado. Not an easy process with us not being present, but Dusty made it all go smoothly. He gave good recommendations for the repairs and upgrades needed and recommended contractors with bids and coordinated all the work in our absence and kept it under budget. The entire time he stayed in communication with us and nothing was decided or done without our consent. All said and done, he ended up getting us an offer above our asking price. If and when we decide to move back Dusty will be our first call.
