Dawn Grainger

Associate broker

Native Taosena, se habla espanol.

  • 30+ years of local real estate experience

  • Dawn believes in a sustainable Taos.

  • Dawn knows Taos, is honest and loyal.

  • Where others fail, Dawn succeeds.

For Dawn, a successful deal is a sustainable deal, and a sustainable deal means that the relationship between agent and client does not end at closing. A sustainable deal requires a sustainable community, and Dawn, a proud local, embodies this principle. Dawn’s local. A native, bilingual Taosena, she is equal parts chess mom, soccer mom, artist, writer, book binder, and mentor to Taos youth. By giving back to her community, she helps to sustain it. Here for the long term. 

She approaches real estate deals the same way: for the long term success. Many of her clients have used her extensive local roots and knowledge of the market and, more importantly, community for many transactions. There’s a reason why many of her clients are repeat customers. It’s the same reason that many of her clients become longtime friends. Trust. And loyalty. Dawn’s 30+ successful years of real estate experience come from the trust given to her by her clients to loyally work with them. Trust and loyalty also are the foundation for friendships in Taos, something a local like Dawn understands. Trust loyalty. Trust Dawn!


Dawn Grainger is golden! She has been my agent through many transactions, and I credit her for my years of real estate success. She is one of the savviest business women I know, well-networked, and highly respected in her industry. She has my highest recommendation. If you have any real estate ambitions, you would be doing yourself a disservice not to work with her.

Dawn Grainger was referred to me by a friend who said she was a no nonsense realtor! Dawn was appropriately attentive, I always knew what was going on and her staging recommendations were smart. Her promotion of my property brought in a lot of traffic, and ultimately my asking price! If you want to sell your house, Dawn can make it happen!
