About Sean Dammann
Selling over $30 million worth of real estate since 2002, Sean has plenty of awards to confirm that is one of DeKalb County's most successful real estate agents. However, rather than focus on racking up big numbers, Sean focuses on the community in which he works and the clients that he serves. Sean grew up in Virginia-Highland, graduated from Paideia and now lives with his family in the city of Decatur. He knows the local real estate market inside and out. Buyers looking for a home count on Sean's intimate knowledge of individual properties, and at the same time, are comfortable with Sean because he takes time to get to know them and their needs. "His listening skills and compassion, combined with his superior knowledge of real estate, is second to none," said one satisfied client. For sellers, Sean understands that every home is unique, with features that deserve special attention. Therefore, with a detailed marketing plan for each property, he does more than just list a house for sale; he serves as an advocate for the house. His work yields maximum value for the owner. A recent client said of Sean: "When making decisions, his sole goal was how to best sell the house at the best price, and never about what was easiest for him." Sean is entrenched in the local community. As a member of the Decatur Business Association executive board and active in the Decatur Education Foundation, local schools and neighborhoods, his highest honor is giving back to the community in which he lives. These connections pay off for clients of the Sean Dammann team as they can be certain that no one knows the local market better. About Kathi Sanders
