Rickabaugh Realty, Inc. 

Dawn Rickabaugh, Broker, owns and operates Rickabaugh Realty, Inc. serving the communities of Pasadena, California and the San Gabriel Valley. She is a Senior Real Estate Specialist, a Short Sale Specialist, and has made a special study of the secondary trust deed market.  She loves teaching intelligent use of the Installment Sale. 

Dawn originally graduated from Brigham Young University in 1987 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and worked for several years in the ICU and ER at Huntington Memorial Hospital.  She now pursues her passion for helping people through traditional and innovative real estate transactions. She has four amazing teenagers, and loves her life in Temple City. 

"Both my mother and I have always wanted to pursue real estate, but it wasn't until a 'mid-life crisis' jarred me into a new career path that we left our nursing careers and joined forces to pursue our dream of working and serving in the real estate world. We are both very different, which is great, because we complement each other very nicely." 

Here's What We're About . . .

at the Note Queen, tradition meets innovation. We love teaching fiscal yoga. We're excited to introduce you to ideas that can increase your economic power through financial flexibility. When you're ready to sell property or paper, you can learn to hold monetary postures you never dreamed possible. Learn to meet your financial objectives regardless of market conditions.

We are passionate about:

  • Setting weary landlords free: learn how you can DO LESS and GET MORE by becoming the bank on your own property.

  • Giving our clients the competitive edge: get top dollar regardless of market conditions by offering terms, staging appropriately and maximizing your online presence. Your listing doesn't need to expire.

  • Empowering the FSBO: discover little known strategies that give you the BOFS (Best Opportunity For Success). 

  • Providing real estate brokers more tools for success: what you don't know about seller financing can cost you listings, sales and closed escrows. 

  • Helping CPAs and Attorneys provide excellent service: the Installment Sale can preserve your clients' wealth and create cash flow, but the transaction must be set up properly. You can save your clients money by requesting a Professional Note Appraisal on any notes currently held in portfolio. 

  • Getting instant cash to note holders: when you need money now, you want to be able to sell your note for minimum discount. 

How we can help: 

  1. We are available for consultation on any issues related to Seller Financing. We regularly consult with property owners, real estate brokers, attorneys, CPAs and note holders. 

  2. We are available to do a presentation at your office or for your particular group or organization.

  3. We are the perfect listing agents for Seller Carry Back transactions. We can help you get top dollar by maximizing your willingness to carry paper, and protect you through the process. The transaction needs to be set up properly and you need someone to help you do the underwriting so you have a note worth holding or selling. See our comprehensive and flexible menu of services.

  4. We can teach the FSBO how to do the same, and guide them through the process of setting up a winning transaction whether they want to hold a note or sell it for cash. FSBOs need powerful tools to beat out the competition.

  5. If you decide to carry paper and you end up wanting or needing cash, we will buy your note and get you your money in 30 days or less.

  6. If you have a real estate note and you wonder what it's worth, you can hire us to do a Professional Note Appraisal. The cost of this is waived if we end up buying your note within 30 days of the appraisal.
