Established in 2007 by Zeebster Colasanti, Dream Seeker Estates has proudly positioned itself as a leader in the virtual real estate market. They are the second-largest private estate in Second Life and the current 2025 Avi Choice Awards recipient.
With parcels ranging from 512m² to 65536m², Dream Seeker Estates has a place you can call home or start a business, and you don’t even have to be a premium member to acquire land! I can speak from firsthand experience about the service DSE provides. The SL Enquirer Media Center has been located in one of its many regions for the past 6 years. I sat down with Candy Dreamseeker to learn more about DSE and what makes it one of the top SL real estate companies on the grid.
Interview with Candy Dreamseeker, Dream Seeker Estates Marketing Manager
Lanai: Hi Candy, it is a pleasure to meet with you. I know you are a busy lady out here, being a successful Marketing Manager and Corporate Avatar. That is such an important role, Zeebster must be proud. Let me start by saying thank you for the exceptional service you and all of DSE’s support team provide to not just SLE, but for the many other tenants who call Dream Seeker Estates home. You’ve been on the grid for over 14 years. Can you share with our readers how you discovered Second Life and how you became part of the Dream Seeker Estates team?
Candy: It's a pleasure to meet you too! Thank you so much for the compliments, Zeebster and the entire team are so very proud of all the accomplishments we have made over the years. So, I've actually been part of Second Life for more than 22 years now although Candy was created 14 years ago for DSE. I discovered Second Life after playing another virtual world game, and what immediately captured my attention is that Second Life was a blank canvas and I was so amazed that everything in SL was created by the residents! Back then, Second Life was very different. This was before mesh and sculpty, when the mainland was where everyone gathered and explored. I've had the privilege of watching Second Life grow and evolve over the years, and it's been an incredible journey. It has truly been life-changing for me. Not only have I been able to pursue my creativity, but I also met my RL husband here in 2006! What has kept me here is the freedom to express my creativity and bring even my wildest ideas to life, knowing there would always be others who shared that same passion.
As for Dream Seeker Estates, I was building a family community at the time and wanted an estate company that truly believed in helping communities thrive. I explored several estates, but Dream Seeker Estates immediately stood out. Their team was genuinely engaged, responsive whenever I needed assistance, and made me feel like their residents and the community mattered. It was refreshing to find a company that invested not just in the land, but in the people and the dreams behind it.
Once I became a resident, I quickly understood why Dream Seeker Estates had earned such a strong reputation. Their success comes from a genuine commitment to creating spaces where people feel welcome, supported, and inspired to build communities they truly love. I've now been working with Dream Seeker Estates for more than 17 years and have worn many different hats along the way. Overall, as you said in your opening, seeing our commitment to exceptional service recognized by the community, especially through winning the Avi Choice Award for Favorite Land Company really brought everything full circle for us. We're incredibly grateful to our residents and the community for their trust, support, and recognition over the years.
Lanai: I agree with what you said about DSE and its genuine commitment to the professional services you all provide. I love it here. Behind the scenes, I know there is a lot involved in marketing; in fact, you play a vital role, as it is what keeps businesses relevant and successful. What does a day in Second Life look like from your perspective as you manage DSE?
Well, no two days are ever the same, and that's one of the things I love most about my role. I usually start my day by checking messages, catching up with our management team, and making sure everything is running smoothly before shifting into marketing mode. From there, every day is a little different. I might be planning events, creating advertisements, managing our social media presence, producing promotional videos, or brainstorming new ways to showcase everything Dream Seeker Estates has to offer.
A big part of my job is connecting with people. We love finding meaningful ways to support our community, from sponsoring charities like Relay for Life and Doctors Without Borders to collaborating with content creators and building partnerships that highlight their creations within our landscaping. At the end of the day, when our residents are excited about their homes, businesses, and events, and we can match that excitement by supporting their vision, I know we've done our job. That's what makes every day worthwhile.
Lanai: I love that. It takes a strong, dedicated team and a great leader to make it work. Zeebster has definitely established that with Dream Seeker Estates. The website is very well put together and easy to navigate. Can you share with our readers who makes up the support team and describe their roles?
Candy: The support team consists of Anjel Sweetwater, Lillith Ravenwood, RuRu Macbain, and Trixie Pooh. Each member is a Senior Support Agent with authority to handle nearly all day-to-day estate management: from tier transfers and reclaims to estate manager additions, removals, and escalation to Linden Lab should the need arise. If our support team is unable to resolve the issue, it is escalated to Manager Renae Daines.
Together, the team handles around 4,000 support requests each month through in-world IMs, notecards, our support kiosk, and our web support portal, with Discord support planned for the future.
Lanai: That’s impressive. What type of properties are currently available?
Candy: We have properties that focus on Moderate and Adult Residential, Moderate and Adult Commercial, Moderate Farmland, Moderate Neighborhood, Moderate and Adult Unzoned, and Single-Tenant Homesteads and Full Regions.
Lanai: DSE has it covered with something for everyone! Can you describe the process for first-time land renters?
Candy: We've taken great care to ensure all the necessary information is provided on the land itself. The sign that is present on all of our available properties covers the price per week, the purchase price, how many days are provided with the purchase, the prims, the size, the zoning, and maturity.
Upon landing on a property one of our sales staff reaches out to provide any assistance with the buying process. Some prefer a more hands-off approach while some may prefer more supportive assistance to find their perfect home. This just depends on each individual person and we respect their decision.
Once purchased, the sales agent would walk them through where their tierbox is located, how to contact us for assistance, invite them to the group, and answer any outstanding questions they may have.
Lanai: That level of support is so helpful. Do you host any specials for your residents? Are there any restrictions?
Candy: We provide a generous referral program in which if you refer someone to Dream Seeker Estates, as long as they have paid for 4 weeks of rent and are new to the estate, we will pay you for bringing them to us. You do not need to own land with us to be paid and it is paid out in Linden Dollars. You can find more information on our referral system by clicking on any of the signs on the parcels or by visiting the support article here: https://support.dreamseekerestates.com/hc/en-us/articles/218286298-Sales-Referrals.
As for restrictions, most of our covenant limitations are aimed at keeping the atmosphere enjoyable, beneficial, and fair for all tenants. This means we encourage tenants to avoid political or religious campaigning simply because it invites conflict. And if a tenant has questions on if they can or cannot use a space for their specific use-case, they can always reach out to our support team to get a definitive answer.
Lanai: Readers, DSE also offers Landscaping services; all you have to do is visit the DSE Land store and book an appointment!
If you are interested in being part of the DSE Team, simply apply at the land store.
Candy, thank you for taking the time to share what Dream Seeker Estates has to offer the residents of Second Life. I look forward to meeting some more new neighbors!
