Testimonials
Dana has helped us buy 2 homes and sell 1 in the last 2 years. We were new to the area when Dana helped us buy our first home. When we decided to sell our house Dana helped us from staging to closing. The house sold in 4 days at full asking price. Dana helped us with our most recent purchase from a very difficult seller. Buying and selling houses can be very stressful; Dana’s patience and understanding of our situation improved our buying and selling experience.

- Home Buyer & SellerDana was a great asset to us in our attempt to secure a special property in our neighborhood. She spent the better part of 4 years negotiating with a stubborn and unrealistic seller with no promise of any commission if everything fell through. Every interaction is professional and courteous. She gets results. We would not hesitate to send any of our friends or family her way and would be surprised if anyone could find someone better to work with. Drs. Jonathon and Tara Douglas

- Home BuyerI have had the opportunity to use Dana many times over the years. She has the very rare combination of sales experience, communication skills, and work ethic that I look for in a Realtor. I could easily choose Dana for any of these attributes but when using a Realtor while I am 2000 miles away I need one who has all of these skills. Dana has proven many times that she is the right choice.

- PMB LendingI have been blessed to work with Dana 2 times in buying and selling and both times she has exceeded our expectations. She is prompt, upbeat, caring, and compassionate. The thing we LOVED about Dana that was different than other people we had dealt with was she actually listened to what we wanted inside/outside and price wise and never tried to show us anything that didn’t fit into the “box” of what we wanted. I couldn’t recommend anyone more highly as she will go above and beyond for you as a client. We would never use anyone else.

- Home BuyerI have been in real estate full time for over 10 years and it is very rare to meet an agent whom you would trust with your own clients. When I met Dana, her incredibly hard work ethic, tenacity, and genuine care for her clients immediately made me feel at ease and excited to send my out of state clients to her. My clients who have worked with her have been so very happy with her service and I always know they will get taken great care of! Dana will continue to get my out of state referrals!

- Berkshire HathawayDana was a friend and an ally in our long, difficult experience selling our townhome in 2008. It took us over eight months to sell, which included two rescinded offers and helping us through the unfamiliar territory of selling on contract. She showed us a ridiculous amount of homes until we finally found a buyer for the townhome and could make an offer one our dream home, which we are still living in and loving. She hung with us through having to rescind two offers due to our buyers rescinding their offers. She talked me down from the ledge more than once. She is knowledgeable, experienced, wise, steady and long-suffering. I’ve recommended her many times
