Welcome - I'm Dana Cohen, a real estate agent specializing in residential properties in Piedmont, Oakland and Berkeley.

LOCAL knowledge is a strategic asset.


Consistent Real Estate Sales Leader Combines “High Tech with High Touch”

Real Estate transactions have changed from the Realtor-driven processes of the past, where home buyers would meet with their agents to discuss the available inventory and then tour the homes together. Today, over 90% of buyers use the Internet to search for a home, often well in advance of contacting a professional.

As a Top Producer and one of the dominant market makers in Piedmont real estate, it is essential that I stay current with virtual marketing trends, including social media, and make them the foundation of my strategy for your home purchase or sale. Yet, residential real estate continues to be primarily a people business. Buying and selling a home can be a stressful process, and my clients should and do expect that I am accessible at every step along the way, whether in person, phone, email or text.

What the Technological Changes Mean:
• The Internet has overtaken two main services of Realtors®: property selection and the home tour
• The activity your home generates is largely a function of how easy it is to find on the Internet
• How your property looks on a computer screen or mobile device is pivotal in generating interest
• Having strategically-defined and descriptive property information is key to success

How I meet the Internet Challenge:
• I personally oversee every aspect of preparing a property for a professional photo shoot
• I retain a full-time internet marketing manager who ensures your property receives maximum exposure
• I utilize the latest technology tools available to benefit my buyers and sellers, including a wide range of social media platforms
• I use my personal knowledge of the local area to highlight all the special qualities your home offers

It’s hard to argue with results; the real estate I represent for sale consistently sells almost twice as fast as the local market. As an Oakland, Berkeley and Piedmont top real estate agent, I take pride in my expert knowledge of the local market and would be pleased to be your partner in your residential property transaction.

Whether you’re considering the services of a top Oakland, Berkeley or Piedmont real estate agent, want to get a sense of what your home is worth or experience firsthand the wonderful lifestyle our community has to offer, please feel free to give me a call: 510-813-0321. I’d be happy to answer your questions and assist you in any way I can.

Real Estate Shock and Awe

I represented buyers with an offer of 30% over the asking price on a Piedmont home last month. As you might imagine, I was a bit stunned when I was informed that my clients would only be offered the back-up position. This situation should not have been that surprising given that only a few days earlier, on the opposite side of the table, I represented clients in the sale of their Oakland home... [Read more...]
