About

As a second-generation real estate agent in the Bay Area and career sales in excess of $200 million, Dana knows what it takes to be successful in today’s market. In 2009 she was recognized by the Grubb Company as the #3 Agent company-wide. In 2007 and 2008 she was the Top Producer in the Piedmont/Oakland office. Consistently recognized by her clients as providing superior service, Dana was voted “Favorite East Bay Realtor” in J. Magazine’s 2007, 2008 and 2009 Readers’ Choice Awards.

It is no accident that Dana’s sales volume is among the highest in the company year after year.   In large part, it comes down to her philosophy: high touch with high tech. Dana finds that selling high value/unique assets is largely a people business because every transaction is unique.   She believes that her clients deserve to be treated with her personal attention on every matter that is important to them. 

Yet, from a marketing perspective, the ways of reaching potential buyers and sellers of properties has evolved at an unprecedented pace.  With over 90% of home buyers now starting their process on the web, Dana believes that to truly be successful in this market, an internet based marketing strategy must be central to a property’s presentation.  She retains a full time internet marketing manager who ensures that her properties receive maximum exposure and that she embraces the latest tools available for the benefit of her clients.  It’s hard to argue with her results; her listings consistently sell almost twice as fast as the local market.

Beyond her philosophy, Dana is both passionate and savvy about residential real estate and truly cares about her client’s success. Her outstanding follow-through, meticulous attention to detail, excellent negotiating and communication skills enable her to successfully represent her clients in today’s increasingly competitive residential real estate marketplace.

For sellers, Dana expertly guides her clients through the process, from selecting the ideal time for their property to go on the market to helping decide which improvements or maintenance items are necessary, and in determining a strategic price to maximize their sale. Dana then manages the whole process with her team of painters, handymen, gardeners and stagers to ensure that her clients present an attractive opportunity to prospective buyers. Her comprehensive marketing plan encompasses multiple types of media including the all important internet, print media and her personal networking within the real estate community.

For buyers, Dana succeeds because she has an in-depth knowledge of the local neighborhoods and school districts that one only gets from living in the various neighborhoods for almost 30 years. She is the type of agent who listens intently to her clients’ goals. She is experienced at writing offers that win the deal. Once escrow opens, Dana follows the process closely, taking care of all the details so that her clients can focus on other important issues such as financing their purchase, moving, and preparing to enjoy their new home.

Dana truly becomes your partner in every residential transaction.
