TESTIMONIALS

My wife and I are beyond grateful for the exceptional service Dana provided. Her expertise,

strategic approach, confident/calm demeanor, and unwavering commitment resulted in us

selling our old home well above the list price, totally exceeding our expectations. Moreover,

she skillfully guided us through the process of finding and purchasing our dream home!

Notably, all of this occurred during the late fall and winter season – a time often perceived

as difficult to move real estate. Her professionalism, market insight, and dedication are

unmatched. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a top-tier real estate

experience. Thank you, Dana, for making our journey so remarkable!

Dana was a pleasure to work with. We chose to work with her based on her extensive experience with real estate in the DMV area, and she did not disappoint! Using tools, such as her "virtual staging magic," she was able to convey the potential of our property. She listened to our needs, then went to work with her experienced team to achieve our goals. We had an offer within a week of posting, at a price that was acceptable to us. Thank you, Dana!

Michelle and Dana were an amazing team! We are first time buyers. With the market the way its been, we were trepidatious that we'd find something that meet our needs & wants while in our budget. But Michelle set us up with regular updates on houses and her own thoughts on how we should proceed. Long story short, because of her advice we ultimately ended up making only one offer and got a wonderful house that met ALL of our criteria! We also got to work with Dana towards the end, whose expertise gave us some tips on how to move forward in our new lives as homeowners. Highly recommend their services for knowledge, connections, and great client service!

Amazing realtor who worked day and night to find my perfect property and get us to closing with a VERY difficult seller. She truly has a bulldog attitude about getting you every single thing you deserve. I cannot say enough good things and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Right from our first conversation, the FOCUS from Dana was always on MY NEEDS keeping in clear view not only my budget, but more importantly the home I previously lived in so she could relate to what I was looking for when doing this inter-state move. As an example, when I requested her to write an offer for a condo (without seeing it in person), Dana was quick to point that since I lived on a wooded single-family house, had a big yard, neighbors spaced out, that condos were probably not for me and she was spot on. Dana and her team were very patient through out the various house showings we went into and to my questions, which speaks a ton about the professionalism and the approach she takes to serve the clients. Responsiveness and over communication is one thing I believe should exist in all relationships, and Dana was right up there. Besides, the team she has built to provide the clients end-to-end service right from selecting the property to meeting the mortgage needs to closing, works like a charm. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dana for your real estate needs, you won't be disappointed.

Dana and her team are amazing. We highly recommend Dana if you are in the market to buy or sell a house. She was efficient, patient, and provided excellent advice. We were purchasing our house from overseas and Dana and her team were with us every step of the way using latest technology tools to provide us with a virtual house hunting experience that provided us with confidence about what we were buying. Dana's expertise and experience helped us navigate a challenging market. She provided sound advice and she went the extra mile to ensure the transaction and after-purchase requirements were completed. We can't thank Dana enough for her help and we would seek to work with her again.

I found Dana off of a Google search and I got real lucky because usually hat doesn’t work out. Dana and Michelle were helpful in talking us through our first home buying process and helping us narrow down our search. The whole process (home searching and buying) was very low stress. Would definitely recommend.
