What Our Customers Are Saying

★★★★★

We talked with Dana for 10 minutes and we both knew, no need to search further, Dana was our guy! Two home sales and two purchases later, he’s still our guy!

~ David & Susan M.

★★★★★

When it came time for us to pick our Realtor to sell our home, we both knew what we were looking for. We talked with several people that had worked a year or two in the business… and they were just trying to be our new best friend. We weren’t looking for someone to go wine tasting with and to be our new BFF… we wanted someone that knew the market like the back of their hand and would be a tough negotiator for us. That’s Dana!

~ Eric & Emily P.

★★★★★

I had some financial challenges. Another Realtor told me that I should come back in a year and they would “try” to help me then. Dana connected me with his “team”, guided me through the process and I’m sitting on the back patio of my new home as I write this. Thank you! I don’t think I’ll be contacting that other Realtor in a year!
