Profile

As a second-generation real estate agent specializing in Oakland, Berkeley and Piedmont real estate and career sales in excess of $325 million, Dana knows what it takes to be successful in today’s market. From 2007 to 2012 she was the #1 or #2 Producer in the Piedmont/Oakland office. Consistently recognized by her clients as providing superior service, Dana has been voted “Favorite East Bay Realtor” in J. Magazine’s Readers’ Choice Awards every year from 2007 through 2011 and 2013. 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.
