Dana is a Rock Star! I was on the search for over a year and thought I would never find my house. Dana stuck with me through it all! He provided chill reassurance without any pressure and was a great asset to have on the team. Dana has credibility, knowledge and intuition, needed attributes in the crazy bay area market.
We wouldn't have this house we love without Dana. He carefully lead us through the process which as first-time homebuyers we did not understand. He also got us to a very good mortgage broker and home insurance, as well as, a special treat for our son once we moved in. His advice and consent were spot on, we got our house on the first bid!
If you are in the market to buy a home in Oakland, do yourself a HUGE favor and contact Dana. The housing market in Oakland is a bit daunting, and it takes some time to learn how to navigate it. As first time home buyers, we became aware of this learning curve very quickly. Then we met Dana. He is extremely knowledgeable in his area, and is an excellent realtor. There are so many qualities that we appreciate, and they are not limited to the following: He has a great knowledge of his market, and he puts the work into research. So when we put in offers on places, we knew exactly what these places were valued at. Dana would provide thorough reports to ensure that we went into each offer with the information we needed to make a viable offer. The bay area is a housing market frenzy! Everyone basically says that it is impossible to find a place. Dana, on the other hand, was a calming influence throughout the whole process. He NEVER pushed us into anything. He was well aware of what we wanted, and he never made us feel like it was out of reach. In fact, he did the opposite for us -- he kept us calm in this whole process so we could make informed and smart decisions. Dana is overall a great guy, which makes him a pleasure to work with. In this market you need to have a realtor that other realtors like to work with and everyone we've ever met says wonderful things about Dana. It makes a big difference! Dana went to bat for us when we put in an offer. He isn't afraid to have difficult conversations with other realtors/lenders to ensure that his clients get what they want. In summation, we are in our dream house, and that is because we worked with Dana. I would recommend him to anyone, any time! Thank you!
My wife and I were first time home buyers with lots of questions, high expectations and a bit of nervousness. Dana's knowledge, experience and calm demeanor kept us level headed. He anticipated many of our needs and was willing to work around our sometimes wacky schedule. We love Dana nearly as much as our new house!
Dana is an excellent realtor, very friendly and helped me find just the right house. I'd always recommend him.
Dana was the best realtor! I was a very nervous first time home buyer. He was very responsive to all of my questions, gave me excellent advice and helped me find exactly what I wanted. Thanks to Dana I closed on a condo a month after emailing him asking him to be my realtor. He's very knowledgeable, has great instincts, will work hard to get you the best deal and is a super nice guy! I can't recommend him enough!!!
