Testimonials

Wingdale

Dana has been amazing with selling our home. Dana is very dedicated and committed to her clients. She kept us in the loop and always returned our phone call right away. We had 3 prior real estate agents which kept the selling process going for 3 years. Dana was recommended to us from a friend and in a few months after listing our home Dana had it sold. We definitely made the right decision having Dana as our agent.

From the moment my wife and I met Dana I knew she would be the person to help us sell our home! I instantly had a sense of confidence with her knowledge of marketing and her experience in real estate. She has a wonderful personality and a positive attitude that is a winner! Selling your home can be very stressful but Dana was always able to ease our worries and help us relax! Dana did an open house for us the first weekend and we ended up with an accepted offer!  I would highly recommend Dana! She is a 10!

Working with Dana on the sale of our family home was a pleasure.  She was very understanding, patient, and helpful during the initial contact and preparations for placing the house on the market, especially  knowing it was an emotional process.  She listened and then provided insightful and practical advice for preparation and pricing.  Dana was knowledgeable in the local market and the entire process from prep, pricing, negotiations , to closing.  She went out of her way to help, even with the little things and was always very prompt in her communications. With Dana's support and attentiveness, the process from "on the market" to closing was less than three months. I highly recommend Dana for anyone planning to buy or sell their home.

Dana helped us through our house search process starting in Feb. 2019, which eventually culminated in closing last fall (Oct 2019). She was extremely friendly, helpful, and professional throughout. After we closed, we went through a period of several months of house cleaning and preparation for renters, as we were not planning to move in for a few years. Dana then switched roles and became our 'rental agent,' recommending vendors (painters, exterminators, etc) and coordinating their access to the house in our absence. When the house was finally ready for renters at end-2019, she arranged for a photo session, worked with us to create a listing, and posted it online (beginning Jan 1, 2020). She then showed the house and property to prospective renters until we connected with our current renters in February. Dana made our lives easier throughout this process by efficiently taking care of all of the details and maintaining a friendly and professional manner at all times. We highly recommend Dana to help with your house search and/or rental.

Pleasant Valley

"My wife and I worked with Dana to purchase a plot of land earlier this year. Dana met us on day one and waded through the thick woods with us without a care. She was helpful in understanding what the certifications already assigned to the land meant and what other certifications we might need to build - and when she didn't know she was always helpful in doing some research to point us in the right direction. Dana also helped us to find an attorney and to navigate us through the entire closing process, our first in NY State and different from the process in other states. If and when we make our next purchase, we will definitely be calling Dana and will be excited to recommend her to our friends and family."

Poughkeepsie

Dana was a great help from the beginning to the end of the process of selling our house. We felt at ease from the start because it was clear she knew a lot about the process and about the local housing market. She was always very responsive when we had questions or some part of the inspection and  closing process needed to be pushed along. We'd be glad to use her again.

Amenia

Very knowledgeable, was extremely patient and never rushed. Felt very comfortable with her recommendations and always available for any questions and or concerns. I would recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home.

Salt Point

It has been a pleasure to work with Dana first in selling our home and in our search for a new home.  We never sold a home before and Dana had our home sold without any problems in a very short time.  She is always professional and comfortable to talk to. I would recommend Dana to anyone looking to buy or sell a home and I have.

Stanfordville

We contacted Dana last year when we wanted to sell our home of 36 years. Didn’t know anything about the real estate, how much our house worth, or how to market  it. Dana  had all the information that we needed for making the decision on pricing our home and what about the house would catch people’s attention. Dana had the house sold for us in a few months, never dreamed that would happen so quickly. We closed last fall. This spring we contacted Dana again, this time it was to buy a home. We decided to stay in the area, and knew Dana could help us. We asked her to show us a total of about twenty houses over the next couple of months, sometimes on very short notice. Dana always managed to make it work. We are getting ready to sign contract next week, after a difficult back and forth with the seller. If not for Dana we would probably still be looking. Thanks for all your hard work and your many hours of working with us Dana . We've really been blessed having Dana as our agent.
