★★★★★
"Dana is the hardest working agent we know. She is meticulous, transparent and thorough! Dana was an absolute pleasure to work with and made the transition-process as simple as possible. We are grateful to have found her!" - Mary Beth

★★★★★
"Dana was a PLEASURE to work with. This was our first house so naturally my husband and I had a ton of questions. Not only was Dana knowledgeable about the areas we were looking, she provided expert advice on the market. She made herself available when worked for us (we both work in NYC and lived there while doing this - so schedules were tough but she ALWAYS made it work). Further more, when we ended up buying our home, the seller had left garbage on the street. We were not happy. Dana went to the area, found the garbage men, brought them back to our house and ensured it was completely picked up. If that is not amazing service, I am not sure what is! We would 100% recommend Dana to all of our friends and family." - Sara

★★★★★
"Dana was our agent when we bought our first home. Being new home owners we had a ton of questions and Dana was extremely helpful and made the process very easy for us. We couldn't be happier in our new home! Thanks Dana" - Alex

★★★★★
"Dana did an outstanding job helping us sell our house. From her initial assessment of the property until the closing, she was with us the entire way to help us with everything. She cares more about her clients then any real estate agent we have ever worked with. Dana made many suggestions prior to listing the house that helped us get top dollar for our home, much more then we ever thought we would get, and we were under contract in less than a week after the first showing. We could not believe it. She also helped put us in touch with all of the right people throughout the process, including an excellent real estate lawyer and a great estate sale company. Dana's expertise made the entire process so easy for us. We would absolutely use her again and we highly recommend her." - Jen

★★★★★
"Exceptional realtor! Dana is very knowledgeable in so many of the neighborhoods, locations, school districts, and the housing market as a whole. Her finance background helped tremendously during the negotiations of our home and she also gave us excellent advice in regards to tax savings. We were very pleased and impressed! Highly recommend!" - Jeanine

About Dana
A highly skilled and versatile real estate professional, Dana's clients range from businesses and real estate holding groups looking to invest in commercial property to millennials to vacation home buyers. A Long Island native with strong footholds in communities like Montauk and the Hamptons, as well as several years spent in New York City working on Wall Street, Dana brings a strong working knowledge of the area’s real estate stretching from the easternmost tip of Long Island to Manhattan. Her specialties include commercial properties in niche markets such as boutique hotels and high-end bank-owned real estate and residential properties along the Gold Coast.

After graduating with honors from Boston College with communications and finance degrees, Dana started her career working with prestigious institutions. The executive skills and financial savvy she honed on Wall Street led her to eventually help build, establish, and sell businesses in the fashion and media industries. Throughout her career in real estate, she’s experienced many opportunities, delving into new construction and working with builders to consult on every phase of the development process Dana has the experience to offer only the best service, from early plans and layout to their completion and ultimately listing and selling the properties. Dana also began working in commercial real estate sales with tremendous success, recently being awarded the Top Hospitality Sale, Suffolk County for a property her team sold in East Hampton.

Rounding out her work in real estate are the ever-present and rewarding experiences of assisting her residential buyers and sellers. Dana’s deep understanding of finance, investment potential, and the real estate market in general, is invaluable to her buyers when finding the perfect home or investment property. Her knowledge of renovation and building costs has also been extremely helpful for her residential and commercial buyers when looking to make changes to existing properties for sale.

Dana attributes her success in assisting sellers to get the most out of their property investments to her vividly creative designer’s eye and the marketing abilities she honed over her many years in finance and business development.

Having been on both sides of the real estate process, Dana understands the delicate balance of being readily available to her clients and marketing their properties effectively. A skilled negotiator, her prior business experience has provided the discipline and professionalism that assure her clients that they are in the hands of a dedicated professional who can get the best price for their home, business, or commercial property.
