Menlo Park & Atherton Real Estate

I can’t even begin to describe how incredible Dana is. There is simply no way I would’ve been able to purchase my house in Mountain View without her as my Realtor. Bay Area real estate is extremely competitive and challenging to navigate (especially as a first time homebuyer!), but Dana lead me through it all. She knows the market, has access to special listings, and has a variety of connections that can give you a much needed edge in your housing search. I could write an encyclopedia’s length review about how Dana will be the only Realtor I’ll ever work with, but here are just A FEW of the many reasons why I’d recommend working with Dana: 1. She’s...

Dana was incredible to work with! She is very knowledgeable, has extensive experience and great communication skills. She was always quick to respond to texts and emails and kept us informed while we were overseas. She worked around our schedule that was pretty tight because we were relocating. We couldn't have been happier! She sold our condo the day of the brokerage tour for more than asking price. We can't thank you enough for providing this valuable service. Thank you Dana!

I worked with Dana as we were evaluating homes. She was very insightful, responsive, and brought great ideas to our process. We didn't end up buying a home but would definitely use Dana next time we're in market. Highly recommend her!!

Very few realtors understand the niche Menlo Park and Atherton market the way Dana understands the market. She knows what buyers in this area are looking for, what you can get at different price points, and the personalities of the different neighborhoods and school districts. Dana was also super helpful with getting our home ready for market. We were on a tight time frame, and she hustled to get all the right vendors lined up to ensure the house looked great and was ready for buyers. As a seller, it was a huge relief to have Dana available to trouble shoot and solve any problems. No one will work harder than Dana to fulfill buyers' and sellers' nee...

We have been looking (unsuccessfully) for our perfect home for about 6 years. We already own a home in Menlo Park that we love, but with everyone home all the time due to the pandemic, we were looking for a bit more space. However, we are very picky and we needed to stay in the same school district, and the house had to be special enough to warrant the move. After a few unsuccessful bids for new homes over the years with other agents, Dana spotted a special opportunity and immediately let us know about it. Dana's knowledge of the unique situation surrounding our beautiful new home, her incredible patience, her unrivaled knowledge about this specific...

Using Dana Carmel as our agent to find a home in the Menlo Park area was a no-brainer. She is the most professional, responsive and knowledgeable agent that I have ever encountered. I refer anyone who asks to Dana and look forward to using her on my next search.

Amazing! Fantastic! Wonderful! Are just a few of the adjectives I would use to describe my experience of working with Dana Carmel. My wife and I were treated as though we were Dana's only client. Every text message, voicemail or email was returned within hours.

Dana Carmel is an outstanding broker. Responsive and knowledgeable. If she doesn’t have an immediate answer to a question she researches the answer and responded quickly. Really a joy to work with. Highly recommend working with her.

Dana Carmel helped us find a great rental near our remodel. She was extremely responsive and knowledgeable, and helped us secure a great contract within a week! We had many difficult requirements, in a tight market, and still she worked her magic. Dana made what could have been a very stressful time a smooth and relatively easy process. I would highly recommend Dana if you would like personal, professional and responsive service from a real estate agent.

Jessica's negotiating skills are truly remarkable. She was able to expertly navigate the complex negotiations with the seller and their representatives, securing for us the best possible deal. Her attention to detail and dedication to ensuring that every aspect of the transaction was handled smoothly and efficiently is a testament to her commitment to her clients.

Dana helped me sell my home in East Palo Alto. She was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and always available to answer my questions. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch real estate agent in Silicon Valley!

I worked with Dana during a time when I knew my home had potential but needed the right vision to truly stand out. From there, the focus quickly shifted to creating a clear plan that balanced design ideas with real market expectations. Instead of guessing, each step was mapped out with purpose, which helped me feel confident about the direction we were taking. As things moved forward, I appreciated how involved and attentive the process felt. Small details were noticed, timelines stayed realistic, and decisions were always explained in a way that made sense. Watching the space gradually transform was exciting, and the final result felt aligned with...

Dana was an absolute joy to work with. We felt like we were in good hands with her by our side -- She helped us through every step in the process, from formulating a strategy, closing our transaction, and even helping with the transition into our new home. We can't recommend her highly enough!!

Dana helped my sister and me sell our parents' home in Foster City. The house needed renovation and Dana did an excellent job coordinating this significant effort for us. She was knowledgeable, professional, and managed both the renovation and sale process with speed and efficiency. Her knowledge of the market was excellent; she was a pleasure to work with; she made selling the home stress-free. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch real estate agent in Silicon Valley!

We were super impressed by Dana's responsiveness and professionalism, as well as the support and information provided by her wider team. We remodelled the kitchen before putting our house on the market. Dana's office manager put us in touch with a hard-working crew who always helped us find solutions in our price range. They kept the project moving on time and within budget. When a key contractor had scheduling issues, Dana quickly found a replacement. When unexpected work on the house was needed, Dana knew immediately who could get the job done. Dana was very responsive to questions from a family member living overseas and kept them updated thro...

I am not one for writing reviews but I hope this is a small way of showing our gratitude towards Dana. We tried to buy our new home over a year ago with a different realtor and were heartbroken when we didn't get it. When the house went back on the market, we called Dana to help us get it this time around, and sell our existing home. She was able to navigate the very slippery and unprofessional agent on the seller's side with grace and so much patience. She was the only agent of 3 that we tried that was able to successfully negotiate with the sellers and get us this home. She is really the only reason we got this home. She was on top of every bit of...

I chose Dana as our realtor after interviewing six different agents to sell our home. Her qualifications and experience with marketing were impressive, but what really set her apart was her excellent communication. Simply put, it was very easy talking with her - she listened, and she gave me just the right amount of perspective. As we moved through all the steps of listing, selling, and closing, her frequency of communication was perfect for me. She gave me solid analysis, and when I asked for it, clear advice. My wife and I were very happy with the process - and the outcome - of selling our home with Dana.

Dana is an absolute Legend! She helped my husband and I sell our home in Menlo Park for way over asking price during a rough market. Her honesty and impeccable knowledge kept us calm through the whole process. We were also highly impressed by her highly experienced team. The marketing brought our home to a whole new life beyond our dreams and the staging was so gorgeous it made us want to buy our home from ourselves. I will always recommend Dana to all of our friends and I will definitely sell/buy my next home with her.
