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 so easy to talk to. Extremely professional and equally as personable. I always felt less stressed after any conversation we ever had. It feels like you’re working with a friend, not a salesperson. She’s truly passionate about helping people a…

She’s so easy to talk to. Extremely professional and equally as personable. I always felt less stressed after any conversation we ever had. It feels like you’re working with a friend, not a salesperson. She’s truly passionate about helping people achieve their real estate goals. 2. Response time & availability. Have a question on a Sunday morning? Want to look at a house within hours notice? Text or call Dana and she’ll get right back to you. Seriously… it was usually just a matter of minutes. I don’t think the phone ever rang more than two times before she picked up. As other clients have expressed - you truly feel like a VIP when working with Dana and her team. 3. She has your best interest in mind. What more can you ask for when making the biggest purchase of your life? Dana grasps your exact wants/needs/budget and makes well-informed recommendations to help narrow down your search, all while exposing you to options that you didn’t even know you had. I genuinely trusted Dana with my house hunting and knew that she was working tirelessly to secure the best deal. Especially during the offer stage. From the first open house we walked through to the moment she handed me my keys, Dana was there for me every step of the way. Whether you’re buying or selling, she’ll do the same for you. Now get off the internet, get yourself out of that overpriced 1br/1ba apartment, and give Dana a call! What are you waiting for?!
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' needs. She is persistent in the best way, detail oriented, and doesn't let anything slip through the cracks.
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 area, and her tenacious but understated business acumen were the final factors that got this home for us. Of note, we were negotiating with a very prominent business CEO and his team, but Dana knew just where to push and just where to give a …

Dana's knowledge of the unique situation surrounding our beautiful new home, her incredible patience, her unrivaled knowledge about this specific area, and her tenacious but understated business acumen were the final factors that got this home for us. Of note, we were negotiating with a very prominent business CEO and his team, but Dana knew just where to push and just where to give a little to make this deal happen. She also took care of virtually everything for us. I cannot overstate how important this last point is for two very busy professionals with busy kids. I should also note that Dana is selling the home we moved out of and we got offer over asking within 6 days of listing! If you are looking for the absolute best high-end realty experience in the Menlo Park and Atherton area, Dana is definitely the person you should work with. And where else on earth but here would your realtor have an Ivy league education and the business experience to match?
Dana Carmel impressed us with her knowledge of the market, her thorough process, and her personable style. We achieved our goals with her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.
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 both my goals and what buyers in Palo Alto truly look for. It made the entire experience feel thoughtful, organized, and genuinely rewarding.
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!!
It was such a pleasure working with Dana Carmel! She made selling my home in Menlo Park stress-free. Her expertise in the local market and attention to detail really set her apart. Highly recommend!
Dana Carmel is a fantastic realtor. Dana helped me sell my home during a stressful time in my life. She was professional, knowledgeable, and answered any questions I had. Dana and her team made the entire process stress-free. I am grateful to have had such a positive experience.
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 through the process too. Local family members were involved in a lot of the day-to-day oversight of the remodeling. However, they relied on Dana's diligent crew to get the house to market on schedule.

Our family was very appreciative and we are happy to recommend Dana.
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 paperwork and milestones, including working with the bank and helping set up all the inspections, contractors, etc. We had so many hiccups with the sellers along the way that Dana pushed through and resolved. She was really the only easy part…

She was really the only easy part of the process for us! When it came to selling our home, she got us an above-asking offer before we even went on the market, saving us a lot of time and money to prep our home. She comes with an exceptional team of photographers, inspectors- you name it! And for the cherry on top, Dana was just a pleasure to work with. She was extremely professional and got things done quickly and above our expectations. Doesn't hurt that she was super nice and personable too! Dana- big thank you for all the work you did for us.
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.
