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…

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 …

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 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.

Ryan G.

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.

Marlon V.

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.
