Testimonials
This was our second time working with Dana. She helped us buy our Bainbridge Island home in 2020, so when it came time to sell, there was no question who we'd call. We had already moved to Kansas, and she made a long-distance sale feel manageable. Dana and Christina Kemp were our hands on the ground, coordinating floors and paint, the pre-listing inspection, cleaning, staging and photography. When the offer came in, Dana sent a clear summary that flagged exactly which terms were worth talking through. The closing period had its share of back and forth, and her experience showed. She kept things calm, gave us steady advice, and helped everyone get to the finish line. They were responsive and organized from start to finish, and I'd recommend Dana to anyone buying or selling on Bainbridge.
Dana is the best! We learned pretty quickly how difficult it is to buy a house in a competitive market from out of state, but Dana was our wonderful “boots on the ground” - checking in with us weekly, quickly getting over to properties and sending visuals, and freeing up her schedule for our last minute fly ups. When we finally landed on something she locked in quickly and aggressively and we came out on top. Couldn’t recommend her more!
“We were lucky enough to work with Dana when it came time to sell the place we've called home for the past 24 years. She and her team did a phenomenal job on every step of the process from preparation and staging through multiple showings, and negotiations around what ultimately became the offer we accepted. Dana's communication was top notch. She helped us understand market dynamics, buyer behavior and the impact changing interest rates were having on home buying in general. Since we were selling an older home, finding the right buyer was imperative and through it all, Dana made sure we were comfortable, informed and knew our options. She kept her focus on us and what we wanted. We couldn't be happier with the result and highly recommend Dana and her team!”
“We can’t say enough great things about Dana, or recommend her any higher! We’ve been looking to move to Bainbridge for over a year. We started our search with another agent and hit a point where we realized we needed someone who was a better fit for us, and Dana was the answer.
Admittedly we’re very picky (and can be difficult), but Dana handled everything we needed with ease, professionalism and a smile. She was patient with us over a long season as we waited for the right property to come along. We’re still amazed at how well she communicated, often at all hours, even while she was helping plenty of other clients at the same time. When we finally found our home, Dana was instrumental in getting us through a fast and furious bidding war and coming out on top.
We’re relocating from out of state, and whether we needed her to make a quick visit and grab video of a new listing or clear her schedule to drive around with us for a day on a last-minute trip, she always found a way to make it work.
Dana was full of helpful advice and strategy the whole way through, from the big picture down to the small details. She’s attuned to everything that gets thrown at you during one of the biggest decisions and purchases of your life, and her deep experience is invaluable when things get stressful.
She’s also the ultimate connector. Even after the purchase she’s kept helping, introducing us to people in the community and connecting us with local vendors. Best of all, Dana is just a good human who genuinely cares. She goes above and beyond what she’d need to do to earn anyone’s business, and it never feels like an act, it’s simply who she is.
If you’re buying or selling on Bainbridge or in the surrounding area, make Dana your first call.”
“We recently bought a home with Dana’s help and the experience was extremely smooth, professional, and efficient. From the very beginning, she kept the process moving, communicated openly and regularly with us, and offered her guidance or perspective when needed. In this way, she was a real advocate and force multiplier in an otherwise complex or stressful situation. She went out of her way to ensure no detail - big or small - was missed. She also helped with our transition into the new home, by going out of her way to make keys for us and checking in while we were out of town prior to closing. All told, we loved working with Dana because it’s clear she really cares for her clients and enjoys helping others. We highly recommend working with her!”
“Working with Dana was fantastic. She is knowledgeable, hard working and has many contacts who were also great to work with while getting our house ready to sell especially Adrian and Samuel.”
“Dana walked a long journey with us as we moved our mom from her home of 36 years to assisted living. There were many bumps on the road, but she navigated us through them all, giving us peace in the process. We highly recommend Dana because she is trustworthy to get the job done with care and grace.”
“Just recently my wife and I both sold and bought a home. With Dana’s expertise in marketing she developed a plan for getting our home SOLD. From beautiful interior and exterior photographs to go on the website and brochures to giving advice on interior and exterior “extra” touches she was outstanding! Our home sold in a matter of months-quite possibly because of her strong negotiation skill. When purchasing our new home she did an outstanding job of pointing out the plus and minus features of each home we were considering - in when we made our choice she understood market conditions and helped us present an offer that was accepted after some back and forth negotiation. We are extremely happy with our new home. She deserves a 5 star rating (maybe even 6) for her personality, professionalism, and experience - she is one of the best for a reason - buying or selling a home she would be the first person you should call.”
“Dana is absolutely amazing! It took us almost an entire year to sell our house for a cross country move to Bainbridge - and Dana was amazing the entire step of the way. She did tours, remote tours - and she quickly locked on what we wanted for our family and price range.
Easily the best purchase experience I’ve ever had".”
“Right away Dana understood the storybook appeal of our cottage, and committed herself to finding a buyer who would love it as much as we did. She arrived at our first meeting having already done impressive research, bringing both a plan and a keen sense of our property’s place in the greater market. After keeping close watch on off-season developments, she set a bold price range for when we were ready to go. And the very day we declared ourselves ready, an offer came in just where Dana anticipated it would, leading to a quick and nearly frictionless close. Our confidence in her never wavered, and all parties to the transaction benefitted from her blend of warmth, good judgment, and undeniable business savvy. We couldn’t be happier with how things transpired, and we’re confident the buyer is equally pleased. A win for everyone.”
“Quite simply, Dana is a GREAT real estate agent that knows her profession very well. She’s smart, she’s strategic, she’s a great communicator and has earned my utmost respect both as a human being and as a professional.
She knows Bainbridge Island and if you are thinking of buying/selling on the island, Dana should be your top choice!”
“Dana Fitzpatrick restored my faith in what it means to be truly served by another human being. If there is a national conversation about the finest 10 real estate professionals in America, her name belongs in it.
Across many real estate transactions over the years including rental properties, nothing prepared me for my first meeting with Dana. She asked questions I had never been asked before, sharp, consequential questions that revealed a brilliant mind focused entirely on my outcome rather than a sale. The professionalism was unmistakable. So was the humanity.
I came to her at the hardest point of my life, carrying a personal weight that had nothing to do with real estate. Most professionals would have acknowledged it and moved on. Dana never moved on from it. She held that awareness through every conversation, every decision, every moment where it mattered. She did not just manage a sale. She honored the circumstances of a human life.
What followed was flawless. Every complexity was anticipated. Every deadline met. Every problem resolved before it reached me. The process that most people dread became, in Dana's hands, something I can only describe as effortless. Not because it was easy, but because she and her team made sure I never felt the weight of it.
And that is the thing about her team. They are not support staff. They are a direct extension of Dana herself, carrying the same standard, the same attentiveness, the same instinct to put the person before the transaction. She has built something rare: a culture where exceptional is not the exception, it is simply how they operate every single day.
Multi-year recognition as a top agent is not a marketing badge for Dana. It is simply the market confirming what her clients already know.
The best professionals in any field are defined not by what they do when everything goes smoothly, but by who they are when it does not. On that measure and more, I have NOT encountered anyone better than Dana Fitzpatrick; I doubt you will either.
If you are about to make one of the most significant decisions of your life, you deserve someone in your corner who treats it that way and delivers on every level.”
“We have lived on the island for some time when we decided to purchase a new home and list our old home. We had known Dana and some other realtors in town for quite awhile. I am exceptionally glad that we chose to work with Fitzpatrick & Co. In a very short time frame and with a lot of moving pieces we were able to purchase our dream home and sell our old home exactly as we had envisioned. The attention to detail her team brings to buying and selling a home ensures a really smooth process where you minimize risks and put yourself in the best position possible. This was the fourth home we had sold so we were experienced. Dana's team went above and beyond any other prior realtor experience. I am so thankful that we worked with Fitzpatrick & Co.”
“Dana is a gem. She combines a deep knowledge of the market with a strong sense of how to navigate the ups and downs of selling one’s beloved home. We had to make several adjustments to our original hopes and expectations on timing and pricing. Dana was supportive while being realistic. She is also very attentive to detail including how to use tech optimally. Her dedication to her clients is impressive especially considering her admirable devotion to her family. We recommend her highly.”
“Dana was perfect. Analytical, creative, and always enthusiastic. She helped us sell quickly and cleanly above asking price in a difficult market. Loved working with her.”
“We chose Dana as our realtor after interviewing several others. We are glad we did. Our Bainbridge house was far harder to sell than we anticipated due to rising mortgage rates and uncertain economic forecasts. While less expensive homes were selling, our larger house was not. But Dana never gave up. She was a rock throughout the nine months of so that it took to sell our house. We were privileged to have a professional such as Dana on our side. We would highly recommend her to others.”
“Selling your home is a major life decision. It is important to place the transaction in the hands of someone who understands the current market situation, appreciates your worries, understands your needs, develops a sound attractive marketing plan, and follows up buyer interest in a timely and engaging manner with a reasonable response. Dana Fitzpatrick is just such an agent and she is the consummate professional – competent, caring, committed. We were most fortunate to secure her expertise.”
“Dana was referred to us by a highly rated out-of-state realty group we’d previously worked with. That recommendation already speaks volumes to Dana’s well earned professional reputation. Throughout the process of searching for a house we found Dana to be knowledgeable, insightful & totally professional. Additionally she was highly organized, focused & delightful to work with!
It also became clear, from other realtors we met, that Dana is held in the highest regard by her peers. If you need a reliable & dedicated realtor to help you maneuver through the often complex process of buying or selling a property, we have no hesitation whatsoever recommending Dana!”
“Dana was a massive help in our home sale and new home purchase. She held our hand through the entire process, starting months before we put our home on the market. Her knowledge of the market and her personal approach were so much appreciated. She positively impacted our home sale/purchase process in so many ways I couldn’t possible list them all. I will be calling on her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for BI market expertise.”
“We just sold our house with Dana as our agent. She did a wonderful job helping us every step of the way through the sale process which went very smoothly. We trusted Data with all her recommendations, and we are glad that we did. Dana is very knowledgeable about the current market and market trend, demonstrated amazing expertise in assessing and pricing our house, gave us wise advice regarding what to include in preparation of the sales, took on a number of tasks to get the house ready to show, and did a beautiful job presenting the house. She always communicated clearly, was always on top of things, and resolved any unexpected issues quickly. Her work style is highly efficient, and in the same time very accommodating. We are grateful for everything that Data has done for us, and feel very fortunate to have found her.”
“If you are looking to find your dream house - contact Dana Fitzpatrick. She is beyond detailed and thorough. She will understand what you are looking for, proactively research the listings and give you advice on things you didn't know to ask about. She could also teach a masterclass on writing offers. This woman is a closer. She is also amazing with toddlers (we brought our 2 year old to over 20 viewings with her). We couldn't be happier with our experience. Thank you so much!”
“Dana is incredible. We are relocating from another state and the process seemed challenging but Dana made it very simple and comfortable. Dana knows the Market and the area. Her confidence and expertise is a powerful asset for buying or selling a home. I highly recommend Dana because she lets you know, you’re a team and she delivers. We are thrilled with our house buying experience.”
“My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Dana for our recent home purchase in Poulsbo. We had been looking for a home all over Washington with various agents remotely from Texas and visiting many times. When we came upon the home in Poulsbo, Dana took quick actions to guide me in making a decision to come out and see it. She was right! Once I saw the home, we did a FaceTime with my husband and started the negotiations with the Seller. Dana was very helpful with all of this and made sure to look out for us and our best interests. The whole process went very smoothly and Dana is 100% on top of all the responsibilities and making sure we were comfortable along the way. Thanks Dana, we love our new home!!”
“Dana is very knowledgeable about the Bainbridge Island community and home market. We very much enjoyed her friendly, helpful guidance in purchasing our home long distance. We spent days with her looking at places. From this she completely understood what we were looking for. She found exactly what we wanted and worked closely with us and the seller to to a deal comfortable for both sides.
She knows how to suss out your needs and stays focused on them. We thought it would take a couple of years to find the perfect place. She did it in a matter of a few months!
Thanks for a painless fruitful search and making the nuances of a complex closing friendly and simple.
We recommend her highly!”
“Dana and her team were absolutely wonderful in helping my family through the process of selling our mom’s house. My sister and I both live out of state, we can’t imagine having gone through this process without Dana and Anne and all of their help in getting the house ready to sell as well as listing and selling. They were there for us every step of the way. I can’t thank Dana and her team enough and highly recommend them!”
“We can't recommend Dana enough. Dana guided us through the sale process, advising us on the best time to sell and each of the steps that we would need to go through to get the best prices possible. She clearly set expectations of what would happen when, what our options were and the tradeoffs of various decisions we could make in the sale. Dana took care of everything, arranging and recommending contractors, advising us on what we should fix and what we should get contractor quotes for. She produced exceptional quality marketing materials which made our house look amazing and kept us fully in the loop about the marketing process. Our house sold within days on the market and we had an amazingly quick and simple close, despite being out of the country and in another timezone altogether. Fantastic experience all round.”
“Patience of a saint, killer information, winning smile!
Dana is not my agent but she went above and beyond! My agent was not available to show us a home. Dana stayed late to meet with us and share her vast knowledge of the Bainbridge area! We loved our time with her (and would absolutely recommend working with her)!”
“Experience, local market knowledge, connections and positive energy are the characteristics of a good realtor. Dana has it all.”
“Very happy with the work Dana and her team did. Very professional and thorough in listing my home, which paid off in a very quick sale. Would definitely recommend using Dana and I look forward to using her again.”
