What Clients are Saying

“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!”

“Professional and helpful! Dana and her team were fantastic to work with!!!”

“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.”

“We are proud owners of a Bainbridge home and moved here from Los Angeles. We connected with Dana online and first met in person when we did a mad tour of the island on a “looksie” trip. Right from that first connection Dana seemed to get us and hone in on what we were looking for. This gave us a huge amount of confidence trusting Dana when properties came up when we were back in LA. And one did! It was listed on a Thursday. Dana organized an inspection and we made an offer on the following Monday. Dana’s insights into our purchase strategy and offer number were insightful and ultimately our offer was accepted. Dana’s help doesn’t just stop at the transaction. She introduced us to people in Bainbridge. She put us in touch with painters and other tradespeople. She is an invaluable resource for Bainbridge newbies!! We can’t speak more highly of her and what she brings to buyers.”

“Dana was excellent in the purchasing of our home on Bainbridge. Always helpful with good advice. She is tenacious in providing good service to the client.”

“I think Google needs to make a sixth star option for situations like this. We have purchased houses before, but Dana and her team went above and beyond. They made the house hunting and purchasing process (from out of state no less) as simple and comfortable as humanly possible. When we needed more information about new listings, she was quick to respond allowing us to act swiftly. Her insights as a Bainbridge local were quite helpful for understanding the different areas of the island and the uniqueness of island life. When our offer was accepted, her team was fast and thorough with the title/escrow process. And when paperwork issues arose near closing, Dana effectively coordinated the involved parties to promptly resolve the issue. Even after closing, Dana offered to help us coordinate appliance deliveries and contractor visits so the house would be ready for our arrival. Dana is thoughtful, caring, helpful, genuine, and easy to work with. We definitely plan to partner with her for any future real estate transactions.”

"The service provided by Dana Fitzpatrick far surpassed any realtor we have ever worked with and was exactly what we needed when we relocated to Bainbridge Island from out of state. We were only in town for one day and needed to see as many houses as possible before flying back to Chicago. Dana quickly understood what we were looking for and arranged showings that met our needs and budget. Her carefully designed itinerary provided us with a good variety of locations across the island and insight into what each area had to offer. We found our new home on that first day and Dana expertly guided us in submitting a successful offer. Over the next few weeks, Dana provided invaluable support every step of the way. Dana’s organizational skills and professionalism were top notch and her prompt communication even across multiple time zones was impressive. She is personable, kind, authentic, and trustworthy. Many realtors disappear after the sale is done, but not Dana. Even after the closing, Dana continued to reach out ensuring that we had all of the information we needed to successfully relocate from the Chicago area to Bainbridge Island. Passionate about her job and helping clients, Dana has gone over and above providing valuable resources and referrals to help us get off to a great start. Without question, Dana and her team delivered a straightforward and seamless home-buying experience that exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended!"

“Dana Fitzpatrick is one of the most professional realtors. I have had the pleasure of working with. She is reliable, and listens to what your needs are as a client she takes pride and doing her job.”

“I can't recommend Dana and her team highly enough. She listened to me well and developed a keen intuitive sense of the kind of house I was looking for. She and her team were not only responsive to my queries, they were proactive in anticipating what would come up and took the initiative in guiding me through the whole process. I strongly felt that Dana was an advocate, looking out for my best interest. And she did it with humor and grace.”

“Dana delivers. She's a clear, thorough, and prompt communicator; knows her business; and tenaciously follows a project every step of the way. I felt entirely supported by her as I sold a property. She's a trustworthy, passionate guide for whom real estate is her full-time business. If I needed to, I would choose her as a realtor again and again.“

“Dana was absolutely amazing. We had a bunch of pre-sale prep work to do and Dana helped coordinate everything since we were out of state. She really shined when it came to staging, photos/videos, marketing, and closing. We received multiple offers, all over asking price, and closed super fast (earlier than expected). Honestly, you can’t do better than having Dana as your realtor!”

“Dana is someone who was truly born to do what she does! She works tirelessly for and with you— my husband and I felt so lucky to have Dana on our team while house hunting. We cannot say enough good things about her work and trusted her completely as we navigated making this huge life decision, especially as new comers to the area. She is the best!”

“This is an overdue recommendation that, while tardy, is no less sincere. Dana Fitzpatrick (and her Compass team) were just amazing to work with on the sale of our vacant lot on Bainbridge Island. She stood by us through a tough down-market, and worked with patience and compassion. We found her to be highly professional and knowledgeable, and she provided superb customer service. Dana understood the challenges associated with selling an executive piece of land on the island, and shared excellent advice on how to navigate the process. We appreciated the data she provided on a regular basis, and her encouragement and calm demeanor were invaluable to us. We would certainly work with her again, and we highly recommend her.”
