What Clients are Saying
Terri
“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.”
Nikki
“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.”
Lyle S
“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.”
Ann Marie
“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.”
Alex G
“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!”
Lance
“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.”
Naicong
“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.”
Danielle
“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!”
Kim N
“Professional and helpful! Dana and her team were fantastic to work with!!!”
Melissa
“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.”
Janet T
“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!!”
Kathleen E
“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!”
Stacie
“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!”
Lucy
“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.”
Jen
“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)!”
Rich and Marilyn
“Experience, local market knowledge, connections and positive energy are the characteristics of a good realtor. Dana has it all.”
John
“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.”
Richard
“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.”
Stephen
“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.”
Ross
“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.”
Patricia
"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!"
Laddia
“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.”
Eric
“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.”
JoAnn
“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.“
Steve
“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!”
Isabelle
“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!”
John
“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.”
Beau
“Buying a home on Bainbridge Island was a big step for our family. We were unfamiliar with the market, we wanted to know more about the area, we weren't sure how to approach things while we were on the east coast. By virtue of a referral from a friend, we reached out to Dana. She spent an extraordinary amount of time with us on the phone on our first call, and from that call was the moment we knew. Dana broke down pricing, strategy, neighborhoods, listened to our feedback, and helped filter our search. We gained so much confidence in our follow up phone calls that we chose to pursue a house sight unseen. Dana helped film the house and the surrounding neighborhood. She provided candid feedback and helped coordinate with a friend to get a second opinion. We bought with total confidence, in the area and at a price that worked... all with Dana's help. This was by far and away the best home-buying experience we've had, and exceeded all expectations. Dana takes personal pride in the home buying experience and making it the best possible experience. If you want somebody who is responsive, cares, advocates for you, and helps you win... Dana and the team at Compass are the ones for you. Beyond just the house, she also extends her network and island experience to you. She is invested in the community, and gives a portion of her commission back to her local community. It just doesn't get much better... you need look no further than Dana. “
Dawn
“There is a reason Dana has been voted the Best Realtor on Bainbridge. In a word, she’s brilliant. When you work with Dana, you understand instantly you are in professional, capable hands. Buying a home is tough in the best of circumstances; in a competitive market it can be downright brutal. That’s why having someone like Dana in your corner is essential: she’s informed, data-driven, rational, calming, practical, and incredibly intelligent (also fun! and kind! and seemingly never sleeps!) Even if you’ve purchased numerous homes and are an “old hand” at buying or selling, Dana will manage to teach you something new or add value in an unexpected way. If she had a fan club, I would definitely be running for President. #hireher”
Ann
“Whip-smart and detail-oriented with a heart of gold. I would jump at the chance to work with Dana again — don’t hesitate!, get her on speed dial.”
J M
“Hands down the best agent! We recently purchased a home with Dana and can't say enough amazing things about her! Dana is incredibly knowledgeable, data driven and creative. She is an expert negotiator and her understanding of the Bainbridge Island market is second to none. Dana seeks to truly understand her buyers and genuinely seeks to find her clients the best fit for them, no matter how long the journey takes. There is no one else here on the Island that we would recommend! 10/10!”
David
“After a seven-year search, the "right house" had just been listed on the MLS. Unfortunately for me, the offer review was only 5 days away, I couldn't reach my agent (who had apparently retired), was no longer pre-qualified for a loan, and planned to leave on a lengthy trip in just 35 days.
I called Dana Fitzpatrick after reading customer reviews and I'm so happy I did. With Dana's encouragement and her "we can do this" attitude we met the offer deadline, won a bidding battle, secured a loan, and completed the buyer's side of the escrow process over the December holidays in only 30 days! The sale closed one week later while I was in another country.
Dana was a complete professional throughout--filled with encouragement and excellent advice when asked, but never pushy. She and her team did an excellent job and I recommend her highly.”
Silvia
“Dana's knowledge, responsiveness, resourcefulness, kindness, and sense of humor made the process of finding a new home a breeze. Her expertise and insights proved invaluable to us throughout the entire home-buying process.”
Gaylyn
“Dana is phenomenal- she steered us right *every* step and helped us close on an amazing home after a yearlong search. She’s a smarty and very analytical with compassion for the stress.”
Cheryl H.
“Dana is a real estate agent of the highest caliber. Her meticulousness, extensive knowledge, and unwavering availability made our home-buying experience an absolute pleasure.”
Chelsea
“Dana was an absolute joy to work with! We had many last minute changes in taste and priorities and she was flexible, responsive and worked hard to get us into the homes we wanted to see and ultimately helped us close quickly and with a great deal.
We feel so lucky to have found her!”
Barbara
“Dana’s marketing brought out the best elements of our house. She arranged for stunning photographs and grasped the unique attributes of this one of a kind home. She helped us navigate through complex financial aspects. Dana has good instincts and gave us sound advice. We were pleased with our decision to hire her to supervise the sale of our home of 30 years.”
Matthew
“Dana has been a total joy to work with. selling and moving can be stressful to say the least, but her and her team were always there to assist and smooth things out. We are simply grateful we have had the pleasure of working with her.”
Harrison
“Here is the scenario, I am the lending side of the coin for our transaction and the buyer (our mutual client) had a really unique scenario and needed to move FAST. Throughout the transaction Dana had kept not only me and my team in the loop, but the title company, the listing agent, and kept making sure she treated EVERYONE as if they were the customer. If you are looking for customer service, dedication and even a few jokes thrown in for a phenomenal experience I hope you go no further than a phone call with Dana. If you have not settled on an agent I implore you to hear her out. It is tough to find good customer service, and when it is offered all around I believe it separates the good from the great.”
Tanya
“We feel so lucky to have had Dana represent us with the sale of our home here on Bainbridge Island. We listed our home during a slower market, and Dana remained confident and poised when challenges arose, and continuously created novel and fresh marketing campaigns. Dana's amazing intuition was apparent as she quietly supported our family in many ways, some of which we didn't even know we needed. Her business acumen, creative thinking, grace and incredible work ethic were essential to closing a deal that allowed our family to move forward with our exciting next phase. Dana Fitzpatrick is not only a great realtor, but also an amazing person that we are blessed to have in our lives.”
Kathleen
“We had a wonderful experience working with Dana. She was kind, straight forward, and incredibly knowledgeable about a very tough market for buyers. Dana did everything to make buying our home as seamless as possible. She is incredibly responsive and generous with her time, and as a bonus our kids loved house hunting with her. Home buying can be stressful, but Dana made it a remarkably smooth and pain-free process.”
Luke
“We reached out to Dana after a property we had on the market with another realtor failed to sell. Dana showed us sales approaches more in line with today's clients. Social media pages and drone videos give clients a better picture of the property without having to actually visit the site. With Dana, the property was sold in a short time and at a very acceptable price. Definitely a 5 out of 5.”
Lynsey
“Where do I even begin? Dana was everything we needed and more. The home search process was done remotely which required trust and lots of back and forth. Dana managed all of this with ease while being proactive and thorough. The eventual offer and contract and closing process were smooth and we always felt we were in the best hands. Dana is a professional with all the warmth and generosity of a friend. Couldn’t ask for more and would recommend it to friends, family, and anyone who is looking for knowledge, savvy, and soul.”
Candace
“Dana is an absolute star. She handled every detail and went well out of her way to make my property as desirable as possible. It was seamless. As a single older woman, having her expertise and support was invaluable. I can’t recommend her enough. She is Wonder Woman - super amazing in every way.”
Gladys
“Dana deserves 10 stars! I was looking for an affordable water view home in the hot Seattle real estate market. I interviewed another agent and hired Dana for her local knowledge and strategy on a contingent offer where multiple offers were expected. For the offer, she went above and beyond to include additional analysis and paperwork to represent me as the ideal buyer. She was a pleasure to work with and answered every question. I will definitely keep in touch going forward for any future needs. I closed in 4 weeks. It's my dream home.”
Aileen and Alex
“The area we were looking to buy a home is an extremely competitive market with very limited inventory. On the front end, Dana provided a seasoned local perspective and genuinely valuable insights on specific property features. On the back end, Dana's strategic advice combined with her exceptional real estate knowledge and clever application of that knowledge definitely gave us a strong competitive edge when it came to structuring a compelling offer and negotiating the contract. We really enjoyed working with Dana and could not recommend her more highly.”
Clair
“I cannot say enough about how wonderful Dana was to work with. She was incredibly patient, responsive, gave us zero pressure, knowledgeable, fun, understood us and what we were looking for so well, available, happy to show both us and my parents homes (sometimes multiple times!), and frequently went above and beyond what I was expecting. I thought that we would have to give up some of what we wanted in order to find a home on Bainbridge within our price range, but in the end we were able to buy a home that was everything we were looking for and more! We are so grateful for her help in this process. Thank you Dana!”
Sherry
“Dana is clearly on top of an extremely competitive challenging real estate market. From the first encounter and throughout Dana is taking care of her clients. We are moving from the east coast to Bainbridge. Couldn't trust Dana more that she will help us negotiate a very complex market. On top of that she was available at the last moment to do a walk through on a rental for us. So looking forward to working with Dana and totally trust we have the best realtor on our side!”
Lynn and Elliot
“Dana is a real find for us. First, she represented us in the purchase of our new house. Second, after that experience, we engaged her as the listing broker for our old house. She handled both in her friendly, business-like manner. When she says that she'll do it, whatever "it" is, you can count on it being done. Finally, her opinion in matters of real estate proved to be spot on. Couldn't be happier.”
Jill T.
“We engaged Dana Fitzpatrick to help us find a home while we were under a ton of stress with a remodel gone bad this summer. Dana quickly got to know us and the dynamic of our family and she applied this information to accurately help identify potential properties for us. She was available around the clock for questions and between her and her partner Anne, we were able to see houses on short notice easily. As busy professionals with a lot going on, we really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to work around our schedule. I recommend Dana without hesitation!”
Kenny
“Dana Fitzpatrick made our buying experience so easy. Her knowledge and professionalism are unparalleled. Dana’s priority in taking care of us is something we will remember forever. Anyone who wants excellent communications, subject matter expertise and wish to work with a genuine person that cares about their clientele should look no further than Ms. Fitzpatrick! Thank you for everything!”
Alex N.
“We first met Dana in 2021 while Living down in San Diego. The market was crazy at that time and when we saw a house we loved, she was our first call. Dana took the time to FaceTime us and walk us through the property. She explained the process in great detail. We put so much trust in her, sight unseen. Although we lost that house (to a cash offer very much over asking) we stuck with Dana. She listened to us explain what we were looking for - the house we were holding out for, and after a year of searching, she found it for us - before it hit the market nonetheless. I feel she really stuck in there with us on our search and ended up finding us exactly what we were looking for and more. Plus 5 fruit trees I never even knew I needed to add to my list! :)”
Erin and Chris
“Where to even begin! Dana is hands down the best. The caliber of service and expertise she provided when we needed to sell our home was truly a blessing. There is a long list of to-do's when getting your house ready to go to market and Dana was with us every step of the way, going way above and beyond to get it all done. She is a true partner and works with such ease and grace. We are forever thankful and know we couldn't have done it without you.”
Corinne
“I highly recommend Dana Fitzpatrick. She is a professional, knowledgeable and highly skilled Realtor. She helped my mom and I with a home purchase. Dana has excellent knowledge and familiarity with the market in Poulsbo, Suquamish and Bainbridge Island (the areas we were looking in). I have been in the lending industry for over 30 years. I found Dana to be a great advocate, skilled negotiator, great communicator and very responsive. I would strongly recommend Dana Fitzpatrick for purchasing or selling a home anywhere in the Pacific Northwest, Puget Sound, Bainbridge Island, or Seattle area.”
Jennifer
“We can't say enough good things here - Dana is amazing! The whole process in selling our house was smooth and speedy. Her knowledge of what needed to be done, what we should do to make it successful, etc. was spot on. Highly recommend working with Dana - you won't regret it!”
Stacey and Amy
“My family and I are very grateful to Dana and that she did to help us buy our new home on Bainbridge Island. I had to fly up from Texas and see a handful of homes in a short time span. We then looked at other homes remotely (Having Dana walk through the house on Facetime). Ultimately, we were able to negotiate a house - all remote - and get the deal done. We would highly recommend.”
Frank
Incredibly grateful for my home buying experience with Dana. As first time homeowners she helped guide us through the whole process and fought for us at every step.
Sheldon
“Dana is the consummate professional. Incredibly savvy, helpful, patient and there when you need her most. Moving from the east coast to Bainbridge Island was an incredibly large endeavor. Especially so in this competitive and limited inventory real estate market. Dana assisted my wife and I every step of the way and without any pressure. Her knowledge of the island is beyond anything we could have expected. I would have no hesitancy recommending her to both potential buyers and sellers. She is no doubt the best there is.”
Jason
“Dana has been one of the kindest, most generous agents we've ever worked with. Her intimate knowledge of Bainbridge Island's real estate scene is only matched by her friendly demeanor. If you're looking for someone to help find you a new home on the island, Dana's the only person you need.”
Emily and Garza
“Dana has worked her MASTERY for us - she is an amazing real estate chess player. Using data analytics, she looks at pricing from different points of view, then works her magic to help form a strategy where everyone wins. If you don’t work with her, hope she’s not on the other side of the table!”
Angela
“Having bought and sold a dozen homes, we have worked with a lot of realtors over the years and we are "picky". Our previous “top" realtor in California was amazing and he helped us buy and sell several properties with complex negotiations. We were skeptical about finding someone on Bainbridge Island who would match our expectations. We had seen that Dana recently was voted #1 Realtor in Bainbridge and having found a property we liked, we reached out to Dana. Dana is an exceptional negotiator and advisor of the best tactics. We got the house we wanted despite multiple other offers. The deal was closed in less than 2 weeks with minimal stress because she was always incredibly calm throughout the process. Dana knows the market so well that she applies this to her negotiations and it works!”
Jill O.
“There is a reason this woman was awarded Best Realtor on Bainbridge the last few years AND was recognized as Who's Who in Seattle Agent Magazine in 2022! Dana was referred to our family by numerous professional partners in the real estate world given her solid relationships, business acumen, advocacy + concierge and full service approach-attitude to the industry.
Our family had a unique situation when looking to both buy and sell a house. Dana was with us every step of the way with not only her own professional services but referrals and recommendations for quality and dependable vendors such as movers, contractors, landscapers, mortgage brokers, companies to de-clutter etc. Dana provided us with in-depth market knowledge, patience, prompt communication, willingness to listen + gather deep information to help with decision-making and guidance on things like market fluctuations. Her work ethic, honesty and professionalism were very much respected and appreciated by our family.
We now consider Dana a friend and would give our highest recommendation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! Thanks again to Dana Fitzpatrick and the Compass Real Estate Team.”
Marilyn
“Dana is a seasoned professional, well versed in all aspects of real estate sales, including all legal and financial requirements. Her support and guidance were particularly appreciated in representing me as an out-of-state seller.
She guided and supported me through a difficult time and in a volatile market in the sale of a family member’s home, and, after our initial in-person meeting, conducted all business with me as an out-of-state seller. She was instrumental in preparing the home for sale and reading the market accordingly to result in a much-desired quick sale at a fair and reasonable price. She guided me through all aspects of the sale, from the initial listing through the close of escrow. I met with her weekly via Zoom, and throughout this entire process via text, email and phone calls. She was always available to answer my questions and address any concerns I might have.
Not only did I have a very positive experience with Dana, but I have truly gained a friend as well! My only regret is that she is not down here in So Cal. We could certainly use a realtor with such integrity, knowledge, and compassion. I highly recommend her!”
Steve and Sue
“We were picky, but Dana patiently helped us find and buy a great house in Poulsbo. She always has our best interest at heart, and honestly coached us to find just the right place without compromise. She guided us successfully through our transaction involving multiple offers, magically it seemed! Her business savvy, market knowledge and real estate expertise are superb. We recommend Dana wholeheartedly!
Matt
“Dana may well have entered our lives in a wish upon a star, fairy godmother, magic genie situation. She's been impossibly amazing! We bought a house better than we had ever hoped for and from over 2,000 miles away. Dana guided us through every step of the process. She was patient, knowledgeable, and watched out for our interests. Now we have an amazing house and a wonderful new friend!”
Bill & Susan
“Anne Reichard helped us find our forever home on Bainbridge Island. Anne’s calm demeaner and positive attitude guided us during a stressful year of low inventory and bidding wars. Her hard work, dedication and smart negotiating got us the house.
Anne lives on Bainbridge Island and is very knowledgeable of the area and market which was a big factor for us. She responded to all our questions right away and she was always readily available to look at houses in a very hot market. We felt like we were her priority.
It was a pleasure working with Anne. She is honest, kind and fun to be with. Her passion and enthusiasm is contagious. We highly recommend her!”
Kara
“Dana was such an incredible resource for me as a first-time home buyer. From our first meeting, I trusted her, appreciated her responsiveness, organization, and her even-keeled attitude. And to add to her professionalism, she was just a joy to work with --something that is so important when you are working closely together for so many days. I appreciated Dana's insight into her market, and am I excited to work with her again in the future.”
Mark & Collene
“Dana was a phenomenal representative for the purchase of our home on Bainbridge Island--I would highly recommend her for any buyer. She stood out in a few exceptional ways:
Local knowledge: Dana was extremely knowledgeable about the area, and even spent an entire day showing us around the local parks, shopping areas, and other sights. She also has a strong local network, which was valuable for getting important insights in a seller's market.
Process and strategy: We bought in a tough buyer's market, and Dana was especially helpful in crafting an approach to putting together an offer that would enable our success, while ensuring we understood the process and implications of the negotiating points.
Lastly, Dana is just a great person. Easy to talk to, great sense of humor, and really cares about her clients. Top Notch!”
Carlos
“Dana was really great to work with. Throughout the entire process, I felt Dana was supporting and providing me essential information of market prices and trends of the houses we were looking at. In such uncertain times with covid, I felt reassured having Dana as our support and anchor through buying our first home. She also has a great personality and is a fun person.”
Andy
“We wish we could give Dana 10 stars! Dana is a true professional, yet manages to bring a personal touch to her work - local knowledge, gentle advice, honest feedback, and a great sense of humor - that working with her is easy. We felt well represented by someone we trust and enjoyed spending time with!”
Grant
“Dana is smart, professional and empathetic. She has a depth of business experience and higher level analytical and negotiation skills than many of the agents I've dealt with. She's responsive, proactive and gets the importance of the human touch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to discerning clients looking for great professional with a depth of local expertise.”
Cullen & Michael
“Dana was laser-focused and highly responsive with a shared end goal. Her honesty, wit, and sharp and informed advice helped us navigate the lengthy and often frustrating process of home buying and selling. Answers at a moment’s notice and asking the questions we hadn’t yet considered - Dana went above and beyond our expectations at every turn. Committed to her community and a resulting lasting friendship - I’d absolutely recommend Dana to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
Jonathan & David
“What more can you say about the PERFECT realtor and buying experience? From the start (and our search was over a year's time), Dana was there at every step. She followed up on every question, added valuable input and thoughts about the market, the home, the area, and advised us on how to get our home in the incredibly tight market. Most importantly, she is someone just nice to spend time with and treats you like a new neighbor and friend rather than a "client". Absolute BEST buying experience in all our years of buying a home....You can't go wrong...Seriously, you can't go wrong with her.”
Gabe & Megan
“Dana is the best. We feel very lucky to have gotten to work with her through the process of buying our new home and selling our previous one. She made moving a concierge experience with her knowledge of the market on the island, what it's like to be a parent here, and life overall. She was incredibly patient with us as we worked through our process for well over a year before putting in offers. We forged not just a business relationship, but a friendship along the way. When it came time to buy, Dana was such a pro in the negotiation. The market here is extremely competitive and Dana really made our offer shine, competing and winning over higher overall offers. Likewise, selling our previous home was a breeze with Dana running the show.”
Ravi
“Dana is one of the best agents we have had the opportunity to work with and she helped us buy our house on Mercer Island in a highly competitive market. Dana is patient, direct, diligent, and thorough with the recommendations on the best strategy to adapt. We highly recommend Dana for any Seattle area real estate needs.”
Eloise & Jeff
“Dana was immensely helpful, capable and efficient. She helped us close on a coveted property during the 2021 real estate madness. Long story short, our case required nothing short of a masterful tour de force on her part. We've been impressed by her negotiation skills, ability to strategize, process knowledge, resourcefulness... and she's also sharp as a whip. This is the real estate agent you want.”
Kelly & Bethany
“Dana was amazing! We contacted her super last minute when a house in our Seattle neighborhood popped up and within a few days we saw the house, made an offer, got a lender, and had an inspection! If you need a realtor who will get sh*t done, have your back, and is super friendly, go with Dana!”
Ethan
“Dana was a pleasure to work with. She is super knowledgeable and has a strong foundation in finance, not just real-estate. As a first time home buyer I appreciated her patience with us and her willingness to walk us through the process. I always felt she had our best interest at heart and she never put any pressure on us when it came to make decisions. I will definitely work with her again!”
Laura
“Dana is the best partner you could ask for in a realtor. She is extremely knowledgeable of the market and truly understanding of your needs. We couldn't have asked for a better experience buying our first home, and we have Dana to thank for it.”
Liz & Suha
“Dana worked tirelessly with us for nearly 9 months. We were not first time buyers and had very specific ideas about what we wanted. Dana was amazingly patient, enthusiastic, responsive and to echo other clients, very, very skillful at crafting competitive offers. In this challenging market for buyers, we truly credit Dana for making it happen for us!”
Noah & Sierra
“We worked with Dana to purchase a home on Bainbridge Island in a fairly competitive market. She helped us find options we were happy with, quickly understood our taste and needs and walked us through the offer process in a way that helped present a strong offer without bankrupting ourselves. We’d be happy to recommend her to anyone looking for a home on Bainbridge Island.”
Stephen
“First and foremost, I highly recommend working with Dana. She is dedicated to making the home buying process as simple and stress free as possible. She is extremely knowledgeable of the local area and the current market. From initial inquiry to close, she was always available to answer questions, make recommendations and find answers. We are so grateful for the opportunity to work with Dana on this extremely important purchase and look forward to future opportunities to work with her!”
Liisa
“Dana was amazing to work with on the sale of an estate that I have been overseeing from another state over the past two years. We were able to meet in person for a meet and greet and then all other processes were via phone, email, text - she went above and beyond making this process enjoyable and easy.”
Scott & Gracileia
“We just had a great experience buying our house in Bainbridge island and we worked with Dana. She was terrific! She was especially helpful as we new to the area. She was patient with us and very understanding of our needs, wants and dislikes. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone who appreciates a well informed, thoughtful, straightforward, agent who genuinely cares about getting you and your family into the best home for you.”
John & Andrea
“Dana assisted us in buying a high-end condominium in Winslow. Throughout the whole process, she was highly responsive, and at several junctures kept the transaction on track when it might have fallen apart. She is always there when you need her and I would engage her again.”
Caleb & Carla
“We bought a home from Dana after meeting her representing a home on Bainbridge Island and then relied her to help us sell our long term home on Mercer Island. Dana was very patient with us in the process, outlined each step we needed to take, she was persistent with updates, helped us with subcontractors and helped us present our home in the best light. I would recommend Dana highly if you are buying or selling your home.”
Alex
“Dana did a phenomenal job for us in every step of the home buying process. In our home search, she kept us aware of new listings and worked to find off-market opportunities. When making an offer, she set realistic expectations while making sure we were protected. We got a perfect home for our family and only had to make one offer as opposed to the 10+ I typically hear from friends and family. She genuinely cares about doing a great job and has a work ethic to match, and I'd recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home on Bainbridge.”
Liam
“Dana was a fantastic partner as we worked to buy our first home. Her knowledge of the local market and her connections within the agent community gave us a huge advantage when we went to make our offer. I would recommend Dana to anyone looking to buy on Bainbridge!”
Christian & Katrina
“First, in the process of finding the right house, Dana worked with us tirelessly for months. She offered candid advice on each house and tailored that advice to our likes/dislikes as we saw more and more houses. Whenever she gently steered us away from a house, she was right about it not being a fit (sometimes hard to tell that in the moment!).
Second, Dana was very helpful and thorough in getting our offers in, and guiding us to submit an offer we were comfortable with that was competitive. Each offer we put in, following Dana's guidance, was very competitive.
Third, Dana was very involved in closing the accepted offer. Dana made sure the close went through on time, including several calls, emails, and possibly mail by a homing pigeon to our lender to make sure we were on track.
Finally, Dana became a friend throughout the process. We look forward to staying in touch with her.”
Dan & Ashleigh
“Dana's a great advocate for anyone looking for a home. She's fun but steady. Very competent. Not high pressure at all, but very obviously an industrious individual who's on top of things. She was good at pointing out potential issues with some the homes we were looking at (even when we were initially smitten), and was honest when it wasn't in her best interests to be so. Dana has a family and knows enough of that dynamic to advocate well for buyers with kiddos in tow. She's clearly quite sharp, and she kept things low stress during invariably stress inducing times.”
Cheryl
“As an educator and writer, among the qualities I have cherished most in both professions are honesty, creativity, persistence, and the ability to discern how one can best serve their clients whether they are students, educators, or the general public. I saw these same qualities in working with real estate agent, Dana Fitzpatrick. From the start, it was obvious that Dana’s concern was finding me the exact property that I wanted and she did. I believe that Dana’s success, which has earned her the reputation of the best real estate agent on Bainbridge Island, emanates from her ability to listen to what her client wants and to find that one particular property that her client says is “perfect.”
Dana was honest with me from start to finish. When I asked for her opinion, she always responded with my best interests in mind - not hers.
Dana is persistent. She doesn’t give up even if what you ask for is difficult to find within the price range you established.
Dana is creative. She internalizes what you want in a property and then finds properties that have the things you asked for while, at the same time, showing you places with differences that distinguish one from another. You get real choices to fulfill your dream of the perfect home.
At the end of the home search, you have not only purchased a home that exceeds your expectations, but you have gained a true friend in Dana.”
Scott & Frances
“Dana represented us on our hunt to buy a house in or near Bainbridge, WA in the middle of the pandemic. She cleverly steered us away from houses listed for much more than they are likely worth and jumped on the perfect house when we finally found it. But beyond that, she's also helping us set up for occupying the house before we make the one way journey up there. In short, Dana is amazing!”
Martha & Mary Kay
“We could not have worked with a better agent than Dana. We got the house we wanted at the price we wanted largely due to her expertise and knowledge of the local market. She is a truly personable and professional person to work with, skilled at every step of the process and smoothing the way. Her attention to detail and her anticipation of issues that might arise as we went through closing made the process almost seamless. Her supportive stance and sense of humor made what can be a fraught process exciting and enjoyable.”
Christine
“Dana was FANTASTIC in making the long-distance purchase of our house happen. Her deep personal knowledge of the area, her connections with all the people we might need in getting settled (landscapers, building dept. etc), and her tenacity in following up with any questions and concerns was top-notch. From the first contact with us, she was consistently available and proactive, keeping us informed and superbly handling everything that came up. She was patient and unfazed by the convoluted financing process, jumping in to push the lender to complete their paperwork so we closed on time. And she showed up when the first truck did, helping us unload and get settled. I could not ask for, or even imagine a better experience or better agent! I unreservedly recommend Dana for any purchase or sale!”
Tom & Angel
“Dana is very friendly and personable. We felt comfortable around her which allowed us to be ourselves. In turn, Dana was able to get to know us on a personal level and found the perfect home for us. She listened to our wants and needs and helped us negotiate the right price. Dana is highly knowledgeable about the area she serves. Her communication is also stellar. She kept us consistently updated during the closing period and in the know about where the process was. We fully trusted her throughout our entire experience. Thanks to Dana we are happy homeowners and would highly recommend her. If we ever have to move again she will be our first choice in real estate agents.”
Daniel & Megan
“Dana was wonderful to work with and very understanding when we had issues on our end during closing. She was flexible and patient during the process and due to her background and advanced skill set, she was able to help us over some hurdles. She answered my million questions about family and kid life and followed up with resources to help us become acquainted. I would highly recommend Dana to anyone looking for a kind, educated, dedicated, and ethical agent.”
Harmony & Bryan
“Dana was wonderful to work with. She helped us find exactly what we were looking for and made the entire process so smooth. I can't recommend Dana enough!”
Chris
“We're so glad we found Dana and used her to find our new home on BI. She made everything easy as pie and was very much our advocate. She (and her family) went above and beyond in welcoming us and even helped us with the move-in, well beyond the call of duty for an agent.”
Ryan & Olivia
“Dana was completely on it. She went way out of her way to help get us the house we wanted. We were not the easiest people to work with because we had a few special circumstances, but Dana stuck with us and really worked hard for us. She was a delight to work with in general and as a person we really like her! 10/10 would work with again.”
Steve & Nena
“Dana ALWAYS answered the phone when we called her, and if she doesn't know the answer to a question, she investigates immediately and gets back to you within an hour. That in itself is an amazing quality in a real estate agent, or any professional, for that matter. She has never kept us waiting. Dana is also extremely friendly and warm. We recommend Dana with bells and whistles! Hire her!”
