Dana Carmel

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/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?

Very few realtors understand the niche Menlo Park/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.
