Dana Fitzpatrick

Dana is phenomenal. I deal with real estate often in my practice and have never worked with an agent as thorough and attentive as she is. The last listing I had with her involved several complex issues and her experience, professionalism, and steady hand ensured a successful closing. I can't wait to work with her again!

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, and resourcefulness... and she's also sharp as a whip. This is the real estate agent you want.

Me and my fianc were looking for a new house during the crazy housing market during the early part of this year (2021). Luckily, we had Dana to help guide us through it. She provided excellent service for the multi-month process of buying our home. First, in the process of finding the right house, Dana worked with us tirelessly for months. She spent nearly every single weekend with us looking at multiple houses each weekend. 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 at 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. We ended up putting several offers in, and Dana's guidance on how much to offer, whether or not to waive certain contingencies, and timing of the offers was always on point. 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 through out the process. We look forward to staying in touch with her.

Dana was a phenomenal representative for the purchase of our home on Bainbridge Island--I would highly recommend her to 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 into the 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, hile 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!

We can't say enough good things here - Dana is amazing! The whole process of 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!

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 about the local area and the current market. From initial inquiry to close, she was always available to answer questions, make recommendations and find answers. With Danas help we were able to see multiple homes in one day with extremely short notice and ultimately buy a home on Bainbridge. 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! Thank you so much Dana and we cant wait to see you around the island!

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 on matters of real estate proved to be spot on. Couldn't be happier.

My husband and I had the privilege of working with Dana on the buyers side of one transaction, followed by the sellers side of the second transaction, that alone says a lot about our trust and confidence in Dana. Dana is thoughtful, she listens and really learns a lot about her clients. She is market savvy, readily available, and very responsive. We had two interesting transactions, both with a couple of challenges that in Danas capable hands were resolved successfully, I will refer Dana to my friends and colleagues without reservation. And I made a new friend.

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!

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.

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. Couldnt ask for more and would recommend it to friends, family, and anyone who is looking for knowledge, savvy, and soul.

"We found Dana Fitzpatrick purely by accident. She answered the phone when we called Redfin to inquire about a house. As it happened, the house had already sold, but she was so helpful on the phone that we asked her to be our real estate agent while we searched for a house on Bainbridge Island. 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.Dana was very patient with regard to our idiosyncrasies. We are dealing with mold allergies and chemical sensitivities, and we never felt she was judging us, even when we sent dust samples from a house we liked to a laboratory in New Jersey to make sure the house was as mold free as we had hoped. To cap off our weirdness, we were also looking for a house that had a low electromagnetic field, so we brought our gadgets with us to test various houses. Again, Dana was nonjudgemental. Eventually, we found a house we liked a lot, and Dana was very savvy in the way she navigated us through the process of actually getting the home.We recommend Dana with bells and whistles! Hire her!"

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. We moved from another state and had no idea about the housing market in Kitsap County. She was so helpful and on top of everything. Her communication is also stellar. Anytime we reached out with questions she responded immediately. 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 as a real estate agent.

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 they are still trying to sell) and jumped on the perfect house when we finally found it. But beyond that, she has been up there multiple times since closing to help us repair the minor damages it has from some benign neglect and remaining unoccupied for 5 months. She's also helping us set up for occupying the house before we make the one-way journey up there before the 2nd wave of this thing hits us. In short, Dana is amazing!

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 her again.

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 moments notice and asking the questions we hadnt yet considered - Dana went above and beyond our expectations at every turn. Committed to her community and a resulting lasting friendship - Id absolutely recommend Dana to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Working with Dana has been an amazing experience. She's committed to the island. She's committed to family. She's committed to friends. She's dependable, responsive, and trustworthy at any part of the home-buying process.

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.

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!

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. When an issue did arise immediately after closing, she was tenacious in resolving it on our behalf. 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.

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!

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.

"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 Danas concern was finding me the exact property that I wanted and she did. I believe that Danas 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 doesnt 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 a 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"

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 cant recommend her enough. She is Wonder Woman - super amazing in every way

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.

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.

Dana worked tirelessly with us for nearly 9 months. We were not first time buyers and had very specific ideas about what we wanted (read: picky!). Dana was amazingly patient, enthusiastic, responsive and to echo other clients, very, very skillful at crafting competitive offers. Once we entered into contract on a home, she was very thorough about following up with the sellers to understand what inspection items they had addressed. In this challenging market for buyers, we truly credit Dana for making it happen for us!

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 to Bainbridge Island a concierge experience with her knowledge of the market on the island, what it's like to be a parent here, and life on Bainbridge 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.

Dana was really great to work with. Throughout the entire process, I felt Dana was supporting and providing me with essential information on 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, if you need garden tips on your new home she will gladly help with that!

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! 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. After our offer was accepted, she recommend quality vendors including GCs, electricians, lenders, etc. 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.

Dana is the best partner you could ask for in a relator. 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.

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 making decisions. I will definitely work with her again!

What more can you say about the PERFECT realtor and buying experience? From the start (and our search was over a year), Dana was there at every step. She followed up on every question, added valuable input and thoughts about the market, the home, and the area, and advised us on how to get our home in the incredibly tight Bainbridge, Gig Harbor, and Seattle markets. Most importantly, she is someone just nice to spend time with and treats you like a new neighbor and friend rather than a "client". You can tell that Dana loves her job and does the because she wants you to find the best home for you. She made us feel like we were her "only" client (which we knew was not the case), and she has been available for "after the sale" questions. Dana did "hold our hands" during the whole process. We are happy, happy homeowners thanks to Dana! The 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.

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! Thanks for all your efforts, Dana.

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. Wed be happy to recommend her to anyone looking for a home on Bainbridge Island.

We bought a home from Dana after meeting her representing a home on Bainbridge Island and then relied on 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, was persistent with updates, helped us with subcontractors, and helped us present our home in the best light. Some of the things she suggested we would have never thought of but with Dana and her expert eye, we were able to quickly receive multiple above ask offers on our home and quickly close our transaction. I would recommend Dana highly if you are buying or selling your home.

Dana was amazing! We contacted her super last minute when a house in our Seattle neighborhood popped up. We got _very_ lucky that Dana popped up on Zillow. 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!

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 assessed the property after taking us through a video tour, and suggested a price that allowed us to quickly negotiate a very acceptable final amount. 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, with her family, helping us unload and get settled (not gonna promise you that tho!) I could not ask for, or even imagine a better experience, or better agent! I unreservedly recommend Dana for any purchase or sale!

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 on the island. Her (And her family) went above and beyond in welcoming us to the island and even helped us with the move-in well beyond the call of duty for an agent.

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!

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 of 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. We appreciated this. 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.

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. Dana was very patient with regard to our idiosyncrasies. We recommend Dana with bells and whistles! Hire her!

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.

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, on the island, 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.

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.

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.
