"Truly you are a gem of a human and I cannot thank you enough. I haven’t ever had anyone just take over and get things done the way you have for us! You are an amazing woman! I am so lucky and grateful to have met you. Not only do you make dreams come true, you blow roadblocks to dust like a superhero. I am forever in your debt. You know that the door is always open to you and your family too. Words cannot describe how much your friendship and guidance has meant to me. Thank you just isn’t enough." - LEA S. | BUYER & SELLER | GLENVIEW
"Thank you SO much for all your help. I really appreciate all the effort you put into making this process go smoothly. Your patience with answering my questions, taking my late night calls / texts, and holding my hand through this process is admirable. I am so grateful to have you as my broker and I feel like I got really lucky. Your “people” (lenders and attorneys) are awesome!" - APOORVA R. | BUYER | CHICAGO
"We are so thankful for everything you've done for us and our family. You helped us with selling and purchasing four properties over the course of seven years. You've always been available, always caring, always uplifting and always looking out for us and our own interests. Not once you pushed us into something we did not feel super excited about. Moreover, you always spoke your mind candidly about the properties that we were excited about without actually understanding possible the risks and obstacles down the road. You've consulted us on multiple remodeling ideas, connected us with amazing contractors and attorneys, and more importantly, always found time to talk, understand our situation and empower us with our own decision making. No project is too small for you as you truly care and wholeheartedly try to help. Thank you for your patience and encouragement!! Thank you for your expertise and never ending support! Thank you for your friendship and kindness! It was a blessing to have met you!!”" - MIKHAIL AND YULIA G. | BUYER AND SELLER | CHICAGO - MORTON GROVE –LINCOLNSHIRE

"Dear Dana, Just three months ago we had all but given up on our house hunt and here we are today, signing papers for a Chicago brick two-flat in Bowmanville that is in our price range. I think we’ve found ourselves a unicorn! Thank you for your support through this entire process. You made it smooth and stress-free!" - PACO G. AND ANGIE S. | BUYER | CHICAGO
"I had a fantastic experience with Dana when selling my late father's home in Glenview. Living out of the area, I really needed someone I could depend on to help clean, facilitate and identify contractors for improvements and stage the home prior to listing it and I couldn't have found anyone better. Dana worked tirelessly to coordinate the various contractors and stage the home. She found creative solutions to every problem we encountered. I appreciated that Dana was very accessible and responsive throughout the process. We used the Compass' Concierge Program to finance the improvements and staging of the home and that process was seamless and helpful as we did not need to come out of pocket for these expenses. We were so thankful for all of Dana's efforts which produced a quick sale and at a very attractive price. Aside from her work, Dana is such a wonderful person and pleasure to work with. I would recommend Dana without any hesitation." - CHAD W. | SELLER | GLENVIEW

Dana has a diverse background in real estate over her 17-year career in Chicago and is well versed in residential real estate. She has represented clients purchasing single family homes, condos, new construction spaces and multi-unit investment properties. Having represented clients of all backgrounds, she is skilled at assisting clients in each stage of their real estate endeavors - be it a starter home, “forever home”, or an investment property for a portfolio to anything in between.
Honing in on the specifics of what a client is looking for is her niche. With thousands of properties to choose from on the market, most clients are unsure of where to begin. During the initial consultation, Dana will go through an in-depth analysis of the expectations of the purchase or sale. These criteria are revisited throughout the property selection process as criteria may shift. She will oversee the transaction from start to finish, working with lenders and attorneys during the closing process all the way through to the closing table. Sourcing the property is only half of the task at hand and being able to navigate through inspections, contractors, and attorneys is just as important as the property selection.
Having lived in both Downtown Chicago and the North Shore, she is well adept to both real estate markets and has the knowledge to represent clients who transition to and from the city and the North Shore. Dana has also assisted clients relocating to other parts of the country.
Prior to her real estate career, Dana worked at the Chicago Board of Trade where she successfully managed the operations of a trading company in a fast paced, deadline driven environment.
