Dana Willson-Coldwell Banker Real Estate

I do not know where to start! Dana has been our agent for over 7 years. If we could give Dana a 6 out of 5 we would!
She helped us buy our first place. We were lost and did not know anything about the process. She took hours and hours of her time to help us get up to speed and prepare us for the process. Our first offer went in strong and was accepted. The 30 day close was a nightmare and she lead the charge keeping the loan officer on track to make our close as smooth at possible.
When we hit a big family change we had to move in a short amount of time. She helped us sell our property and we encountered a huge problem, our sellers walked away when they were supposed to close. We had never heard of this before but Dana did not let that stop us. She presented us with all the options and we decided to re list our property. We sold for more with less drama sellers. We were so happy and received exactly what we wanted (and a little more).
Recently, we were in the market to purchase again and we were unsure what area would be best for us. Dana sat with us, took in our needs and helped us pick some potential areas. Once our future home was found she helped us put in an offer that was accepted with only a few hours turn around (in a very aggressive seller’s market).
All these years (and when we are not interested in buying or selling) Dana checks in with us. She invites us to appreciation events and is like a part of our family. She has not just been our agent but our therapist, mom stand in, babysitter (for real! while we met contractors at the properties!!!), friend and an integral part of our lives.

What stands out the most about Dana is that she is there through thick and thin and gets the job done. She has high standards and delivers her clients the best results. She has plan A, Plan B and Plan C… And at the end of the day her success is measured on how happy her clients are! We recommend Dana to the highest regard!

How many agents do you know can get you a home in the valley under the asking price? Dana is one of them.
She helped us all through the way and even followed up after the purchase was complete. She has a lot of experience in this field and is very knowledgeable.
She was very patient with me and my wife and was not pushy.
I highly recommend her to any first time home buyers.
Thanks Dana for all your help.

Top notch agent! She was exceptional in every way. I have used here twice, once to buy and once to sell. On both transactions she was attentive to detail, thorough, and devoted singular attention to me as a client. She is highly knowlegeable of the Bay area real estate market, an expert in marketing a home and tireless. I highly recommend her!

I was a first time home buyer a few yrs ago. Very stressful and scary to say the least. Working with Dana was fantastic. She has the ability to listen and understand what your dream home /​wish-​list is, but more importantly she is not in the least bit pushy or impatient in the process. Dana takes the time to really understand your needs, and your non-​negotiables/​obstacles offers suggestions and solutions based on her expertise and skill-​set, all the while putting you at ease.
One thing that I felt invaluable, was that Dana understands how stressful and/​or life changing an experience of purchasing a home can be. She is professional, efficient and trustworthy. Dana is extremely knowledgeable and honest — having somebody like that on your side is a huge bonus. I wld wholeheartedly recommend Dana and her services to anybody who is even remotely interested in purchasing a home. Thank you Dana! :)

I am a first time home-​buyer and completed my home purchase two months ago.
I really got disheartened after my first offer was not accepted. In this competitive market of multiple bids, it is very tough to be the winner. Dana put it all in perspective for me, redoubled her efforts, and repackaged me for the next house offer and lucklly, we were the winners!
Getting an acceptance was only the beginning! Our Seller requested a 30 day close, which was extremely tough — but Dana managed the process to make it happen! She stayed on top of the seller’s agent, my lender, the title company, the inspectors (and me!) and caused the whole transaction to come off seamlessly. She reminded everyone of the tight timeline and made sure we stayed on schedule.
As a new buyer, I was extraordinarily stressed out and lacked an awareness of the process. Dana was patient and explained everything. She provided consistent (often daily) status updates so that I always knew where we were in the process.
Moreover, Dana is strategic and very adept at protecting her client’s interests. At several points during my home purchase, there were decisions to be made – (offer/​contingencies/​repairs/​warranties) Dana was able to objectively lay out the plusses and minuses of each side, and even shared her own view when asked. But– most importantly– she never tried to push or influence me one way or the other. She respected my choices and advocated effectively on my behalf.
I don’t plan to leave the beautiful home that Dana worked hard to help me get – but if things should change, she is absolutely the only agent I will call to sell this house and help me find the next one.
Thank you Dana!

If I had to buy or sell the house again, I cannot imagine doing it with anyone else but Dana.
Most realtors would classify me and my husband as buyers from hell. We looked for a house for 4 years and Dana was incredibly patient, helpful, and professional dealing with us. We always felt that Dana was on our side and that she trully wanted us to get a house that we’d be happy with for the years to come.
When we finally found the house, Dana guided us through the entire closing process making sure that all documentation is in place and that there are no hick-​ups along the way. It was a very smooth transaction.
Again, if we were to buy the house again and if there was no Dana, we’d really miss her.

Dana was fantastic in helping us find our first home. Her expertise and advice helped us secure the perfect home in a very competitive market.

We met Dana while she was holding an open house in Mountain View. We had been looking on our own and had not chosen anyone to work with. She took the time to answer all of our questions completely and offered explanations about the home buying process that we could completely understand. She was warm and genuine. We decided Dana was the right person to help us find our home. Once we began our search, it probably took 6 months or so until we found the perfect house. Dana was extremely patient during the search. She was always very informative and did not hesitate to point out something in a house that might not either be right for us or might be a trouble spot down the road. We never felt like her only goal was to make a sale. She really made sure we got the house that was right for us. I have referred 4 people to her and each was as happy with her, as we were. I would certainly recommend Dana again and again.

I had Dana help in the purchase of my home, and I have since referred her to two friends who were very happy with her. Dana really worked to make sure I found the house I was looking for at a price I was happy with. She is professional, thorough, and a pleasure to work with.
