Dana Schaefer Testimonials

“Dana is AWESOME!! She helped us negotiate the turbulent waters of the Boston Real Estate Market. We found a single family home in West Roxbury that we loved. Unfortunately, many other couples loved it too, and a bidding process began. We consulted with Dana, and through her steady guidance our’s was the winning bid. She was invaluable in working with us from the beginning, and she never flagged or tired, or lost patience with us, even when we had to pull out of a deal where we had already made an offer. She was a friend and an advocate, and we are so grateful to her for her steady hand. Dana also helped me to find tenants for my loft condominium in JP. Without that, the deal for the single family home would’ve fallen through. Dana located tenants in less than 1 week, making sure we get to move into our dream home. We cannot thank her enough, and HIGHLY recommend her as both a buyer’s and seller’s agent. Believe me, you will not be disappointed with Dana!”

“We couldn’t have navigated the home buying process without Dana. She has an endless supply of energy, knowledge and patience that helped us find a home we love. We had complete trust in Dana and always believed she had our best interest at heart. I can’t recommend her enough!”

– JoLeighG on Zillow

“Dana assisted my wife and I in the buying of our new home. This was the home we had been talking about as a family for quite a while and when it came on the market there were 11 other bidders for the home. Dana managed to negotiate with the sellers and to keep us within our price range, albeit at the max. We were awarded the home and really feel like it wouldn’t have happened without Dana’s help. Additionally, she managed to rent out current apartment out in just three days at a very competitive monthly rate. Overall we really couldn’t be happier to ave had Dana’s help in the process. We would have been lost without her.”

“As a developer, I can honestly say Dana is one of the best agents in the greater Boston area (if not the best). She did a tremendous job for us and was able to sell our units in one of the worst economies ever. Easy to work with, precise, and willing to go the extra mile to guarantee units are sold. She was readily available and always called back immediately (one of my biggest pet peeves with previous agents). I would highly recommend Dana to anyone interested in condo sales, etc.. “

“I was a first-time homebuyer and began working with Dana after ending my partnership with another agent. I had been searching for a home for 7 months and had become a bit discouraged. Dana was recommended to me through good friends and she was more than I could have hoped for. She is very knowledgable in the area I was looking (South Boston), she provided me with all the information I could need without being pushy. Dana really makes you feel like she is working for your best interest and not for a comission.

Dana gets to know you and what you are looking for an helps to narrow down the vast list of homes on the market. She actually convinced me to view the home I ended up purchasing – I was against it because although it had everything I wanted it was right outside of my prefered location. However she really thought I should at least take a look. I really have to thank her because once I saw it I fell in love. And in reality it’s less than a 5 minute walk from where I wanted to be – it’s actually perfect for me!

The negotiation process was so smooth. Dana provided an entire report with 6 compariables and really broke down why she choose them and what that means for the home I was looking to purchase. The information was in depth but very easy for a non-real estate expert like me to understand. She walked me through the negotiation process and was always in contact with me every step of the way. She explained everything to me so I never felt like I was out of the loop.

I have moved in and am very happy with my new home. Dana also represented my neighbors when they purchased their home, and they had a similar experience to mine – nothing but good things to say. After working with another agent who didn’t do half of what Dana did for me, it was nice to work with someone that made a potentially stressful process a comfortable one.”

“I’ve used Dana as my realtor on several occasions and in different roles, representing me as a buyer’s agent, as a seller’s agent and as landlord’s agent for renting out my property. Dana was extremely effective every time, always delivering her very best to get me the most positive outcome. She’s in tune with the realestate market in the same way that she is with my personal preferences and desires. She is a diligent worker and extremely responsive. I’ll certainly keep on counting on Dana for all my future realestate needs.”

“Being new in the US and US house market we were very pleased to work with a very qualified and patient agent. We expended months looking for the ideal house that could fulfill all our needs (not easy!!!) and was in our budget. She did not fade down a bit and kept helping us find the home we wanted in the area we wanted. She helped us from the search to the loan until we finally got the keys on our hands.

Dana always was there helping and explaining every step and hesitation we had. I strong recommend her services, honesty and tirelessness. She is a very good agent that we were very lucky to find!!!”

– Gabriel C. Boston MA

“In these difficult times, selling a property requires the best agent you can find, and Dana Schaefer is that person. I’ve known her for over two years, and when it came time to put my loft in Chelsea on the market, I knew that there was no one else I would entrust to make the sale. Not only does she know the market inside and out, she was always responsive to my needs as well. In a shorter time than I would have believed, we had qualified buyers, and the contract closed with scarcely a hiccup. If you’re looking for a loft in the Boston area, or if you’re looking to sell, even in this wacky economy, Dana is the agent you’re looking for!”

– Marie W., Orleans MA

“Just wanted to write you a quick note thanking you. There isn’t a note writer alive who could put into words in this card the gratitude I have for the tremendous job you did at 950 Broadway. I truly believe that without your hard work, perseverance, and overall dedication to this project we would not be even remotely close to the 100% sold that we are today . . . You were the only constant positive in the project from day one to today. I say from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for a job VERY VERY WELL DONE! With the greatest admiration,”

– Thomas Haftner, Developer

“I would recommend Dana to anybody searching for a home. I recently closed on a house after 6 months of searching with Dana as my Real Estate agent. She is very knowledgeable, diligent, extremely nice and pleasure to work with. The closing process with the bank was pretty rough, her assistance and involvement during that time was invaluable. She never let me down.”
