The service provided by Dana Fitzpatrick far surpassed any realtor we have ever worked with and was exactly what we needed when we relocated to Bainbridge Island from out of state. We were only in town for one day and needed to see as many houses as possible before flying back to Chicago. Dana quickly understood what we were looking for and arranged showings that met our needs and budget. Her carefully designed itinerary provided us with a good variety of locations across the island and insight into what each area had to offer. We found our new home on that first day and Dana expertly guided us in submitting a successful offer. Over the next few weeks, Dana provided invaluable support every step of the way. Dana’s organizational skills and professionalism were top notch and her prompt communication even across multiple time zones was impressive. She is personable, kind, authentic, and trustworthy. Many realtors disappear after the sale is done, but not Dana. Even after the closing, Dana continued to reach out ensuring that we had all of the information we needed to successfully relocate from the Chicago area to Bainbridge Island. Passionate about her job and helping clients, Dana has gone over and above providing valuable resources and referrals to help us get off to a great start. Without question, Dana and her team delivered a straightforward and seamless home-buying experience that exceeded our expectations. Highly...
Read moreBuying a home on Bainbridge Island was a big step for our family. We were unfamiliar with the market, we wanted to know more about the area, we weren't sure how to approach things while we were on the east coast. By virtue of a referral from a friend, we reached out to Dana. She spent an extraordinary amount of time with us on the phone on our first call, and from that call was the moment we knew. Dana broke down pricing, strategy, neighborhoods, listened to our feedback, and helped filter our search. We gained so much confidence in our follow up phone calls that we chose to pursue a house sight unseen. Dana helped film the house and the surrounding neighborhood. She provided candid feedback and helped coordinate with a friend to get a second opinion. We bought with total confidence, in the area and at a price that worked... all with Dana's help. This was by far and away the best home-buying experience we've had, and exceeded all expectations. Dana takes personal pride in the home buying experience and making it the best possible experience. If you want somebody who is responsive, cares, advocates for you, and helps you win... Dana and the team at Compass are the ones for you. Beyond just the house, she also extends her network and island experience to you. She is invested in the community, and gives a portion of her commission back to her local community. It just doesn't get much better... you need look no...
Read moreMe and my fiancé 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 in 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...
