Dana Cohen

Dana knows the greater East Bay real estate market like the back of her hand and is very well connected. We found Dana after having a rough experience elsewhere. We learned very quickly how Dana operates - she is thoughtful, practical, quickly learns your preferences, will tell it to you straight and will not waste your time. Dana tours homes weekly and can quickly let you know projected interest on a given home and whether it is worth pursuing based on your budget. If you are working with Dana and don't hear from her, it is because she knows nothing has come on the market that fits the criteria you have given her. Working with Dana was reassuring and we are so glad we found her. We are also glad we listened to her and continued to be patient, as we found our dream first home and could not be happier. Dana will tell you if you are interested in a home that she thinks may not be a good purchase, whether it be because she reviewed the disclosures and the property isn't in good condition, or because the home was generally not built well. She is very detailed oriented. Dana is also spot on when it comes to finding comps and helping you structure a competitive offer. Any home we lost while working with her was because we ultimately weren't willing to exceed our budget, and we're glad we held firm in those instances. We would highly recommend Dana to anyone looking for a home in the greater East Bay area. You will be in good hands.

Dana set reasonable expectations at the start. She gave us cost estimates that turned out to be surprisingly (to us) accurate. She outlined the entire process in advance and gave us a very clear sense of her strategy — and so, as we hit key steps, we understood what was happening and why. We felt like we were all on the same page from our first meeting through closing. The ongoing conversation with her kept us at ease. When we were nervous, she was steady. When we were tired, she was pleasant. And that, really, was a big part of this. As high as the stakes were, every interaction, every call, every meeting was easy. Those meetings lightened our mood. We so enjoyed working with her.

Dana is an exceptional real estate agent who truly goes above and beyond. Selling a home today is no small feat—it involves a maze of reports, disclosures, repairs, and updates, from painting and flooring to plumbing and electrical work. Dana managed every single detail with precision and care. She created a clear, organized timeline for each task, coordinated all the work seamlessly, and kept me informed every step of the way. Whenever a new issue arose, she guided me promptly and efficiently, making the process smooth and stress-free. On top of her profession, Dana is a joy to work with—friendly, approachable, and genuinely caring. Her expertise, dedication, and positive attitude make her not just an agent, but a trusted partner in the home-selling journey.

Dana went the extra mile to get us the sale price we wanted. She was upfront about the small amount of investment to prep for sale and was a good assessor of the market.

Dana knows it all! From contractors to what will sell, she has it down pat. I truly felt less stressed about selling my home than I ever have before. I also loved working with her. She is straightforward, kind and an all around great person.

We worked with Dana on the sale of another home and the results were better than expected. She made the whole process look easy and her team of professionals worked wonders on that home so we thought it would be a good idea to ask her to sell this latest home. What a transformation! We knew our home was an unusual property and she maximized its potential into a superb reality. We received offers over our asking price and could not have asked for a smoother transition.

Dana and her fellow agent Jim walked me through the emotionally difficult process of getting a long-time family home sold. They were warm, tireless and extremely efficient. We sold in a week. Couldn’t have done it without Dana.

It's no accident that Dana Cohen is one of Grubb's premier agents. Dana was our realtor when we sold our home, and from our first meeting she was honest and direct about what the process involved. Dana is what you want in someone involved in such an important decision, she is professional, listens and responds immediately to any questions or concerns. She kept us in the loop and informed us of anything that came up. She left nothing to chance, if something needed to be done, she was on it. She has the experience and knowledge to achieve the best outcome, and worked with a great team who had the same goal. Dana's advice resulted in our house selling in 5 days with 13 offers, we couldn't be happier! We can't recommend Dana highly enough.

I highly recommend Dana Cohen to serve you for your real estate needs. From our first interview I knew she was competent, professional, knew the market and would serve and represent me well. She did not disappoint. Her team prepared my Montclair home to sell, they worked endlessly to present the best my home had to offer. Dana kept me informed throughout the process. We made decisions together and she was open to my ideas. From start to closing Dana Cohen always had my best interest in mind. Without reservation, I highly recommend Dana Cohen.
