We were very impressed with Dana's professionalism and her endeavours to look after her clients needs. We came to Ontario from another province as a result of a government relocation.

Dana was remarkably patient and constantly looked after our best interest, even if it meant walking out of a deal if conditions were not favourable to us. Thank you Dana for your kindness, professionalism & devotion to your client.
