I’m Dana, nice to meet you!

My interest in real estate began when I was a child visiting model homes on weekends with my parents. Coupled with my background in energy conservation, I knew I had something unique to offer homebuyers and sellers. 

Real estate is about knowledge. My background in mechanical engineering helps me give my clients a unique perspective on their home.

I leave no stone unturned when it comes to buying or selling a home. I empower my clients with knowledge about building materials, waste, and energy conservation. I’m passionate about providing my clients with a unique perspective into the way homes are constructed and consume energy.

My Background 

I hold a B.A. Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Ottawa, and was previously a member of the Association of Energy Engineers. Prior to joining this team, I worked in energy conservation at a globally recognized firm in building controls and have worked on numerous commercial building greening projects. Since becoming a real estate broker, I have enjoyed every moment working with my clients to ensure they find their perfect home.

Real estate is about something bigger to our team; for us it’s about understanding your needs by asking the right questions and really listening to the answers. Once we understand your “why”, we build strategies to help you confidently make your move.

Industry Accreditations & Community Involvement

The most rewarding aspect of this work is the success of my clients and the development of my community. I’m proud to consistently elevate my skillset to elevate the client experience.

Fun Fact

I am an avid board game fan and I’m always looking to expand my collection! 

“Great experience with Dana and the team on both our condo sale and purchase of our home! Dana is incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, which was extremely helpful for us as first time buyers. She made sure we knew the ins and outs of each house we viewed. Dana was so patient and made time around our schedule. She was able to put us at ease during a not-so-hot time to sell. Thanks to Dana we aligned the timing of the condo sale with buying our new home perfectly. I highly recommend Dana to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”

“The team helped sell our condo and buy a new house; Dana was amazing and we cannot recommend her enough! She was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and friendly during the entire process. Dana gave consistent updates and was extremely fast to respond to questions, and she’s still helping us out well after the sale! Dana will make you feel like you're her #1 priority, and you will not be disappointed.”
