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

Testimonials

From step one, Dana instilled a sense of confidence in our decision to look for and purchase a home. Dana is a great agent: her profound knowledge of Ottawas real estate market and impeccable professionalism are combined with a great sense of humour, which made our experience looking for a home a lot of fun. From our first meeting, Dana struck us as an honest person, who is there to represent our best interest. We had no doubt that she would always share her opinion when we asked her what she thought about a house itself, an area or our options.

I’m thrilled with my experience working with Rachel and Dana. As a first time home buyer, the real estate market is scary. Especially during a red hot market and a global pandemic. Rachel and Dana impressed a ton with their knowledge of the market. They never made me feel rushed to conclude our business or ‘settle’. They both offered a very personal touch that made it clear they were working to find me the best fit for my needs. I look forward to doing more business with them both in the future, and will continue to recommend them to any of my peers entering the market.

Dana was amazing helping us find a home that's a great fit for us. She gave us solid support and advice through the process. Will definitely work with Dana next time we're in the market.
