Dana Fitzpatrick - Voted 2024 Best Realtor and Real Estate Team on Bainbridge--COMPASS - Bainbridge Island, Washington

I think Google needs to make a sixth star option for situations like this. We have purchased houses before, but Dana and her team went above and beyond. They made the house hunting and purchasing process (from out of state no less) as simple and comfortable as humanly possible. When we needed more information about new listings, she was quick to respond allowing us to act swiftly. Her insights as a Bainbridge local were quite helpful for understanding the different areas of the island and the uniqueness of island life. When our offer was accepted, her team was fast and thorough with the title/escrow process. And when paperwork issues arose near closing, Dana effectively coordinated the involved parties to promptly resolve the issue. Even after closing, Dana offered to help us coordinate appliance deliveries and contractor visits so the house would be ready for our arrival. Dana is thoughtful, caring, helpful, genuine, and easy to work with. We definitely plan to partner with her for any future real estate transactions.

Patience of a saint, killer information, winning smile!

Dana is not my agent but she went above and beyond! My agent was not available to show us a home. Dana stayed late to meet with us and share her vast knowledge of the Bainbridge area! We loved our time with her (and would absolutely recommend working with her)!

We are proud owners of a Bainbridge home and moved here from Los Angeles. We connected with Dana online and first met in person when we did a mad tour of the island on a “looksie” trip. Right from that first connection Dana seemed to get us and hone in on what we were looking for. This gave us a huge amount of confidence trusting Dana when properties came up when we were back in LA. And one did! It was listed on a Thursday. Dana organized an inspection and we made an offer on the following Monday. Dana’s insights into our purchase strategy and offer number were insightful and ultimately our offer was accepted. Dana’s help doesn’t just stop at the transaction. She introduced us to people in Bainbridge. She put us in touch with painters and other tradespeople. She is an invaluable resource for Bainbridge newbies!! We can’t speak more highly of her and what she brings to buyers.

Experience, local market knowledge, connections and positive energy are the characteristics of a good realtor. Dana has it all.

We have bought and sold a number of houses over the years, so we are very experienced in that area and never gave much thought to selecting a realtor. We always sold our houses quickly at or above market price. We recently listed our house and after 3 months, didn't have a single offer…never happened before. We were shocked and disappointed and assumed it was just bad timing or an unpredictable market.

We took our house off the market and did some research and interviews of prospective realtors. Dana Fitzpatrick stood out among the realtors with her positive and optimistic approach. Other realtors talked about the unpredictable market, recommended expensive improvements and a lower value than we had expected.

Dana appreciated our comprehensive remodel and seemed excited about representing us and our home. She also offered support in staging the interior and optimizing the appearance of our home and yard. Dana listens and communicates well and was always available to answer any of our questions.

We were surprised and ecstatic when Dana sold our house immediately and, at an excellent price—what can be better than that? We highly recommend Dana Fitzpatrick.

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 recommended!

Very happy with the work Dana and her team did. Very professional and thorough in listing my home, which paid off in a very quick sale. Would definitely recommend using Dana and I look forward to using her again.

Buying 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 further than Dana.

We feel so lucky to have found Dana! Right from our first meeting, we felt confident that we were in safe hands. Dana's knowledge, responsiveness, resourcefulness, kindness, and sense of humor made the process of finding a new home a breeze. Her expertise and insights proved invaluable to us throughout the entire home-buying process. Although we had a pretty good idea of what we were looking for in our new house, being new to Bainbridge Island, we relied on Dana to help us understand the local market, share neighborhood insights, and identify house-related details we may have missed. When we found our dream home, she made the potentially stressful endeavor of buying it amazingly easy. She and her team supported us every step of the way, and Dana's excellent negotiation skills resulted in an accepted and competitive offer. Furthermore, Dana helped us settle into our new environment by sharing information about local events, activities, and restaurants. Thanks to her, we now have a beautiful home in a wonderful community and feel truly at home on Bainbridge Island.
