This is an overdue recommendation that, while tardy, is no less sincere. Dana Fitzpatrick (and her Compass team) were just amazing to work with on the sale of our vacant lot on Bainbridge Island. She stood by us through a tough down-market, and worked with patience and compassion. We found her to be highly professional and knowledgeable, and she provided superb customer service. Dana understood the challenges associated with selling an executive piece of land on the island, and shared excellent advice on how to navigate the process. We appreciated the data she provided on a regular basis, and her encouragement and calm demeanor were invaluable to us. We would certainly work with her again, and we highly recommend her.

“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. “

“There is a reason Dana has been voted the Best Realtor on Bainbridge. In a word, she’s brilliant. When you work with Dana, you understand instantly you are in professional, capable hands. Buying a home is tough in the best of circumstances; in a competitive market it can be downright brutal. That’s why having someone like Dana in your corner is essential: she’s informed, data-driven, rational, calming, practical, and incredibly intelligent (also fun! and kind! and seemingly never sleeps!) Even if you’ve purchased numerous homes and are an “old hand” at buying or selling, Dana will manage to teach you something new or add value in an unexpected way. If she had a fan club, I would definitely be running for President. #hireher”

“Whip-smart and detail-oriented with a heart of gold. I would jump at the chance to work with Dana again — don’t hesitate!, get her on speed dial.”

“Hands down the best agent! We recently purchased a home with Dana and can't say enough amazing things about her! Dana is incredibly knowledgeable, data driven and creative. She is an expert negotiator and her understanding of the Bainbridge Island market is second to none. Dana seeks to truly understand her buyers and genuinely seeks to find her clients the best fit for them, no matter how long the journey takes. There is no one else here on the Island that we would recommend! 10/10!”

“After a seven-year search, the "right house" had just been listed on the MLS. Unfortunately for me, the offer review was only 5 days away, I couldn't reach my agent (who had apparently retired), was no longer pre-qualified for a loan, and planned to leave on a lengthy trip in just 35 days.

I called Dana Fitzpatrick after reading customer reviews and I'm so happy I did. With Dana's encouragement and her "we can do this" attitude we met the offer deadline, won a bidding battle, secured a loan, and completed the buyer's side of the escrow process over the December holidays in only 30 days! The sale closed one week later while I was in another country.

Dana was a complete professional throughout--filled with encouragement and excellent advice when asked, but never pushy. She and her team did an excellent job and I recommend her highly.”

“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.”

“Dana is phenomenal- she steered us right *every* step and helped us close on an amazing home after a yearlong search. She’s a smarty and very analytical with compassion for the stress.”

“Dana is a real estate agent of the highest caliber. Her meticulousness, extensive knowledge, and unwavering availability made our home-buying experience an absolute pleasure.”

“Dana was an absolute joy to work with! We had many last minute changes in taste and priorities and she was flexible, responsive and worked hard to get us into the homes we wanted to see and ultimately helped us close quickly and with a great deal.

We feel so lucky to have found her!”

“Dana’s marketing brought out the best elements of our house. She arranged for stunning photographs and grasped the unique attributes of this one of a kind home. She helped us navigate through complex financial aspects. Dana has good instincts and gave us sound advice. We were pleased with our decision to hire her to supervise the sale of our home of 30 years.”

“Dana has been a total joy to work with. selling and moving can be stressful to say the least, but her and her team were always there to assist and smooth things out. We are simply grateful we have had the pleasure of working with her.”

“Here is the scenario, I am the lending side of the coin for our transaction and the buyer (our mutual client) had a really unique scenario and needed to move FAST. Throughout the transaction Dana had kept not only me and my team in the loop, but the title company, the listing agent, and kept making sure she treated EVERYONE as if they were the customer. If you are looking for customer service, dedication and even a few jokes thrown in for a phenomenal experience I hope you go no further than a phone call with Dana. If you have not settled on an agent I implore you to hear her out. It is tough to find good customer service, and when it is offered all around I believe it separates the good from the great.”

“We feel so lucky to have had Dana represent us with the sale of our home here on Bainbridge Island. We listed our home during a slower market, and Dana remained confident and poised when challenges arose, and continuously created novel and fresh marketing campaigns. Dana's amazing intuition was apparent as she quietly supported our family in many ways, some of which we didn't even know we needed. Her business acumen, creative thinking, grace and incredible work ethic were essential to closing a deal that allowed our family to move forward with our exciting next phase. Dana Fitzpatrick is not only a great realtor, but also an amazing person that we are blessed to have in our lives.”

“We had a wonderful experience working with Dana. She was kind, straight forward, and incredibly knowledgeable about a very tough market for buyers. Dana did everything to make buying our home as seamless as possible. She is incredibly responsive and generous with her time, and as a bonus our kids loved house hunting with her. Home buying can be stressful, but Dana made it a remarkably smooth and pain-free process.”

“We reached out to Dana after a property we had on the market with another realtor failed to sell. Dana showed us sales approaches more in line with today's clients. Social media pages and drone videos give clients a better picture of the property without having to actually visit the site. With Dana, the property was sold in a short time and at a very acceptable price. Definitely a 5 out of 5.”

“Where do I even begin? Dana was everything we needed and more. The home search process was done remotely which required trust and lots of back and forth. Dana managed all of this with ease while being proactive and thorough. The eventual offer and contract and closing process were smooth and we always felt we were in the best hands. Dana is a professional with all the warmth and generosity of a friend. Couldn’t ask for more and would recommend it to friends, family, and anyone who is looking for knowledge, savvy, and soul.”

“Dana is an absolute star. She handled every detail and went well out of her way to make my property as desirable as possible. It was seamless. As a single older woman, having her expertise and support was invaluable. I can’t recommend her enough. She is Wonder Woman - super amazing in every way.”

“Dana deserves 10 stars! I was looking for an affordable water view home in the hot Seattle real estate market. I interviewed another agent and hired Dana for her local knowledge and strategy on a contingent offer where multiple offers were expected. For the offer, she went above and beyond to include additional analysis and paperwork to represent me as the ideal buyer. She was a pleasure to work with and answered every question. I will definitely keep in touch going forward for any future needs. I closed in 4 weeks. It's my dream home.”

“The area we were looking to buy a home is an extremely competitive market with very limited inventory. On the front end, Dana provided a seasoned local perspective and genuinely valuable insights on specific property features. On the back end, Dana's strategic advice combined with her exceptional real estate knowledge and clever application of that knowledge definitely gave us a strong competitive edge when it came to structuring a compelling offer and negotiating the contract. We really enjoyed working with Dana and could not recommend her more highly.”

“I cannot say enough about how wonderful Dana was to work with. She was incredibly patient, responsive, gave us zero pressure, knowledgeable, fun, understood us and what we were looking for so well, available, happy to show both us and my parents homes (sometimes multiple times!), and frequently went above and beyond what I was expecting. I thought that we would have to give up some of what we wanted in order to find a home on Bainbridge within our price range, but in the end we were able to buy a home that was everything we were looking for and more! We are so grateful for her help in this process. Thank you Dana!”

“Dana is clearly on top of an extremely competitive challenging real estate market. From the first encounter and throughout Dana is taking care of her clients. We are moving from the east coast to Bainbridge. Couldn't trust Dana more that she will help us negotiate a very complex market. On top of that she was available at the last moment to do a walk through on a rental for us. So looking forward to working with Dana and totally trust we have the best realtor on our side!”

“Dana is a real find for us. First, she represented us in the purchase of our new house. Second, after that experience, we engaged her as the listing broker for our old house. She handled both in her friendly, business-like manner. When she says that she'll do it, whatever "it" is, you can count on it being done. Finally, her opinion in matters of real estate proved to be spot on. Couldn't be happier.”

“We engaged Dana Fitzpatrick to help us find a home while we were under a ton of stress with a remodel gone bad this summer. Dana quickly got to know us and the dynamic of our family and she applied this information to accurately help identify potential properties for us. She was available around the clock for questions and between her and her partner Anne, we were able to see houses on short notice easily. As busy professionals with a lot going on, we really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to work around our schedule. I recommend Dana without hesitation!”

“Dana Fitzpatrick made our buying experience so easy. Her knowledge and professionalism are unparalleled. Dana’s priority in taking care of us is something we will remember forever. Anyone who wants excellent communications, subject matter expertise and wish to work with a genuine person that cares about their clientele should look no further than Ms. Fitzpatrick! Thank you for everything!”

“We first met Dana in 2021 while Living down in San Diego. The market was crazy at that time and when we saw a house we loved, she was our first call. Dana took the time to FaceTime us and walk us through the property. She explained the process in great detail. We put so much trust in her, sight unseen. Although we lost that house (to a cash offer very much over asking) we stuck with Dana. She listened to us explain what we were looking for - the house we were holding out for, and after a year of searching, she found it for us - before it hit the market nonetheless. I feel she really stuck in there with us on our search and ended up finding us exactly what we were looking for and more. Plus 5 fruit trees I never even knew I needed to add to my list! :)”

“Where to even begin! Dana is hands down the best. The caliber of service and expertise she provided when we needed to sell our home was truly a blessing. There is a long list of to-do's when getting your house ready to go to market and Dana was with us every step of the way, going way above and beyond to get it all done. She is a true partner and works with such ease and grace. We are forever thankful and know we couldn't have done it without you.”

“I highly recommend Dana Fitzpatrick. She is a professional, knowledgeable and highly skilled Realtor. She helped my mom and I with a home purchase. Dana has excellent knowledge and familiarity with the market in Poulsbo, Suquamish and Bainbridge Island (the areas we were looking in). I have been in the lending industry for over 30 years. I found Dana to be a great advocate, skilled negotiator, great communicator and very responsive. I would strongly recommend Dana Fitzpatrick for purchasing or selling a home anywhere in the Pacific Northwest, Puget Sound, Bainbridge Island, or Seattle area.”

“We can't say enough good things here - Dana is amazing! The whole process in selling our house was smooth and speedy. Her knowledge of what needed to be done, what we should do to make it successful, etc. was spot on. Highly recommend working with Dana - you won't regret it!”

“My family and I are very grateful to Dana and that she did to help us buy our new home on Bainbridge Island. I had to fly up from Texas and see a handful of homes in a short time span. We then looked at other homes remotely (Having Dana walk through the house on Facetime). Ultimately, we were able to negotiate a house - all remote - and get the deal done. We would highly recommend.”
