If I have the need for an agent again, Dana will be the first one I call. I recommend Dana to anyone without reservation who is interested in an agent who works at 100% plus.

We are first time home buyers referred to Dana by a close friend. We can’t speak highly enough about Dana’s patience and attention to our questions when purchasing our home. She was a lot of help guiding us to identify what we wanted and more importantly needed in our home. We were especially impressed with Dana’s people skills when communicating with the listing agent. She represented us and our offer in a way that made us more than just another figure on a bid. With Dana’s guidance and help the process of buying our new home was painless. Her commitment to us as our agent did not end upon “closing the deal” because she also insured that we moved and settled in comfortably. We would recommend her to our loved ones without reservation.

To Whom It May Concern:
How do I best describe ‘Professionalism’? Dana Frank leads the pack in the professional real estate market. No-wonder Dana has been awarded the top sales person in her region. Professional’s know how to perform and win. Dana is real estate professionalism at its best.
During these times of turmoil in the real estate market, Dana Frank was able to present a big picture plan of attack to me and act upon the most effective sales strategy for our home in Woodland Hills.
Her experience was extremely beneficial in creating traffic to our listing and then executing the sales closure to not one but many offers on our home for the most maximized sales value.
I can truly without any reservation recommend Dana Frank and her team to anyone who is considering selling their home. If you want results, then there is no one else but Dana Frank to represent your valued real estate.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding Dana as your exclusive real estate agent.
Sincerely,

I've been searching for a house for about 4 years, and having worked with 4 previous agents i can honestly say, if it wasn't for Dana Frank I'd still be searching. I'm not an easy person to work with, I have lots of questions, lots of demands etc.... Dana is amazing and you can tell she loves what she does which is the only reason i can come up with how she was able to tolerate me. when describing real estate people always say "location, location, location", when i think about describing Dana i say "professional, sincere, patient, meticulous and most important looking out for my best interest."
This is a perfect opportunity to say "THANK YOU DANA" for everything, I know it was a long and frustrating road but you stuck by us every step of the way and for that we are grateful!
Sincerely,
Nir, Liz and Noa Zvingler

Re: Dana Frank
I have known Dana Frank for several years, having met her initially at an open house in 2004 while house hunting for my sister. My sister bought and sold several homes with Dana since that time. When it finally came time for me to sell my home in West Hills in April, 2009, I chose Dana Frank to represent me. The first thing I think of about Dana is that she is a true professional. Specifically, I mean that she is knowledgeable, straightforward, always reachable, caring about the relationships she develops and has a die-hard work ethic. I made Dana prove herself to me prior to her listing my house, and she was the most persistent, the most prepared, the most informed and the most attentive and understanding agent I had interviewed. Dana was also firm and confident in her attitude about price and set realistic expectations for me with respect to the current market value of my home. Each offer she presented and each transaction we encountered was smooth, communicative and well thought out. She offered her advice when I asked for it, did her research about each client and their background and situation, communicated well with me, and yet allowed me to make my own decisions, supporting my concerns and issues along the way. Dana really listened to me and responded to my needs, which I think is a critically important quality in any business/agent relationship.
Prior to listing my house, I contacted Dana several times for advice about the rental market, the listings in my area, and other related information so I could determine whether I should lease or sell my home. She always responded quickly and with the best possible advice, given my concerns and questions. Dana also has great follow-through and always does what she says she will do. She strikes a great balance between being aggressive yet not offensive, and is willing to admit her mistakes and correct things immediately when called for. I admire Dana for keenly understanding the real estate market, and being able to communicate effectively with a variety of people and personalities, and always feeling like she is on my side and wants the best for me.
I have no hesitancy in referring Dana Frank to anyone who wants to sell their house, buy a new home, or just obtain advice about a property, as she is quite a savvy business woman.
I would be happy to speak with anyone who would like additional information regarding Dana. My cell phone number is 818 926-2036.
Thank you,
Susan Cane

We spent several futile months on searching. We went through two different agents. Then we found Dana and within 2 months we closed on our dream home. Prompt, organized and with great follow up, she knows the neighborhood inside-out and, above all, is very well networked (we were able to see houses before they officially went on sale and it helped tremendously in price negotiations). She saved us time and money – Thanks, Dana!

My wife and I spent about a month going to multiple open houses trying to find the right realtor. By the end of the month we were pretty scared as we found out there were some pretty crazy realtors out there! We finally stumbled across Dana’s website and blog and said “we need to meet this one!” In our hour long initial meeting Dana was outgoing, honest, upfront, insightful, candid, and what we felt was the most important thing, genuinely concerned about our needs for the house buying process. After that meeting we knew she was the one that we were going to go through this process with and ultimately we could not have been more pleased with Dana and her team!
In our first leg of the process we spent about a month with Dana looking at everything on the market in our parameters before we made an offer. In that time we relied on Dana’s expertise on what to look for, what should concern us, and what not to worry about. Dana was extremely prompt and proactive when it came to informing us of new homes to the market as well as being very welcoming to questions about property that we found ourselves. She and Samira were also extremely flexible, working around our schedules, when it came to going and looking at houses. If Dana was not available we would meet with Samira who we trusted just as much! We ultimately did not get the house we put the offer on so our search continued.
In the next leg of we did not see as many houses as we had already seen almost everything that fit our parameters. It became more of a waiting game to see what came on the market next. Even though we were not seeing property Dana and Samira would still check-in every couple of days letting us know if they thought something may come out shortly or even just to let us know they had not forgotten about us. Their constant communication is great as it reassures you they are still working hard to find your new place.
Also in the slower time we never felt any pressure from Dana to change our search parameters. It was very nice after talking to Dana the first time we felt comfortable that she would not take this approach and we were very happy when she didn’t in a time that we were not looking at a lot of places.
When we did find our place and have our offer accepted (after multiple counters) Dana and Samira did not walk off the job! Honestly we were even more impressed to see how they handled the process after the accepted offer. We had some special circumstances with the purchase that needed some behind the scenes leg work between the sellers, HOA, mortgage broker, escrow company, and lender. Dana took charge of this after the involved parties seemed to not all be on the same page. It was a huge relief knowing she was making sure all the different parties were doing what they were supposed to be doing to close the deal. Samira also met a window contractor at the house for us to get an estimate on some work that needed to be done before we closed. It was great to have a team working with you that can take care of everything that goes on after a deal is accepted.
When we originally started the process of searching for a mortgage broker Dana was great in giving us a few options of people that she would recommend. After speaking with a couple we went with Augusta Financial. Mike Meena and especially Dwayne Okpaise were great. Dwayne was responsive, organized and very helpful. Dana’s relationship with Augusta also proved to be very useful in the process.
We could not be happier with the experience we had with Dana! Anyone who is looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, honest, tell you like it is realtor could not go wrong with Dana and her team. Thanks for all your hard work, it truly is appreciated!

I never bought a house before. This was my first experience and boy am I glad I had Dana. She had the patience of a saint. Answered all my questions and basically would get in touch with me when it was time for the next step in the process. I'd do my part to finish that step and we closed the deal faster than originally planned. Not to mention all her people that she recommended came through with flying colors. I trust her. She got the job done and now I'm in my first house. I'll see her for the next one too!

As a first-time home buyer and having heard all sorts of "horror stories" about how unpleasant and painful the process can be, I really tried to be very careful and selective about whom I could trust to help me with the search and the transaction.
Dana was the 4th agent I spoke to, yet she was the only one to take time to carefully and methodically walk me thru the entire process explaining every step so that there are no surprises! Her brochure is a condensed version of volumes of literature you could find on the subject if you were to do it yourself. It is short and simplified yet not trivialized.
By encouraging me to shop around for an agent she made me feel comfortable and assured that she was not in it just for a sale! And that is important, about 95% of sales agents disappear as soon as you sign on the dotted line and they cash in their commission checks (sleezeballs). Not so with Dana, she continues working with you even after the close of escrow to make sure your home buying/owning experience is as ideal as possible. You can tell it is what she enjoys, and she's great at it.
But I digress. I quickly realized that I'd made the right choice in choosing Dana and her team of professionals (mortgage brokers, escrow company etc) to work with. The entire transaction went thru without a hitch, oh and to top it off the escrow closed a day earlier than expected!! I distinctly remember thinking and even asking Dana direct "so when is it going to get uncomfortable like I've heard so many times from others?" The answer my friends is simple - with Dana it does not!
So if you're a first-time home buyer or especially if you're not and you've had a previous experience that would fall into that category of "horror stories" then you simply owe it to yourself to meet with Dana.

Dana Frank and her team were consimate professionals.
They were always one step ahead of any problem that popped up, steering my wife and I safely through our first home buying experience. Dana's advice from the first day we met her, to the final day of closing, was always spot on.

Rare is the case that you encounter a true professional. One that is straightforward, candid, detail oriented, and most importantly, one who actually looks out of their client’s best interests. Without a doubt Dana Frank of ReMax is that professional. I interviewed many realtors to represent our family’s real estate interests and from the moment I met with Dana I knew she would be our real estate agent. Her candid interpretation of the San Fernando Valley real estate market allowed us to sell our home under tough conditions in just six weeks. In addition, she gave us valuable tips for “sprucing” up our home to maximize our price. In fact my neighbors expressed enthusiasm for increasing their property values. In addition, never once did I have to call her. She was always the one to initiate contact and I appreciated that very much. There is a reason why she is a winner. It is because she gets it. Thank you Dana for your true professionalism and guidance to my family and me

Dana ROCKS! She's nearly always available to speak with you, she's know her stuff inside and out. I've dealt with many realtors over the years and Dana is the best I've ever had the pleasure of working with. (In this weird market of 2006-07, I'm not sure if I would have gotten my price without
her.)

I have never written a testimonial before but Dana and her team did such an outstanding job with my listing I wanted to recognize their hard work. After unsuccessfully listing my home with another broker, I decided to try again, but only with the right person. As my home was difficult as it had many stairs and hardly any back yard though (I owned ½ an acre). Dana was energetic, professional and optimistic even when the homes drawback looked like it was not going to sell. At the end of the listing we had 2 escrows that fell through, due to buyer's personal issues, but Dana did not give up. She requested a month extension saying, “ I am not giving up on this house, I want to see this through”. My husband and I granted but said we were not hopeful. The right buyer arrived and within 20 days we had closed escrow and moved!
Dana will be the only person I call when I need a real estate broker in the future.

We just purchased a home at 5926 Le Sage Ave in Woodland Hills. Our agent was Dana Frank. Our home buying experience with Dana was WONDERFUL! Dana made home buying fun again. Dana made us feel so at ease and stress-free. Dana was always in contact with us to update us and always returned our phone calls. She gained our trust and we felt confident she was dedicated to us and our home-buying needs. We felt totally stress-free during this whole process which I never thought was possible when buying a home. We just loved working with her and would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to buy or sell a home. We just wanted to let you know how wonderful we think Dana is and we wish her all the best in her future endeavors.
We also wanted to acknowledge Samira Sacket. She helped us with the paperwork and was also helped answer our questions, and assisted us into the house (time, and time again). We think she's great! Dana and Samira make a strong team.

Dana is a great asset to a home seller and buyer. Dana's understanding of human nature and her negotiating skills have resulted in a very lucrative sales price for my home. In addition, her knowledge of the Los Angeles market and her experience has helped me identify an undervalued home in an good neighborhood.

On a scale of 1 to 5, Dana is a TEN! By getting to know the buyers, she really understands what the client is searching for and by knowing most neighborhoods like the back of her hand, there was not any wasted time driving from one place to the next. My wife and I would recommend her to ANYONE! Thanks for helping with our first house, Dana!

We were very happy to have Dana represent us in our first home purchase in Woodland Hills. When I called to look at one house she advertised, she showed up on time, and had a list of five more homes to look at! I saw six homes in 1 1/2 hours, and got an excellent introduction to LA real estate. She really listened to what I liked and didn't like, locations, etc. and in a few more days showed me six more homes, all with relevant features and locations.She had a commanding knowledge of the current inventory, provided her honest opinion (whether I wanted it or not) and found us the perfect house the second time out. We closed escrow in 25 days (including interstate document signings) due to her team's outstanding performance. I can recommend her without any reservation as a professional who will spare no effort for her client. It really is "all about you."

Dana successfully sized up my needs, tastes and lifestyle after one
meeting. She actually talked me out of bidding on a house that she was
showing because she knew, before I did, that it wouldn't be right for me
(she was 100% correct). This was one of several demonstrations of her
commitment to my best interest, all of which made it very comfortable to
do business with her. In a short time, she brought to my attention a home
that she knew would be right for me. She was passionate about it, and
absolutely correct. The open house was at 11am, and at 11:30 we agreed to
make an offer. She patiently walked me through every step of the process,
and was accomodating beyond the call of duty to make the deal go smoothly
for all involved.
Make it easy for yourself. Meet with Dana, tell her what you think you
want, let her help you discover what you really want, and let her find
your home for you.

Dana is simply the BEST. I had been looking for a few months when I
found her and that is when things started happening finally. It was during the peak but boy is she GOOD. She is quick to learn what your needs and wants are and she looks out for you when you get carried away. It was very comforting to know that she really cares for her clients and her goal is to make the transition easy and everyone happy. I plan to buy more real estate in the future and I will never use any other realtor than DANA…and so should you!

We accomplished a tremendous amount of work in a very short period of
time with Dana. In a month Dana masterly put together what normally
takes 90 days or more. Beyond that, everything went smoothly and I
felt at ease with Dana at the wheel. For me, there is no question that
Dana Frank knows how to take care of her buyers! She keeps our
interests at the forefront of the buying process. This is my first
home and I will never forget how seamless the process was. Thanks
Dana!

Dana Frank worked effortlessly when listing our home for sale. As first time home sellers we were apprehensive about the whole process. Knowing that Dana was representing us we needn’t have worried. She worked diligently to put our fears to rest and make sure we were in the loop as to what was happening along the way. Her knowledge of the real estate market was impressive and she did a great job advertising our home. In the end we were all pleased with the results. If you are looking for a hard working, gets-the-results-you-want realtor than Dana Frank is the one to enlist!

"Dana Frank was our realtor in May 2004. We explained to Dana what our requirements were and she quickly lined up a number of houses for us to check out and compare. This was pretty amazing as we were from out of state and only had a week to look. Dana was a master at selecting homes to show us and pre-arranged all viewings, making maximum use of the time by planning the routes and driving directions. Dana has a tremendous knowledge of the housing market and gave us expert advice on all aspects of homes and neighborhoods. We cannot say enough about how responsive Dana was in obtaining information and sorting out any and all problems that arose throughout the entire process. We have purchased 5 houses in different parts of the country, and we can say without reservation that she is the BEST! We recommend Dana to anyone who is looking for a realtor who is honest, hardworking, knowledgeable, and always keeps her clients' interests foremost."
Your grateful clients...Cindy & Phil Gregory

Dana Frank is someone you want on your side. She's prompt, organized and

move-in. She made the purchase of my first house an easy and worry-free process.
