Meet Dana

Hey there, I’m Dana, a local Coldwell Banker Brown Realtors® Real Estate Agent. I was born and raised in Granite City, IL. It is where I wanted to live and raise my children, and I’m happy to call Granite City home. The Granite City (Metro East IL) area is a short distance from downtown St. Louis (just across the Mississippi River), where you can live outside the hustle and bustle but still be close enough to enjoy all the amenities a large city has to offer. I appreciate that I can help individuals and families buy and sell their homes in such a great location. In addition, I’m passionate about educating my clients through every step of the real estate process, allowing them to make the best-informed decisions possible while reassuring them that they can and will overcome all challenges.

Why I’m Different

With a background in legal administration, I’m known for outstanding client services, prompt communication, and organizational skills. In addition, I bring energy, determination, a competitive spirit, and a belief in success. I adopt my client’s real estate interests as if they were my own. I love the challenge that comes with a real estate transaction and being able to figure out a solution to allow my client to achieve their goals. Let me be the anchor of your team.

 

In My Free Time

In my youth and much of my adult life, I played competitive sports, which have blossomed into playing at the National Senior Olympics. But most of all, I love to spend my downtime with my fantastic family. I enjoy relaxing in the pool, taking photos of my family, and traveling to new places together.
