Dana provided absolute gold standard service!

She really did her due diligence in pricing, staging and marketing our home which then sold in only 5 days.

Throughout the entire process, Dana was very thorough, knowledgeable and professional. She made us feel like we were her only client! If you want the best, we would highly recommend working with Dana.

William Tyler Vannetta

I worked with Dana Parker to sell my house.

She was very friendly and easy to work with, but also very professional. She has a team that she works with to handle any possible need, from staging to minor repairs. She also has a lot of contacts in the services community, if something needs to be done (pest control, tree removal, etc). I am very happy with Dana's work to sell my property, and would choose her again if I ever have need. I highly recommend her.

Charlie Edward Gipson

Our real-estate agent Dana was a fantastic advocate for all the things we needed in a home.

We had a short window of time to find the right house in the right area and Dana got us across the finish line in time. I appreciate the focus and dedication to our needs and would highly recommend Dana and Berkshire Hathaway in the future. As someone that has bought and sold many homes in my lifetime. I know when an agent is just an agent and when one is more of a partner. Dana is truly a partner.

Expert service for a speedy sale!

Nobody knows real estate better than Dana in the Greater Tampa Bay. She did her homework and prepared a thorough marketing plan for our home, and we were under contract in less than a week! Pricing, marketing, and open-houses were skillfully strategized and executed by her and her team. Dana guided us through complex price negotiation and deal structures, and was there for us during inspections & repairs doing everything needed for us to stay on track for a timely closing. I look forward to using Dana for future real estate needs.

Dana Parker is a phenomenal Real Estate Professional.

From the moment I spoke to her on the phone, she was extraordinary in how she understood what my husband and I were looking for as we made our move to a new state. She educated us on different areas of the Tampa area. The home we bought was solely made possible by Dana's people skills and skilled negotiating. She is such a lovely person and so well educated on Real Estate in the Tampa area! I can't say enough wonderful things about her as a real estate professional and person!

Pamela Montanari

I am pleased to recommend Dana Parker as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home for your unique situation.

Dana is a joy to work with from the very first meeting at our hotel. The knowledge of the local Tampa area, and its environs, along with a thorough real estate expertise, was invaluable to us Tampa novices. I felt 110% confident by partnering with Dana. She was candid, provided great feedback, helped explain clearly all details, and managed the actual process. She took the time to introduce us to the market and then showed us many houses that would give us many great choices to evaluate. Dana also understood and worked with our time frame, responding quickly to all queries. Our experience was excellent from the start; we had an initial meeting with us and took diligent notes regarding our specific needs in a home and our budgetary limitations. She is highly talented technologically and made excellent use of relevant search engines and real estate databases to find homes that meet our needs. She did not waste our time with homes out of our price range or not in line with our requirements. I am incredibly confident Dana the right partner to help me navigate this process. I am pleased to recommend Dana Parker to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is hands down the best in the business, in my opinion, and when we ever need to move again, she will be our first choice in real estate agents. Thanks to Dana.

George Grondin

We were looking for a second home in St.

Petersburg and Dana was preselected by our realtor in Pa. Some of the first words that come to mind when describing Dana as a person are kind, genuine, and thinks Yes before No. We looked at several houses together both online and in person before finding an oasis to call our own. Dana has a natural talent for being organized and responsive. What started off as a real estate transaction quickly became a friendship that were are both excited and grateful for!

Wendy Wittman

Dana worked tirelessly to help us make the big move to the Sunshine State!

Rickey Williams

Dana is a terrific realtor, the perfect combination of knowledge and experience in the Tampa Bay area market and treating her clients with kindness and respect.

She goes out of her way to make the home selling or buying experience as painless as possible. My sister works night hours and Dana worked hard to ensure that appointments to show our father's house allowed Cindy to get the sleep she needs. Her suggestions on how to make the house appear at its best were invaluable - not doing too much or too little. She is proactive and great at keeping everyone in the loop which was important since I live in North Carolina. We cannot recommend Dana highly enough!

Elizabeth Tucker

Dana- was extremely helpful in finding us the perfect home for us in Tampa.

She went above and beyond as we were doing our search from out of state. She took the time to understand our wants and needs and visited countless homes for us. Given the competitive market situation it took us a few bids to finally get our home but in the end it’s the perfect location, size and style of home we were looking for. Without Dana finding this home would not have been possible!

Selling a home is a lot.

There are a hundred moving pieces, and honestly, it's easy to feel like just another transaction. Dana made sure that never happened. Every step of the process, she kept us in the loop. No radio silence, no vague non-answers. She was proactive about updates and honest when we had questions, even the ones that didn't have a clean answer. That kind of support is hard to find and genuinely made a stressful process feel manageable. If you're selling your home and you want someone who pays attention to the details and is supportive from start to finish. Dana is the one to call!

Dana Parker was WONDERFUL!

! She listened to our needs and then did everything she could to help us find the perfect home for our family. And as time went on and we looked at more and more homes, we changed our minds about some of the things we thought we wanted.

"Dana was an excellent agent for our purchase in the Tampa area. She was able to sort out our interest / focus points and get us aligned with properties that mattered. From start in our search, to follow up on properties we showed interest, to making an offer and getting to the final agreement she was there every step of the way. Her connections and knowledge of the area was the added bonus when it came time to close in helping with insurance, storage, contractor and general information on area logistics. Not new to purchasing a home since we have done it 8 times, Dana was absolutely "the best"."

"I have not had good luck with Real Estate Agents before until I worked with Dana Parker from Florida Properties Group. She came to my rescue when an another Agent went dark on me and was absolutely amazing. Dana was able to create a clear plan for me to sell my house which was accomplished in only one week after it was put on the market. All aspects where done in such a professional manner that is was impressed. Dana was then able to find me my new home and help with the purchase as well as other items that came up during that purchase. All I can say is Dana is a 20 on a scale of 10, everything went smooth and timely, the experience and amazing and I will never deal with any other real estate company. If you want a professional then work with Dana. I cannot express how happy I am with the whole process. Thank You"

"Dana is the best real estate agent out there! She is absolutely wonderful to work with in every capacity. Dana was more than helpful in helping me find a home in the crazy home market in Tampa in 2021. She was extremely honest, upfront, and was able to track down a great townhome that fit right in my price range! Dana was extremely communicative, very easy to reach, always happy to help and answered all of my crazy questions at all times. Dana made finding my first home a breeze; I couldn't have done it without her. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a place in the Tampa/St. Pete area! I will definitely work with her again!"
