Alamo Seller's Guide for a Confident Home Sale

We originally planned to purchase a home sometime in 2026 or early 2027. We were not in a rush but also had no idea how to get started. As first-time home buyers, we were unfamiliar with the home purchasing process and felt overwhelmed. From our very first conversation, Dana took the time to understand our vision. I shared a detailed list of everything we hoped for in our dream home, and she thoughtfully scheduled our first home tour. When a newly listed home that matched our criteria came on the market just hours earlier, I immediately texted Dana. Without hesitation, she arranged a showing right away and we were the very first viewers. The home ...

Seven years ago, Lori and I just arrived in Northern California without knowing the area or where the best place to live. We began our search for our home without a realtor. We toured several homes, spoke to many real estate agents, and one day a house caught our eye. We began talking details with the selling realtor, and through conversation we realized we were dealing with a very professional individual who we became very interested in doing business with. At that point, Dana became our real estate agent and she and her team helped us purchase a house a couple months later. Fast forward to today, we joined up with The Weiler team to help us s...

The Dana Weiler Team is the BEST! When my family had to sell our aging mother's house in Danville, we had no idea what we were getting into or how to even get started. Luckily, we chose DWT, and Dana and Carrie were there to guide us every step of the way, from setting the sale strategy, prepping, repairing, and staging the house and yard, and negotiating with contractors, all the way to marketing the property, managing due diligence and disclosures, and even helping to facilitate the sale, title work and fund transfer. Dana and Carrie know the Diablo Valley market, have the realtor network and customer leads, and understand how potential buyers th...

We met Dana Weiler 27 years ago when she helped us purchase our first home, and sell it 7 years later. Just recently, when we were ready to find a new home and sell our old one, there was never a doubt that we would have her help us again. This time we also had the pleasure of working the Carrie Shapiro. Our experience was second-to-none, from helping us find and buy our dream home (despite multiple bidders on the property) to selling our old house quickly and well over list price (in the midst of a slower real estate market). Their expertise made all the difference. Dana and Carrie bring a strong level of integrity.

We can't even begin to express our gratitude to Dana Weiler and Team. Back in 2021, we bought our home with Dana, and she was amazing. She not only helped us find our home, but also helped us feel at home with all her amazing referrals. She always kept in touch, answered any questions we had along the way, and would drop off cute little tokens of appreciation throughout the year, including her amazing pumpkin bread! Recently, she helped us sell our home, and we are beyond thrilled with the outcome-we had multiple offers, were in contract 6 days after listing, and closed $333kK over asking. Dana Weiler is hands down not only the best Realtor, but s...

For over 20 years, Dana Weiler has helped us, our children, and our parents buy and sell multiple houses. We've always been very pleased with the assistance provided and the results obtained. We just completed our latest house sale using Dana's team. Although the market conditions weren't favorable, our house sold immediately and at a price far above the asking. Dana and Paul gave us thorough, detailed advice on repairs and changes that would result in the best response from potential buyers. To perform the necessary work, Dana and Carrie have a large team of excellent contractors and repairmen on call that we were able to use. Throughout the prep...

Thank you, Dana and Carrie! Due to your amazing negotiating skills and knowing EVERYONE in the local real estate world, we are the happy owners of our Danville home due to your amazing knowledge of the market! Our children are so happy, and we are thrilled to be in such a fantastic school district. We loved how quickly Dana responded to all our questions, how helpful she was in leading us through the process, and the advice she gave us. Dana and Carrie, you were always so understanding when we didn't like a house and didn't make us feel pressured. Through the process, you were so patient with us and our ever-changing timelines and schedules. And wh...

I can’t thank Dana and Carrie enough for their outstanding work in helping me sell my home in Alamo. It was an amazing experience to work with them. From start to finish, they demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep market knowledge, and a true commitment to getting the best results. Thanks to their strategic approach and expert negotiation skills, we sold the house for well over the asking price, something I hadn’t even dared to hope for! They made what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable, always keeping me informed and supported every step of the way. If you are ever looking for someone who truly has your best inter...

Dana has assisted my husband and me on three different transactions and most recently in the purchase of our home in Crow Canyon Country Club in Danville. A couple of years ago, Dana helped us procure another home in Danville that we purchased to develop and re-sell. Dana took care of everything for the purchase and ultimate marketing and selling the property. I am a real estate broker but my career is in commercial real estate so I always rely on an agent familiar with all the idiosyncrasies of residential transactions whenever I buy or sell residential properties. Dana has been key in this respect and smoothly conducted our transactions. In closin...

Being a first time home buyer can be an exciting, yet daunting, experience. Couple that with a highly competitive market and it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the process. Dana and her team came highly recommended to us, and we are so grateful for the referral we would not have been able to navigate the market without Dana! From our first conversation with Dana, we could tell how knowledgeable and passionate she is about real estate. She asked us questions specific to our lifestyle and who we are as people so she could narrow down the perfect house for us. Dana is well versed in the Danville community and was able to provide us with honest feedback ...

We’ve worked with Dana and Paul (and more recently Carrie) through four transactions twice as buyers and twice as sellers, and would work with them again in a heartbeat. Dana is one of the most professional and attentive people we’ve worked with in any professional environment. She’s an expert on the local market, creative in developing strategies, and fastidious in following through and executing detailed plans. She’s a great listener and expert negotiator, which means you can always be comfortable with her ability to act on your behalf. Paul brings encyclopedic knowledge of building structures and practical real estate law. Carrie rounds out the t...

We have used Dana Weiler’s expertise to help us find wonderful homes over the last 28 years. She has given us support all through the process, each time we bought and sold our three homes and the purchase of our fourth home. A warm smile, resources always at the ready and a positive attitude have made each sale and purchase easier than we could have imagined. I can’t imagine working with anyone else.

This is a letter of recommendation for Dana Weiler and Carrie Shapiro from The Dana Weiler Team at The Agency Real Estate Brokerage. After many months of going through the process of preparing our home for sale, waiting for it to close and being completely ready to purchase a home, we were so excited to finally enter the real estate market. In a very tight and competitive market we found our forever home in Walnut Creek and are so thrilled for our family and so very grateful to Dana and Carrie for helping us make this happen. Dana is exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced in the real estate industry, and is one of the most organized people you ...

We loved working with the Dana Weiler Team at the Agency! Carrie and Dana were able to confidently coach us through the ups and downs of our home-buying journey. Their knowledge of the area is insurmountable, which not only helped to guide us in finding our just-right home but also helped us feel immediately connected to the community upon our recent cross state relocation. Their hard work, dedication, and commitment to helping us, our new home will forever be appreciated. We highly recommend working with their team, Dana, Paul and Carrie.
