You have alternatives.
I can help.
Facing foreclosure is difficult. I know. A lot of my best clients have been in the same situation. As I have told them, I want you to know: It will be all right, you will get through this.
Looking back, I remember the anxiety, the pressure, and the problems that my clients and their families had to deal with – especially the disappointment that they saw in their children’s faces. Some of them saw their loans suddenly rise. Others fell behind on their mortgage because of hardship. And others had received a foreclosure notice from the bank. All our clients had one thing in common: They were running out of time....continue reading

Dana had the patience and tenacity
I had already been "fired" by two real estate agents before I was referred to Dana Ehrlich. I had been told that I was "unrealistic," and I would "never find what I wanted" at a price I was willing to spend, not in today's market. But Dana had the patience and tenacity to stick with me as I looked over scores of condos, and wavered about what area I wanted to live in. Finally, with Dana's help, I focused on what was most important to me and located a home I love. In working with Dana, I was impressed, time and time again, with her warmth, her personability, her knowledge and her eagerness to assist. Not only did she guide me through the search and massive amounts of paperwork, but also she possessed a wealth of knowledge about the outside contractors and services I would need to make the place my own. She gave me referrals for skilled inspectors, movers, painters, and upholstery cleaners. All in all, I'd have to say that my third try at buying a home--with Dana at my side--was the charm.

Dana took time to listen
I want to thank you for the great job you did on helping find my condo. You took the time to listen to what I was looking for and only showed me units that met my requirements. You have a great knowledge of the West Los Angeles area and knew what areas I would be comfortable in. You made the extra effort to come to my office whenever something needed to be signed. I first met you when you were in marketing but I think you have found your calling in real estate. Thanks for all the extra effort that you put in, I would (and have) recommended you to my friends and colleagues.

Dana explains the market
In 2004 , I put my home on the market for sale, not having any business sense , it was a very frightening time for me. She thoroughly explained the market to me in every aspect. Whatever questions or concerns I had, her answers was always given in a comforting professional manner.
She was very comfortable telling me what needed to be repaired or moved or rearranged. I sincerely felt she was not just interested in the sale, but showed great concern for my personal feelings. Step by step she carried me through the process, from the listing to the moving of my belongings.
The things I really appreciated about Dana was her professionalism, along with her honesty and integrity. She was also very resourceful in helping with ordinary problems. I must say my experience in working with Dana was truly wonderful. Many mornings I awake and I thank God and Dana for finding me such a beautiful, serene place to call home. I knew and she knew the minute we walked in this place I was home.
Thanks for the wonderful experience!

Dana's ability to listen to my requests
The first thing that impressed me about Dana was when she took the time to come visit my current apartment to see the type/ style and level of property I was interested in. No real estate agent has ever taken the time to come and see my current living conditions to better understand my future needs.
When I started out looking for a property I knew that I had very specific demands. Her ability to listen to my requests and NOT show me any thing that varied from the Brief showed me her true selfless integrity in looking out for exactly what I needed and wanted. The level of warmth, genuineness and pure sincerity made me feel that not only was she working for me as an agent but that she could become a friend I would love to have for years to come. This is rare indeed in this very fickle city.

Dana was wonderful to work with
It was pure luck (or perhaps even fate) that Dana popped into my life just as I was considering buying a house. I was completely clueless as to where I should even begin however, all my confusion was put at ease when Dana sat down and explained all that was involved in the process of purchasing real estate. She also helped me to refine exactly what I was looking for in a house, to determine the best location for my needs, and to develop a realistic budget.
Dana was amazingly attentive and competent through the entire process: from selecting the perfect house and negotiating an offer, to closing escrow and delivering my keys. She made the whole experience flow seamlessly. But truly, what made Dana so wonderful to work with was more than her experience and competence-it was her personality. With the countless back-and-forth phone calls and meetings that take place in a real estate transaction, it
was so nice to feel that I was always working with a friend.

Dana knows customer service
Dana was referred to us by a friend and she made all of the difference in our move. Since we were living in New Jersey, we had a small window of opportunity to come to CA to look at homes. Dana was more than accommodating with our schedule. Not only does she know the market in the West Side, but she knows customer service.
She was always available to talk and I took full advantage of it. She would go out of her way to make sure the units would be available at the times we needed. She is always happy, sincere, and willing to do whatever it takes to make sure all of our needs are met.
It has been almost a year since we purchased and she still makes herself available when I have questions. Dana made this as easy as a cross country relo can be.
