Meet Dana.

I’ve called Bella Vista home and helped people buy and sell here since 2010. Before we tour houses, I’ll drive your commute with you and show you what each town feels like.

If an inspection gives us pause, we’ll talk it through. You’ll get my honest opinion and time to decide.

Home is what happens
outside the front door, too.

The dock you walk to. The trail you ride after work. The porch where your neighbors stop to talk. Let’s find the everyday that feels like yours.

Meet Dana

From “maybe here”
to your own front door.

Buying with Dana. The order, the time, and the money conversations we have along the way.

The first call

20–30 minutes. No charge. Tell me about the people, the budget and the ordinary Tuesday you want.

A lender conversation

1–3 days. Pre-approval is usually free. Ask the lender for a written fee estimate and a payment you can live with.

Our tour day

A half day to a full day. We drive the commute, check the street and visit a short list. Buyer representation fees are agreed in writing.

The offer

Usually 1–3 days of negotiation. Earnest money is contract-specific; keep it separate from your moving budget.

Inspection and decisions

Often 7–10 days under the contract. An illustrative inspection budget is $400–$650; specialist checks cost extra.

The closing stretch

Often 30–45 days after agreement. Lender and title fees vary. Ask for the actual closing disclosure before signing.

Your keys

Closing day, once the contract allows possession. We check the house together and make sure you know where the water shutoff is.

What would your
house sell for?

An online number hasn't seen your kitchen. Tell me what you've changed and we'll start there.

Same house. A fresh start.

A few words from the move.

Fictional review examples for this design, not customer endorsements.

Dana drove our morning commute with us before we picked a house. That mattered more than another kitchen photo.

We kept the oak floors, moved a few pieces and finally saw the room the way a buyer would.

Schools

School assignments can cross district lines. Verify the exact address with the district.

Outside your door

The Back 40 and Little Sugar trails make an ordinary Tuesday feel like a day off.

Room for real life, close to everything.

$275,000–$650,000 as an illustrative search band, not a current valuation.

Lake outings and paved trail connections are both within reach.

Talk about Rogers
Pea Ridge illustrative scene

A wider yard. A quieter evening.

A bit of country, without disappearing.

$240,000–$500,000 as an illustrative search band, not a current valuation.

The commute

Allow about 30–45 minutes to Bentonville, then test it yourself.
