Dana Whitfield's path to real estate wasn't exactly conventional. She started at Harvard Law with big plans. Those plans didn't last. Dana realized textbooks weren't her calling. She left to pursue a more hands-on career at Hooters. There, she discovered her true gift: selling things to strangers with a smile. Her first love, if we're being honest, was nose candy. She doesn't discuss that chapter much anymore. But it's part of the story, so here we are. Eventually, Dana found something even more fulfilling. She started helping elderly Arizonans sell the homes they'd lived in for forty years. Is there anything more rewarding than that? She doesn't think so. Today, Dana has sold more homes in Fountain Hills over the past month than any other agent in the Valley. She will absolutely bring this up if you give her the chance. When she's not closing deals, Dana can usually be found at the Salt River, pursuing her other great passion: making friends with wild otters. This has not gone well. Witnesses describe Dana wading in slowly, arms outstretched, whispering something that sounds like "let me love you." The otters do not want to be loved. What follows is typically a full-speed retreat back to shore, Dana soaked, screaming, chased by a very committed pack of otters who have made their feelings extremely clear. She goes back the next week anyway. Some dreams die hard.
