Locally known in the real estate world as “Sharkey”, born and raised in Utica and now proudly calling Rome home, my deep-rooted connection to the Mohawk Valley is at the heart of everything I do. From Sunday dinners in Utica, to holidays in Frankfort at my grandmother’s, to summers spent on Fourth Lake and Kayuta Lake, I truly understand what makes this region so special..I have experienced it my entire life! My husband and business partner, Rod, feel that home is where our heart is! To me, real estate is more than just buying and selling homes—it’s about helping people love where they live, and leaving an impact along the way (if you don’t believe me, just read our reviews..they highlight who we are, and how we conduct our business and lives too). With a background in Business Management and Marketing, I bring a strategic, results-driven approach to every transaction. My experience in organizational management allows me to deliver a seamless, detail-oriented process, ensuring that every client experience is smooth, efficient, and stress-free from start to finish. As a consistent top producer in both sales and volume, and the proud leader of The Dana Lauren Team, I have built my business on trust, dedication, and a relentless commitment to excellence. My clients value my approachable nature, strong communication, and unwavering attention to detail, knowing they have a fierce advocate every step of the way. Beyond real estate, I take pride in giving back to my community and staying deeply connected to the people and places that make this area home. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply exploring your options, our mission is simple: to provide an exceptional experience where your goals are my priority—and commitment to excellence and exceeding your expectations IS our standard.
