Client Reviews
I don’t remember how I met Dana, but I’m glad I did. I’ve done three real estate transactions with him, and he did an outstanding job each time. The first two transactions were buying and selling a property in Easton, MD. Even though Easton is a good distance from Dana’s office, he always made himself available whenever I wanted to view a property. I found a house I liked, and Dana worked his magic to get me a good price on it. I had intended to move into the house permanently, but I found that obligations I had in Anne Arundel county meant I was having to commute back and forth every day, so I ended up asking Dana to sell it for me. He found a buyer, and I ended up selling it for about 15% more than I bought it for. Most recently I contacted Dana to buy another house in Easton, as my situation had changed. Dana’s commission was extremely modest to begin with, and due to some financial difficulties on the seller’s side, he ended up eating some of that commission to get the sale to go through. I’ve always found him to be very responsive and always felt that he was working hard to represent my interests. I’ve worked with five real estate agents in my life including Dana. One was a dud; the other three besides Dana I felt were very good, but Dana is by far the best I’ve worked with.
My boyfriend is one of Dana's repeat customers. And Dana is nothing short of amazing. He's EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the area, the market, home renovations/repairs... you ask it, he has the answer! So thorough and dedicated to helping us find our dream home, which we closed on today 🙂 Can't recommend him enough!
Dana McConville of The Jim Schaecher Group Real Estate Team at Keller Williams worked with us to sell our house. From the work he did prior to listing our house, great communication during our new home search, timely on-going communication, and then most importantly through the inspection and closing process. He's a true pro. We feel we have a trustworthy agent, as well as a friend! Karl & Lauren
Our purchase of our new home went flawlessly. We live in another state and it still went smoothly and easily. Dana worked tirelessly for us through the whole process.
We met Dana through Zillow. We were looking for a house in Annapolis while still living in Florida. We took two trips up to see houses and left the rest of the search to Dana. He was incredibly responsive and found homes that met the description we set. He did not waste our time at all and spent several hours with us driving all over the place to see multiple houses on one day. Dana was honest with feedback on houses, made recommendations on the buying process and also on the neighborhoods. Even before we closed, he was helping us with local resources (the phone numbers for the cable & electric company, a house cleaner, kid camps). Dana far exceeded any expectations we had for realtors based on previous experience. I will use him for our next move and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anybody in the Annapolis area.
Dana McConville is top notch! Dana made every step of searching for a new home seamless. He met with me on short notice, he was patient with my ever-changing schedule, he was knowledgeable about the area, he helped me weigh options, he listened intently to my requirements and he delivered flawlessly. He was able to negotiate a deal that left me more than satisfied. He stepped me through the entire process and even checked up on me after I moved in. Because this industry is an area he has worked in for quite some time, I felt at-ease. I definitely recommend Dana. Call him NOW!
Dana is a class act. Very knowledgeable about the Annapolis Baltimore area. He always responded to emails and phone calls, gave very honest answers and never pressured me for a decision. When looking at properties ,he would always find the problem areas or flaws with the property and point them out to me. After looking at a lot of properties, I decided to purchase the first property he recommended.
I used Dana to sell a house in one county and as the agent to make my next purchase in a different county simultaneously. Best decision I ever made. He was always prepared and there when I needed him. He tells you the facts and is very knowledgeable ensuring his client is getting the best deal. He's already hired for my next sell years from now.
Let me just start by saying prior to working with Dana I had a very difficult time selling my home. There were multiple factors contributing to this, one of them being a previous agent who wasn't motivated to sell. When I switched to Dana I felt immediately less stressed because he was direct and efficient. He went above and beyond to help explain the process to me and was always accessible for communication. I will most definitely use Dana in the future and absolutely recommend him to others, thanks!
Dana was wonderful to work with throughout our home buying process. We were first time home buyers and Dana held our hands and guided us through the entire process. Our A/C broke shortly after closing and Dana was even nice enough to drive to our new house and drop off a window unit that we could use in the meantime. Dana isn't just a great realtor, but also a wonderful person! We highly recommend him!
Dana is very energetic, knowledgeable, and is most anxious to make the experience of selling one's home as smooth and troublefree a process as possible. He always returns calls as promptly as possible and follows up on issues that may be concerning the seller as soon as they are brought to his attention.
Best home buying experience ever. Dana was very knowledgeable of home sales in the Annapolis area and was able to guide me accordingly with a safe approach to buying the home. It goes without saying Dana is a good for the business and represents the industry in highest regards. Thanks again for the positive experience Dana!
Jim and Dana made selling my home very easy. They answered all my questions and concerns almost immediately and made the process enjoyable. I would definitely recommend both Jim and Dana for any real estate business.
I have bought and sold 7 residences over my life time. My most recent was the sale of my residence in Annapolis Maryland. This property had been used in recent years as a rental and was in great disrepair. I worked directly with real estate broker Dana McConville of the Jim Schaecher group. Dana worked tirelessly to prepare and sell my property. Dana took charge of cleanup, repair and upgrade and was totally dedicated throughout the restoration process. Once ready for listing, Dana took quick action to List and Sell my property at my desired price in only 30 days. The entire process was performed flawlessly by Dana McConville in a very professional manner. I consider the Jim Schaecher Real estate Group to be exceptional in every way and would use them time and again if the need arose.
