“We had a great experience working with Dana and her team. She helped us secure a home in a very competitive area and guided us through every step of the process with professionalism and patience. I learned so much from her along the way, and she made the entire experience much less stressful. She’s also very personable and easy to work with. Even after closing, we’ve stayed in touch, which really speaks to how much she cares about her clients. Highly recommend!”

“One of the best and most knowledgeable agents on Long Island! I have firsthand experience working with Dana and not only does she know her markets and sub-markets extremely well, but she also knows VALUE extremely well. If I work with an agent I would want to work with an agent who has experience themselves and Dana has that in droves (buying, selling, building, flipping). Plus, she truly has her client's best interest at heart.”

“I truly can't recommend Dana highly enough. She's hard-working, honest and incredibly professional in everything she does. Throughout both my home buying and selling experiences she stayed closely connected with me consistently checking in and walking me through every step of the process so I always felt informed and confident. When it came time to sell, Dana staged my home so beautifully that I almost didn't want to leave! New sentence, her eye for detail, and understanding of the market made all the difference. I received the best possible price for my home because of her strategy. If you're looking for a realtor who genuinely cares and delivers exceptional results Dana Forbes and her team are the best. Look no further.”

“Dana was an absolute pleasure to work with during our home search in Manhasset. She is professional, knowledgeable, and refreshingly candid—qualities that made the entire process much smoother and more transparent. Dana was always responsive, patient with our questions, and genuinely focused on helping us find the right home rather than just closing a deal. What stood out most was her honesty and clear communication. She gave thoughtful advice, pointed out both the pros and cons of properties, and helped us make decisions with confidence. Her deep understanding of the local market was also incredibly helpful throughout the process. We’re very grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend Dana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated real estate agent.”

Her responsiveness is off the charts – I swear she never sleeps! What really sets her apart is that she deeply and genuinely cares about her clients. She consistently went the extra mile to help and made two potentially stressful processes feel easy and straightforward. I can't recommend her enough. If you need a real estate agent, stop looking and call Dana!”

“Dana was a pleasure to work with from start to finish! She rolled up her sleeves to get the job done. Our house needed a lot of work to get it on the market and sold. Dana was there for every aspect ,quickly making designs and ensuring things were done correctly. We sold the house is record time and closed in 30 days. I’ve also worked with Dana on the buying side and she was just as fantastic. I highly recommend her and her team of great people. Good luck!”

“We recently closed on our home in Manhasset, and we couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Dana. Our home search lasted nearly two years during a very competitive seller's market, but thanks to Dana's guidance and expertise, we ultimately found a home we love at a price we felt good about. As first-time homebuyers coming from New Jersey, we had a lot to learn about the local market, the neighborhoods, and the home-buying process. Dana was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and generous with her time, helping us navigate every step with confidence. Early in our search, we worked with several other realtors before deciding to work exclusively with Dana. Looking back, it was absolutely the right decision. She is deeply connected to the local market and has a level of insight into pricing, inventory, and market trends that set her apart from others we met. One thing we especially appreciated was how responsive and accommodating she was. Scheduling showings was always easy, and she consistently made herself available whenever we wanted to see a property. Beyond her professionalism and expertise, Dana genuinely cared about helping us find the right home rather than simply closing a transaction. We are grateful for her guidance throughout this journey and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area.”

She truly listened to our needs and worked extremely hard to make our first home purchase as seamless as possible.

I cannot recommend Dana enough, she is truly a gem and we are forever grateful for her.”
