With my busy schedule as a mother to a 1-year-old, writing a review is the last thing on my mind but I am making an exception for Dara West because I know she really earned one from us. We lived in a nice house in the foothills and were quite happy to stay there for at least another 10 years. Then our daughter came into our world and very quickly we realized that mountain living and the long steep drive up and down every day was just all too much in the everyday mix of parenting. I was so stressed out because we didn't know where to start and with the Colorado market on the constant rise, it was quite daunting until Dara came to our rescue! From the...

Dara goes way beyond the typical realtor. She provides a business perspective that makes me happy to recommend her to anyone. I am a real estate investor and own multiple properties, and needed an in-depth view of the Boulder County market. I needed to know things like what areas attract the best tenants, how much I could charge initially, and how the rent would increase with various upgrades. She has a strong property management background so she knew this stuff quickly, and accurately. She is an expert in the Boulder-area market. Her tweets about real estate news and prices helped me fill out my investment spreadsheet and make an educated decision...

I looked for properties for almost a year. As I wanted a place in a certain area, where properties very expensive, and I was on a tight budget. Dana and I looked at so many different properties I was almost ready to give up. Dana managed to go over places that had been on the market before but didn't sell. The place I bought was one of these which I'm very happy with. I think few realtors would have had the expertise, and been tenacious enough to do this.

Dara was essential in helping me find the perfect place! We met numerous times and she was always thorough and prompt in all of our correspondence. This was my first home purchase and she had a lot of patience with my (many) questions. I highly recommend Dara and will continue to refer others to her in the future.

Dara spent over a year patiently working with us till we found the perfect condo and then made it happen even though there were many other bids on the property. I had no complaints about her professionalism and was amazed at her kindness and understanding when we wanted to keep looking.

Dara is an amazing broker. We got exactly what we were looking for thanks to her incredible eye and fierce negotiation.

Goes the extra mile to make sure both seller and buyer are happy! 5stars.
