Why Choose Lana?
"We can't thank Lana enough for finding us a wonderful home in a really difficult market. We had been looking in the Lamorinda area for over 6mo with an agent from San Francisco. I knew we needed someone with intimate knowledge of the neighborhoods and schools before settling on a house. Two weeks after calling Lana she had us looking at homes that were in neighborhoods we liked and ultimately found our current house. Not only did we totally trust her instincts, but she even reached out to her extensive network in the Lamorinda area and found us a house before it went on the market! She also helped us every step of the way as we negotiated and closed on the house. She definitely went above and beyond, acting as more than our agent. She is also our friend and helped me get connected to friends and organizations in the new neighborhood along the way. Each day we've been in our new house, we thank our lucky stars that we connected with Lana. We definitely wouldn't be here without her!"

"Lana Fitzpatrick is the BEST realtor we have ever used! She is full of honesty and integrity! I can’t say enough glowing remarks about her! Initially, I knew she was probably a good realtor based on seeing her name on numerous local real estate listings and transactions. However, I didn't know HOW AMAZINGLY GOOD until we used her to both buy a home and sell a home. She became a part of our family. From her amazing staging and updating expertise to her shrewd negotiation kills...... she has a 6th sense about knowing or feeling the pulse of people and situations. She really knows how to get to the heart of the matter in your best interest to get the job done! You will never regret Lana Fitzpatrick as your agent!"

"We have had the good fortune of partnering with Lana to sell our previous home. She is an ABSOLUTE professional, an amazing resource of local Lamorinda information and a tremendously hard-working agent. Lana approached all of our questions with an open-mind. Lana was timely and offered a great value for her work. Lana is very creative and understands how to showcase a home’s best features to make it attractive to a prospective buyer. This has been a tough market and we know that Lana always had our best interests in mind throughout the process. Lana is thoughtful and insightful but at the same time, she treated our buyers and their agent with respect. We highly recommend Lana as an excellent realtor for buying and selling in the Lamorinda area."

"What's that word that means smart, intuitive, accurate, informed, connected, generous, empathetic, has fabulous handbags and is flat out fun to work with? If it existed that word would be Lana Fitzpatrick, East Bay expert real estate agent out of the Coldwell Banker office in Orinda, CA. She is finesse personified, totally 'got us,' knew what we meant even we weren't sure what we meant, heard exactly what we were saying and not saying and used all of her unique alchemy to locate OUR home--the exact right place we needed to be. She is all over the Lamorinda corridor as well as Walnut Creek, Danville, etc., knows the real deal on local schools, has amazing mortgage/insurance/tax people referrals, and helped us make the leap from Bellevue Washington to our final destination in Walnut Creek in what must be the craziest real estate market in history--and barely broke a sweat. Her gracious negotiating style and impeccable timing were key to landing our new home from among 11 other bids. Above all she is a consummate professional, knows the East Bay market like no one else, and handles high strung/high maintenance folks like us with grace and humor. Fair warning, she is a hugger--and that works for our family. We are so grateful to have worked with Lana Fitzpatrick and hope everyone looking to buy or sell real estate is as fortunate."
