New York City real estate professional Dana Turner brings a tireless work ethic, well-rounded skill set and worldly upbringing to her work guiding city dwellers to their perfect homes.

Having grown up with a father and stepmother who worked in photography and finance, respectively, the household valued both business and the arts in equal measure. Her mother and stepfather, meanwhile, introduced her to life as an expat as their jobs for British Petroleum took them between the states and the U.K. Her deep fondness for real estate was forged early on by the family's frequent relocation, artistic pursuits and the ever-present copies of Architectural Digest that dotted the coffee tables of her childhood homes.

Thanks to her later experience as a fashion model — an industry focused on aesthetics — Dana is keenly aware of the importance of detail, design and quality. It's an attitude that carries over to her real estate work where she deftly guides clients to homes with style or potential, even if they're diamonds in the rough. Her prior roles in customer service and the financial sector, taught her the critical importance of attention to detail and responsiveness.

Dana firmly believes the adage, "Fortune favors the bold," and she takes great pride in a job done well. She's devoted to absolute honesty and integrity and to giving clients 100 percent effort, even if that means giving them a little push when they're stuck. She listens carefully and is laser-focused on delivering a positive experience and successful outcome. It's a goal-driven approach that's earned her fantastic reviews and a steady stream of repeat and referral business.

Dana specializes in luxury rentals and sales in the city's most sought-after neighborhoods, including Chelsea, Gramercy, the West Village, the Financial District and the Upper West Side.
