How I Work for Buyers
For Buyers: How I Work and What You Gain
Upfront and Transparent:
Many real estate brokers avoid discussing their fees, but I believe in clear communication. My compensation comes as a commission, typically around 2.5% of the final selling price, which is ultimately decided by the Seller. For instance, on a $400,000 home, my commission might be around $10,000.
Committed to Your Success:
Every Buyer journey is unique. While some purchases happen quickly, others take months to find the perfect home at the right price. On average, I dedicate more than 120 hours of service to my buyers. Think of it as an investment of $83 per hour towards your dream home.
No Pressure, No Cost:
My success hinges on yours. If you don't find the right home, you owe me nothing. I take the upfront risk and time investment so you don't have to.
What My Expertise Means for You:
A good Buyer's real estate broker goes above and beyond the basics. Sure, I'll show you properties and analyze past sales, but that's just the beginning. My ultimate goal is to empower you with two key things:
Informed Decisions:
The Best Possible Price:
These are just the highlights of what I can do for you. From managing paperwork to recommending trusted service providers, I handle every detail. Buying a home is a significant investment, both financially and emotionally.
You deserve an experienced advocate – that's what I will provide.

Dana arranged for a sale of our existing condo to coincide with the purchase of another one in a highly desirable area with limited inventory. A charge that we thought was nearly impossible. He was patient throughout the process and made the impossible happen. Dana is the most knowledgeable and accommodating broker we have ever dealt with. Slifer is fortunate to have Dana on their team.

We can’t thank him enough for finding us our dream spot, we’re forever grateful!

We worked with Dana and Jorge to sell our condo at North Star in Edwards, and they were fantastic. From start through closing, they were on top of every detail — answering our questions quickly, coordinating with the title company, and making sure nothing fell through the cracks. We'd recommend them without hesitation to anyone buying or selling in the Vail Valley!

As a first-time buyer, Dana understood our needs and was able to guide us in the right direction, especially when we had to compete with multiple offers. Dana is professional and made this transaction smooth from the beginning all the way to the closing day. Dana even followed up with us several times after the closing to make sure everything was fine.

Dana Correia and his assistant Jay Peterson were always helpful and responsive to all questions and requests made during the sale of Creekside and during the sale of our two lots in Singletree. The lots in Singletree were quite a challenge due to their topography. Dana had to do a lot of leg work to accomplish the sale of these properties because of their challenges. We would definitely use him again to purchase or sell future properties..

Dana was wonderful to work with and his knowledge of the market and understanding of our needs was critical for us. He found us the perfect property and was able to fill all criteria for what we requested in our wish list. I would highly recommend him to anyone purchasing in the area.

Dana and Jorge on his team did a fabulous job selling our home. Everything was five star from our first meeting to his counsel on strategy, pricing and marketing. He sold our home in a very competitive market and expertly moved us through all the steps to a successful closing. Even more amazing, we were out of town for the final preparation of our home for closing. He and Jorge truly went above and beyond to make everything seamless. Dana is an expert communicator and efficiently handled even the sticky situations. We highly recommend him.

Dana Correia is one of the best I have ever worked with. He has a great command of the market and was able to guide us through the various properties we looked at. His knowledge of the various buildings was impressive. Dana also did a great job on the comparisons to help us decide what we needed to offer and what our limit would be. Dana also shared his network with us to help with decorating, maintenance, and property management support. I would highly recommend Dana for your real estate needs.

It is not the Broker Slifer Smith that makes the customer experience good or bad, it is the agents/people that we deal with. I had a bad experience with a listing agent when I purchased another property but had a good experience with Dana Correa and Jorge big both my buying and selling experience. They are both professional, easy accessible, and very quick to respond to calls and request. They worked hard during both events to address issues and get the deal closed.

This purchase was my first experience with Slifer Smith & Frampton but I was very impressed from the very beginning. Dana Correia was great to work with as well. He was very responsive and had all the necessary information that I needed on multiple properties. He worked within the communication mediums I chose and made the entire process from viewing properties to making an offer, and then throughout the closing very seamless. I would definitely recommend Dana and SS&F to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Vail/BC area!

Dana Correia, our broker, was patient with us in representing our Beaver Creek property. In the end, it took a new light color of paint for the walls and beautiful staging. The Stager did an excellent job and it only took three weeks to close. We would highly recommend Dana Correia! With kind regards, Trudi Schraner

Dana Correa was incredible. He made the entire process from property search and offer negotiation to inspection and closing completely painless. He is a local expert who was always available even on very short notice to show properties and/or answer our questions at all times of the day. He is 100% my "go to" broker for all future real estate transactions in the Vail Valley.
