Our team

Dana has been our realtor for over 8 years. She is an awesome person and her work is extremely thorough. She is someone that understands what you want and will guide you against a wrong decision too, which is the best possible realtor to have! We are grateful for her and she is a good friend too.

Dana and her team are top notch! If it wasn’t for Dana and her well established relationships in the real estate industry we wouldn’t have had the opportunity to purchase our dream home! Dana handled our walk through and helped organize our out of state closing. She always made time for us and answered all of our questions…. And we asked A LOT of questions!! Dana is kind, informative, a great negotiator, and honest! We are so thankful for our friends who recommended Dana to us!

Dana and Franklin were awesome partners in the purchase of our new home. Both were incredibly helpful through the entire process. I highly recommend working with them!

Dana and her team at Envite Realty were outstanding!
From our first meeting and through the signing of our sales documents, Dana remained engaged and professional.
Dana’s expertise and knowledge of the local markets and regional real estate trends was invaluable.
I would recommend Dana and Franklin and Envite realty to anyone who is interested in a customer oriented experience and high value outcome!

Dana, Franklin, Courtney and the team made my selling experience an excellent one! I am appreciative of the team’s expertise and extra efforts in walking me through every step as a naive seller. I always felt well cared for and never nervous. They even came to my house to drop off due diligence and to help me sign closing paperwork. In short, they made it an amazing experience. I would recommend working with this team for any real estate sale-they are the best!

I absolutely adore Dana. I have worked with her to buy two homes, and each experience was smooth and easy-going. She is prompt with replies, quick to set up viewings, and has detailed knowledge of the area. More importantly, Dana is not just interested in selling you a house- she wants to help you find a place of your own, replete with the knowledge of where your home needs a little extra love. I recommended her to my sister and she also had a great experience with her. Dana listens to what you are looking for, beyond just your words. I could t recommend her more highly.

She was fantastic every step of the way! We were new time home buyers, and she took us through the whole process step by step. She knows the market like the back of her hand. Her partners are all top notch. We ended up with a beautiful house that we are so excited to live in! Dana is quite simply the best!

Dana's team promptly scheduled showings, provided skillful guidance for our offers, and assembled all the pieces to the puzzle for financing, inspection, appraisal, and closing. Seamless end-to-end support of what can be a very stressful process. They made all the difference.

Dana has been the best agent we have ever worked with! Recently relocated from Nashville to Raleigh, this being our 7th home buying experience. Dana is very kind, respectful and listened to all of our needs while shopping for a new home. She gave helpful feedback and was very honest and personal with us. She is very sweet, but was firm and aggressive when we needed her to be. We are very thankful to have her as our agent and would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling in the Raleigh area.

Dana and the entire team at Envite Realty are hands down, without a doubt, bar none the BEST real estate agents we have ever had the pleasure to work with. We were relocating from NY and struggled with a few agents to really go out and help us find a home while we were living in NY. Dana took a “boots to the ground” approach for us and researched existing homes on the market, talking to builders and visited multiple properties on our behalf and sending us photos and videos as she walked through the homes with her feedback on the surrounding areas. We literally felt as we were there with her as she sent all the videos and messages to us. She was extremely thorough, involved and truly advocated for our needs during the entire process of building, buying and closing on our new home. Even after closing, her team was at the house to accept delivery of fridge and washer/dryer while we were preparing to move from NY. It is without question or an ounce of hesitation that I recommend her and the team at Envite Realty to handle any of your home buying needs. I can only hope that she is still working when my kids are ready to buy home so I know they are trusted hands

My wife and I were skeptical about finding a house that was superior to our previous home in Nashville, TN. Dana exceeded our expectations in every possible way. She was extremely friendly, prompt, communicative, resourceful. Not only we found a house that is better than our previous house, we found a forever house that we can call home! So grateful for Dana’s kindness, care, and due diligence. We couldn’t be happier…

Dana and her team are five-star and we whole-heartedly recommend them.

Buying a home in North Carolina while living on the west coast presented several unique real estate challenges for us. Dana Ellington and her team made the experience a successful one. Dana’s pleasant, detail-oriented approach, efficient communication style, knowledge of real estate transaction practices, and enthusiasm for her clients’ best interests all made it seem effortless. But it wasn’t—Dana and her team are hard-working and absolutely professional in every aspect of the realty business. Her multiple visits to the property we were interested in made it seem as though we were there, on the ground. She answered every question we had and helped us through many complex issues we could not have navigated without her knowledge, patience, and business acumen. We soon realized that we were in very good hands and that Dana and her team could meet every obstacle we faced along the way.

If you want the most money for your home with the most caring and efficient realtor, Dana is the one to use! I read all the reviews and they are so true. I have never met a realtor as good as Dana and I was one a long time ago. Meet her! You will know after five minutes.

Dana Ellington helped us buy our first home in NC this spring, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the process and outcome. She took the time to understand the details of the lifestyle we were looking for, was delightfully attentive throughout each step of the process, and responded quickly to all our questions about the area and amenities (including some late nights!). As we were unable to make it to the area when houses came on the *hot* market, Dana videoed each of the walkthroughs and shared thorough commentary highlighting features and potential issues. Her pulse on the market is exceptional, and she guided us through putting together a strong offer in a competitive environment to win a house that we absolutely love. Even after closing, Dana and her team went above and beyond with helping us out multiple times with incoming deliveries when we were not in town. Quite simply, Dana is as good as they come when it comes to real estate professionals and an absolute joy to work with!

Dana helped with the purchase of our first home in 2017, so when it came time to selling we knew we wanted her expertise. She walked us through everything, worked with our schedule and clearly had our best interests in mind. If we moved back to the triangle area, we would not hesitate to get in touch with Dana again!

Dana Ellington made this transaction so smooth, I felt like a real estate investor and I’m not.
I needed to sell a home in Apex, NC in a short period. This was a rental property with tenants in place but I felt it was time to sell. OK, I also saw the Fed tightening but Dana was recommended to me from another agent, and she followed up immediately! Along with selling the property, I needed help with the transition with the current tenants (who were the best).

Dana, helped me with pricing, connected with the tenants, worked out the details to show the property, and was able to gather multiple offers significantly above ask.
Zero stress.
I ask three things of my agent. Be informative, be responsive, and have integrity. Dana filled all buckets and she’s nice. Can’t rec her enough!

Dana has now helped us buy two houses and is helping us sell one. She is extremely knowledgeable about the process and an excellent negotiator. And when you need anything--someone to haul some junk, install a dryer, weather strip your doors--she knows someone who can help, and she and her team are super responsive. Anytime I email her, she responds within hours (or minutes!).

We were connected with Dana and her team through our realtor in Seattle and we are so thankful to have found her! Buying a house from across the country is no easy feat, but Dana made the process as painless as possible. She is so responsive and answered all of our many questions with expertise and patience. We were motivated to buy quickly so we often asked Dana to visit multiple houses in a day. She took video and talked us through what we were seeing. Her insight was invaluable and put us at ease, despite never having set foot on the property ourselves (!). We cannot recommend Dana enough!

Dana, Franklin, and the whole team at Envite Realty are outstanding. You will not find a more knowledgeable, harder working, and caring set of people in the Triangle — working with them felt like working with friends and family. Our comfort and confidence in the home buying process was of the utmost importance to them. Their local knowledge, recommendations, and organizational process are top notch. I truly could not recommend them enough.
