As a Walnut Creek native, Dara has come full circle, returning to her hometown to raise her family in the community she has always known and loved. After settling into her own Eichler home, Dara’s passion for mid-century design evolved into a powerhouse real estate career defined by hyper-local expertise and record-breaking results. A consistent member of the prestigious President’s Club Elite, Dara recently achieved the highest price-per-square-foot sale in Rancho San Miguel and holds the title for the highest Eichler sales in Walnut Creek over the past year.
Whether she is leveraging her membership in the Top Agent Network (TAN) to find off-market gems or utilizing her global connections through Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, Dara ensures her clients have a distinct advantage that extends far beyond the East Bay.
Dara’s "secret weapon" is her twenty-year background in elementary education. Her years spent negotiating playground disputes over kickball and four-square rules provided the ultimate training ground for the high-stakes world of real estate. She brings a teacher’s heart to every transaction—prioritizing radical honesty and educating her clients through every complex turn—while remaining a fierce, playground-tested negotiator. For sellers, Dara’s approach is a masterclass in presentation; she collaborates with an elite tier of photographers, stagers, and contractors to ensure every home is showcased to perfection. For buyers, her "superpower" is an uncompromising eye for "good bones" and a strategic mastery of multiple-offer situations, helping her clients put their best foot forward to win in a competitive market.
Beyond the closing table, Dara is a pillar of the Walnut Creek lifestyle she champions. From sponsoring Northgate Athletics and the Rancho San Miguel Swim Team to organizing the annual neighborhood garage sale and city-wide food drives, she is deeply invested in the schools, trails, and vibrant downtown that make this area world-class. Supported by an amazing escrow and lending team, Dara makes the process of buying or listing a home smooth, sophisticated, and—above all—fun. When you work with Dara, you aren't just hiring a Realtor; you’re partnering with a neighbor who has the local pulse and a global reach.
Now, let’s go and have some FUN!
