She loves selling lifestyle properties such as lake houses, golf course homes, and vacation homes. She is an Accredited Luxury Home Specialist and is a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist. In 2018, Lake Palestine Real Estate became a subsidiary of Staples Property Group, LLC when Dana opened a South Tyler location at 2344 Dueling Oaks, as well as an office in historic downtown Palestine at 901 N.
