Dana Cappiello, Neighbor

I am also a certified green Realtor and very knowledgeable regarding energy issues, I know the Silicon Valley marketplace and and aggressive in finding off the market properties in times of low inventory.

I have lived in both Portola Valley, Woodside and Atherton for over 27 years; a single mother of two sons, Derek and Dylan, I am also an avid equestrian and a member of the Woodside Trails Committee. I am knowledgeable about country and horse properties and understands the regulations and capacities of building and remodeling in my markets’ communities.

In my past life, I was a clothing designer prior to becoming a real estate agent and owned my own design firm for nearly twenty years, Dax & Coe. I have designed clothing for Adidas, Macys,Saks Fifth Avenue, Target and numerous retailers throughout the US and Canada. This design ability is helpful in real estate. I can quickly determine a clients' style and find the perfect home for them.

My design business have been invaluable in terms of my negotiating skills, attention to detail and being able to work with a wide variety of people.

I have a heart for causes: co-founder of the Until There's a Cure Foundation, which distributes the AIDS bracelet and has raised millions for AIDS prevention, education and vaccine development. This grassroots organization teamed up with the San Francisco Giants to hold the first ever AIDS awareness event by a major sports franchise. The foundation, with my direction, also coordinated events throughout the country with other teams, singers and celebrities. The foundation has had a major impact on the AIDS community and was the initial funder for two important AIDS vaccine foundations, the International Aids Vaccine Initiative and the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition, both of which are now funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
