A Lifetime Native to the Peninsula
I caught the real estate bug early in life during my summers in Atherton assisting my mom, Marie Clough Straube, a leading residential broker on the Peninsula. I settled here on the Peninsula to raise a family and serve my community – the area I know like the back of my hand. My children attended Laurel, Encinal, and Sacred Heart Schools in Atherton.
Dana Rae's Favorites
Timothy Adams Chocolates
539 Bryant Street, Palo Alto.
One of my favorite decadent treats on a chilly winter afternoon is a cup of Valrhona sipping chocolate with whipped cream at Timothy's beautiful store. Timothy's decorative and delicious handmade truffles are one of my favorite gifts to give to chocolate lovers.
Anthem
889 Santa Cruz Avenue, Menlo Park.
I'm obsessed with the luxurious home decor, jewelry, handbags and bath products at Anthem. It's the perfect place to find a unique gift for someone who appreciates stylish and sumptuous home goods.
Romi Boutique
624 Emerson Street, Palo Alto.
In need of retail therapy? Dash over to Romi to shop favorite labels such as Ulla Johnson, ALC, Theory, Rich and Skinny and many more. Whether you're in need of a cute pair of sweats or an adorable sweater, you'll enjoy browsing at Romi.
The Frosted Mocha at Cafe Borrone
1010 El Camino Real, Menlo Park.
The Frosted Mocha at Cafe Borrone has been on the menu since 1979 and is a local legend. Although all of the coffee drinks and cold beverages they offer are delicious, the Frosted Mocha has been my all time favorite treat since my childhood days!
About Dana Rae Stone
A Distinguished Real Estate Transactional Attorney
Prior to becoming a real estate agent, I practiced as a transactional real estate attorney, a journey spanning more than two decades, with the following companies:
- Allen Matkins
- Lillick & Charles
- Spieker Properties
- Sonder Inc.
- Founder/Partner SSL Law Firm LLP, a women-owned law firm in San Francisco
My legal and business acumen uniquely positions me to resolve complex real estate challenges and succeed in negotiations, giving my clients a distinct advantage.
A Talent for Design and Architecture
Having built my own homes in Menlo Park and Atherton, I've refined my keen sense of design and architecture. Partnering with clients on design concepts and remodeling is one of the aspects of my job I find most rewarding.
A Strong Support Team
Backed by my Compass team and marketing staff, I offer the highest level of client care. Whether you're buying your dream home or selling a treasured property, you can count on me to guide you to success.
Outside the Office
Outside of the office, I'm a modern art enthusiast and collector, a member of the SFMOMA Curator's Circle Committee, and a financial literacy mentor for the LEMO Foundation in Redwood City. When not closing deals or volunteering, you'll likely find me hiking local trails, exploring art exhibitions, attending book club or shopping at local farmers’ markets. Reminiscing about my wonderful years volunteering at my kids’ local schools reminds me of the importance of giving back.
I am also a member of:
- The Silicon Valley Association of Realtors®
- The California Association of Realtors®
- The National Association of Realtors®
- The State Bar of California (I maintain my active license as an attorney)
My Promise to You
When we collaborate, I’ll be your real estate resource from the moment we meet until long after close. Meeting my clients’ goals isn’t just my profession, it’s my passion. I look forward to working with you!

Testimonials
"Dana Stone was fantastic to work with in the sale of our home. In a difficult market, she navigated property repairs, staging, marketing (including MLS and luxury auction listing), escrow and financing issues, and ultimately sold the property at above asking price! Thankful we worked with Dana, and for her expertise with all aspects of the sale of our home!"
Adam L.
"I had the pleasure of working with Dana for several years in San Francisco and wholeheartedly recommend her as an exceptional colleague. Her dedication, expertise, and strong work ethic consistently shone through in her contributions to our Legal team. Her ability to collaborate effectively and problem-solve with a positive attitude makes her an invaluable asset to any organization. Apart from her professional expertise, Dana has a personable and warm demeanor that truly makes her a joy to work with."
Amanda G., Managing Counsel, Real Estate
“I’ve been practicing law for 30 years and am currently a Managing Counsel with Sonder Hospitality USA, Inc. Dana Stone was my legal colleague at Sonder for 4 years. Of the many talented attorneys that I’ve worked with in my career (United States Navy - Judge Advocate General’s Corps, Paul Hastings, Pillsbury Winthrop, Picher Nichols & Meeks, Union Bank, Bank of Hope, Douglas Emmett, and Sonder), Dana ranks among the best. She is not only a smart experienced real estate attorney, but she’s also business minded and pragmatic. All of the internal business and client groups appreciated her advice. In fact, Dana was my go to lawyer to discuss complex legal issues that impacted the real estate business of Sonder. In her new role, Dana is definitely a professional I would trust and personally retain if I needed to buy or sell a property."
