I am originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, and have been a vacationer on Hilton Head Island since the late '60s.
My career in marketing and communications has spanned 30 years in New York and London — and has now moved on to Real Estate.
Let me put that marketing expertise to work for you! Whether it's finding a special home on Hilton Head, making a savvy investment, or helping you sell a property for the best possible price.
I have the expertise to get the job done!
As a property owner since 1978, I know and love the Island well. My first "island home" was in the Hilton Head Beach Villas next to the old Adventure Inn - before there was a proper supermarket and you could still get lost walking the beach. I've watched the Island evolve and it's still the most beautiful place in the world!
Call me and let's get to work finding that special place in the sun for you!
Dana was a huge help in my search for a condo in Hilton Head. She knows a lot about the older and newer developments in the area and she did a lot of research to help us find something we would love in our price range. She was also very friendly and was a lot of fun to work with. We will use her again.

Great service and attention. Dana is wonderful to work with, knowledgeable, and very responsive. We were casually looking for a villa/condo to buy, but Dana listened to our needs and wish list and found the perfect condo. Only because of her quick follow-up with our bid, we were able to secure our dream home. We would highly recommend Dana for her knowledge and professionalism.

We worked with Dana Advocaat this past winter. It was a great experience. She is very knowledgeable about the area and the properties that are on the market. Also extremely important, was her knowledge of the other realtors, which really came in handy during negotiations, where she was tenacious. Dana's excellent service and expertise continued throughout the closing process. Dana worked very hard for us and made us feel as if we were her only clients. I would highly recommend her. We love our new home and are very grateful to Dana for finding us this home.

She was extremely conscientious and hard-working. She and her husband both spent extra time prepping the house for sale. After it was under contract she arranged for and supervised the contracting needed after the home inspection. We definitely recommend her highly.

Dana was the listing agent for the sale of our Villa on Hilton Head Island. She actively marketed the unit in a variety of media, both locally and nationally, and held numerous open houses for buyers and Realtors. Throughout the process, Dana was readily available to us via email or phone. Having been a Realtor myself, getting an agent who is responsive and a good communicator was key and Dana was just that. She was never unavailable. She sold our Villa and stood by us through a particularly contentious closing. I recommend Dana Kindel Advocaat without reservation and in the strongest terms. Bill Duvall

From the moment we first met Dana, she listened intently to what our wants and needs were. Undaunted by our long list of "must-haves", Dana relentlessly pursued the mission of finding us our dream house. She succeeded and now we are settling in to a house we happily call home! Dana has a very positive can-do attitude and eagerly accesses resources for us even after the sale. She seems to have solutions to any concerns that we may have. We highly recommend Dana and value her professionalism.
With a focus on exceptional service, strong relationships, and local expertise,
Dana ensures that each step of your real estate journey is smooth, rewarding, and successful.
