We Are Your Local Real Estate Connection

For many people life events trigger a change in their home. This could be buying a first home, marriage, having or adopting children, children moving out of the home, downsizing for easy care in older years, moving to assisted living or even death. As we age and are no longer able to support our needs in our home, often this will lead to a stressful decision for family and loved ones when no plan exists. Sadly, many families react to these changes, rather than planning accordingly. Through our proven process, we take a proactive approach which will reduce family stress, simply your life and help you achieve your Real Estate and Wealth goals.

KW Real Estate Planners

A Real Estate Planner is a licensed real estate agent who is certified and has the knowledge, training and experience to compassionately guide a real estate owner in ways to create a legacy to leave to your children and grandchildren, minimize taxes and facilitate goals of the family and beyond. You don’t have to have millions of dollars to create a plan. We are here to help.

Why Choose The Burk Team?

Do you already know a Real Estate Agent? The answer for most people is Yes. Often there is a family member or close friend who has a real estate license, or even someone you have used in the past. What we often see is people focusing on the current need to buy or sell their home and missing out on how the purchase or sale fits into their long-term real estate goals and reacting later in life. As a Keller Williams (KW) Real Estate planner, our approach to real estate is different. While a Real Estate Agent will focus on finishing the current transaction a Real Estate Planner helps ensure your current purchase or sale and future decisions you make throughout your lifetime help to achieve your long-term real estate goals. Just like your Financial Planner we help plan the real estate side.

What if something goes wrong and you end up not spending the rest of your life with this stack of brick and mortar you're lusting after? No matter how careful you are, some deal killers are unavoidable. Others, however, are preventable, so pay heed if you hope to keep your deal alive. 1. Don't Mess with Your Mortgage Preapproval A common reason for a real estate deal to fall apart is that many homebuyers don't fully understand the mortgage process.

1 word FANTASTIC! Dana and Alan were awesome. Dana helped us sell our 1st house that we had outgrown and were looking to leave because of the area. It took a little while, 6 months, but we finally found our place. There were several times I wanted to just throw in the towel, and Dana and Alan were so encouraging and informative. Selling was easy, but buying was up and …

-Rachel Lyn Rogers, Client

I first contacted Alan Burk in December 2016 about relocating to Salem. Over the next six years, Alan was very patient with me in many ways. He taught me about Oregon real estate, details one needs to know when building outside of city services, and so much more! I greatly appreciate Alan’s patience because it took years to finally find, not one but two, properties to …

-Ruth Fee Lemmon, Client

The Burk team was extremely helpful in navigating the process of purchasing a home. They laid out step by step what to expect, they helped communicate and solve problems with all the various entities involved. They were patient as it took us a long time to find the house and they were exceptional in getting us the deal in such a competitive market. I would certainly …

-Jason Holt, Client

Dana and her team are top notch. Her years of experience and her impeccable work ethic make working with her an absolute pleasure. I highly recommend Dana for anything to do with Real Estate.

-Michael Bredimus, Client

Hi, I'm Dana Burk. My husband Alan and I have been helping our friends and clients buy and sell real estate in Salem Oregon since 2003.

Alan was a contractor in his previous career and lends that view on homes when working with our home buyers.

Dana was an industrial engineer and manager prior to real estate and brings strong negotiating and organization skills to the table.

Together we bring a wealth of knowledge to help you with your real estate needs.

We have a special heart for first time buyers and teach a home buying class with our favorite lending partner. We enjoy helping our clients and friends as they transition through life. We help with your real estate needs from that first house, to a growing family, to children going off to college, to moving to a smaller home or even into assisted living.

Having a mom with dementia has given me a passion for our seniors. We have many services to help them as they age and we are Senior Relocation Specialists. We are partnered with a senior move manager and an organizer that can help you go through your things and de-clutter.

We love real estate and this beautiful area that we call home. I am a sixth generation Oregonian and think we have the best of everything in this state. We have the Pacific coast where we love to fish, clam and crab. We have the beautiful Willamette Valley that can grow just about anything from berries to vegetables, flowers, and lots of trees and fruit trees. We can ski and play in the Cascade mountains. We have high desert and the beautiful Columbia River. I think my favorite place where I grew up is Joseph Oregon. The Alps of Oregon. We have hundreds of parks and lots of lakes to fish and camp.
