Every year the Wall Street Journal publishes a list that summarizes the top 1,000 real estate professionals in the nation based on the dollar amount of closed transaction volume that year. Lafayette's Dana Green ranked 82 on the list for 2012. She is the only realtor in the top 250 from Lamorinda and the only one from Contra Costa County in the top 125. "No surprise, the list mostly includes top performers in American cities known for high property values - New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco - and their most popular suburbs, as well as resort destinations," said Green on her website. "My 2013 REAL Trends national ranking is really a testament that Lafayette is an amazing place to live and that keeps our real estate market strong." Green represents buyers and sellers in Lamorinda, but the bulk of her business remains in Lafayette, where she's lived all her life.
