About Alana Benjamin

Alana was born and raised in Port Washington. This is a special place for her and the place she chose to live and raise her own family. After college, Alana spent three years at Law School in Brooklyn. She lived on the Upper East Side for many years with her husband; they were convinced that they would never leave the city. When space got tight and one kid turned into two (and later three!) they knew that the place they wanted to call home was Port Washington. Real estate was ever-present in her home growing up. Alana's mother, Nava Mitnick, was a top producer for over 20 years. Including being named by the Wall Street Journal among the top 250 real estate brokers nationwide. Real estate is part of her DNA, going to open houses; helping with staging, and witnessing tough and skilled negotiations. With her life now full time in Port Washington, Alana was lucky enough to spend several years working together with her mom to leverage her unparalleled expertise. Over these years Alana developed an architectural appreciation and deep knowledge of the market, coupled with her experience working in negotiations and marketing. She truly loves her job, and it was such a natural way to return to the town she loved. Plus, she finds the opportunity to work with families like her own making their first move, or relocating, to be an extra special bonus. It has been so wonderful for her to become so embedded in this amazing community. Her family enjoys all that Port Washington has to offer from the remarkable waterfront, sunsets, playgrounds, sports, the farmers market, and endless summer and winter fun. It is truly a special place to call home.

We had a fantastic experience working with Alana. We were looking for a home in Port Washington for many years, and Alana was incredibly patient and helpful throughout the entire process. She never pressured us to make a decision and stuck with us until we found the right fit. Her guidance was insightful, helping us navigate the competitive market. If you are looking for a dedicated agent who truly cares about their clients, we highly recommend Alana.

Alana helped us find our home and was extremely patient and consultative during our search as first time buyers. She took the time to understand our needs and with her local expertise, found us our dream home in our dream neighborhood. Would absolutely (and have!) recommend Alana to friends!

We cannot recommend Alana highly enough! She helped us find and purchase our home, amidst a very challenging market for buyers. She was extremely patient, knowledgeable and responsive, which we found particularly helpful as first-time home buyers. She really knows the ins and outs of the Port Washington home market, and had great recommendations and guidance for us throughout the process. We are so grateful for all of her help and expertise!

Alana gets it done. She is all in from the moment you ask her to be your agent and will do anything to get you the best deal for your home. She is full of ideas to make your home its very best and most appealing to buyers, from staging to marketing. With Alana leading the way we received 6 offers over list within 48 hrs of the open house. We cannot recommend Alana enough.

We would highly recommend Alana - she is amazing! She took the time to show us around Port Washington so we understood all areas and to see as many houses as needed until we found our dream home. She was always flexible and honest and enjoyable to work with. She is a true expert and offers excellent advise without any pressure. Youll be in the best hands with her!
