Review for Member: Dan Alden
ZillowVERIFIEDDan Alden is a wonderful realtor. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the Berkshires real estate market, and he doesnt hesitate to share his thoughts and expertise. We looked for a house for more than a year before we found the right property in the right price range for us. Dan always found time to meet us at a property if we requested a showing, and he offered solid insights into each option without pressuring us to make a decision. We thought after a while that we were wasting his time and feared wed never find the right house and might have to rent instead aEUR" but when the right house and opportunity suddenly appeared, Dan was right there to assist with every aspect of the purchase and closing. We highly recommend Dan Alden to anyone seeking to either purchase or sell a property in the Berkshires.

ZillowVERIFIEDI cannot say enough great things about working with Dan. From day 1 he had our best interests in mind while trying to find us the perfect property. He helped us navigate a tricky transaction and got us across the finish line on our dream home. He truly goes above and beyond what I would expect from a real estate professional.

ZillowVERIFIEDWeve had the pleasure of working with Dan Alden and Berkshire Acres on both sides of the tableaEUR"first as buyers two years ago, and again this year as sellersaEUR"and in both cases the experience was outstanding. Like many sellers, I'm often sensitive to commission costs. In Dans case, I was genuinely happy to pay it. His work more than justified the fee. Dan is fast, efficient, and truly goes the extra mile. His communication is consistently clear and responsive, which made every step of the process feel organized and stress-free. He brings strong local market knowledge of the Berkshires and was a trusted advocate throughout the process, proactively identifying issues and solving problems before they became obstacles. Whether buying or selling, Dan worked closely with us as a true partner, always looking out for our best interests. If youre looking for a broker who combines professionalism, integrity, and hands-on support, I highly recommend Dan and the Berkshire Acres team.

ZillowVERIFIEDDan was wonderful to work with and really helped me with his local knowledge as well as some unexpected hiccups along the way. If I ever have to sell, or buy again, I would absolutely reach out to Dan again without a moments hesitation!

ZillowVERIFIEDDan's local insight and genuine appreciation for the home I'd lived in for 25 years made him an invaluable partner -- he saw what was special and unique about the house, ensuring that the buyer could appreciate those details too. His expertly curated marketing, including a standout photographer, led to a sale that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Dan to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Berkshires!

ZillowVERIFIEDDan Alden helped us find and secure our dream--a cabin in the Berkshires. It's a really unique place and Dan guided us through every single aspect of the purchase, from first visit to negotiation to inspection through to closing. He was constantly available, by text message, phone and email, and adeptly fielded many, many questions. Dan's knowledge of the Berkshires and the real estate market here is extensive, and this extends to a wide network of friends and colleagues that he can recommend for almost every need, from finding an attorney to an inspector, to a bank mortgage, to practicalities like gutter companies. We came to really trust Dan's recommendations because whoever he recommended turned out to be professional, reasonably priced, and exactly what we were looking for. Because of Dan's chain of recommendations we got a much better mortgage rate through a local bank, which we didn't realize was possible. When we had a heating issue come up soon after closing, which is inevitable in an older place, and we couldn't find anyone to come out at short notice, Dan immediately called an HVAC person he knows well and the problem got fixed immediately: This was a kindness, as Dan's obligations to us were already completed, and yet it wasn't a surprise as Dan always went above and beyond for us as clients. Dan's approach to the complexities of real estate is to stay open, in other words, he really listens to his clients. He shared our vision, too, which was deeply impressive in a tight market. It was obvious that he found joy, too, in seeing us get close to exactly what we wanted. Dan takes great satisfaction in his work; it's not just a job for him but a calling, something he loves doing. We couldn't be happier with our cabin, it's a dream come true. Overall, we loved working with Dan and can't recommend him highly enough.

ZillowVERIFIEDA friend recommended Dan Alden after she bought land he found for her prefab house. She said he had astonishing knowledge (of the Berkshires, of how houses are built, of why land is good or bad); he was totally honest and a lovely man we'd like dealing with. YES, YES, YES! Dan found us the wonderful house we just bought. He understands what his client is looking for and doesn't waste time showing you things you'll hate. We are grateful for his kindness, thorough knowledge of how a house is built and maintained, negotiation skills, and good spirit. We recommend him without hesitation.

ZillowVERIFIEDDaniel was professional, timely, communicative and knowledgeable from day one. Our family was selling a life-long vacation home so it was very emotional for us. Dan was patient and kind, while simultaneously working tirelessly to get the house sold to the right buyer, which he accomplished in 90 days. He made the process as smooth and painless as possible.

ZillowVERIFIEDVery pleased with the service provided by Dan. Everything was taken care of in a quick efficient manner. He knew we needed the sale to happen quickly. Once we had a signed contract Dan was quick to get the paperwork and inspections promptly taken care of. All went so smooth and we couldnt be happier. Would highly recommend Dan for your next real estate transaction.

ZillowVERIFIEDDan is an excellent member of your home-search team! He is personalable, patient, funny, and knows Berkshire county exceptionally well. He is not only great at finding properties that meet your home-buying goals but also has the skill to suggest something you might not have considered prior. Wouldn't think of working with anyone else but Dan in the future!

ZillowVERIFIEDDan is a true gem. Though he did not represent us as a buyer's agent, we found him to be reliable, honest, straightforward, and lovely to work with. He has numerous contacts throughout the region, and we were pleased to see that his recommendations for local banks, insurers, etc. were well-vetted and came independently recommended. Finally, he continually made himself available for questions and conversations, and we appreciated his insight.

ZillowVERIFIEDDan and I disagreed on listing price, so BEFORE we actually chose one - we listened to each other. We were spot on.HIs ability to synthesize my thoughts and his observations about my home / landscape led to an appropriate and very quick close, at a satisfactory price for all. His use of photography and short descriptors in the web video is impressive. I'd hire him as a copywriter any day.

ZillowVERIFIEDBalancing a life in Florida with a home in the beautiful Berkshire Mts. ultimately became impossible. I had to make the very arduous &emotional decision to sell "The Sanctuary. I thought of Dan Alden and his real estate services from meeting him a decade before andremembering him to be a kind, present, conscious, trust worthy man of both high intentionality and high integrity. Once the decision to sell was made, with the guidance, education, patience and compassion of Dan, a plan was put into motion. Not only is Dan "a man of his word" ( a rare find these days), his real estate services covered the most gorgeous multi-media marketing campaign I had ever seen. The photo art, language, and aerial views, mixed with technology took my breath away. (I would have bought this house.) His professional contacts, who also share Dan's impeccable business traits and high skill levels, took care of the packing up and moving of all my goods, the inspection and protective equipment the house required and all other needs I (and the house) had, My home sold in 48 hours to exactly the people I would have chosen, at exactly the right price with no complications at closing. Although I will miss having a home in the beautiful Berkshires, the deep roots of belonging will always be with the people who reside and work there. Dan not only met my memory of who he was (a decade ago); he exceeded my expectations. Dan Alden and his Real Estate Services (A.C.R.E.S.) made the sale of my home a pleasurable, meaningful experience, and hopefully, the friendship we forged in the process will continue onward.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe worked with Dan to purchase a home in the Berkshires, only a few weeks ago. The Berkshire market is extremely dynamic right now, but with Dans expertise, we were able to find the perfect home for our family! Dan is a consummate professional, listens well to your needs, and is incredibly responsive. We did not live in the area while looking, but he sent possibilities regularly, guided us through the entire buying process, and went above and beyond with any questions we had.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy family and I recently purchased a second home in the Berkshires after a few years of visiting the area occasionally on weekends. From the first early visits till we finally made the decision to purchase, Dan was an exceptional agent, patient with first-time buyers in the area and with a wide knowledge of the market and great enthusiasm for the area. He gave us excellent guidance and advice that ensured a smooth closing, and was always generous with tips on hiring vendors, local services and nearby attractions. I recommend him without reservation.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe recently purchased a weekend home in the area and Dan was such a pleasure to work with. He was patient, knowledgeable, thoughtful and responsive, and we deeply appreciated his professionalism. While he represented both the buyers and sellers in this transaction, we found him to be fair, honest and trustworthy. He answered all of our questions, was timely in getting replies from the sellers and gave us all of the information we needed about the area. He immediately understood our needs and requirements, and he genuinely wanted to find the right home for our family. We truly enjoyed working with Dan and highly recommend him!

ZillowVERIFIEDI sold my weekend home with Dan. I cannot say enough about how great my experience with him was. He is professional, responsive, thoughtful, helpful, knowledgeable...above all, he is human. He understand that selling this property was an emotional experience for me and I appreciated how much care and attention he gave me and the house throughout the process. Furthermore, being far away during the process, I was really appreciative of all the steps Dan handled for me since I was not local. Strongly recommend working with him!

ZillowVERIFIEDIt was a lucky day when I met Dan Alden. After I met with Dan I was already impressed with his knowledge and professional and polite personality. Our family had a family house we were selling. I live in another region and was unfamiliar with the area comps. Dan used all his expertise to guide me during the process. Dan is generous with his time making sure he is available to complete all details of a sale. He kept me informed of all aspects of the sale and was always easy to contact. I believe Dan helped me negotiate the best deal available. I would advise anyone who is seeking a pleasant professional to partner with Dan Alden for any real estate transactions.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe first met Dan when we were buying a home in 2010 and he was the seller's agent. We were immediately impressed with his honesty, his expertise, his local knowledge and his sense of humor. So when it came time for us to consider selling or renting our property we knew immediately who we would call. We met with Dan and discussed the pros and cons of selling or renting in the current market. About ten days later, Dan called and said if we were interested in renting he knew someone who would make an excellent tenant. Needless to say, we did and he was right! We then turned to Dan to work with us to find a home in Columbia County, NY. We closed on our new home two weeks ago. Needless to say, there is no other realtor we would trust or enjoy working with more than Dan Alden.

ZillowVERIFIEDIt was a joy to work with Dan. He is so calm and easy going. He has integrity and is very honest. I enjoyed working with Dan especially because he did not oversell and over describe every property. He respected me and gave me space to look around without the accompanied sales pitch. Everything was so smooth and easy. If you want a awesome experience connect with Dan!

Review for Member: Dan Alden
ZillowVERIFIEDWe met Dan through a tour of two Hudson Valley properties in New York, one in Ancramdale and the one we eventually purchased (in Chatham). Within minutes of meeting him, Dan was an advocate and an asset; he carefully toured these two properties with us (conducting introductory inspections in the process), and was extremely diligent and respectful in terms of gathering our thoughts about the properties and pointing out his own opinions (which were extremely valuable to us as first-time home buyers). By the end of our first day with him, Dan completely understood the type of property we were looking for, and was sympathetic to our desire to move on a relatively quick timeline. Once we centered in on our property in Chatham, NY, Dan continued to be extremely responsive and thorough, and maintained his candid and approachable demeanor. Throughout the ensuing purchase, he attended our 8-hour home inspection, led our negotiation, and oversaw the transfer of all documents/correspondence between us and the sellers. Again, his expertise/advice were invaluable to us as first-time buyers (but would obviously also be valuable to experienced buyers), and he was always the first person we wanted to consult with at every point during the process. I couldn't recommend Dan more highly for his services. We were endlessly impressed with his professionalism and follow-through, and felt incredibly lucky we ended up getting to work with him.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe found Dan to be receptive to our suggestions and found his evaluation of the property to be very close to ours. He pointed out aspects of the house that he thought should be brought out in showing to potential buyers. His knowledge was such that it made it easy to work with him throughout the period the house was on the market. We would always be ready to recommend Dan to any of our acquaintances if they were in the market to sell their home.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe really enjoyed working with Dan! It had been our dream for years to move to the Berkshires. Since we were unfamiliar with many of the nuances of New England homes, Dan helped us learn what to look for and understand what we saw. We traipsed all over Berkshire county with Dan, and we could tell that He was committed to finding a home that made us happy. He is well-versed, well-respected and well-known. Thank you, Dan, for helping us realize our dream!

ZillowVERIFIEDDan proves that Soetheby's does not mean elite buyers only. As an architectural historian and preservation consultant and I am no stranger to buying and selling real estate. Dan Alden is smart, young, and has enough edge to be interesting. He navigated those high emotional times with practical good sense. When we needed advice he listened and acted he gave it promptly. Thanks to Dan I have my dream home.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe contracted with Dan and his agency to help us find a buyer for our vacation home in what we realized had a lot of competition in a slow selling market. Dan offered sound advice to us and showed the house frequently. He provided feedback from potential buyers each time he showed the house. Dan matched the property to qualified buyers and professionally initiated and guided the inevitable negotiations. He was very responsive to our requests for information regarding home, fire and septic inspections. With his in depth knowledge of the area, local regulations and requirements, Dan was able to guide the sale of our home to a successful and friendly closing. We highly recommend him.

ZillowVERIFIEDHe is an expert about the local area real estate market. Dan handled everything professionally. Even my impatience. Dan was "assigned" to us from another agent that was in transition. I was very displeased with the delay, no fault of Dan's at all. So when he got on the case it was an uphill climb to win me over. Again, he handled everything efficiently and professionally.
