ZillowVERIFIEDWe could not have been more pleased with Dan throughout the entire process. Dan was not only extremely knowledgeable and professional, but he was also a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Like many real estate transactions, ours was not without its minor issues, but Dan handled every issue that arose with the utmost patience, thoroughness, and professionalism. We were continually impressed by how Dan was able to smooth things over between all parties, even when emotions ran high. He helped us maintain a sense of calm, always kept us focused on our ultimate goals, and helped guide us through the process so it could progress as seamlessly as possible.Throughout the entire process, it truly felt like Dan had our best interest at heart while at the same time striving to be fair to all parties, which we very much appreciated. Cashiers is a small town, and buyers and sellers often become members of the same community, neighbors, and even friends. We appreciated that while he fervently represented us as sellers, he strove to complete the transaction while maintaining civility, graciousness, and integrity.Dan also possessed an acute attention to detail that proved to be extremely helpful and valuable throughout the entire process. He noticed the little details, which oftentimes are actually extremely important details. Dan is one of those rare professionals who can focus on the big picture and the ultimate goal, but who also pays attention to the details that can easily turn into deal breakers or deal makers.We chose Dan to represent us because he had an in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market and was extremely professional, but what we learned about Dan throughout the process was that he was driven to do the best job he could for us and that we could trust him. His work ethic, motivation, and personal integrity shined through.We have bought and sold many homes, vacation homes, and rental properties over the years, and I think it is a rarity to walk away from a real estate transaction and believe your agent did the best they could for you. We truly believe this of Dan.And if I have not said enough about Dan, Ill end with this final note: We will soon be helping my mother look for property in the area, and Dan is the first person we are going to call.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe are so lucky that Dan Allen was our realtor, especially in this crazy market! Dan is so patient and never put any pressure on us, even though it took us over a year to find the right house. In fact, he was intuitive enough that when we were debating properties he would tell us "I know we can find a better home for you than this" and spoke with us about his thoughts from an investment/resale perspective down the road as well. He genuinely wanted to help us find the best place, not just make a sale. I cannot tell you how much we appreciate his patience and local knowledge of the market and Cashers/Sapphire area. We were constantly driving up from Atlanta to look at properties and not only was Dan incredibly accommodating, but over time he got to know us well enough to tell us if it was worthwhile for us to make the drive (he was always right!). Thank you so much for your help navigating this market during a tricky time! We are so excited about our new home. We hope to have the opportunity to work together again in the future.

ZillowVERIFIEDDan was a true partner throughout our search. He brings so much to the table, and really helped us navigate a competitive market. While he has many attributes, the word trust is at the top of the list for us. We always felt he was being fair, objective, and honest with us (and with potential sellers), and he quickly gained our confidence and our trust. We found the right home and greatly appreciate Dan and his team for their solid guidance throughout the process.

ZillowVERIFIEDI contacted Dan to evaluate my options for selling my cabin in Cashiers, NC. I live in Florida which adds to the anxiety of handling a transaction long distance. Dan reviewed my possibilities, offered suggestions, & helped me choose my path. He handled everything from listing to closing. My experience was flawless! Well done & many thanks.

ZillowVERIFIEDI had inherited property (along with my brother) and had tried to sell it myself and got nowhere. Dan was the answer! He was wonderful to work with - explained everything in a way I could understand, listened to me, kept in touch along the way, and followed up after the closing. Dan would be a great choice, whether buying or selling! None better! Thanks, Dan!!D. Lugo, Cashiers, NC

ZillowVERIFIEDIf you are buying or selling in the Highlands/Cashiers area do yourself a favor and call Dan. Dan listed and sold our house recently and we couldn't be happier. Dan had the foresight to see where the market was going and priced the house accordingly. It sold quickly and Dan and his staff were very helpful throughout the entire process.

ZillowVERIFIEDDan was patient. Dan was kind. Dan was optimistic. Dan was knowledgeable. Dan was responsive. Our house was certainly not in the upper echelon of deals that Dan has worked this year, but he made us feel like we were always top of mind - and he did an excellent job getting us to the finish line. If you are considering using Dan to help you purchase/sell, feel free to contact me as a resource.

ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Dan and Kathryn to find our perfect mountain cabin was a great experience. They both went above and beyond from day 1 until after closing to coordinate the many things involved with the purchase, inspections, negotiations, and repairs of our adored mountain cabin. Especially since our year round residence is 5 hours away. My husband and I highly recommend Dan Allen and would definitely use him again!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have bought many properties over the years and Dan was far and away our best realtor. He is incredibly honest and showed amazing integrity throughout. Our eventual purchase took 6 different trips to the area and each time he had found us great options to view. It was a fun process because he's such a honest and nice guy to work with.

ZillowVERIFIEDI own and manage several commercial and residential properties in different states. And by far Dan is the most experienced real estate professional Ive dealt with up to this point in time. His knowledge of the market in the areas around Highlands and cashiers Jackson Macon in Transylvania countyaEUR~s along with the zoning expertise was an invaluable asset.

ZillowVERIFIEDI recently purchased a property on the east side of Lake Glenville and could not of closed the deal without the help of Dan. I live out of state which made it difficult for me to meet with inspectors, contractors, etc. Dan stepped in and lined up meetings, met numerous contractors at the property, suggested certain things be inspected that I would not have thought of, etc... He provided info for many of his contacts to help with different projects. I felt that Dan really put our interest above everything else and wanted to ensure that we were comfortable with the purchase. Thanks Dan!

ZillowVERIFIEDDan and Kathryn just sold our house on Lake Glenville and did an excellent job. They knew the local marketplace, were very responsive and went the extra mile. Our house was older so it needed several updates and Dan was able to work through this process with everyone successfully. Carey Phelps

ZillowVERIFIEDDan is the consummate professional agent. He, Kathryn, and the entire Silver Creek Real Estate team are amazing. Before listing the home, I spent several hours with Dan discussing the market, his marketing plan and the comps in my area. I knew that my home was in good hands when all of the agents in the Silver Creek office attended the agent caravan. As it turns out, most of the showings were by agents in the Silver Creek office. Silver Creek's internet presence, the fabulous pictures, the virtual tour, the NC Living magazine, etc. are all far above other real estate offices in the area. In my opinion, the Silver Creek website is the best real estate website that I have used. When Dan and I discussed the original listing price, he agreed with my price of $650,000 (after reviewing other comparable solds and comparable listings in the area). As it turns out the home was sold by an agent in Dan's office at full listing price! I couldn't be happier. I have already recommended Dan Allen to other friends in the area.

ZillowVERIFIEDDan really went the extra mile to keep our land deal moving forward. As it was our first land purchase coupled with the fact that we are out of state buyers Dans expertise and knowledge throughout the process helped immensely. This was a very lengthy and complicated closing and my wife and I are very greatful for Dans perseverance and insight, without which this deal probably wouldnt have happened.I would absolutely use him again.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I met Dan Allen and his assistant Kathryn over coffee at my son's home in Cashiers, NC, which Dan had sold to my son. The informal conversation provided our first glimpse of Dan as very knowledgeable about the area as well as thoroughly professional, while also personable and approachable. He learned from us just what we cherished about our cabin and property in a cove; in short, we are hikers, tubers, explorers, and flower, tree, and and bird observers. With this understanding, Dan showed and then sold our home to a couple who could envision the same hobbies for themselves. He and Kathryn expedited the sale in less than three months with excellent up-to-the-minute communication back and forth among all parties. Dan's professionalism throughout the process provided an optimism that was the order of the day.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were a retired couple looking to move to the NC Cashiers area, desiring a lakefront property. We serendipitiosly met Dan thru Silver Creek website when exploring houses. When inquiring about properties Dan responded immediately with information that helped us narrow our search and not waste time as we were in Atlanta. On our third time up to the area we found the perfect house on the lake and Dan was instrumental in helping us navigate the process as we had not bought or sold in 30 years! Things have changed!! The characteristics we most appreciated were: responsiveness, honesty, upfront with pros and cons , not pussyfooting around, good negotiation skills. In addition, Dan was able to intuit after showing a few houses just what our aEUR~style was, again, not wasting time. If you are planning on buying or selling a house in the NC mountains you could NOT find a better agent to help you. And in addition, just closing is not the end of the relationship. He has been crucial in introducing us to servicemen, housekeeping, landscapers.....all the people one needs to know when moving to a completely new area. I sincerely recommend Dan Allen for your real estate needs. Cher and Chris Riddell

ZillowVERIFIEDDan's experience, knowledge and willingness to help with the purchase of our property was invaluable. He went above and beyond all of our expectations, coordinating a number of inspections, conducting research, interfacing with the County, pulling in his own resources...the list goes on. He is knowledgable about the area, quick to respond, and honest about his opinions. We have worked with many Realtors before and none came close to the level of service Dan provided. We would recommend him without any reservation.

Review for Member: Dan Allen
ZillowVERIFIEDDan has an innate ability to recognize a 'unique' properties potential and match same with a buyer. (In depth knowledge of the 2nd home/vacation home market was critical to our situation.)He possesses the patience to guide the seller through what can be an aggravating sales cycle. (This is especially true in a state like NC where the buyer seems to have the advantage.)Always responsive, Dan pursued all opportunities. This determination resulted in the sale. This experience was, by far, the best we've had in the sale/purchase of more than 15 properties over the years. (And this in what has proven to be a challenging market and less than ideal point in the cycle.)We recommended Dan Allen all throughout the listing. We continue to recommend him to anyone that is looking for a positive, successful sales experience.

In all, I would recommend Dan as an agent.

Review for Member: Dan Allen
ZillowVERIFIEDAfter failing to find a rental property, I decided to use my VA Loan benefit to look for a home to buy. I emailed Dan Allen on a Friday afternoon, the only broker I called because of his excellent reputation, relayed to him my specific needs--living space all on one level with very accessible entrance into the property. It is necessary to understand how rare it is in the Blue Ridge Mountains to find a home with those qualifications. On Saturday, Dan emailed a current list of possible properties, one of which seemed perfect. We looked at the property the following Tuesday, loved it, and an offer was made which was promptly accepted! Dan worked closely with the lender, VA loans are very tedious, and the seller. He was constantly in touch to keep me apprised of the progress of home inspection, appraisal, etc., and status of the VA loan. It has been a number of years since I owned a home and was mentally prepared for an arduous process, which never happened. Today, I closed on the property and will be moving this coming week, all accomplished in just over 6 weeks. Unheard of! The success of this transaction is due to the diligence and interest of Dan Allen in reaching the successful conclusion we came to. I will be forever grateful to Dan in locating the perfect property to fit my needs and to the attention he gave to me and to the other parties involved in the loan process. Anyone would be very fortunate indeed in having Dan Allen as their real estate professional!
