    Dan was great! As a first time home buyer I had a lot of questions. He was there to help answer all of them, and he always made me feel like I was his most important client. He made what can be an overwhelming experience feel very comfortable. The house I bought didnt even go to market, but Dan found it! There were times I didnt feel like Id ever find the right house for me. But, in the end he helped find and purchase my dream home. I have no regrets and will be in Dans debt forever! Dan, youre the man!!

    Dan helped us sell our home in 2025. He really knows property valuations in the local market and helped us get an excellent deal on the sale of our home. Dan is super responsive to texts/emails and walked us through the sale and closing process without any issues. I really enjoyed working with Dan because he was very transparent from start to finish.

    Dan was great to work with. He's professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. We determined the sell price together so I could get what I wanted for the house. I signed the papers with him, and the house was sold five days later. Incredible.

    Dan helped me navigate through a sale for my mom. I had no idea what I was doing and he explained in detail and was always available when I needed help understanding the process. I would definitely recommend him.
