    About Dan Gandee

    In the realm of real estate teams, not all are created equal. Period. The Operative Group emerged from the essential need for enhanced transparency, streamlined processes, thorough research, skilled negotiation, and strategic marketing--qualities every client deserves. Drawing from years of experience in brokerage operations, real estate technology, and personal investments, Co-Founders Daniel Gandee and Ed Zulyevic united to establish the "Special Ops of Real Estate," dedicated to elevating the service provided to all Oregonians. Our team comprises highly specialized real estate advisors and professionals, trained to address the unique needs and challenges of each market segment. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach commonly seen in the industry, we tailor our services to meet the distinctive requirements of buyers, sellers, downsizers, relocators, investors, luxury clients, those seeking new construction, probate assistance, and those involved in development. Setting ourselves apart, our in-house real estate marketing team leads the charge with cutting-edge listing strategies and dynamic social media promotions. This exclusive "marketing edge" guarantees increased exposure, views, shares, clicks, calls, showing requests, and, ideally, enticing offers! Join us for a professional and results-driven real estate experience, where our commitment to excellence is not just a promise but a steadfast commitment. Personal Bio: Springfield, Oregon is where I call "home" and I love making memories with my wife and two boys. In my spare time (if there is such a thing in real estate), I enjoy playing guitar, digging in my garden, bombing mountain bike trails, and cooking up new dishes on my BBQ. Board Member: Rental Owners Association of Lane County (ROA) Instructor: Oregon Real Estate Investors Association (OREIA) Co-Host: Top real estate podcast, REvsTECH! with over 250+ Episodes As a top performer in the RMLS, I have over 60+ five star reviews on Google Local Services and a ton of references I can provide! I'm a Certfied Real Estate Marketer (CREM), Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist (CPRES), Certified Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE), Certfied Investment Property Specialist (CIPS), and hold a Bachelor's Degree in Advertising from KSU. My real estate experience includes over 15+ years of personal portfolio investing including single family rentals (1-4 units), multifamily property, manufactured home parks, and commerical real estate. I've also had the incredible opportunity to work in design/build construction, real estate investment trusts (REIT), and serve as the Director of Marketing for one of the top 0.01% real estate teams in the country.

    Larissa was great. Responsive, answered a ton of my "newbie" questions and very communicative. I work nights and she always found time to take my calls during odd hours. Would highly recommend doing business her. The process was fast from finding my dream property to closing, I'd say ~2 weeks. Thanks Again :)

    Corey is an outstanding realtor and individual! He was always available whenever I needed him for any questions or thoughts. He always went way up and beyond to help us out. He is very knowledgeable about the area and the process of buying and selling houses. I would recommend him 110%.

    We found a house on Zillow we liked and Larissa was a buyers agent recommended. She responded immediately and was able to show us the house the same day. She assisted us with two properties. She was always available to help us. Answered questions, gave us suggestions, interacted with lenders and escrow. We would highly recommend her to anyone for their purchasing or selling needs. She has such a great personality, friendly and very thoughtful. Anyone would be fortunate to have her as friend or agent!! Sincerely, Ed and Nancy Read

    George is incredible. He is knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging. As first time home buyers , I dont think we could have made it through the process without George.

    Brett was phenomenal while assisting my husband and I in our first home purchase! He recommended a fabulous lender that helped us quickly cross the finish line in closing on the home and Brett was always available to take a quick call or give me a proper education on all the new things to learn when purchasing a home. He also went above and beyond to help us move and get junk haulers to our house when we were surprised by leftover furniture from the previous owner. Since then, he's been an asset in providing valuable recommendations for local landscapers and other contract items that we have needed along the way! We will definitely be using Brett in the future for any new home or investment property purchases!
