    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.

    Brett was great - knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful, and responsive. I learned a lot from him throughout this process & he was always quick to advocate for us. Definitely helped to make buying our first house a positive experience.

    Seth was very professional and knowledgeable throughout the process. As well as caring and patient which we appreciate so much. There are a lot of nerves and questions when buying a home especially for first timers. But, Seth was readily available to answer questions or get the answers for us. We are beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him. We also would recommend him to anyone seeking a agent.

    Seek no further, she is THE only realtor you'll ever need and everything you WANT in a realtor. Let me tell you, I am not the easiest person to deal with and a harsh critic but Larissa blew me away with how good she is at her job. I was actually working with another realtor for Oregon and set up an appointment with Larissa last minute when my realtor was unavailable. Sometimes one door closes and another door opens and that door just happens to be to the grand showcase. I've also dealt with realtors in another state and she was above and beyond them as well. She was accommodating, professional, communicative, and knowledgeable leagues beyond others in her profession! She is also so resourceful for everything you need in home buying even after the sale. I really can't recommend her enough! She is the only person i will use for my future home purchases!

    Larissa is wonderful! As a first time home buyer with 0 experience, she patiently walked me through the entire process and was very supportive. Larissa was also always reachable and communicative, which is so helpful specially when you're hoping to go through the process without much lag. Highly recommend working with her!

    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 :)
