We were relocating from Buffalo to Boston and knew almost nothing about the city. We reached out to Mario six months before the move, and he was so accommodating from our very first conversation. When we finally confirmed our moving date with only two weeks notice, he booked 17 condo appointments in two days. He drove us around, showed us Boston, and went to every appointment and viewing with us, all while keeping up with our very dynamic, eccentric needs. We werent the easiest pair to find a home for, but Mario was patient and made the whole experience feel easy. He negotiated our offer like a true professional and stayed with us through closing. Even afterward, he kept checking in to make sure we were settled. What could have been a very stressful couple of months was so much better because of him. Mario went well beyond what we would ever expect from a realtor, and we could not be more grateful. We would recommend him without hesitation.
Dan is truly an amazing real estate agent, and we could not have asked for a better partner to guide us through buying our first home. From our very first meeting to closing day, Dan was exceptionally patient, thorough, and knowledgeable. As first-time buyers, we loved how clearly he explained every detail and brought real data and math to the table to help us analyze our options and choose the best path forward. Even with a tight timeline and a rapid closing date, we always felt completely confident in his hands. He was a relentless advocate for our best interests and kept every step of the process clear, prompt, and on schedule. Beyond the purchase itself, Dan went above and beyond by connecting us with trusted local vendors and contractors to help bring our vision for the house to life. His expertise turned what could have been a high-stress experience into a seamless, exciting journey. Thanks to Dan, we are in our dream home, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated, caring agent!
I have many friends who recommend realtors, but I cannot imagine trusting this crucial, complicated, challenging process to anyone by Dan. He is informed and able to offer comparisons across time, regions and styles of houses. He is patient and able to take in our priorities, even as they change over the process of selling or buying. He is strategic, and knows when to push, when to charm, when to be tactical, in order to best serve his clients. He's incredibly experienced, and we have worked with him over 3, about to be 4 big transactions. I have never regretted deciding to work with Dan, he is also a wonderful human being. He works long and hard, and with his competence and charisma, has a great group of people to whom he can refer us as needed. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Dan is a top-notch realtor and we always felt we were in excellent hands throughout the process of selling our home. He gave us sound advice from beginning to end, communicated promptly, kept us on track, and we were thrilled with the results. I can't recommend him highly enough.
Dan guided us through both the purchase and sale of our Newton home over the past 5 years. His expertise, thoughtfulness, and strategy served us so well in the sale of our home. He helped us get multiple offers and sell over asking price within a few days of being on the market. We were able to rely on Dans considered and reasonable advice in preparing the house for showing, determining pricing, and reviewing offers. We cant recommend Dan more highly!
Dan Gorfinkle is an outstanding real estate agent. He is knowledgeable, professional and, maybe above all, courteous and respectful. He was always available for advice and reassurance. Because of his drive and ability to establish contacts he was able to sell our house even before it was listed thus removing potential anxiety and worry. Dan epitomizes the three "A's" of successful business practice: AFFABILITY AVAILABILITY ABILITY I would not hesitate to recommend Dan unreservedly.
Working with Dan and his team was an outstanding experience from beginning to end. What stood out most was the extraordinary care, patience, and kindness shown to us, including my entire family, throughout the process of selling their home. Dan handled everything with professionalism and sensitivity, making what could have been a very stressful transition feel manageable and smooth. He was responsive, attentive, always available, and made sure we felt comfortable and supported throughout the selling process. Dan, through his network, was able to sell the property pre-market, which made the concomitant move to our new residence significantly easier and less disruptive. The process was efficient, discreet, and extremely well-managed. We highly recommend Dan and his team to anyone looking for not only a skilled real estate professional, but someone who genuinely cares about his clients and their families.
Dan was fantastic throughout our home search and closing process. He truly represented our interests as buyers and gave honest, thoughtful advice every step of the way. He was present at every viewing, took the time to understand what we were looking for, and was incredibly accessible and responsive throughout. Through his network, he helped us find our home that was not publicly available on the market. He has an excellent grasp of the market, and his insight was crucial during negotiations. He also connected us with a great attorney and lender making the process seamless. We are very grateful for Dan and his team, and we look forward to continuing to work with him for any future real estate needs.
Dan was an excellent agent to help us find a home in Needham. He guided us every step of the way and made us feel very comfortable. We are thrilled with the outcome of our home buying process in no small part thanks to Dan.
We couldnt have asked for a better realtor to help us with our move from Dallas to Massachusetts. From start to finish, Dan was incredibly attentive, communicative, and knowledgeable about the market. He took the time to understand how we like to operate, adapted to our style, and was always flexible and responsive throughout the entire process. Buying a home from out of state can be stressful, but he made it feel seamless and manageable. We felt supported, informed, and confident every step of the way. Highly recommended to anyone who wants a competent and highly professional Realtor.
Dan is amazing to work with- knowledgeable, approachable, accessible. Everything he predicted came true. We had a tight timeline with a lot of moving parts and he helped us navigate it magnificently. He was particularly great at managing negotiations. Would definitely work with him again!
Firstly, it was a pleasure working with Dan Gorfinkle as a buyer's agent. He was responsive, timely, accommodating, and kind. His team help me build good relations with mortgage contacts at different banks, the city and also legal solutions when closing on the property. His team was diligent and helped work with all requests, questions and concerns we had, in a timely manner. I would recommend Dan for his very balanced approach of data driven metrics and market subject expertise to put out interests first. I appreciate all the work and would highly recommend Dan.
Our house was a special case as it was at the higher end of the price range for our town (Needham, MA) due to our extensive customizations. This meant that local price/sqft comparisons were somewhat less effective, and we had to sell the house on it's merits and upgrades. Our sale coincided with a downturn in the stock market, high mortgage rates, and significant policy uncertainty. In this difficult environment, Dan Gorfinkle did a thorough job marketing our property. He eventually achieved 2 offers and a good sale price, which in hindsight, is probably close to the best we could have gotten in the environment. Dan is an excellent professional and communicated well throughout the process. Furthermore, he is a person of high integrity. I recommend Dan highly.
Dan sat down with me and came in with a plan. He's a numbers guy with a lot of experience and explained his strategy and justified his specific numbers very well. But he is also an exceptional listener and communicator. His assessment was accurate and the result was very fast sale with multiple bids. Dan was also a very good listener and gave us good advice through a squirrely negotiation with the buyer when this threatened to derail the deal.
I had a fantastic experience working with Dan. From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, always organized, and made sure every detail was taken care of. What stood out most to me was how accessible they were aEUR" no matter what time of day, they responded quickly to questions and provided clear, thoughtful guidance throughout the entire process. They were also someone I felt I could truly trust. Whether it was reviewing offers, negotiating terms, or walking me through paperwork, I always felt they had my best interest at heart. On top of that, they were consistently helpful, going above and beyond to make sure I felt confident and informed every step of the way. If you're looking for a realtor who is reliable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping you make the right decisions, I highly recommend Dan and his team.
Dan was incredibly helpful throughout the entire home-buying process, from the start of our search to closing on our home. He regularly sent us listings, answered our questions and encouraged us when it seemed like we weren't going to find the right house. He's very knowledgeable, easy to work with and, most importantly, friendly and personable. We're so happy with our new home and highly recommend Dan to all prospective buyers!
We relocated from South Carolina to Massachusetts on military orders and had a great experience working with Dan and his team. I came up in May with my mother and toured over 20 homes in 3 days, submitting offers on our top 3 before getting our new home. Dan's associate Mario took us around for 2 days and Dan joined us for 1 as well, so it was truly a team effort. Both Dan and Mario have been responsive, helpful, and knowledgeable throughout this whole process. They made a hectic search so much easier to manage. After closing, they connected us with a contractor to help with painting and other projects. My husband didn't see the home until signing day, but everything went smoothly thanks to their preparation. We never felt like just another client, their approach was always very genuine and honest. Highly recommend, especially for military families!
Dan & Alex have been fantastic to work with. I just closed on my third home in 3 years using Dans services. Need I say more? Would definitely recommend!
Being the first time homebuyer, and having little to no knowledge about investing into real estate was a challenge I had to face. With Dan's knowledge and expertise, I was able to learn more about the buying process. and make the right choices with my first property. Thank you Dan, for all your hard work and teaching. Would absolutely recommend!
You will not find a better buyers agent than Dan. This was my first home purchase and he was incredible every step of the way, from helping me understand what to look for, asking the right questions, supporting me through the decision making process and most importantly, once I knew which home I wanted, he acted right away to make sure I got it. His expertise of the local market and of real estate transactions shone through every step of the way and I never questioned for a moment that I could trust him and that he had my best interests in mind. He was completely transparent throughout the entire process and made sure I knew and understood everything that was happening. He took the time to give me his insights on every single property I even wanted to look at and always gave me 100% of his attention and expertise. There really is no one better to work with than Dan and I am so grateful that I got to work with him. Dont look any further if youre looking for a realtor, Dan really is the only choice.
I just recently went through the home buying process for a second time with the exceptional assistance of Dan and his team, and once again I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the very start to the finish, Dan was there every step of the way, ensuring a smooth and stress-free home-buying experience. Dan took the time and energy to really understand my specific needs and preferences, guided me through the bid process with terrific insights, and was there at each step as we progressed through to closure. Throughout the entire process, Dan maintained clear and consistent communication and was always available to answer questions, provide updates, and offer reassurance, making me feel completely supported and informed. Again, this is the second time I've worked with Dan and his dedication and professionalism have only exceeded my expectations each time. It's a true pleasure to work with him. I wholeheartedly recommend Dan and his team to anyone in need of a reliable, knowledgeable, and customer-first realtor!
Recently sold a one bedroom one bathroom condo with Dans assistance. The condo was listed at $625k and we received and accepted an all cash offer of $680k. The outcome was more than expected. However, of equal value to us was the concern, guidance and empathy Dan provided during the entire process. Dan recommended the renovations we should consider, introduced us to his team of experts, contractors, cleaners and stagers, all who were reliable and provided excellent services. Dan and his team managed the entire project, met all timelines and kept us up to date on progress. We attribute all of this this up front work to a positive result.
Dan was knowledgeable, friendly and willing to go the extra mile. He gave incredible insights on the various towns. He provided information about the schools, traffic and daily conveniences which was critical to our decision making. He did the impossible by being able to show us a home with little notice, difficulty reaching the sellers agent and despite being on the other end of town. It turned out to be our forever home. Cant recommend him and his team highly enough!
I recently relocated from New York to Massachusetts for work, and Dan made the transition seamless. His attentive listening and responsiveness ensured that every aspect of the process was handled smoothly. Dan's expertise and commitment to managing the sale with ease and his availability when troubleshooting was necessary were truly appreciated. Working with him was a pleasure, and I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a stress-free relocation experience.
As first time home buyers, we were clueless but Dan was very helpful. He walked us through the process and answered all our questions. I would recommend working with Dan to anyone.
What makes Dan exceptional? Specifically, Dan's vast network with builders, contractors, and other realtors gave us a HUGE advantage of identifying properties prior them being listed on the market. Dan's longstanding relationships with other realtors was a HUGE competitive advantage in seeing properties prior to other buyers which gave us valuable insight into what offer the seller would happily accept. Dan's reputation proceeded himself as he has done hundreds deals with other relators which benefited us vastly with other realtors in terms of negotiations ("you scratch my back I'll scratch yours"). Dan's emotional intelligence was high as he can recognize his clients emotions, backgrounds, family dynamics and stressors. Dan's experience and personal attributes naturally enables him to easy his client's mind ensuring they don't make rash/impulsive buying decision that he knows they will later regret. Dan's proven and greatly successful business model's foundation is firmly cemented in longstanding relationships and by treating those as he would want himself treated. Lastly, prior to finding Dan our family worked with other relators. We had looked at several homes and made the highest offers on properties, but our offers were not accepted. True be told we found out that in such a competitive market (not just for buyers but remember for relators as well) that the longstanding personal relationships agents had with each other with made the biggest difference. Once we found Dan, we had the sellers ear, and our family dream home became reality! Thank you, Dan your professionalism is amazing, and character is rare!
We have used Dan on 4 different transactions and will be using him and his team again on an upcoming 5th. He is honest, up front, fair and reasonable. He knows when to push and when to stop. We have had great experiences with Dan since we first connected more than 10 years ago and would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a great broker to work with on a purchase or sale in the Greater Boston area.
I was connected to Dan and his team through friends, their endorsement was nothing short of glowing. After our initial conversation, it was clear that he is the perfect realtor for a first time home buyer. Dan went above and beyond. For example, he booked me a private showing during the Boston Marathon at a property that was adjacent to the finish line. I loved it and our first offer was accepted within two hours. I left 24 hours later for Europe and Dan managed each stage of the deal while I was abroad- including finding me a below market mortgage rate. In short, what should have been the most stressful transaction of my life was a breeze due to his skillful navigation of the process. I look forward to working with Dan again in the future and cannot recommend him highly enough. He brings professionalism and a wealth of experience to empower his clients to make educated decisions about which home will best suit them.
I have been working with Dan for years. He has previously helped me to buy my property, now he helped me to sell it and buy another one. Couldn't be any happier with the service he has provided! Dan always took the time to understand my needs and preferences, and I could see how knowledgeable of the market he was. He is very professional, and his negotiation skills were always top- notch, securing the best deals that exceeded my expectations! He is not only a very professional, but also very pleasant to work with as a person. I highly recommend Dan to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Dan's professional commitment was such a gift to us as we searched for a home. We are so grateful for his extraordinary work ethic and passion to help. He communicated promptly and always followed up with all our concerns. His experience and guidance was a tremendous help in negotiating for the purchase of our home. We are delighted to have had the opportunity to work with Dan and we know you will be as well!
Dan Gorfinkle was exceptionally helpful to my wife and me as we sold our home in preparation for moving into a senior community. Having lived in the same house for 52 years, we had no idea how to go about selling it and Dan patiently and skillfully guided us through every step of the process. He knows the market and helped us determine the sweet spot asking price to attract interested buyers. He skillfully advertised so it received hundreds of views when listed on the market, and with only two days of private showings and two brief open houses was able to generate multiple bids over the asking price. Dan is a true professional who demonstrated his expertise throughout the process and responded immediately and helpfully to any questions or concerns we had. Not only did he get a price for our house significantly higher than expected, but as importantly was always ethical, straightforward, and easy for both my wife and me to work with. We confidently recommend him to anyone planning to sell or buy a house in the Boston metro area.
Dan did a great job planning my purchase of a new house depending on selling my old house in the middle of the holidays and winter conditions. I had very challenging requirements to accommodate in the new house and Dan did a phenomenal job making them happen in addition of dealing with a very sneaky developer. The promotion of the old property to get a buyer was immaculate - on time, sold house in 5 days above the price I was expecting. Thank you Dan! A pleasure to work with you
Dan was everything we wanted in a realtor. He was very candid, helpful and professional. He was extremely knowledgeable about the location, how much the property could be expected to fetch on the market and what any potential problems might be and how to counteract them. Very proactive, he moved the process along efficiently and expeditiously, and his ideas for presenting the property were spot on. In the end, we had numerous offers within days of the property being placed on the market, and we were able to sell my brother's condo for appreciably more than what we thought the optimum sale price would be. I recommend his services very enthusiastically.
Dan has been fantastic to work with as a buyers agent. Dan is super helpful when trying to figure out what it is you want, and he is a fantastic resource of first hand industry and personal experience. He pays attention to detail and offers honest comments on properties we looked at. He is an excellent communicator; he is always prompt and clear with his responses. I could not have been happier with his services and would highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for property in the Greater Boston Area.
Dan along with Alex Blizard did an excellent job in representing me in both buying a new condo and selling my old condo. I met Dan at an open house and found him to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful, even after I made it clear I wasn?t going to be making an offer on that condo. I was just looking at that stage. He came to my old condo and gave me an approximate value (one that ended up being close to the final selling price). He sent me listings for new places but never pressured me. I am particular and I was fine to wait months/years to find the right place. Dan was also perfectly fine with that timeline. I managed to find a place quicker than I expected. Dan was great during the negotiations, and I felt confident that I had put forth my best offer, which is so important in a competitive real estate market like Boston. And I was successful in getting the condo I wanted. Selling my old condo was smooth and again I felt very confident in Dan and Alex to manage all the things that need to be done in order to sell. We coordinated on the listing price and I felt like they gave me the information I needed to make an informed decision. I cannot recommend them enough.
Dan did an incredible job helping us sell our home. His advice on how to maximize our sale was spot-on and we generated a significant number of offers after just one open house. He is professional, responsive, and very knowledgeable.
My husband and I worked with Dan on our first home purchase. As first-time home-buyers, we wanted to work with a buyers agent with extensive local knowledge and experience. Dan struck the balance of equipping us with the information we needed in a tough market without pushing anything on us. He was very responsive from the screening call all the way to closing. We would work with Dan and his team again on a future property and would recommend him to buyers in the Greater Boston area!
Dan did an outstanding job assisting my husband and I in purchasing our first home together. He was very knowledgeable about the market in our location and was incredibly responsive. Dan has clearly established excellent relationships with other agents, buyers/sellers and contractors in the area which makes a big difference in the process. He went above and beyond during our purchasing and closing, providing us with critical advice throughout the offer and negotiation process. Buying a home can be a stressful experience but we felt confident throughout the process because of Dan?s knowledge, care and expertise!
Dan and his team are everything we hoped for a realtor to be. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the many complex intricacies of the real estate world, has a great sense for what it takes to win the bid, and has such a personable nature to boot. As first time home buyers, we have appreciated Dan?s patience, honesty, and lighthearted sense of humor as we navigated the process of looking for a first home in a highly competitive market. Dan was able to keep us grounded and focused through the highs and lows of this process. He can give highly detailed and specific explanations when warranted but keeps the explanations simple unless further information is requested. Dan?s work ethic goes above and beyond my expectations. On multiple occasions he and his associates would take our calls at night if we were unavailable during the day. Dan was also able to make some very helpful recommendations for excellent (and cost-efficient) bankers, lawyers, etc which made the process very streamlined. We would highly recommended Dan and his team to anyone in greater-Boston region.
Dan helped us buying our first condo, after we had a terrible experience with another realtor. He went above and beyond and was very thorough, and so, years later, when we had to sell that condo and buy a house to accommodate parents and children, the choice of realtor was one detail about which I did not have to worry. I never regretted depending on Dan for these huge life decisions. I cannot sufficiently convey the extent to which Dan cares for and serves his clients with the highest quality attention and responsiveness. He took time to understand our needs and constraints, negotiated with finesse and ferocity, and went the extra mile more times than I can count. From the smallest details to understanding the big picture, he is one of a kind. We have had the benefit of working with him on both sales and purchase now, and he works with integrity, good communication, and always puts his clients first. Some people work hard, some people care deeply: Dan is one of the few who does both and gets results. He knows the market well, was always honest and comprehensive. He is not one of those realtors trying to convince you to go with a property to get the transaction done. He wants you to have the best experience and outcome possible. I cannot say enough to recommend him, and will 100% turn to him again when we have to sell our current home - where we are very happy.
I was very impressed with Dans and his teams responsiveness to me as a new home buyer, his careful handling of all the processes in offering and closing, and his attention to all of my questions. I would recommend him to all new and experienced buyers. He and his staff were also indispensable in working with me to find a responsible renter.
Dan is a SUPERB agent who helped us purchase our dream family home. What makes Dan so great? 1) He is extremely knowledgeable about the local market, historical trends, and nuances of specific neighborhoods. He will listen carefully to your priorities and tailor his recommendations accordingly. Commuting needs, proximity to amenities or schools or parks, safety, neighborhood personalities, and more ? Dan is attuned and insightful about all of these. 2) He is professional, engaging, tactful, and honest. On numerous occasions, he helped to shepherd multiple family members on the buyer side and facilitated a warm and trusting relationship with the seller side. 3) He is proactive and highly responsive. He was available for urgent decisions at almost all waking hours. 4) He has built a knowledge base and network of professionals to help new home owners with things like township rules, security, snow clearing rules, radon testing, and other issues you might never have thought of before. We would highly recommend Dan for anyone looking for a home in the Boston metro area!
Dan is an outstanding agent, impeccably professional, responsive and extremely knowledgeable about the local market. He was originally recommended to me by a friend in a transaction for which Dan was actually the agent on the other side, and I engaged Dan to both buy a home in Brookline and then sell it three years later. I trust Dan?s judgment to such a degree that I plan to seek out his assistance to find an agent in the city to which I am moving. I would recommend Dan without hesitation.
Dan is both a consummate professional and an exceptionally kind human being. He helped us find our dream home, represented us with tact and integrity throughout the negotiation, and always found time for us when we needed him. What?s more, we welcomed our first child while going through the purchasing process. Dan helped us think through the implications of having a new baby in a new home and even gave us some much needed baby gear! We would recommend Dan to anyone in the area looking for a home.
Dan and his team are the A-team! My husband and I started working with them when we were casually looking around the Greater Boston area, and anytime we became interested in a property they would immediately help coordinate details and get the inside scoop to help us make a decision. Dan helped with every part of the process to get us prepared to make an offer when we were ready, and he educated us as first time home buyers to feel confident on the learning curve. When the opportunity came to make an offer, we needed to act fast (I was 9+ months pregnant!), and Dan made it happen by helping us through negotiations to get our dream home at a dream price even in a highly competitive market. If you work with Dan?s group you will be in the best hands - they have positive and pragmatic energy, they are professional, and they know the business! We?ll be referring others to Dan for years to come.
Dan was very resourceful and had extensive knowledge on the market trend. He has a very broad network that was very beneficial during the time of purchase. He also catered to our specific needs when it came to layout and then location. It was an incredibly smooth process working with him.
Dan is a thoughtful and savvy broker. He helped us assess properties objectively and was respectful of our criteria. Dan was also super responsive and made us feel like we were his most important client. Grateful for Dan?s counsel and partnership.
Dan Gorfinkle is truly unbelievable ? I still can?t believe we just purchased a house!!! I purchased my first home several years ago, and the experience was an absolute nightmare ? so much so that I told myself I would have to live in this condo forever because I would never put myself through that again. Our previous realtor was the most unprofessional, ignorant and lazy human being I have ever worked with, which was something we didn?t realize until we were way too far into the process. Even though we had been entertaining the idea of finding a better place for years, I hesitated simply because I could not bear the idea of potentially working with someone like that again. I randomly stumbled upon a listing on the internet that looked like a good fit for our needs, so I decided to swing by the open house that weekend, which is where I first met Dan. He was showing the house and it was really great, but because of my previous experience I dragged my feet and by the time I responded there was already an offer accepted on the property. Dan said he?d keep me posted if anything changed with the sale, but I figured he was just being polite. I was totally wrong ? not only did he keep me in the loop ? he found the place we ended up buying, which was a much better fit than the one we visited. We weren?t even actively looking but based on what I mentioned to him during that quick open house, Dan found us our dream home within a few weeks. Dan literally took care of every aspect of the sale, which was the complete opposite of my first home buying experience with our previous realtor. Dan was so patient and so thorough ? he even negotiated to get the price down $27,000 below asking, which is absolutely amazing in this market. He is also helping us with a few minor renovations by connecting us with professionals in his network. I cant say enough positive things - we were completely blown away and are so grateful we found him. Dan is the best!!!
Dan and his team were outstanding in the process of renovating and selling our home, as well as buying our new dream home! Throughout what could have been a complicated process, Dan was responsive and extremely helpful in preparing our home for sell and helping us to identify a new home. Based on Dans experience and strong knowledge of the market, we were able to sell our home above asking. As a master strategist/negotiator, Dan also helped us successfully secure our dream house within our desired price range and timeline. Dan is highly professional, kind, and provided us with a clear road map for the sell/purchase process. We would recommend the Gorfinkle Group to anyone searching for their next home!
We relocated to the Boston area this year and found Dan through a Google search. We couldnt have dreamed of a better partner. We had no prior knowledge of the area and needed to find our new home over the course of a couple of weekend trips. On each trip Dan took us through a curated selection of showings and pulled detailed pricing data for each of the neighborhoods we were considering. When we found the perfect place, he got the deal done, and we closed without a hitch. Dan is great at what he does. We give our highest recommendation.
