Dane Andersen

Originally hailing from Fresno, CA, Dane Andersen moved to Seattle to attend the University of Washington and get away from the heat. He quickly began establishing himself as a skilled woodwind player and became a regular in many theatre orchestras around the Seattle area. Dane also worked administratively at The 5th Avenue Theatre for many years and eventually became the Music Coordinator, managing all aspects of employment and coordination of the musicians. This role, as well as performing, has helped him to hone his interpersonal skills and unknowingly prepared him for his latest endeavor - real estate. Dane's passion for real estate started in 2016 when he and his husband began the search for their own home. He found the whole process fascinating, and was so impressed by their realtor's kindness, patience, and knowledgeability throughout the transaction that it led to him thinking about how he'd like to do this for others someday. That "someday" came in March of 2020 when the pandemic brought a sudden halt to all live music. After some careful thought (as well as some backyard gardening and various baking experiments), Dane chose to jump head-first into real estate. He closed 9 transactions in his first year, which earned him Rookie of the Year at his former brokerage. Dane is calming when things are stressful, as well as highly responsive and resourceful. Working with him is like having a big real estate hug. Dane lives in White Center with his husband Matt and three adorable kitties Phoebe, Pollux, and Phin. He also continues to perform now that live productions have returned.
