"I would recommend Dan and his staff to anyone in need of a realtor. The property we sold was not financially a big number but Dan never made us feel like we were less important than any of his other clients. He was easy to contact and responded quickly to any messages I left him. Dan set up closing to make it most convenient for us as we live a distance from our property. We only had to travel 5 min rather than 2 hours. He gave us guidance without pressure. Thank you Dan."
