"Dan showed himself to be a highly knowledgeable and skilled realtor throughout the home selling process. He made excellent suggestions as to repairs and upgrades and handled all the arrangements with contractors. He helped to negotiate a price for the home that was consistent with the estimate he provided us when we started. He ensured that we were kept fully apprised of every step from the staging, through viewings, through the closing. Without reservation, we give him our highest recommendation."

“I have known Dan since 2007 (13 years) and knew I would want to work with him when it came time to sell my home. He knows a ton about the housing market, and previously also gave me guidance for renting out my home. This summer, amidst a global pandemic, living in NJ, and being pregnant, I knew Dan would make the process of selling my home easy, and I was right. He managed all the work needed to get my home ready to sell, and kept me in the loop the whole way through. Within about 3 weeks of my tenants moving out, we got a great offer which we discussed as I headed to the hospital to have my daughter! We were able to handle everything electronically, and closed within a matter of weeks! Thanks for everything, Dan!!”

“Dan represented us as buyers and sellers. What was a very difficult task in a red hot market was executed seamlessly: Dan showed us several houses before finding us an off-market house and worked quickly to get the deal done. He then listed our house and was able to close the transaction (offer within 5 days of listing) before we settled on the new house. This enabled us to have the funds from our sale to get the best possible financing terms on the new house. He was always reachable through the entire process and always very informative. 10/10 would recommend Dan to anyone buying or selling in the MD/DC market.”

“After interviewing several realtors and considering using one of the discount tech giants, we chose Dan because we liked his recommendations of what to fix to maximize our home price and the price point he wanted to sell our home at. The recommendations were spot on and we ended up with great looking pictures and getting considerably more money for our home than other realtors suggested listing it at. Dan was also great at managing the work being done on the home, choosing contractors and cleaners and overseeing the actual work (painting, cleaning, minor repairs). Dan was highly responsive and very thorough, he made the selling process easy giving us the feeling that everything was under control at every step and the sale had little chance of hitting any roadblocks along the way. We would use him again if we had another house to sell.”

Integrity and loyalty are the two words that come to mind when thinking about Dan. This was the second time we worked with Dan to purchase a house and the first time selling. The results speak for themselves. We sold our house in 48 hours, had nearly 30 showings, multiple offers, and never made it to our open house date. Dan's game plan was perfect from day one. He had the perfect prep plan, pricing plan, and listing strategy. Best of all, it was a partnership from the beginning. Dan led us the entire way but it was always our final decision on what to do. One of the most impressive things was just how much Dan remembered from the purchase of the house we were leaving, including the specifics of the inspection report. In terms of buying, again, Dan used his knowledge of us and built a great base of houses. On tours he stepped back and let us take in each house, never trying to sell us the features but always there with answers and suggestions. Ultimately, we debated between two houses and once we made the decision, Dan was there to get us through what was an extremely painless process. I think the most important thing I can say about Dan was the we truly felt like we were Dan's only client for 3 months (we weren't). He was always there for us whenever we needed him to be and that is exactly what you need as a home buyer and seller. I hope it's another 30+ years before we have to buy/sell, but if for some reason that's not the case, Dan will be the first person we call.

Three years after Dan helped us in buying our home, he represented us in the sale of our home as we relocated to FL. As was the case previously, Dan went above and beyond to make sure we got the most value for our home, were on top of our to-do checklist, and understood the process from beginning to end. Our heads were a little crazy, as we were planning/executing our own relocation with three young kids, and Dan took the reins on all of our home repairs (per our home inspection) so we could rest a little easier and stress a little less. We have yet to meet anyone in the real estate business as honest, personable and professional as Dan, and we wish we could fly him down to FL with us to help us in our home search here. We highly recommend him to anyone we know looking to buy/sell, and would encourage you to do the same!

I never expected a realtor to be so on top of everything. I was living in Southern Italy and needed a place to call home once I landed. He knew the area, he was my eyes and ears. He took care of everything. Because of the time difference i had challenges which he meditated, weather it was with the seller, bank or one of the many inspections. I've been in my home for 2 months now and I have no regrets. He advised and negotiated for me. This was a great purchase and sound financial investment, I give Dan most of the credit for serving me with strong knowledgeable buying advise with this amazing buy. This is my third home I've purchased in my life and the very easiest even from Italy.

Dan helped us buy our Silver Spring town home. He was patient and worked with us over many months while we waited for the perfect home to come onto the market. Dan was familiar with the neighborhood, and had personal relationships with most of the residents of each home. He went above and beyond for us, writing letters to homeowners who we suspected might be interested in selling soon, and contacting agents before homes officially went on the market. When it came to purchasing the home, he helped us through each step, explaining everything, and advising where appropriate. Dan connected us with the right bankers, home inspectors, and contractors, that helped us put together strong offers in this competitive market. We would highly recommend Dan to anyone thinking of buying in the Silver Spring area.
Dan was wonderful. We were selling and buying with hope that everything would work out. We had so much anxiety before starting this process. Dan coordinated everything. He staged our house for photo shoot, he hired contractors to come and take care of the various projects in our house. Due to busy schedules my husband and I didn’t have time to meet contractors, Dan came and meet with contractors and made sure that everything was done to perfection. Our house was under the contract much sooner that we thought. At the same time, we were buying a brand new house that was being built. We had some misunderstanding and misinformation from the sales people on the builder side. Dan took care of everything, he was always looking after us. All that anxiety was for nothing:) THANK YOU DAN:) Dan was amazing, very professional and always made us feel like we were only clients that he had! Even after we moved in the new house and had few issues, Dan was more then happy to assist us in solving this issues.
