We gave Dan a tough challenge: help us find a house for our family of four. We don't know where in Chicagoland to settle, we live 500 miles away, and despite the volatile market we need to be in a house in two months. Five trips and 40 house showings later, we found the right house in the right neighborhood, in large part due to Dan's enthusiastic help and advice. Beyond being attentive, responsive, and trustworthy, specific qualities/actions that made Dan stand out were: -astute negotiation skills, resulting in much higher seller concessions than expected -superb understanding of Chicago neighborhoods, combined with an intuitive sense of our preferences, resulted in a home and neighborhood that suits us aesthetically and functionally. -all around "good dude" vibe - a legitimately good hang - his enthusiasm for life is genuine. We hope to not need Dan's services for a long time but would return to him in a heartbeat if we decide to move later. 100/100.
