Services
I have been in the "people business" for years and am a strong yet very friendly negotiator. I've lived in the Cowichan Valley most of my life and can give you honest feedback about various areas. This business (or most businesses for that matter) is more about people than anything else. People want service and people want you to "hear" what they're saying.
FIVE STAR PLUS - From the first meeting with Dan to completion, there was nothing we could fault. Always on time, available at all times to answer questions from a Scot who doesn't know how real estate works here and always with friendly advice. Dan achieved the impossible, getting us the max for our sale while getting the best possible deal for our purchase.
Even from a real estate perspective the Cowichan Valley is pretty amazing. Duncan is about 45 mins to Victoria and 40 mins to Nanaimo. Even with its proximity to our province's capital city, the real estate prices here are considerably lower than in Victoria. Many people buy homes up this way and commute for work simply because they can get so much more for their dollar here.
Experiencing considerable growth in recent years, Duncan is a great community to call home. In 2008 & 2009 several big box stores went up in the North part of town and a bunch of reconstructing and building took place in the center of Duncan. The Vancouver Island University campus is located just off the highway, our Cowichan Aquatic Centre and Cowichan Community Centre are close by.
Surrounded by mountains and situated on the calm waters of Osborne Bay, Crofton is a friendly forestry community that is centrally located between Victoria and Nanaimo. Crofton offers car and passenger ferries to Vesuvius Bay on Saltspring Island. Golfers can choose from a few golf courses in the area, Cowichan Golf and Country Club, Duncan Meadows Golf Course & Mount Brenton which is right in Chemainus.

Dan has helped many members of our family buy/sell homes. He has just helped us with the downsizing of our parents’ home and relocating them closer to us from
Chemainus to Duncan. The PATIENCE he showed during these encounters was essential.
We had many hurdles to overcome and Dan explained things clearly, simply, and repeatedly. Aging families with cultural and language barriers were all considered. Dan had to manage communication with all four of us so that we could maintain our parents’ autonomy and be in the loop to assist our parents in this changing real estate climate. We managed what

Dan was an absolute pleasure to work with. His easy going, friendly nature made the process easy of selling a home. But carried a very special type of professionalism which is organized, efficient and informative. Truly appreciated his hard work and his relaxed but productive attitude throughout the whole process. I would not hesitate to use Dan as a realtor and couldn’t recommend his services enough.

After having worked with multiple realtors in the past, I can confidently say Dan is one of the best out there.
This was my first time selling a property and I have a slew of concerns and questions that Dan answered with confidence. He advised me to make a few changes to my decisions throughout the process that ended up working GREATLY to my benefit, it takes someone who really knows their stuff to have to fight back on whats best for you and I am endlessly grateful Dan did. Dan was always available to chat or answer questions at any time of the day, and knew the Cowichan area like the back of

I've had the pleasure of buying two homes and recently selling one of the homes with tremendous success thanks to Dan. Dan's expertise of the real estate market gave me the confidence to make good decisions around buying and selling. Despite his extremely busy schedule, Dan never rushes through anything and took the time to guide my family and I through our sale, purchase and answer questions. Dan has a list of recommended connections for various aspects of purchasing and maintenance of a home. Dan has become not just my realtor but also a great friend. I would highly recommend Dan to be your realtor

I was a Realtor years back and I always remember how Dan was professional and I would have chosen him as a mentor if I was working for the same broker. Dan explains things very well and his strategy is very sound. We sold our house with his help within a couple of weeks even with Covid-19 situation (tough banks and extensive sanitation). The experience was great and Dan did get a couple of other parties back to the table. It took one and we got a very good offer and accepted it. Kudo to Dan.

Dan achieved the impossible, getting us the max for our sale while getting the best possible deal for our purchase. Completion happened while were were on holiday with an eight hour time difference and Dan was still available to us. We would have no hesitation to recommend Dan's services if you are looking to buy or sell a property, he is absolutely professional

Dan has created an outstanding home buying experience for us. His enthusiasm, kindness, wisdom and great work ethic are evident in all that he does. His positive energy is contagious! We felt completely safe with his knowledge and experience, he could ask questions that we, as buyers, didn’t know quite yet. He made sure we got a home that we would love, that was safe for us and that was fair. He worked tirelessly with us and we are so grateful for his skill. I could not recommend him more. Having him as a realtor was an extremely positive experience.

I just wanted to say that Dan had a calm and honest approach with us during our house search. It was kind of a whirlwind but he was a good guide for us. Seriously the best experience I've had with a realtor. And I've seen a few. Dan was referred to us after we had some events that led us to leave the agent we were using.
Being from out of province, we needed someone who was on the ball in regards to our needs. After a few trips, we found our home with Dan's help and patience. We would, with confidence, recommend Dan to others.
