Beyond Real Estate: Outside of work, Dan enjoys hands-on home projects and staying active through running, cycling, tennis, and pickleball. His extensive DIY experience and background in property management add an extra layer of insight and expertise to the service he provides to clients.

Dan is excited to transition fully into real estate, leveraging his technical background, dedication, and love of real estate to support clients in achieving their goals.
