What I Do

SERVICES BUILT
AROUND YOUR GOALS

Whether you're buying your first home, selling for top dollar, or exploring investment opportunities — every strategy is custom-designed for your situation.

BUYING A HOME

I find homes you'll actually love — not just listings that match a filter. From first-time buyers to seasoned investors, I guide you through every step with clear advice and real market knowledge.

SELLING A HOME

Selling isn't about slapping a sign in the yard. I craft pricing strategies, stage for maximum appeal, and negotiate from a position of strength so you walk away with what you deserve.

MARKET ANALYSIS

Not sure what your home is worth? I provide thorough comparative market analyses grounded in real data — so you make decisions based on facts, not guesswork or hype.

INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

Looking to build wealth through real estate? I help investors identify high-potential properties, analyze returns, and navigate multi-unit and rental markets with confidence.

LOCAL EXPERTISE

Tustin isn't just where I work — it's where I live. I know the neighborhoods, the school boundaries, the market shifts, and the hidden opportunities that only come from deep local roots.

RELLOCATION SUPPORT

Moving to the area? I make the transition smooth. From neighborhood tours to school research to finding the right fit for your lifestyle — I handle the details so you can focus on what matters.

About Dan

NOT EVERY AGENT
WILL FIGHT
THIS HARD.

I got into real estate because I believe a home is more than an asset — it's the foundation for everything else in your life. That's why I approach every transaction with the same intensity I'd bring to my own family's purchase or sale.

Real feedback from real clients. No fabricated ratings — just genuine experiences from people I've had the privilege to work with.

"

Dan made what we thought would be a stressful process feel completely manageable. He anticipated questions we hadn't even thought to ask and had answers ready. We closed on our dream home and couldn't be happier.

We sold our home in under two weeks and above asking price. Dan's pricing strategy was spot-on, and his staging advice made our house look like something out of a magazine. His negotiation skills are unmatched.

As an investor, I've worked with several agents over the years. Dan is the only one who truly understands numbers and ROI. He's helped me build a portfolio I'm proud of, and he always has my back on deals.
