Posted on user4462409Verified Dan Dennison has been my agent throughout the entire process of the search for my first home. Having witnessed many friends and family members go through this process throughout the years, I knew I needed a trustworthy and patient agent. My very first search for a home was certainly an enjoyable and smooth process because of Dan. He is knowledgeable (with decades of experience in Real Estate across multiple states in the country), professional (has an MBA in addition to his experience in the field), friendly (has two friendly dogs as well!), and patient (took his time explaining and answering any questions I had). From day one, Dan was honest, professional, and easy to work with. He takes great care in listening to the client and identifying their wishes in the home search. He carefully explains things in a logical and easy-to-understand manner for a first-time buyer like myself. In addition, Dan has been an excellent resource and as well as a friend when it came to other important items related to the search, such as identifying and navigating through the lending process, learning about what an HOA covers, locating a trustworthy insurance company, home warranties, and discussions with the listing agents and sellers about questions. Dan Dennison is an agent who will go above and beyond to provide the highest quality of service to you, holding the clients' interest at heart.Posted on user8771549Verified I absolutely loved working with Dan while purchasing my first home in Kensington. Overall he is an extremely honest and reliable individual with strong ethics, traits much needed in the business. If you are new to buying a home (as I was) you will not need someone to find the home for you. Zillow, Trulia, Google, etc will serve the search process with ease. It is really once you are in the position to make an offer than a realtor becomes indispensable. You need someone to guide you through the complex process, negotiate, and make sure the contract is written in a way that protects you. I cannot stress this enough. During our offer the contract was initially written (unbenounced to me) in quite unfavorable terms to me, which he pushed to get changed. Additionally he was forceful during the inspection process and I ended up getting quite a lot of money to pay for repairs that were needed (it's a 1931 home). I also bought the home for cheaper than the listed price. Overall, it was great working with Dan, I would work again with him, and I would refer him to anyone who asked.Posted on MariaAMonzonVerified My family is from Canada. To Canadian, buying a house in US is a little tricky. However, Dan helped us explored all opportinities from buying a new home, a resale home and even build my own home. When a house was meeting our criteria, Dan was activiely working with the other agent to secure the transaction in the very active market of middle 2013. During the transaction period, Dan was helping us as much as he could. With his help we moved in to the house as planned. Dan is very honest in the housing shopping, very open to all pros and cons. He is always thinking what we think. This bring us the comfort in the whole shopping process. Thanks to DanPosted on lyndonmosseVerified On behalf of Dan Dennison, I had the pleasure of buying and selling properties with Dan over the past three years. I can honesty say that with him, I’ve enjoyed a level of professionalism that exceeds industry standards and expectations. Dan found me my dream home. And what’s great about working with a realtor that listens, is that Dan found me MY dream home and not HIS. After only a few conversations, I trusted Dan not to waste my time. He only showed me properties that suited my needs, my budget and my sense of esthetic. I was never pressured to visit properties that didn’t meet MY needs, first. Dan also worked fast on my behalf. He methodically and ethically moved each deal forward with amazing speed. His due diligence went beyond the call - making me very comfortable in the execution of all transactions. Over the past decade, I’ve engaged many realtors in the State of California. I can honestly recommend Dan above all others as a trusted professional and a trusted partner in real estate.Posted on waterdwellerVerified My wife and I had very enjoyable buying experience with Dan. His personal passion and love for the Diamond Tail area & property were instrumental in our buying decision.Posted on haasehVerified This was a very difficult short-sale process where in addition to a large first mortgage there was a substantial second. Both the sellers and my wife and I as buyers live out of state. Dan went out of his way to help in countless ways. My wife is a former loan officer and I an attorney with substantial real estate experience. We both agree that Dan Denison is the best realtor we have met. He even arranged to meet inspectors and trades people at the site when necessary. There is no question this deal would not have happened without him. We will use him again if we have a property to sell in the Albuquerque area. Herman and Shelly HaasePosted on jpdelectricVerified My wife and I first contacted Dan to view one of his listings. From our first meeting we liked him. Dan is very personable, easy to talk with, and easy going. He was very attentive to our likes and dislikes which proved helpful with locating properties that was in our interest, and therefore not wasting our time. Dan was also very aggressive at time of negotiation to our benefit when we made the offer for the property we bought. He is extremely honest and loyal to his clients and we also developed a friendship with him and his wife. My wife and I highly recommed Dan Dennison as a realtor (and friend). Sincerely, James and Marilyn Dickie
Posted on Jerome CooperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have worked with Dan for years! He is a great real estate agent based in San Diego, CA. He is very knowledgable about all San Diego area and very experienced with all transactions and property sales. I highly recommend working with him.Posted on Geoffrey RoarkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There are not enough stars to give this man the credit he deserves. I was fortunate enough to meet Dan and his two pups at a local dog park about a year ago, and we have been working with him ever since. He has put in countless hours to generate thorough property reports (which he translates very well!) and schedule private tours for 26 different homes. On several occasions, he even urged us not to make an offer if the home was poorly maintained, or seemed like a "bad deal". Dan is professional, patient, and extremely knowledgeable about the entire home buying process. Although we have not purchased a home just yet, I have no doubt that Dan has our best interest at heart and will help us find the right place.Posted on Amparo QuinonezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When we first met Dan Dennison, he expressed the importance of providing a caring service above making a quick sale. He proved that knowing his clients and establishing a caring friendship is a key element to making a life-time client. Additionally, Dan's thorough knowledge of home construction and the local market is extensive. For example, very time we viewed a new property, Dan would perform a methodical inspection, looking for signs of problems and commenting on the quality of construction, foundation, etc. I highly recommend his professionalism and integrity!
