Why Work With Dan Allen?

Dan was a pleasure to work with. He was a good listener and communicator. We found that asset most helpful as a seller. Highly recommend Dan as a knowledgeable agent knowing the area and markets well.

Dan helped my wife and I execute on our dream to buy a mountain house in the Cashiers area that met all of our criteria. His local knowledge coupled with a casual attentiveness was appreciated.

Dan has an innate ability to recognize a 'unique' properties potential and match same with a buyer. (In-depth knowledge of the 2nd home/vacation home market was critical to our situation.) He possesses the patience to guide the seller through what can be an aggravating sales cycle. (This is  especially true in a state like NC where the buyer seems to have the advantage.) Always responsive, Dan pursued all opportunities. This determination resulted in the sale. This experience was, by far, the best we've had in the sale/purchase of more than 15 properties over the years. (And this in what has proven to be a challenging market and less than ideal point in the cycle.) We recommended Dan Allen all throughout the listing. We continue to recommend him to anyone that is looking for a positive, successful sales experience. 

Awesome!!!! It was a wonderful transaction. It was like I had nothing to do, and let Dan get it done. Fabulous interaction and communication. Would highly recommend Dan to all persons needing some form of real estate advice, buy or sell... Second home I have purchased from Dan.

Dan's experience, knowledge, and willingness to help with the purchase of our property was invaluable. He went above and beyond all of our expectations, coordinating a number of inspections, conducting research, interfacing with the County, pulling in his own resources...the list goes on. He is knowledgable about the area, quick to respond, and honest about his opinions. We have worked with many Realtors before and none came close to the level of service Dan provided. We would recommend him without any reservation.

Dan lives up to any standard that you can set. He's friendly, professional, and listens. He was always available every step of the way to answer any questions and even the ones we didn't know we should ask. My husband and I would certainly recommend Dan.

Dan provided an excellent experience of finding a vacation home in the Cashiers area for our family. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for. Being out of state, he was very helpful in handling those items that were difficult for us not being from the area. I would definitely recommend as well as use him again!

Dan was always prompt and responsive. Dan is a good listener and made sure he understood our situation and our questions. He kept us informed and was always straight forward with us about market conditions and pricing decisions. We wholeheartedly recommend Dan Allen.

Dan couldn't have been more helpful. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area, the history behind most of the properties, and is always willing to offer honest opinions when asked. He is friendly, outgoing, and in touch with the "pulse" of the market. He made the selling of our home a  comfortable experience, and I know of no finer realtor in the region. I would have no reservations in recommending him with complete confidence to anyone interested in buying or selling a property. He really listens to his clients and works tirelessly to meet your expectations. His knowledge of the area is unparalleled.

We were a retired couple looking to move to the NC Cashiers area, desiring a lakefront property. We serendipitously met Dan thru Silver Creek website when exploring houses. When inquiring about properties Dan responded immediately with information that helped us narrow our search and not waste time as we were in Atlanta. On our third time up to the area, we found the perfect house on the lake and Dan was instrumental in helping us navigate the process as we had not bought or sold in 30 years! Things have changed!! The characteristics we most appreciated were: responsiveness, honesty, upfront with pros and cons, not pussyfooting around, good negotiation skills. In addition, Dan was able to intuit after showing a few houses just what our ‘style’ was, again, not wasting time. If you are planning on buying or selling a house in the NC mountains you could NOT find a better agent to help you. And in addition, just closing is not the end of the relationship. He has been crucial in introducing us to servicemen, housekeeping, landscapers.....all the people one needs to know when moving to a completely new area. I sincerely recommend Dan Allen for your real estate needs.
