I worked with Dan Mardis for more than five years before finally purchasing my dream house, and I feel incredibly fortunate that Dan was my broker throughout the process.I was very particular about what I wanted and where I wanted to live. Dan was extraordinarily patient. He showed me opportunities along the way but was never pushy or focused on simply getting a transaction done. He listened carefully, understood what mattered to me, and was always pragmatic about what was, and wasn't, achievable.When we finally found the right house, the transaction turned out to be exceptionally difficult, with an unpredictable seller and numerous issues that arose along the way. This is where Dan was at his best. He was thoughtful, knowledgeable, clear-headed and incredibly responsive. Rather than simply telling me what he thought I should do, he consistently laid out the different scenarios, explained the potential consequences of each, and helped me make informed decisions. He was always punctual, available when I needed him, and remarkably calm when the circumstances were anything but calm.Most importantly, Dan never lost sight of what I was trying to accomplish. He helped me navigate a very challenging transaction and ultimately achieve exactly the outcome I wanted. After a five-year search, I now own the multi-generational house I had been hoping to find all along.I couldn't recommend Dan more highly. He is an outstanding real estate professional and, just as importantly, someone you want on your side when a transaction gets complicated.
