Dan was answering the phones in his office on a Saturday. I was new to the area and taking the luck of the draw on a cold call phone introduction. He was willing to take my information and request down for potential property I was clear I may not be interested in buying for several years. He was not deterred. He was helpful in my search and patient. He worked toward an eventual sale, and was always our advocate.

Changed listing broker after 3 years of not even getting an offer on my mom's mountain home and extra lot. Within 30 days of listing with Dan Allen we received offers and contracts! Dan Allen coordinated with local attorney and my family estate attorney to expediate the closings. 

Simply ... Dan Allen is a real estate professional that delivers and we highly recommend him.

We have bought property all over the country. By far Dan Allen has been the most honest, friendly and helpful Agent we've ever worked with. Did I mention how patience he was? We did investigate other Agents available and chose Dan as the one for us. It was a wise decision on our part.

Dan was an absolute pleasure to deal with while purchasing our lot. He was on top of everything and he could also be reached. If I left a voice message it was returned very promptly. I would highly recommend Dan for any of your real-estate needs.

Dan did a great job helping my wife and me purchase our first home. He is extremely knowledgeable of the area and worked hard to get the deal done. In the future whether buying or selling a home Dan will be the agent we use.

After failing to find a rental property, I decided to use my VA Loan benefit to look for a home to buy. I emailed Dan Allen on a Friday afternoon, the only broker I called because of his excellent reputation, relayed to him my specific needs--living space all on one level with very accessible entrance into the property. It is necessary to understand how rare it is in the Blue Ridge Mountains to find a home with those qualifications. On Saturday, Dan emailed a current list of possible properties, one of which seemed perfect. We looked at the property the following Tuesday, loved it, and an offer was made which was promptly accepted! Dan worked closely with the lender, VA loans are very tedious, and the seller. He was constantly in touch to keep me apprised of the progress of home inspection, appraisal, etc., and status of the VA loan. It has been a number of years since I owned a home and was mentally prepared for an arduous process, which never happened. Today, I closed on the property and will be moving this coming week, all accomplished in just over 6 weeks. Unheard of! The success of this transaction is due to the diligence and interest of Dan Allen in reaching the successful conclusion we came to. I will be forever grateful to Dan in locating the perfect property to fit my needs and to the attention he gave to me and to the other parties involved in the loan process. Anyone would be very fortunate indeed in having Dan Allen as their real estate professional!

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.

Dan did a great job in helping to find our perfect Lake Glenville home. We took over 2 years of looking and he was very patient and accommodating, always working around our schedule. He also helped us negotiate, what we considered to be a very fair price. I would highly recommend him to all our friends and would utilize his expertise when and if we decide to purchase another home in the area.

We used Dan to purchase a lot in North Carolina while we were in Florida. We had never seen the lot and relied on Dan's experience and expertise to make the decision to purchase. Dan handled all of the details for us and made the transaction very easy. 

We were extremely pleased with the entire experience!

The thing I found most impressive about Dan Allen was his honesty. I truly believe he would rather lose a sale than sell property to a client that he felt was not in his client's best interest. I would recommend him to anyone and would use him again without question, should the need arise in the future.
