What clients are saying
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:

If you want a property sold, I would highly recommend Dan and Nora. Nora is new to the agency and her great care and keen insight not only priced my lot higher than I expected once she viewed my property but together they had two offers within ten days of listing - one full price! Dan and Nora’s Integrity, honesty, and thoroughness from start to finish was extremely welcomed and gave me peace of mind. The icing on the cake was the buyer was super excited to build their new home and I sold knowing my HOA friends will have a great neighbor :). Thank you for your great service and commitment.

Dan did a great job. He's very responsive, knows the market well, and knows people well. He's an experienced agent. This is the second time we've worked with him, and when we were ready to sell we he was the only agent bothered to call.

We are so lucky that Dan Allen was our realtor, especially in this crazy market! Dan is so patient and never put any pressure on us, even though it took us over a year to find the right house. In fact, he was intuitive enough that when we were debating properties he would tell us "I know we can find a better home for you than this" and spoke with us about his thoughts from an investment/resale perspective down the road as well. He genuinely wanted to help us find the best place, not just make a sale. I cannot tell you how much we appreciate his patience and local knowledge of the market and Cashiers/Sapphire area. We were constantly driving up from Atlanta to look at properties and not only was Dan incredibly accommodating but over time he got to know us well enough to tell us if it was worthwhile for us to make the drive (he was always right!). Thank you so much for your help navigating this market during a tricky time! We are so excited about our new home. We hope to have the opportunity to work together again in the future.

We could not have been more pleased with Dan throughout the entire process. Dan was not only extremely knowledgeable and professional, but he was also a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Like many real estate transactions, ours was not without its minor issues, but Dan handled every issue that arose with the utmost patience, thoroughness, and professionalism. We were continually impressed by how Dan was able to smooth things over between all parties, even when emotions ran high. He helped us maintain a sense of calm, always kept us focused on our ultimate goals, and helped guide us through the process so it could progress as seamlessly as possible. Throughout the entire process, it truly felt like Dan had our best interest at heart while at the same time striving to be fair to all parties, which we very much appreciated. Cashiers is a small town, and buyers and sellers often become members of the same community, neighbors, and even friends. We appreciated that while he fervently represented us as sellers, he strove to complete the transaction while maintaining civility, graciousness, and integrity. Dan also possessed acute attention to detail that proved to be extremely helpful and valuable throughout the entire process. He noticed the little details, which oftentimes are actually extremely important details. Dan is one of those rare professionals who can focus on the big picture and the ultimate goal, but who also pays attention to the details that can easily turn into deal breakers or deal makers. We chose Dan to represent us because he had an in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market and was extremely professional, but what we learned about Dan throughout the process was that he was driven to do the best job he could for us and that we could trust him. His work ethic, motivation, and personal integrity shined through. We have bought and sold many homes, vacation homes, and rental properties over the years, and I think it is a rarity to walk away from a real estate transaction and believe your agent did the best they could for you. We truly believe this of Dan. And if I have not said enough about Dan, I’ll end with this final note: We will soon be helping my mother look for property in the area, and Dan is the first person we are going to call.

Dan is a great realtor as well as an upstanding member of the community. He works hard for his clients and gives back to the Cashiers with selfless volunteer work. He has a thorough knowledge of everything real estate, is a good listener and well as communicator. I found him to be personable and professional. Using Dan Allen as an agent is absolutely the best choice.
Denisa Palinkas

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 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'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.

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.

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.
