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 Allen was amiable throughout the thick and thin of the selling process. He acted as a strong advocate for us and was proactive with suggestions while always listening to our viewpoints. Dan is an excellent communicator in person, by phone, and online. We recommend him wholeheartedly!

We had a very pleasant experience working with Dan to sell our house in a challenging market. Dan and his team did everything they could to ensure that our home received maximum coverage and was always "ready to show". His advice and guidance throughout the process were excellent. He was always professional and very responsive to our calls and emails. Dan is a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend him.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Dan from initial phone call through visit and property and area tour through offer negotiation and closing. Dan is a quintessential professional. He is highly knowledgeable of the area and of the real estate profession. He is honest and transparent at all times and gives a great sense of honesty and integrity. Dan did an excellent job of identifying properties across the spectrum of our interest and was highly effective at comparing and contrasting them for us as we moved toward a selection. I can not recommend Dan highly enough to anyone interested in real estate within his domain. His personal professional pride shines through and you can be confident in a fair and informed experience.

Dan is an outstanding agent. He has a keen knowledge of the local market. He has a wonderful personality and is easy to work with. Also very honest in his assessment of property and is not bashful about appropriately not recommending certain properties. He was very helpful in selecting our lot.  His knowledge of building in the area was invaluable. Would recommend him highly and without any reservation. 

It was my wife's and my pleasure to work with Dan from the initial phone interview, to house hunting trip, though offer, negotiation and purchase on a home in the Cashiers area. Dan is a quintessential real estate professional. His local knowledge, courtesy, professional but personalized demeanor represented the highest levels of accomplishment in the realty business. Dan was excellent at listening and preparing a list of properties that were exhaustively reflective of the market. His local knowledge of the market was exceedingly helpful in the negotiation phase, and his compulsiveness about follow-up, follow-through, and details guaranteed a smooth journey through closing. I cannot recommend Dan highly enough to anyone pursuing property in the market he serves.

Dan was my agent for the purchase of my NC cottage. He's very knowledgeable about the area and recommended excellent inspectors during the due diligence process. If you buy in the Cashiers/Highlands area I would recommend getting both a septic and water pump test done if the home has a well.  Kathryn, Dan's assistant, was also great to work with. She went out of her way for me to measure so I could order the correct appliances. Dan and the closing agent worked quickly to do a short closing for me. The entire team at Silver Creek Realty is outstanding. 

Dan is the consummate professional agent. He, Kathryn, and the entire Silver Creek Real Estate team are amazing. Before listing the home, I spent several hours with Dan discussing the market, his marketing plan, and the comps in my area. I knew that my home was in good hands when all of the agents in the Silver Creek office attended the agent caravan. As it turns out, most of the showings were by agents in the Silver Creek office. Silver Creek's internet presence, the fabulous pictures, the virtual tour, the NC Living magazine, etc. are all far above other real estate offices in the area. In my opinion, the Silver Creek website is the best real estate website that I have used. When Dan and I discussed the original listing price, he agreed with my price of $650,000 (after reviewing other comparable solds and comparable listings in the area). As it turns out the home was sold by an agent in Dan's office at full listing price! I couldn't be happier. I have already recommended Dan Allen to other friends in the area.

Dan was wonderful in helping me purchase the right land lot in the Cashiers area. Since I lived outside the state, I really needed his expert advice. I highly recommend him to be your agent and to help you find that special place. He even has helped me after the sales with some important information.

Dan is wonderful to work with. Very professional and knowledgeable. He sold our home in three weeks. He did extensive market analysis so that our house was priced correctly.
