DAN CAME PREPARED WITH VARIOUS LISTINGS IN THE PRICE RANGE WE STIPULATED AND ON OUR TOUR, HE EXPLAINED THE BEST THAT ISLAND LIVING HAS TO OFFER, PEPPERING IT WITH ADDED REALITIES OF WHAT CAN BE CHALLENGING. BASED ON OUR INITIAL DAYS TOGETHER, WE RECONSIDERED MY OPTIONS AND DECIDED TO LIVE ON ISLAND FULL TIME. DAN WAS GREAT, SWITCHING GEARS IN MID-STREAM AND IMMEDIATELY HE GOT US INTO THE BEACH FRONT HOME THAT SPARKED OUR DREAMS OF MOVING THERE. DAN IS PERSONABLE, FORTHRIGHT, HARD-WORKING, TRUSTWORTHY AND IS ASTUTE AT WEIGHTING THE REALITIES OF DIFFERENT ISLAND LIVING SCENARIOS. HE IS KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT CONSTRUCTION BASICS AND THE MAINTENANCE THAT IS INVOLVED WITH ISLAND LIVING. DAN NEVER PUSHED AND ALWAYS PRESENTED A BALANCED PICTURE. HE’S BEEN AVAILABLE FOR ME, AT EVERY TURN ANDTIMETABLE, EVEN ONE EVENING WHEN I CALLED WITH JITTERS ABOUT GOING “ALL IN.” WE RECOMMEND DAN GOTTLIEB WHOLE HEARTEDLY. YOU ARE WELCOME TO CONTACT US IF YOU WANT TO KNOW FURTHER DETAILS.

Dan has this very special skill of making sure a rather difficult situation runs very smoothly. He had our best interest at heart and was compassionate toward our tenants. I appreciated how great Dan was when working with an occupied home for showings. Dan was very easy to work with and more than willing to work with our schedules. He has a great understanding of the current market and is not at all shy to advise us if we were pricing too high or too low. He was very helpful in the sale of our property. Overall, the experience was fantastic.

When the home we were renting was put on the market, we had no thought that we could purchase this home ourselves, but the Broker, Dan Gottlieb thought otherwise. The process went very smoothly and everyone associated with this purchase was totally professional and well versed in their specialty. We could not have asked for a better situation. If Dan had not gone the extra mile, we would not be in our own home today. We are so grateful for his initiative and the excellence of everyone who followed in this process. We give unqualified ultra-high marks to Dan.

We recently listed a piece of property for sale with Dan Gottlieb. We were pleasantly surprised that multiple offers were made on the parcel within a week, since we'd already had plans to be on a vacation. We ended up having to do some paperwork long distance. Dan handled everything seamlessly. We have no hesitation in recommending Dan. We appreciate his professionalism and look forward to working with him again.

My husband and I will be forever grateful for Dan’s professionalism and knowledge of the island. We knew immediately upon seeing our present special spot here, that this was our forever home. Dan pointed us in the right direction with answers to all the questions that we had about building on Orcas and made the entire process a most pleasant and easy one. Because we owned another piece of property on Orcas, we had great concerns about selling it as rapidly as possible. Not to worry—Dan had it sold in a matter of days and we were on our way to making our home here. We also made a friend for life with him and we know that if we are ever in need of a great real estate broker in the future, or have any questions about our home, we would not hesitate to come to Dan Gottlieb. We would highly recommend him to anyone who wishes to make their dreams come true on Orcas Island.
