Reviews of Dan Chin Homes (Real Estate Agency)

Corissa Runde

Our little guy was about to start kindergarten – and we were cutting it pretty close. Our plan had always been to move before our son started kindergarten, so he could attend school with the daycare friends he grew up with in our neighboring community. But busy lives get in the way of the best laid plans, and before we knew it, we were facing a looming deadline to sell the home we'd loved for 10 years – and find and purchase our new, hopefully “forever home." Enter Dan Chin and his fantastic team. From our first meeting with Dan, we were confident we were in excellent hands. It was immediately clear he had already done extensive research to help us determine the pricing sweet spot for listing our home (Dan’s definitely not the type of realtor who will throw spaghetti at a wall to see what sticks). Well before your house hits the market, he’s done the legwork to make sure you hit the ground running – which means you’ll likely avoid the dance of having to lower the listed price when your house sits too long. And beyond his extensive, impressive preparedness, we were also immediately struck by his genuine commitment and enthusiasm for his work. In that initial meeting, we didn’t just pore over the comps. Dan also made it a point to discuss our goals and motivations for moving on from the home we’d loved, and what we were looking for in the next part of our journey. Believe it or not, that discussion (therapy session??) with Dan was the first time we had actually articulated our goals! When you’re buying/selling a home, it’s easy to get caught up in the frenzy and just sign a bunch of papers. And I don’t mean to sound like a motivational speaker here (though I do love me some Matt Foley!) - but with all things in life, knowing the “why” behind the “what” of anything you’re doing will keep you moving along the right path, toward that greater purpose. From what I’ve observed firsthand as Dan’s client, he certainly approaches his work in a manner that isn’t just going through the motions. He has you and your goals in mind with every step. So for us, it was the heart and integrity behind Dan Chin Homes that made working with Dan and his team such a positive experience. Throughout the entire process, they were all incredibly responsive, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable – which was invaluable to us in navigating the complex processes of buying and selling our homes. We'd recommend Dan Chin Homes in a heartbeat.

Dan earned his keep on my house. I can't believe how much work it really is. I think anyone who does a great job is going to stick out in the crowd and when you stick out in the crowd, someone is going to pick on you. Dan and his entire team created realistic expectations when I first signed up with them. Then, they worked their butt off to make my deal happen and I super appreciate all the honest advice and professionalism.

My husband and I sold bought and sold our first house with Dan Chin Homes. We're going to be looking for house number 2 and will be returning to Dan Chin Homes for the 3rd time! The team took great care of us and made sure we knew what was going on at each step of the process. We're excited to work with them again.

Dan and his team were awesome throughout the whole process! I had a one bedroom home that I thought would take months to sell, but with Dan's ability to reach so many people through his marketing, we sold in 1.5 days on the market. We listed it Sunday at 1 pm and by the end of the day Monday we had 3 offers to review plus many other showings scheduled. I will continue to recommend Dan Chin Homes to all of my clients and friends as well as use them in the future on all my properties!

How can you not want to work with a family owned company who takes pride in where they live? They are active in the community in which they work, in which they live, in which they are raising their kids. Family and community focused, friendly and easy to work with... Doesn't get much better than that.

Our experience with Dan Chin Homes was fantastic! Dan and his team sold our home after one open house -- we were thrilled to receive multiple offers well over our asking price. Dan is a marketing genius who guided us through every step of the process, always looking out for our best interest. He is professional, knowledgeable and experienced, with proven results. Most of all, he's genuine. Dan and his staff really take the time to connect and communicate with their clients; they are always available, responsive and happy to assist in any way possible. Exceptional in every way!

This was our first time listing with Dan. We wanted someone in our own community who knew it well and would be able to tell potential buyers about its advantages. He explained his marketing plan in detail and had us meet with a sales agent who also spent a great deal of time with us in determining exactly what we were looking for in a new home. We not only got a higher offer on our home than we anticipated but we also got the home we want in a community that was first on our list. We highly recommend Dan and his team.

We had a great experience selling our home with Dan. He has excellent marketing skills and has a team that helped us throughout the process. We sold our home for more than what we originally thought we would.

Harlee Ziegler

Such an amazing realtor. Helped us find our perfect house and made it as easy of an experience as we could've hoped for. Everyone is so nice and I'm already recommending them to everyone!

Dale Suslick

Excellent realtor. Honest, hard working, knows the real estate market. Dane county: Madison, Monona, McFarland, and more. Highly recommend. Worked with Dan Chin personally. Top notch. Dan will get your home sold for best price in shortest time. And can work with buyers who need to find a home that is for sale and perfect for you.

That one star review bu Dan Gardnier? Sour grapes! This guy must has lost a house he was interested in. His comments are unbecoming and disrespectful..... Dan Chin is a master marketer and moves property.

Dan Chin exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend him. We had decided, last minute, to sell our condo nearing the end of the height of the selling season. As a result, we needed to move quickly to maximize potential interested buyers. Many months prior, we had casually consulted with a few other realtors, all of which told us we would never get the amount we wanted for our condo without any of them ever seeing it. The other realtors were confident that even with our significant, costly professional remodel, we could not sell our condo for higher than any prior condo sold in our complex. This left us discouraged and disgruntled. When we did decide to sell then, we had low expectations for a realtor. We found Dan through his Facebook marketing on a Saturday evening and sent him a message expressing interest. We literally got a text message that evening from one of his team members answering some of our questions. Dan then called us the very next day and we had an appointment scheduled in our home, for him to see it, within just a few days. A day before the appointment, we had the most thorough binder dropped off on our porch outlining comparable properties in the neighborhood as well as past condos that had sold in our complex. Then when we met Dan, he exceeded our expectations. After viewing our home, he went over the comparable properties outlined in the binder. Based on his extensive market data, he rendered his opinion on how much he thought we could sell our condo. The number he presented was well above the price for which we thought we could realistically sell the condo. Then, he arranged for the home stager to meet us that afternoon to begin her work, scheduled professional photos two days later, and arranged to list the condo just over a week out. Our condo sold in five days for full price. We were overjoyed and will never sell another home with anyone else.

Working with Dan and his team was such a positive experience. From the moment we met Dan, we knew he would work tirelessly to sell our home for top dollar and help make our family’s dreams come true. Our buyer’s agent, Wade, was also very knowledgeable and helped us to purchase our dream home! With the assistance of Toni and Casey, all the paperwork and details were handled seamlessly. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and will be forever grateful to Dan Chin Homes!

Dan is awesome and a pleasure to work with. You should buy or sell your home through Dan Chin.

What I appreciated most about working with Dan Chin Homes is that they focus on Buyers and Sellers separately. We were buying a home so we worked with Apollo Marquez, Buyer Specialist. I can't imagine this process without him. He was a true advocate for us on many levels. He pointed out things he noticed on houses - not just walking us through like a tour guide. If you're a first time home buyer or getting back into it for the first time in a while... I can't recommend Apollo enough. I have no plans on moving anytime soon but if we do sell down the road, Dan Chin Homes will be who we list with.

very slick under the table double dealer ...closes deals before they are listed to scam the competition and home buyers. Must have lost his job as a used car salesman.
