Great person, listened well, took the time to understand our wants and needs. Highly recommend Dan and his team!

Working with Dan was a real pleasure. He was patient beyond any expectation as we changed our minds about exactly what we were looking for a few times. He never grew impatient or angry (something I'm not sure I could have managed) . Thanks to Dan, my wife and I found our perfect house. I would recommned Dan to anyone looking for a very knowledgeable and responsive agent. He is extraordinary.

Excellent & Professional Service! My experience with Dan & his team was not only a pleasure but a great learning experience in selling my property. It has been decades since my last property sale and a Great Deal has changed. So naturally I was nervous, but Dan helped guide me through it with Professional Knowledge & confidence that in turn gave me confidence the property would be sold quickly, and it was.

Dan is truly exceptional. He works closely with you, understands your needs, and makes the entire process seamless. Before working with Dan, I had experience with another agent where I constantly felt the need to stay alert for potential issues. With Dan, that stress disappears—you can simply focus on whether the property feels right, while he expertly handles everything else. Touring homes with Dan is genuinely enjoyable. He’s the kind of agent everyone seems to know and appreciate. His deep experience shows in the smart strategies he uses to navigate deals, and it’s clear he does this work because he genuinely enjoys meeting people and exploring real estate—not just as a job, but as a passion. Dan has a calming presence and offers thoughtful advice that eases any anxiety. I hadn’t realized how much happens after a contract is ratified, but Dan’s team operates like a well-oiled machine—professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive. He often says, “We can find something even better for you,” and he means it. He navigates San Francisco without GPS—need I say more about how well he knows the city?

I’ve known Dan for quite a while, and he’s helped me sell two places now — one about four years ago and my most recent home. He makes the whole process easy. He keeps you updated, knows his stuff, and you never feel like you’re getting the runaround. Plus, he’s just a good guy to have on your side."

Dan was one of two referrals I had from different sources. I had a list of questions to ask of both. The first didn't listen to me at all and was only interested in telling me what he wanted to say. Dan let me direct the conversation answering every question I had. I knew in that first conversation that I had chosen the right person to work with.The property had some challenges to it but in the end due to his diligence and knowledge of the area, it sold for more than expected. I had weekly phone updates and was kept informed at every step. Dan was kind, thoughtful and very professional. It was an absolute pleasure working with him. Lovely person, excellent realtor fantastic experience!

I had much anxiety going into the process of selling my house, as I had lived there for over 30 years and there was still much improvement that needed to be done. Having little knowledge of what an Agent's responsibilities were and what I needed to do to prepare to sell and move; I made a long list of questions. I was in the, out of the ordinary, position of wanting to market my house while I was living there. Dan provided honest, experienced based, answers to all of my questions. He gave me options for having some or many improvements done, or selling as is, along with the projected costs and expectations of what kind of offers to expect in each scenario. As more questions arose, Dan was prompt and professional at returning my calls and messages with answers and options. He also at various times in my process helped me see Housing options in Marin and Sonoma Counties. Dan or his team arranged for and met with inspectors promptly and were always available to schedule and meet prospective buyers at private viewings as well as the Agent Open Houses. Dan suggested an asking price based both on the Bernal Market and his experience. My dream was to move only once and end up in Marin County. This became a reality as I accepted an offer, well over the asking price, on my house and we closed four days before I closed on a property in Marin! I highly recommend Dan Dodd.

Dan was highly recommended by a family member, and based on my experience, I would like to share that I agree Dan is an excellent realtor. I think the the qualities that make Dan stand out is #1 his long experience as a realtor and #2 his long experience as a realtor in San Francisco which has some significant "particularities". Dan simplified the home selections given the parameters we requested and guided us through the process of buying a home. He also has a wealth of referrals for home modification and repair which was helpful. Dan was easy to work with, and is a true professional as a real estate agent. I highly recommend Dan as a real estate agent.

I met Dan a few years ago as he was preparing to put a large "trophy" home on the market in the hills above Market Street. It was a stunning piece of real estate, but needed lots of work to get it ready for market in order to get the highest price. His expertise in preparing the property was amazing - a night and day difference, and the property sold quickly (in a soft market) for over $3 million. I knew then that when I needed one, Dan would be my realtor. Fast forward a few years and it was time for 3 major moves in our lives - sell the business, buy a house outside of the city, and sell our condo. We approached Dan with our plan, and he put the gears in motion. The sale of our property was tricky: the best property in a not-so-great location. He had it sold in less than 30 days, for our full asking price. He helped us successfully navigate purchasing our new home (15 bids? not exactly sure, but there were ALOT). We ended getting the property for $50K less than the high bidder, largely due to Dan's competence and knowledge of the process. Early on, I promised myself I would do everything Dan told me to do. Some of those things were difficult and expensive to perform on - but I followed through on my promise to him and myself - and it was a completely successful process. Dan is extraordinary and rare, and you'll be a very lucky person to have him on your side as you navigate the minefield that is Northern California real estate.

I keep throwing Dan curve-balls with last minute opportunities in San Francisco and he responds quickly with knowledge about values and process and he's always come through. He's helped me buy three properties in the past and each time, he makes it clear and easy and jumps on the offers before they go to someone else. His knowledge of different neighborhoods and their particularities (especially of buildings, HOAs, etc.) made these purchases easy.

I couldn’t imagine a home-buying (or selling!) experience without Dan Dodd. My wife and I have chosen to work with Dan since he helped us purchase our very first property a decade ago. He’s helped us many times since then (a few on selling and buying), but even in between countless times on broader home and real estate advice. His immense knowledge of the San Francisco market, history, and current moment dynamics is unparalleled. He’s been there for us when we needed quick referrals for quality tradespeople and he’s gone the extra mile to even offer to walk through with those tradespeople when we couldn’t make it to get us competing quotes! He honestly doesn’t know how to let any situation go by without his clients being 100% happy and excited about their home decisions. Dan and Inspire have set the highest standard for what home buying or selling should be.

Buying my condo in San Francisco was way easier thanks to Dan Dodd. Dan really knows his stuff about the market and was awesome at making sure everything suited my needs. He was great at explaining each step and always had the answers to my questions. His attention to detail made a huge difference, making me feel comfortable with every choice I made. Plus, his negotiating skills were top-notch – I definitely got a sweet deal because of him. Dan's a real pro but also super friendly and supportive. I totally recommend him if you're looking for someone to help you navigate the SF real estate market.
