We worked with Dan to buy our first home and we could not have been happier with the experience! Dan and his team were always generous with their time and advice. As first time buyers, we were new to the home buying process and had lots of questions. He guided us though at every step and made the experience a breeze. He is incredibly responsive and available which was great for our schedule. He has tons of experience and that was helpful for us when buying our home in such a competitive market. Definitely an expert negotiator. I can honestly say we would not be in such a great place without him! We will definitely recommend him to anyone buying in Boston!

Dan came highly recommended to my fiance and I from one of my coworkers. As first-time homebuyers with negative experiences working with prior real estate agents, we were very particular about who we wanted to work with during this process. However, Dan made such a great impression on our first phone call with him that we decided to work solely with him right away. We could tell instantly that he was very efficient, had great communication skills, and was very knowledgable and familiar with the real estate market. We are so grateful to have been connected with him because he made the very intimidating process of buying a new home very easily navigable. He gave us sound advice every step of the way and was very responsive to our many questions throughout the entire process! Finally, his great reputation amongst his colleagues proved very useful to us as he was able to connect us to multiple resources and personal contacts (electrician, lender, cleaner to name a few). In fact, we had multiple people tell us how lucky we were to be able to work with him. To summarize, we are very grateful to have been connected with Dan. We truly believe working with him was one of the best decisions we could have made as first time homebuyers. We would not hesitate to recommend him to all of our friends and family.

Dan was representing the seller of a condo I was interested in, and he was extremely responsive to any questions that I had about the property. When the private buyer of my condo was unable to proceed, he gladly took on that responsibility and found a buyer almost immediately. He skillfully managed that sale, giving useful advice on fixing up the unit and negotiating the price. I learned that Dan had also represented the seller of my current unit and the buyer of my former unit, showing that they were so satisfied with his expertise that they sought him out again. I highly recommend Dan to anyone who is thinking about buying or selling a home. He is personable, responsive, and knowledgeable in the area of metro Boston real estate. Kristin Thompson, his team member, was also very helpful with the finer details of both units. They are outstanding members of the COMPASS Agency!

My experience with Dan includes the purchase of a condo many years ago, the purchase of a single-family home, and recently, the sale of the aforementioned home. Over the years that my husband and I have known Dan, he has gained experience and confidence that have been beneficial to my husband and I as novice property owners. If I were to highlight one of Dan's strengths, it would be his ability to keep his clients on task. Throughout the process, he would check in on us to ensure that anything that was supposed to get done is done. Another strength we appreciate is his consideration of our time and trying to keep inconveniences to us at a minimum. I would also like to mention how helpful Dan's associate, Kristin, is as she and Dan have assisted with a lingering issue with the property even after closing. Many thanks to them.

When we first planned to buy our first home, we started researching the market and visiting open houses for several months. Of the many seller’s agents we interacted with during the open houses, we were particularly impressed with Dan’s professionalism. After reading the reviews and interviewing with four agents, we decided to work with Dan because he is very responsive, knowledgeable, and familiar with the real estate market in the area, and he proved so. He walked us through the entire process, pointed out the pros and cons of each condo we visited, and formulated strategies for making an offer during the pandemic. He also connected us to a lender, Roger Brasil from Guaranteed Rate, who provided us a better rate than all other banks and credit unions we contacted and has been very responsive to all the questions we raised during the process. We met Kristin on our closing day and she provided very useful tips on homeownership as well. The whole buying process was smooth and took about 2 months. We highly recommend Dan and his team to anyone who is interested in buying a house in the Greater Boston areas.

We recently had the opportunity to work With Dan Gorfinkle and Kristin Thompson with Compass Reality. The experience was highly success and the process moved fast and handled with the utmost expertise. They’re preparation to get our condo ready for listing was swift. It was listed on MLS 9/3 and had an open house Saturday 9/5 and Sunday 9/6. By Monday the 7th we had competing offers and had it under agreement for sale. We closed on 9/23. This fast past process went very smoothly and well beyond expectations. I highly recommend Dan and Kristin as they are very motivated and true professionals.

Dan was excellent navigating the buying process. Great knowledge of the local area and tuned in to the demand, competiveness and price. Highly recommend!!!

Dan is the best in Boston. He is responsive at all times. He patiently and transparently explains his thought process behind price as well as balancing of other concerns. He knows current trends and how they are affecting supply/demand. In short, he is a numbers/analytical thinker and I really appreciated that as a seller. Throughout the process he had often multiple showings per day, even in a pandemic. I also worked with him remotely and he put in tremendous extra effort to coordinate access to my condo on my behalf. I can’t recommend him enough.

Dan and his team were excellent to work with. He helped me purchase my condo 7 years ago, and now sell it, as well as buy a new home. All of the transactions were very smooth. The entire process was great - Dan is super knowledgeable, caring and understanding, and he is never pushy or just trying to get the deal done. We would definitely recommend the Gorfinkle Team to anyone in the area looking for a great experience in buying or selling real estate.

Dan was extremely helpful in selling our house. He knew exactly what we had to do to achieve this and was always available to answer any questions we had. His expertise in handling our sale made it very easy for us to accomplish this. We highly recommend using Dan as your home seller.

I've worked with Dan on now two purchase and sales, and also with Kristin on the second sale. You really can't find a better team. My most recent purchase and sale was fraught with challenges, and they truly excelled through the process. Can't recommend them highly enough for their local expertise, negotiation skills, and support both during and after the purchase/ sale process. A good realtor is so much more than the person who sells you a home - they're your connection to your new neighborhood and the services you'll need as a homeowner. I've been able to lean on Dan and team for recommendations for everything from repair services, to DIY tips, to restaurants, and they haven't steered me wrong yet. Highly recommend!

We had a great experience working with Dan from our first meeting to our last walk through of our new place. Dan is incredibly responsive, calling or sending a text regularly to check in. He is always available to talk through questions or issues. I never felt like we were forgotten or ignored in the process. He is also very adept at negotiating and understanding the market and what is possible. He is willing to go above and beyond to work out any problems for you. It was a pleasure to work with him, and we would highly recommend him!
