We look forward to recommending Dan to our friends and family

My wife and I were referred to Dan by our mortgage broker and we could not be happier with his recommendation. Dan is personable, reliable, and extremely knowledgeable about the industry. He met with us on numerous occasions over several months and offered excellent advice along the way. All the way through to the closing Dan was available at a moment’s notice, providing us with guidance any answering any questions we had, big or small. We look forward to recommending Dan to our friends and family going forward!

Dan is extremely personable and was responsive to our needs

We met Dan through Zillow and had spoken with several other agents before deciding Dan was the person we wanted to work with. Dan is extremely personable and was responsive to our needs during the buying and selling process. Buying and selling at the same time can be extremely stressful and Dan's expertise in both areas really alleviated much of this. He always got right back to us even when he was clearly very busy. I would say Dan's strongest skill is his ability to negotiate. I think he understands the process and the market in the Greater Boston Area extremely well and he is also good at reading people, leading to an unmatched aptitude for negotiations.

Working with Dan was a joy

Dan was a referral from our mortgage lender and we could not be happier. He was extremely available via both phone and email and was always quick to respond to any inquiries we had. He brought a large amount of knowledge to the process and was always prepared with information about the homes we were interested in as well as the towns and neighborhoods they were in. Before every meeting he had clearly done his research and due diligence. Working with Dan was a joy and we will gladly do it again for our next home sale/purchase.

Dan is the best!

As first-time home buyers, we needed a lot of help and had a ton of questions. Dan was a great resource and a huge help every step of the way. He helped us win with our first offer in a very competitive market through his experience and local market knowledge. He was extremely responsive to all our questions, and handled all negotiations with ease. We will be using Dan for all future real estate transactions, and 100% recommend him to everyone! Dan is the best!

Dan Gorfinkle: Honest and Professional Agent

We count ourselves very lucky to have had Dan Gorfinkle as our agent. He understood that we - retired Europeans looking for a house in the Newton area - were faced with a very different housing market from the one we were used to. Dan with infinite patience and skill guided us through the whole buying process, taking us around a great many houses and explaining a.o. the bewildering process of how offering over asking price may still not get you the property. He was also very responsive and quick in replying to our many calls and emails - in fact we wondered whether he ever stopped working - and negotiated a good deal for us on the house we ultimately bought. If you are looking for an honest and professional agent who is also very pleasant to deal with you cannot do better that work with Dan Gorfinkle.

I Was Exceptionally Happy I referred Dan to 2 other condo owners.

This is the second time I've sold a piece of property and each time I go through the process of reaching out to various local Real Estate Agencies to interview different agents so that I can find the best fit for me. After interviewing a representative from the big agencies in Brookline, I decided to go with Dan to sell my condo. Dan is very aggressive and proactive when it comes to the real estate game and did a good job coming up with a game plan for selling the condo as well as executing that game plan. In the end I settled on an above ask offer that was agreed to a week after I listed the property.

I was happy enough with the job that Dan performed that I referred him to two other owners in my building who ended up working with him as well.

Dan is easily one of the best brokers I have ever worked with.

We actually had a broker we had worked with for years before we met Dan. Dan asked for the opportunity to win our business and came prepared with unique thoughts about our property, neighborhood, timing, etc. He also came prepared with data to demonstrate his historical success.

Although his data was compelling, we still had some hesitation but decided to go with Dan.

We could not be happier that we chose to work with Dan.

Dan is thoughtful in his preparation of the property - and his expertise is most evident when it comes to negotiations. He is genius.

Dan achieved a sale price beyond our wildest expectations. So much so that when he called to tell me the offer, I literally did not believe him.

Beyond that, Dan was masterful in helping through closing. Many things happened behind the scenes - Dan was mindful when to manage things on his own and when he needed to involve us. I was appreciative that Dan really understood his role and is probably one of the few brokers who actually earns his commission - and then some.

I cannot speak highly enough about Dan. He is easily one of the best brokers I have ever worked with.

Dan has been key in setting us up for success.

I would like to warmly recommend Dan for your Real Estate quests.

We met Dan through Zillow a couple of months ago while investigating the house market opportunities in Brookline MA.

He has been truly fantastic, so good that our collaborative work has recently lead us to own our first property. Dan has been key in setting us up for success. He is highly responsive and connected and truly helped us jumping through the administrative loops as well as understanding and adjusting to the market.

In addition, Dan has built a network of great people in capacity to help with ancillary business (move, home improvement etc), which definitely helped us making things happen in a challenging time for us (new baby due at the time of closing and move) with high quality and efficiency.

We are very grateful to him and his team and wish to others to have the chance to work with him!

Dan is a valuable resource in anyone's corner.

When purchasing our primary residence several years ago we were referred to Dan by a relative who's also a real estate agent. We found Dan to be poised, knowledgeable and dedicated to our needs. Pleased with his performance shortly after closing we referred Dan to friends who chose to engage him as well.

Most recently, Dan assisted us with the purchase of an investment property near Boston College. Armed with a deep understanding of our preferences he monitored the market and notified us once the right opportunity became available. Being quick to act Dan secured us a showing before most others even had a chance to schedule an appointment. This gave us a real advantage when it came to making an offer. Dan put his strong negotiating skills to work and successfully negotiated a final price below asking -- especially impressive given that most deals in the area seem to go above asking.

As a trusted advisor for the past two years Dan has referred us to several others who have helped us along the way, including a banker, lawyer, financial advisor, electrician and painter. Dan is a valuable resource in anyone's corner.

Dan is the best

Dan is the best. We used him to buy our house and to sell our condo.

We were buying in a very competitive market. We had already been outbid several times before working with Dan. When we found the perfect house, Dan was key in helping is get it. His knowledge of the process, advice on how to set ourselves apart from other bidders, and great reputation secured the deal. We would NOT have our house if it were not for Dan.

When selling our condo, Dan helped with great advice on how to get the unit ready. He brought in a very skilled photographer too. We sold quickly with multiple offers. We did well with Dan's help.

Dan negotiated like a pro, sold our place quickly above asking

Dan negotiated like a pro, sold our place quickly and for more than we listed. Best real estate agent we've had! We listed in May and closed early July and were very pleased with the outcome. I would definitely recommend him to others.

Dan is hardworking, knowledgeable about market trends

Dan has helped me now with a Third purchase and the Sale of my townhouse. Dan is hardworking, knowledgeable about market trends and helped me make the right decisions at every turn in the process. My first purchase was a small condo in Watertown, Dan took me to dozens of listings as we narrowed in on the perfect place. The second purchase was a bit easier for Dan as I knew exactly what I wanted, a townhouse outside the city. This third purchase was a single family home with my fiance. When it came time to pull the trigger he helped guide us along the way and worked hard to make sure every element was done correctly with our best interests as his primary focus. My fiance was skeptical at first having not worked with him before, she gave me the "All Realtors are the same..." After working with Dan on this recent purchase she's changed that to "Dan is the Best!". I will continue to refer my friends and family to him whenever they are looking for an agent.
