Dan is the best! We had another realtor before him that dropped the ball for us and then we found…read moreDan, thank goodness! He was extremely quick to respond anytime we reached out with questions, and is very knowledgeable about everything! He helped us get the house we wanted and also walked us through the entire process on fixing up and selling our house. We ended up getting 14 offers on our house, it sold for 20% above asking, and closed 2 weeks after we sold it! I will recommend Dan to anyone in St. Louis looking to buy or sell a house. Not only that, but he's just a really nice person and a pleasure to work with. When it's time to move again, we already know who we're calling :).

I first started working with Dan when I was looking for my first house almost a decade ago. I ended…read moreup buying my cousins house and not requiring his services. But Dan lived in the neighborhood and offered to come by and help me with some new homeowner concerns I had. When I tried to compensate him for his time he politely refused. Fast forward to this year and we had to buy a house sight unseen from across the country. Dan was incredibly helpful in both the search and tying up loose ends so that when we arrived after a 5 day drive, we were set up for success. Little touches like programming new garage door openers and having handymen fix little issues. You will absolutely not regret using Dan for your next house search!

DAN BRASSIL: REALTOR EXTRAORDINAIRE! Searching for a real…read moreestate agent that you can be 100% confident in to meet your home buying goals and timelines? Dan Brassil is your man! My wife and I couldn't have been happier with our decision to work with Dan to help us find and secure our new Saint Louis home. WE DID OUR RESEARCH We did research on about 10 different realtors, interviewed 4, and Dan Brassil was our clear choice. We picked him as he gave an immediate sense of comfort and confidence through his professionalism and deep knowledge of the real estate industry and home buying/selling overall. WORKED ON A TIGHT TIMELINE As out-of-state home buyers, we knew we needed someone who we could trust to have our backs and was equipped to manage virtual home tours and work on our tight schedule. This was a super important factor especially since we only had 2 months to close on a home. GREAT LISTENER & HIGHLY RESPONSIVE Dan listened to all of our preferences, set up our MLS portal in no time, and was incredibly responsive to all the homes we favorited and pointed to the pros and cons of listings we were considering across multiple dimensions like the neighborhood, construction quality, and more. MASTER COORDINATOR OF HOME TOURS We planned one visit to Saint Louis and Dan had lined up 8 homes for us to tour and scheduled them in a way that was most efficient and convenient for our flight schedule. We were highly impressed with his ability to coordinate all the private showings in such a streamlined manner. KNOWLEDGEABLE IN HOME BUILD QUALITY Every home we visited Dan educated us on home construction and pointed out critical facets to watch out for: from the foundation, to drainage, ducting, the types of wiring, flooring, basement integrity, sump drains, cracks in walls, down to the types of bolts used on the deck. Amazing! OUT-OF-STATE FRIENDLY As out-of-state buyers he visited homes on our behalf with his camera and a gyroscope, and uploaded videos to YouTube for us to review in a very timely manner. He made sure to cover every nook and cranny of interest and the virtual tours made us feel like we were actually there. PRIORITIZES YOUR BEST INTERESTS Dan was also highly proficient when it came time to make offers on homes, and had a strong sense of fair market valuations based on comps, and was able to figure out what a strong competitive offer would be based on seller agent intel, and what was just unreasonable. NO-FRILLS NEGOTIATOR When it came time to negotiate the terms of our agreement Dan always gave us multiple options to consider, laid out the pros and cons of each path, and shared his best recommendation. He always made us feel like we were in control even in tough situations. AMAZING NETWORK AND CONNECTIONS Dan is also highly networked in the real estate and home repair ecosystem and put us in touch with an amazing lender, title company, inspectors, and even helped us coordinate minor and more major repairs on the home with high quality contractors we knew we could trust. PERSONAL TOUCH With Dan we didn't feel like our home buying process was transactional in nature. He was always incredibly professional and highly personable and was a pleasure to work with. He made sure we were comfortable in our new home and also offered tons of local recommendations! OUR VERDICT: DAN IS THE MAN! Looking for a realtor you can trust to meet your goals, someone who is highly knowledgeable and professional, knows how to quickly navigate those inevitable curve balls, and always has your best interests in heart and mind? Then go with Dan - 10/10 couldn't recommend more!

It all started when Karen helped my parents sell their house in less than a day…read more.. I reached out to her to see if she'd be willing to come take a look at our house and help us determine what repairs and upgrades we'd need to do to maximize our sale price while minimizing time on the market. She was happy to help and her advice was spot on. We procrastinated and took our time getting our various projects done (that's how we roll), but Karen didn't pressure us, just checked in every few months to see how we were doing, even offering to come back out for another look whenever we were ready. Did I mention our house was in High Ridge? Anyway, about a year after the first visit, we asked her to come back out. Karen helped us make a few more decisions, and we finally landed on a "we'd like to be on the market by this date" date. Once we made it official, Karen listed our house--the pictures were fantastic--and we accepted an offer just about a week after going live. Karen helped us through the negotiation and inspection process too, recommending some really great (and affordable!) companies to do the work. Meanwhile, as our buyer's agent, Karen was ever-so patient with us as we looked at a bunch of houses, then suddenly revised our budget and looked at some more, then suddenly switched target areas and looked at even more. The absolute best thing was how great she is at identifying potential issues. It was kind of like bringing a home inspector along to every showing! We found "the one", made an offer, haggled a bit and yada yada yada, here we are, a year later, in our perfect house in the perfect area. We just couldn't have done it without Karen's help and expertise. AH-MAZING.

This also applies to you buying your new home. I would recommend Karen to everyone I know!
