Dan was wonderful to work with and really helped me with his local knowledge as well as some unexpected hiccups along the way. If I ever have to sell, or buy again, I would absolutely reach out to Dan again without a moments hesitation!

Dan's local insight and genuine appreciation for the home I'd lived in for 25 years made him an invaluable partner -- he saw what was special and unique about the house, ensuring that the buyer could appreciate those details too. His expertly curated marketing, including a standout photographer, led to a sale that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Dan to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Berkshires!

Dan Alden helped us find and secure our dream--a cabin in the Berkshires. It's a really unique place and Dan guided us through every single aspect of the purchase, from first visit to negotiation to inspection through to closing. He was constantly available, by text message, phone and email, and adeptly fielded many, many questions. Dan's knowledge of the Berkshires and the real estate market here is extensive, and this extends to a wide network of friends and colleagues that he can recommend for almost every need, from finding an attorney to an inspector, to a bank mortgage, to practicalities like gutter companies. We came to really trust Dan's recommendations because whoever he recommended turned out to be professional, reasonably priced, and exactly what we were looking for. Because of Dan's chain of recommendations we got a much better mortgage rate through a local bank, which we didn't realize was possible. When we had a heating issue come up soon after closing, which is inevitable in an older place, and we couldn't find anyone to come out at short notice, Dan immediately called an HVAC person he knows well and the problem got fixed immediately: This was a kindness, as Dan's obligations to us were already completed, and yet it wasn't a surprise as Dan always went above and beyond for us as clients. Dan's approach to the complexities of real estate is to stay open, in other words, he really listens to his clients. He shared our vision, too, which was deeply impressive in a tight market. It was obvious that he found joy, too, in seeing us get close to exactly what we wanted. Dan takes great satisfaction in his work; it's not just a job for him but a calling, something he loves doing. We couldn't be happier with our cabin, it's a dream come true. Overall, we loved working with Dan and can't recommend him highly enough.

A friend recommended Dan Alden after she bought land he found for her prefab house. She said he had astonishing knowledge (of the Berkshires, of how houses are built, of why land is good or bad); he was totally honest and a lovely man we'd like dealing with. YES, YES, YES! Dan found us the wonderful house we just bought. He understands what his client is looking for and doesn't waste time showing you things you'll hate. We are grateful for his kindness, thorough knowledge of how a house is built and maintained, negotiation skills, and good spirit. We recommend him without hesitation.

Daniel was professional, timely, communicative and knowledgeable from day one. Our family was selling a life-long vacation home so it was very emotional for us. Dan was patient and kind, while simultaneously working tirelessly to get the house sold to the right buyer, which he accomplished in 90 days. He made the process as smooth and painless as possible.
