I greatly enjoyed working with Dan during my family's home buying process; he demonstrated a high level of knowledge and expertise along each step of the way. Specifically, Dan was sure to look at each home with our best interest at heart. And when we were ready to put in an offer, he provided superb negotiation skills to help us submit a competitive yet fair offer. Dan really provided a 'one stop shop' type of service; he had fantastic recommendations for a mortgage lender, an inspector, etc. I give Dan my HIGHEST recommendation and would certainly work with him again!!!

Dan helped my husband and I search for homes. He was extremely client-centered, as we asked to go through *quite* a few homes before we found: the one. He helped us put in an offer, negotiate with counter-offers, one of which got accepted, and then navigate the entire process. His response time was amazing- it always felt like we were his number one priority (even though I know he had other clients too!). We are now a couple weeks into our new home and could not be happier. Thanks, Dan!

I worked with Dan to purchase my first house and he was extremely professional, patient, and helpful. He does not try to force you to make a decision. We looked at over 30 different homes before I decided which one to purchase and when it came to securing a loan he was even more helpful. While going through any house he always points out things to consider when making an offer. The home I purchased was in need of serious repair therefore the banks were very stingy about providing a loan even though I was puuting 20% down. Dan connected me with someone who helped me understand how to purchase this home without taking out a construction loan and ended up doing a conventional loan.Things have changed since 2009 however Dan is incredibly knowledgable about not only finding you the home you are looking for but can assiist in various other ways.

Dan was a beyond excellent real estate agent! I recently purchased my first home, and Dan guided me through the entire process. After I described to him the style of house, location, and price range I was interested in, he frequently sent me property listings - sometimes multiple times in one day! I was very particular when looking at homes, and Dan patiently went through at least 60-70 houses with me. Dan meticulously inspected each house we went through and pointed out various things that could potentially impact the resale of a home and potential areas that would need to be fixed. At one house, he pointed out it was near rental properties and that can sometimes affect the resale of the home. He also pointed out in one home that the sellers were burning several candles in the basement, which covered up a moldy smell. Dan also would point out various things in several houses that would need fixing relatively soon like appliances, windows, and roofing. Because Dan does a lot of projects around his own home, he was able to accurately estimate the cost of most of those fixes. When I finally found my house, Dan was integral in the negotiation process. He was able to negotiate the inclusion of some lawn maintenance equipment into the sale. When the selling agent neglected to include these items during the signing of the contract, Dan made sure he the agent did not forget! Above all, Dan donates a portion of the proceeds from the buying or selling of a home to a charity of your choice. I thought this was an amazing perk that I have never heard any other real estate agent practicing. Overall, I would highly recommend Dan for any real estate needs!

Dan was extremely helpful from start to finish and beyond. He made the first time home-buying experience an absolute breeze. We looked at so many houses, and Dan was right there with us letting us know what we should look out for, and what was good about the properties. I really appreciated all of his insight and eagerness to find our home. Dan was there every step of the way, and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy or sell.

I met Dan through a friend, and after playing volleyball a few year with him, I asked him to help me buy a condo. The process went better than I thought, even though it was my first home purchase. I will certainly be looking for Dan's help when we sell our condo in a few years!

Dan was a wonderful property manager at the condo unit located at: Manchester Lane APT 24Lake-Mills, WI 53551He was always very responsive to any questions I may have had. The property itself was very accommodating and a great price for the location. Upon the completion of my lease agreement, the transition out of the condo unit was very thorough, very timely and accommodating. I highly recommend doing business with Dan Barnish. Sincerely,Justin

I have been through the real estate buy, sell, relocate process a few times. Looking at the numerous agents we used Dan stands out for a number of reasons.First, he has an unique ability to point out floor plan flaws, odd overhead light placements, and other things which could go unnoticed to emotional buyers.Secondly, he is extremely patient. My wife and I looked at 60 - 70 houses before Dan helped us find our home. Many times we were excited about a particular house (emotion driven) Dan pointed out things to consider, which lead to us deciding to continue the search. He was more concerned with our long term satisfaction then earning a quick commission.Thirdly, he is a tough negotiator. We got top dollar for the property we recently sold and he was able to help us negotiate a great price and terms for our home. Oh yeah, in the most challenging real estate market of our time.My only regret is Dan is our most recent real estate agent and not our first. I would highly recommend Dan's services whether you are looking for a residence or investment property.Kurt Maltby

Dan did a fantastic job of marketing our home and getting it sold! He made the entire process a smooth and enjoyable one, and I would highly recommend him to other sellers or buyers in the market!

I knew Dan for years before he was my real estate agent. The trust that he built in his private life caries easily and naturally into his role as a real estate agent.He has remarkable responsiveness, even taking calls when driving his son to State sports tournaments. He's also a great resource in all areas when searching for a home. His no nonsense, no pressure approach was a breath of fresh air.
