Client Testimonials

I can't say enough good things about Dan. He was genuine, informative and personable from day one. I've been house shopping via the Internet for nearly a year. When I finally settled on Denver by happenstance, Dan came into my options of realtors. From our first phone call, I knew Dan would understand my personality and what I was looking for in a house. Living out of state I thought it would be difficult to find just the right place. Dan was consistently available via phone, zoom or in person. I'll never forget when I flew to Denver to look at a list of houses we'd compiled after a long day- I said I wanted to go back and see a particular house a 3rd time but along with a few friends. Dan was humble, patient and happy to go along. I didn't settle on that house but shortly thereafter, we found the perfect house. I was out of state at the time but Dan made it work despite NOT being the highest bidder, somehow, Dan got me the house. No joke.

Dan was excellent to work with in purchasing our first home. He was super easy to communicate with and answered every question we had. He was on top of all of the "admin" stuff on the backend and frequently gave us updates. I always heard that buying a house was a lot of work. But working with Dan it was a much simpler process than I anticipated. Highly recommend to anyone buying their first home or any other home. He is very skilled in negotiating with other the realtor. Could not have asked for a better experience! 

- Tyler & Becky G. | Buyer, Parker

Dan recently helped my wife and me purchase our first home. Throughout the process, Dan is an exceptional resource and a wealth of knowledge. Due to his client-centric approach, we were able to purchase our dream home and experience peace of mind throughout. Dan represented us with integrity, diplomacy, and professionalism. As our trusted representative, he helped navigate the offer process, a detailed inspection resolution, and a quick closing. Further, he excelled in the following attributes and services: House Hunting and Education Dan helped us navigate the dense Denver Metro real estate market, touring several houses with us and reviewing every detail and concern. Further, he compiled video analysis of listings we showed interest in. As first-time buyers new to Colorado, Dan ensured we understood the nuances of Colorado home construction and ownership. Scheduling, Communication, and Organization Dan organized communications through text group chats, phone calls, and e-mail. He consistently responded in a timely and professional manner. Through continuous interfacing with the seller's agent, he addressed any concerns and defended our interest. This was executed transparently, and we always felt “in the know.” Purchase and Inspection After finding our home, Dan quickly worked to draft an offer that was competitive and accepted by the sellers. He then immediately went to work setting up inspections from his extensive network. Post-inspection, he helped us analyze the results, drafting a resolution that addressed key items. He ensured that our interests were advocated for and properly followed through by the Seller. Dan’s expertise and attention to detail ensured our complete confidence in the condition of our new home. Closing and Follow Up Dan took the time to ensure all details were addressed before we signed at the closing. After our purchase, Dan stayed engaged and followed up to ensure our continued satisfaction. We are confident and happy with our home purchase, thanks to Dan Swanson’s hard work. I would recommend Dan to friends, family, or anyone looking to purchase real estate in the Denver Metro. I plan to use Dan for any future real estate needs.

- Brian D. | Buyer, Aurora

My family and I used Dan Swanson to sell our home in Platt Park (Denver, Colorado) that we had owned for 10+ years. Dan was amazing to work with from the beginning. He provided us an in-depth analysis of our home and detailed list of items to complete prior to the listing. During this process and the listing/sale of the home, he was very involved every step of the way. He was extremely knowledgable of our Denver neighborhood and displayed the utmost professionalism throughout. His communication skills during this time we top notch and were especially evident during the sales negotiation.

We ended up going under contract and selling our home for $125,000 over the list price with no concessions on the home. The closing process went very smooth and the new homeowners were pleased with their new home. We would recommend Dan and his team to anyone looking to sell their home in Colorado or looking to purchase a home as well. Thank you Dan for everything and looking forward to working with you again in the future.

- The Davidsons | Seller, Platt Park

Dan Swanson and the Team exceeded all my expectations in helping me find a condo to purchase in Denver, CO. Dan assisted in my search, showings, and finally, the purchase offer and closing of the purchase. I would say that after buying and selling multiple properties that Dan has earned my business for any future real estate transactions in Colorado.

- Greg G. | Buyer, Capital Hill

Dan Swanson was a God send for me on my journey of selling my home. I am in the industry, but nothing could have prepared me for the rollercoaster of emotions and self imposed stress I experienced in selling my home. Dan was with me every step of the way, quelling my fears, validating my feelings, and easing my stress with his positive and calm attitude. His wealth of knowledge of the real-estate market gave me the information I needed to be at peace with any and all decisions I was faced to make. He ALWAYS had my back! This process is not for the faint of heart. With Dan's help, we were able to list, show, accept an amazing offer and close in a very short period of time. I highly recommend Dan for any of your real-estate needs. He Rocks!

- Patty T. | Seller, Aurora

We were referred to Dan when we decided we were going to purchase a home in the Denver suburbs. Not being very familiar with all the neighborhoods around Denver, we needed someone with the right breadth of knowledge who would be able to guide and advise us. During our first meeting with Dan it was very clear that he was our guy. He has a vast understanding of the Denver metro area and was able to quickly synthesize our requirements into a specific search area with houses that fit within our budgetary and aspirational goals. Dan was able to point out potential issues- both positive and negative, like traffic, views, house orientation with respect to the path of the sun, neighborhood amenities, proximity to recreation, etc. on various listings to make us aware of things we would not have ever thought of before touring homes in person.

Dan's interest, enthusiasm, and genuine passion for what he does is clear. He was always available and took the time to preview listings for us with extremely helpful personalized videos that he sent us for each home we were interested in. With Dan's energy and commitment to the search, it didn't take long for us to find the right home. Thanks to Dan's strategic approach and his relationship building with the seller's agent, the offer process was smooth and stress-free. The whole process could not have been more professional and easy to work with all the way through closing. It was such a pleasure getting to know Dan and having such a positive home buying experience!

- Glenn & Gabrielle G. | Buyer, Highlands Ranch

My wife and I were referred to Dan by a close trusted contact to help sell our home in Denver and we could not have been more happy. From the start Dan was fantastic! He brought a level of professionalism and expertise that made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. Dan helped craft a detailed plan based on his experience and market data that resulted in multiple offers within the first day or two of being on the market and ultimately a final closing price over our original ask. The entire process was a breeze even though my wife and I were out of town the week of our closing. We would highly recommend Dan and the team to anyone looking to sell their home.

- Justin S. | Seller, Wash Park

Dan and the team were amazing. Dan helped me buy my first home. They were patient and kind with massively educating me on the process, and guiding me through each step to get the best home for me. Dan is a wonderful person and very good and experienced at what he does. I felt taken care of. Would 100% recommend, you will gain a great person in your life. 

- Michael A. | Buyer, Thornton

I worked with Dan Swanson for purchasing my first home in Denver, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dan and the entire team. He helped me to understand the buyers landscape, and helped me navigate the process of purchasing a new build. Since he had worked with new builds before he told me specific items to look out for and things to be aware of. When there were delays or things that needed to be fixed by the builder he went to bat for me and every single item was resolved. After closing he’s been such a wonderful resource, sharing advice on things to make sure I’m completing within a certain time frame (lots of open ends on a new build!) and in general checking in to make sure I’m settling in well.

I’ve already referred Dan to a few friends of mine thinking about buying, and I feel very confident I’ll work with him again in the future. Trust, honesty, punctuality, and thoroughness are hugely important to me and Dan and the entire team embodied that in spades. I’m so grateful I found him and know he’ll be someone I can always count on for all my real estate advisory needs.

Thanks Dan for being so wonderful. I appreciate all you’ve done so, so much!

- Erika H. | Buyer, Sunnyside

Dan was amazing to work with as first time home buyers. He was 100% available to me and my fiance, answering calls, texts, and what felt like stupid questions on our part! They walked us through every step and were pleasant, knowledgeable, and professional, and always patient, and we never felt rushed or pressured, but rather taken care of. I will definitely be reaching back out to Dan and the Thrive team for my next housing purchase.

- Amy & Bryant | Buyer, Aurora

We found Dan while looking at other homes recently sold in our area. Right off the bat he was friendly, knowledgeable, and very responsive. He helped us navigate the entire selling process. We felt like we were in good hands from our first meeting. Overall the process was very smooth and we sold our house for over asking. The entire team was wonderful and we recommend their services for your buying and selling needs.
