What My Clients Say About Me:
“Dan is a professional in relation to the concepts of real estate. He was well prepared in
relation to our real estate transaction and very informative along the way during my
real estate purchase. He is a trustworthy and knowledgeable real estate agent”
– Cindy Hubbard, Wheat Ridge, CO
“Dan has sold one home for me and found my current home for me. He is an expert in
his field and works extremely hard for all his clients. He knows the Denver area
market inside and out plus all of the suburbs surrounding the metro area. Dan gets
results in a hurry. He sold my former home in a few weeks (in a bad market) and
found me another in no time. Both closings happened in a hurry as well. I highly
recommend Dan as a real estate professional. He does a fantastic job!”
– Vince VanZago, Frederick, CO
“Dan Hopper is the best real estate professional we have had the pleasure to work with.
He has sold us two great properties, the second of which we continue to live in for almost
5 years. He works with his clients in identifying their needs and wants, and quickly
matches them in the area of town where they want to live.”
-- Linda Hullett, Brighton, CO
“Dan is professional, and provides results. He did my short sale and gave me the results I
needed to get out of the home I was upside down in. A win, win for all that were involved.”
