Mission Statement

"In every situation, we put ourselves in your shoes. We focus on giving you the same level of care and attention in the sale or purchase of your home as we use in the buying or selling of our own home. We strive to exceed your expectations! Our goal is to be your real estate consultant for life!"

Dan's business philosophies are the following:

You'll know that I always put your best interests first before, during and after your transaction. I'll tell you what you NEED to hear; not what you may want to hear.

You'll define what's important to you. Then we'll form a strategy to keep you focused on your needs.

You'll have a skilled negotiator working on your behalf. I'll treat your money like it's my money; getting you the best price and terms possible.

You'll benefit by my keeping abreast of the latest trends in the real estate market, because what works today may not work tomorrow. My network of top-producing Realtors and lenders locally and nation-wide keeps me on the cutting edge of technology and marketing, so that you'll benefit in the end.

You'll receive timely and consistent communication, so that you're never in the dark about what's happening with your transaction. You need to know immediately if a problem has arisen and what can be done to correct it.

You'll be happy to know that I'll never "sell" you anything. Any decisions are totally up to you. I view myself as your trusted consultant, who can help you through the maze of buying and selling real estate.

You'll have the comfort of knowing that if you ever encounter a problem or have any questions, I'm only a phone call away. Too many people deal with a one-time transactional agent...here today, gone tomorrow. That won't happen with me. I know how to find a solution for you through my resources.

You'll know that you're not alone. I've helped hundreds of people buy and sell their homes and I've been through just about every type of situation imaginable.

You'll receive value-added services; to include special offers, free consultations, expert advice, contractor recommendations and more. Putting you in touch with the best people possible in any field will allow you timely results and fewer problems.

You'll be glad to refer your family and friends to me, because I'll take great care of them. I realize that recommending someone close to you is a risk that you don't want to "come back and bite you". That's why I'll keep you updated on what's happening with your referrals.

Cincinnati Ohio Real Estate Expert

I have been involved in residential sales of existing homes and new construction in the greater Cincinnati area since 1985.

I counsel both buyer and seller clients and strive to help them determine the best strategies for their individual situations.

I also teach home buying and home selling classes to the general public (http://www.HomeBuyingClass.com) and have been doing so since 1987.

A lot of my business now is repeat and referral business as well as Realtor referrals from around the country. I always have an initial consultation with the potential client to determine if I can help them achieve their real estate needs. If I believe that a referral to another agent is best-advised based on location or the client's motivation, I will make the referral. I have a network of local real estate professionals, who I can call upon to assist my clients, for example, if a referral wants to purchase an investment property, that's not my specialty, so I refer them to my investment property specialist. I believe in having a quality base of active clients - a manageable number of clients at one time vs. having too much quantity. I only represent the number of clients I feel I can handle at one time.

Instead of being a real estate 'sales'person, I consider myself to be a real estate consultant, who will guide my clients throught the real estate process by giving them valued advice and then it's up to my clients to determine what decisions they want to make.

Cincinnati Real Estate Success Stories

Our home had previously been on the market for 3 months with another Realtor and had not sold. Then Dan became our Realtor and sold our house in 4 days! Dan had good suggestions to make our house more salable and it worked!

- Scott & Debbie Williams, Colerain Twp


Thanks for helping me find my house. I appreciated your honesty, dedication and sense of humor. I enjoyed working with you. I'm proud to be part of your "Client For Life Club".

- Deb Gorney, Springdale


Prior to meeting Dan, our home had been listed with another real estate company. That Realtor wanted us to lower our list price again. I had been given Dan's name by a friend and we discussed our situation with him. I felt we didn't need to lower our price. Dan agreed...and sold our home within two weeks!

- Bob & Bonnie Duncan, Milford


We would like to thank you for all of your hard work helping us become new home owners. Your time and knowledge were invaluable throughout the past few months and we're already enjoying the house so much. We are very busy making it our own. We believe we're very fortunate to have had such a smooth experience. We feel your patience and willingness to do what needed to be done were great factors in making the process a complete success.

- RJ & Becky Oliver, Reading


Great home marketing...good follow-up on showings! Having relocated numerous times, Dan was one of the most thorough and professional Realtors we've ever had. He's an asset to his profession!

- Tim & Christine Korosec


We just wanted to take the time to personally thank you for all your help with the purchase of our new home. We've never been happier and we truly appreciated all your honesty and tact in our decision-making process. We couldn't have asked for a better agent - you were always patient and helpful and we really felt like we could rely on you.

- Keith & Rose VandenEynden, Springdale


We just wanted to take the time to thank you helping us find our home. You made the whole process so much easier, making phones calls, answering questions and helping us make some decisions when we weren't quite sure what to do.

- Rick & Barb Mygrant, White Oak


Called back immediately!...Was prompt!...Good listener!...Not pushy!...Dan kept always listened to our needs and made appropriate suggestions. He sold our home the 1st week on the market and was extremely helpful in our search for a new home.

- Tim & Sheri Mullarkey, Mount Washington


Thank you so much for your work and patience in selling our property in Sharonville. After making multiple trips to Wilmington and having to go to closing twice, I know it wasn't a piece of cake!

- Phil & Barbara Singleton, Wilmington


Thanks for going "above and beyond" the call of duty! Your professional ethics and courtesies are what gives our real estate industry a more respected reputation.

- Marie Simpson, Star One Realtors


Dan used imaginative marketing strategies and kept me informed on what was happening with each showing. He greatly reduced my anxiety level. He even looked after my condo and closing when I had to leave town early. You couldn't ask for a more concerned and professional Realtor!

- Gil Beatty, Sharonville


Dan was recommended by a family member. He did a very professional job selling our home. He kept us informed and helped us through a difficult buyer's inspection and last-minute sale cancellation when our first buyer rescinded their offer. He sold our home again in less than two weeks. Dan knows his business and we'd use him again.

- John & Ann Miller, Amelia


There are simply no words that can express how much I appreciate you and all you have done for me. Thank you not laughing when I told you how much I could comfortably spend. Thank you for never trying to nudge me into a higher price range. Thank you for treating the purchase of my little condo with the same importance and enthusiasm as if I had spent a million plus. Thank you for providing me with the same top quality service you provide to "the bigger spenders". Thank you for teaching me through the process vs. selling to me. As a single female, raised by a good ole' southern family - where the women keep house, raise the babies and the men do all the business deals - I felt completely lost, overwhelmed and frightened at the thought of doing this myself. Thank you for turning this from a daunting task to an exciting adventure. Thank you for looking out for my best interest from start to finish. I love my new home - thanks from the bottom of my heart for helping me achieve one of my dreams.

- Rhonda Thomas, Mason


Until we listed with Dan, we hated to even answer the phone. The professionalism that Dan showed gave us our sanity back. He did a tremendous job promoting and selling our home. His honesty and friendliness made selling our house a lot easier than when it was listed with another company.

- Eric & Tina Reichert, Glendale


Working with Dan was both a privilege and a pleasure. Dan's honesty and friendly manner made him very easy to work with. Dan worked very quickly yet thoroughly to help me meet deadlines I had set for the purchase of my home. He always answered my phone calls promptly, coordinated events expertly, was always accessible and commendably followed up with me after closing to see that my move went smoothly.

- Joseph Giannuzzi, Silverton


We're pleased and surprised to sell our 11 year condo, that we had only owned for 3 years, for $30,000 more than we had paid.

- Bill & Mary Kay Maynor, Loveland


Dan stuck with me for a year and a half while I searched for that "right" home. He never pressured me or made me feel like he was getting tired of each house I rejected. He got to know me and soon learned what I liked and didn't like. He advised me appropriately and kept in touch with me regularly. In the end, I found the right house and he was happy for me.

- Maureen Fink, Mt Healthy


Thanks for your hard work! My old neighbors told us that you worked hard and sincerely. They also encouraged us that your hard work can sell our house quickly. Your smile, open mindedness and communication skills took vital role in selling my house.

- Sang & Insook Kim, Symmes Twp


Being first-time homeowners, we knew there was a lot of learn and a few roadblocks to overcome. Dan was with us every step of the way and offered much needed advice and support when we needed it - especially after two offers fell through. The market was moving quickly and Dan kept up with the pace. His knowledge of real estate, honesty and flexibility were extremely appreciated.

- Alan & Sandy Guile, Finneytown


Tony and I want to extend our sincere gratitude to you your outstanding service in helping us sell our condo in Milford. Trust, integrity and professionalism were the main qualities we were looking for in a Realtor. You have all those qualities and more I always felt confident that you were handling the details behind the scene. You always returned calls quickly.

- Tony & Therese Taphorn, Milford


I saw the property we thought would be the right one for us. I fell in love with it. Then I asked Dan if he could show it to my husband again at 9pm the same night, because he was going out of town the next day for 2 weeks. After my husband saw it, we made an offer the next morning. After the owners accepted our offer, they had 2 other offers coming in the same day. If it wasn't for Dan's eagerness to help, we would have lost our dream home to other bidders. This is our 3rd home and it was by far the fastest, easiest and most pleasant deal we've ever had. Dan was friendly and helpful without ever being pushy.

- Barnabas & Eniko Fekete, Montgomery


Dan did a great job helping us with our new home. We moved from Columbus and Dan consistently contacted us about any new listings while we were still out of town. He always made time for us when we came into town to look at homes. It took us awhile to decide on a house (finally choosing to build new), but Dan was always very patient. He gave great advice related to building.

- Joe & Mary Luria, Deerfield Twp


Dan came to our aid after our home had been on the market for 6 months with another Realtor. During that time, we had 10 showings and no offers. Dan provided us with suggestions on improving the marketability of our home, which we implemented immediately. Within 4 weeks of listing our home with Dan, we received an acceptable offer for our home.

- Steve & Jackie Fiora, Eastgate


Since we were relocating from Texas and on a limited timetable to find a home, we were nervous. In my past experiences, it was sometimes difficult to reach successful agents, who were always busy, but I had no such problems with Dan. My calls were always returned quickly and Dan made himself available when we were on a tight schedule.

- Ron & Connie Preston, West Chester


Thank you so much for your patience and understanding with us. You probably thought we were never going to buy a home, but in the end, we did it! We appreciate your honesty, giving us advice on which homes have a good resale value, because it's very important for us, being empty-nesters and a few years away from retirement.

- Ted & Susan Kohan, Blue Ash


Both my wife and I were extremely pleased with Dan, our Realtor and the high level of service that was extended to us. Unlike most agents we've dealt with, Dan seemed more interested in meeting our personal needs rather than pushing for a quick sale. He was very familiar with the market and helpful in answering all of our questions. As busy as he is, Dan always had the time to cater to our every need. In the beginning...I worried a little bit about the fact of Dan being able to work with us and the seller. Dan's effective and fair style soon erased any doubt we had. We were extremely pleased with the service we received and will gladly send any referrals to Dan.

- Tim & Shannon Petry, Monfort Heights


I can't say enough about the service I received from Dan and his team. This was my first time buying a home and Dan was knowledgeable and patient during each step of the process. I really appreciated the fact that Dan is very aware of his clients' busy schedules. I was traveling a lot during the time period I was looking for a home. His availability made it easy for me to move quickly when checking out new listings. He took care of a number of additional items that saved me time. For example, making a number of calls and then presenting me multiple options to pick from for a mortgage company. He also hooked me up with a home inspector and made recommendations on contractors. Dan's service didn't stop at the closing. It's been 5 months since my closing and there's been a number of occasions where Dan has helped me out on different issues.

- Jeff Stechschulte, Mount Lookout


I have utilized Dan Weis for both buying and selling homes within a 2 year period. The performance of Dan Weis and his team were consistently excellent in both services. I did a lot of looking before settling on my new home and Dan always afforded the time I needed. I never felt rushed or pushed or like I was becoming a "nuisance" for not deciding more quickly. In both buying and selling, I had complete confidence that all the documents and details were being properly researched and prepared. There was not a hitch in either transaction. After previously working with inexperienced and unprepared Realtors, I was surprised and impressed at how smoothly the process flowed with Dan. I hope there's a "Dan Weis" wherever I move throughout the country!

- Janet Lombardo, Forest Park


Dan is truly reliable and professional. During the time of our purchase, he was dealing with two incredibly stressful and personal situations - though you would never have known that by the way he put our concerns first. Moving from out of town with time constraints, Dan was a big help at making contacts with builders as well as conferring with us. We greatly appreciated all his hard work and will highly recommend him.

- Rob & Kristen Scott, Amelia


My house had been on the market with another Realtor for 6 months without one offer. Then I listed with Dan and it sold very quickly, despite the Christmas holiday slow-down. I was caught unprepared for such a quick sale, but Dan made time to show me houses whenever I could take the time. Dan was very patient with my need to find an area that would accommodate my commute to work and still not be too far from family. With just enough time to spare for moving, Dan showed me a beautiful house with the room I wanted and the lovely treed lot I'd been hoping to find. Once the paperwork was underway, Dan showed his expertise, staying on top of the entire process involved in my same-day, 2 house closings. I was kept informed and Dan also provided recommendations for anything I needed regarding home services...everything from mortgage companies to home inspectors...allowing me to choose from experienced people with excellent records; as I didn't personally know anyone who could have provided those services. I am very pleased with Dan and would highly recommend him to any of my friends who need a real estate advisor.

- Karen O'Donnell, Milford


Dan provided a very professional and personal service to us during a recent home sale. He made several trips to our home in order to sign documents. This may be a standard procedure to his clients, but to us, he exceeded our expectations in offering quality customer service. Dan's knowledge of the marketplace and his excellent problem-solving skills made this transaction a success.

- Jim & Brenda Wesley, West Chester


This was my first time dealing with a real estate agent and considering all the horror stories I've heard, I was pleasantly surprised by Mr. Weis. He was always polite and friendly and kept me up to speed on the progress of selling my mother's home. It was a complicated transaction as the other person on the deed lived out of town and did not want to be found. I found Mr. Weis to be patient, understanding and extremely helpful and effective in solving this problem. Thanks to the experience with Mr. Weis, I now have a real estate agent for life, if the occasion should ever arise. I would highly recommend Mr. Weis and his team to anyone.

- Tom & Ruby Bareswilt, Sharonville


This was a hard move for us. We were moving 4 hours away from family and friends. Dan spent quite a few Saturdays showing me many homes. Dan was very patient and courteous. I knew what I wanted in a home for our 3 children, but we were having a hard time finding that perfect home. It didn't help that we needed to be in a certain school district. After looking at around 100 homes, we found the "Perfect" home! Without Dan, I don't think I would've been as content as I was. Thanks, Dan, for making us happy and finally making it possible for the 5 of us to be a family again after 15 months!

- Rick & Jill Murphy, Fairfield


It was scary buying a house. Can we do it? Can we afford it? What are we looking for and where? Will it be right for our family? Dan made all these scary thoughts look so easy to do. He helped us in everything and made sure that we were very happy with our decision. Dan did an outstanding performance for us as it was like you were buying the house yourself and wanted everything perfect.

- Terry & Sharon Day, West Chester


Stephanie and I want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your assistance in handling the sale of our home in West Chester as well as all you have done for us during the past two years while we were here in Cincinnati. When we had to relocate due to a career move, your professionalism and integrity convinced us that you were the logical choice to help us sell our home. You possess an innate ability to listen closely to the customer's needs and to translate those needs into tangible results. We very seldom trust anyone to handle our financial transactions in our absence, but we felt completely comfortable with granting you power of attorney to handle our closing. We were able to avoid the inconvenience of returning to Ohio to oversee the closing since we had already relocated to Atlanta, GA area. In addition, your attention to detail and follow-up is unsurpassed. We sincerely your help in canceling our utilities and attending to other details to help maintain the appearance of our home in our absence. Your focus on customer satisfaction truly puts you in the "World Class" category. We would be more than happy to serve as a reference for you. Thanks again for all you have done. Our only regret is that you not here in Georgia to help us. We have yet to find a real estate agent of your caliber. We realize now that we've been spoiled and we probably set expectations too high because of you.

- Adam & Stephanie Lowe, West Chester


Dan went the "extra mile" in finding the home we wanted and hustled to secure it for us. On the day we put a contract on our new home, Dan made sure everything was complete and final by stopping by our apartment after 11:00pm that night. He was with us every step of the way. His expertise was invaluable in finding us a home that was even beyond our highest expectations.

- Bill & Linda Johnson, West Chester


We would recommend Dan Weis to anyone who wants to work with a decent, honest real estate agent. His home buyer class was very helpful as we knew nothing about the process of home buying. Dan was very upfront and knowledgeable. Dan was very instrumental in the successful negotiation of our contract offer. When questions came up, he was always prompt in responding to our calls. We feel lucky to have found Dan!

- Tim & Jen Valachovic, Landen


I am a single person and as such wanted a Realtor who could represent me and answer my questions and concerns truthfully and honestly. I feel Dan did a superb job in this area.

- Ellen Masters, Springdale


When my wife and I started talking about buying our first home, I saw an ad for a "free" home buying seminar. Since I didn't know anything at all about buying a house, I decided to go. I admit that I was a little apprehensive at first. For one thing it said "free" and second I figured that whoever was conducting this seminar would try to take advantage of me once they figured out that I didn't know a thing about buying a house. So I put up my guard and went. As soon as I walked in and met Dan for the first time, I just felt welcome. You know how some people you meet, you get a good feeling about? Dan is that type of person. He started talking and I started taking notes. Even though there were 10 or more people at that class, I felt like it was a "one on one". Any time I or anyone else had a question, he took his time to answer and made sure that we understood it before moving on. Between what Dan and his guest speakers had to say, I left with every tool I needed to buy our first home. We decided, without hesitation, to have Dan help us when we were ready to buy. From day one, he was there for us. He contacted us regularly, to keep us informed of the progress. He always answered our questions and concerns. I can't imagine that buying a home could go any smoother. And it didn't stop after we closed on our house. We not only gained a home, but we gained a "Friend for life". It's been 4 years since we closed and we still receive newsletters with important tidbits of information from re-financing, interest rate changes, weatherization tips, etc. And phone calls checking to see if everything is still OK. I refer everyone I know to Dan and I'm most proud that I referred my sister to Dan and she's working with him to buy her first home.
