I have been speaking with Dan Smith regarding my property for more than 2 years. He followed up every 6 months with me on my intentions to put the property on the market, and finally we agreed to go through with the sale process. He advised that a combined auction process with other properties from around the region was the best way to go. The process of getting the property listed and open inspections, etc went by without any issues at all. Dan gave very good feedback on each of the groups that were going through the property and some basic level statistics, however could only offer the standard suite offered by the Ray White group, not specific to Ray White Buderim. We had an offer on the property prior to auction and Dan managed this process without any issue (we never got to a negotiated acceptable position). The auction proceeded with a single bidder (same buyer as the original offer) and we ended up settling on a price below the original offer, however given auction conditions, this was an unconditional position and therefore represented better certainty than the original conditional offer. Unfortunately the auction only ended up with a single buyer bidding, never a good place to be as the owner of the property. I do feel like the reasonably standard package of advertising offered by Dan afforded any buyers out there the opportunity to see the listing for our property, but was surprised that we only ended up with a single buyer at the auction in a market that was reasonably buoyant by all accounts. This certainly wasn't our target agreed at listing. Like any property, some features of our property didn't appeal to all buyers. In summary, Dan and team are polite, work hard to go through the process of the listing and auction, have good knowledge of the market, are good sales people and are incentivised with getting a deal done. As the owner, don't forget the role you need to play to maximise the sale price of your property. Agents are agents.

We were very pleased with the result of a sale using dan and Brodie! We will be sure to be using them again in the future. No pressure at all we did what we wanted to do after they gave us all the information!!

I found that Dan and his colleague, Brodie Rodgers, were very helpful in taking me through the process of marketing and selling my property at 72 Mons School Road, Buderim. This included a six week marketing campaign leading up to an auction day followed by a sales campaign when the property sold. At all times both Dan and Brodie were excellent communicators, very polite, and persistent in their endeavours to publicise the assets and unique features of the property. They were relaxed in their approach and always ready to find the time to discuss issues and resolve them. They also were happy to deal with any awkward moments that arose from time to time. Generally, although a bit worrying at times, I found the process was an enjoyable one for me. Brodie also enjoyed being introduced to tasty biltong during his visits to the house. I wish them well in the future.

Dan was a wonderful sea change in the real estate world - honest and lovely to work with. He worked tirelessly and openly and I would really recommend anyone buying or selling to call him.

We would definitely recommend Dan and his associate Brodie Rogers. They are professional, personal and readily available for communication. It gave us confidence to know we were dealing with people with an extensive knowledge of the area and market. We have no hesitation in using their services for buying or selling in this area again.

After spending 90 days with another agent with no written offers and even less communication, Dan and Brodie had a signed contract on our property within approx. 2 weeks. Not only did they have a signed contract but negotiated above our expectations. Brodie was a true professional in every sense. From his presentation, knowledge of the market to his communication with us as the sellers. We would no hesitation to recomend Ray White Buderim and both Dan Smith and Brodie Rodgers as your next agent

Very satisfied with the assistance before, during and after the auction including the rental side.

Excellent communicator and open to views of the client; went the extra step to deliver above expectations. Balanced needs of buyer and seller.

We found Dan to be extremely pleasant and obliging. As we are from interstate we had to rely on Dan more than the average vendor, at at all times he helped out without any question or complaint. He always managed to schedule meetings around our schedule which was vital due to us living interstate. We felt he gave us good sound advise and we would not hesitate to recommend him. We found all the staff at Ray Whites pleasant to deal with.

Hi we were very impressed with the way Brodie presented himself we found him to be a very pleasant young man, we just hope he retains his manner and presentation over the years We feel he will go a long way should he remain himself.

From beginning to end Dan handled the sale of our property expertly. He provided a comprehensive overview of the market giving us a realistic picture and not inflated hopes. His advice on presentation for sale and marketing was excellent and his negotiation skills obtaining a solid price that we accepted after only 2 weeks on the market saved us a lot of hassle. Dan is trustworthy and reliable and our overall experience was very satisfactory. Also special mention to Brodie Rodgers (Dan's sales associate) who also took great care of us throughout the process.
