If you can envision your goals, you have made the first step toward achieving them … followed by sustained follow-through and skill.

That’s the lesson at work with Dan Reynolds.

As a REALTOR® with Chamberlain Realty, Dan is adept at seeing what’s possible and then pursuing answers and action on behalf of those around him.

Family Impact

Dan’s introduction to real estate was serendipitous, sparked by personal experiences rather than a lifelong dream. In January 2012, he and his wife, Kimberly, bought their first home. The experience of navigating the housing market and working with their REALTOR® left a lasting impression. 

“We thought it was an interesting industry,” Dan recalls. “We wondered if we could do this also and set ourselves apart in terms of service.”

Kimberly, who also became a REALTOR® around the same time as Dan, shared his vision. Together, they embarked on a journey to redefine the real estate experience, aiming to bring their unique touch to the industry.

Dedicated Efforts

Entering real estate in the fall of 2016, Dan quickly realized that success in the industry doesn’t come overnight.

“Real estate is a slow burn to get going,” he explains. “I didn’t close my first deal until 2017.” 

The initial years were a learning curve, but Dan and Kimberly’s perseverance paid off. Now, eight years into their careers, their hard work has translated into impressive achievements.

Together, Dan and Kimberly have closed 356 deals, recording a sales volume of $89.6 million. In 2023 alone, they managed $22.7 million in sales across 85 deals. For Dan individually, the numbers are equally impressive: 263 deals and $64.9 million in sales volume.

Serving Those Who Have Served

One of the hallmarks of Dan’s career is his dedication to serving VA clients. Of the 356 deals he and Kimberly have closed, 268 were with VA buyers. Dan himself has handled 202 VA deals throughout his career. 

“One of the big things for us is working with VA clients,” he says. “We want to make sure that things are as low-stress as possible.”

Dan’s commitment to making the home-buying process as seamless as possible reflects his broader philosophy of service. He believes in minimizing stress and providing clear guidance to ensure a smooth transaction for all his clients.

A Love for Real Estate

For Dan, real estate offers a unique sense of satisfaction. 

“My favorite thing about real estate is that there is a defined beginning and end to every transaction,” he shares. 

Unlike other professions where projects can drag on indefinitely or fizzle out, real estate transactions come with a clear end goal—closing. 

“Having that sense of accomplishment is big for me,” Dan adds.

This love for the process is easy to see in his interactions with clients. Dan’s easygoing nature and personable approach make him a pleasure to work with.

 “I like to treat people like people,” he says. “Let’s just talk about what’s going on and what’s happening with your house search.”

Family Foundation

Away from the office, Dan’s life revolves around his family. He and Kimberly are parents to three boys, aged 6, 8, and 10, who keep their lives busy and joyful. 

The family shares a love for Disney World, where they create cherished memories together. 

“I’m a technology nerd at heart,” Dan confesses, and this passion for technology complements how he approaches real estate.

Helpful Advice

Drawing from his background, Dan offers valuable advice to newcomers in the industry. 

“One of the things that we learned in software development is that the enemy of done is better,” he explains. 

This concept, which emphasizes avoiding perfectionism to prevent paralysis by analysis, is particularly relevant in real estate.

Dan encourages aspiring REALTORS® to embrace imperfection and take action. 

“You don’t want to be reckless by any means, but don’t be afraid to try,” he advises. “Some days I wake up and I may be tired. It’s good to just try … start calling people and you may have some meaningful phone calls.”

Creativity and perseverance are also key themes in Dan’s advice. He cites a quote from Star Trek’s Captain Picard: “To say you have no choice is a failure of imagination.” Dan believes that even when faced with challenges, it’s essential to think creatively and explore alternative solutions.
