February 4, 2018 – “I’m writing this review to let it be known that Dan Spano of Sotheby’s International Realty sold our house last summer and did an outstanding job in representing us as our Realtor! Prox a year before the house across the street went up for sale. I stopped by and picked up a flyer in the Realtor sign box and was impressed of the high quality paper and photographs of the property. It was exceptional quality, not just a paper copy. I found out later it was sold in one day! I was impressed with all that and told my wife if we ever decide to sell our house we should use that Company. Also a few weeks later received a flyer of selling that house in our post office box. I saved it to use that information if I ever had to sell my house. The following summer it came to use as we decided to sell our house. I used that flyer information to call Dan Spano and set up an interview at our house to be sold. Dan was great! We felt confident in him and he seemed knowledgeable & honest in representing the selling of our home. We felt so good about him that we decided no further interviews with other realtors was needed. He was great to work with and our house sold in prox 30 days! He had good professional people to do the inspections and repairs where required. The advertising was the best. His Associate Amanda Adams helped us through all the paperwork and in staging our house. She also was great to work with. Never had such a smooth going escrow. We were so blessed to have both Dan and Amanda to represent us in the selling of our home. We would recommend them to anyone for selling or buying a house. We are now using them to help us in locating a home in the Douglas County area.
Thank you Dan & Amanda for all your great expertise and help in the selling of our home. Your the best!!! Sincerely,” – Severin & Tommie M.

December 7, 2017 – “Working with Dan on the purchase of our Lake Tahoe home was an excellent experience. I didn’t know Dan as he was referred to me by another agent helping me look at homes in North Lake Tahoe. Dan is an experienced professional agent. He made the process of searching for our dream home stress-free as he said ” it needs to be right for you” I’m paraphrasing but this was the just of his message. We found the perfect home and Dan made sure we understood the market environment so we could successful secure our dream home. Dan and his team made the process stress free for me and my wife. We both feel we have a trusted agent and friend in South Lake Tahoe.” – From Zillow – dbrown9306

After making a decision to purchase our condo, Dan and his assistant Amanda Adams were outstanding in keeping us informed throughout the process to closing. Because were from out of town, Dan and Amanda met with all inspectors and again kept us informed of their findings. Because of their guidance the closing went off without a hitch. After closing we have decided to do some extensive remodeling. Again Dan and Amanda have assisted us in locating qualified contractors. Amanda has assisted us in finding and coordinating a company to assist in removing some furnishing for donations. They both have gone over and above their real estate duties and we could not be more appreciative.” – John T.

April 12th, 2017 – “I’ve known Dan Spano for 4 years now and he has always been available to answer any of my questions and give me advice. I bought my first investment property through Dan at age 24 and although I was inexperienced, Dan was always looking out for me and guiding me through the whole process. I recently sold that property making a very generous ROI and Dan once again was on top of everything. He helped negotiate the best deal possible with the buyers and arrange for any repairs that needed to be completed before the sale. Although I do not live in Tahoe, Dan has been my eyes and ears and I trust him 100%. He has vast knowledge of the area and connections with all the services you might be in need of in your buying or selling process.

Living in Glenbrook has been absolutely 100% fantastic! If I can ever help you in anyway let me know. Sincerely, Stephen”
September 12th, 2016 – “Quite simply, we couldn’t be happier with Dan. He is not only an outstanding broker but also a person of exceptional character. His extensive knowledge of the Tahoe basin and his insights regarding each community allowed us to quickly identify the areas that were a good fit for us and ultimately to prepare a competitive offer on our new home. What really impressed us was Dan’s involvement after we entered escrow. We encountered several issues including inaccurate property line records, funding delays, TRPA regulations and more. He remained patient and reassuring through it all and never lost confidence in the ability to close the transaction. In every event, Dan immersed himself in the issue and engaged his extensive network of community resources to resolve the issue. Throughout it all, he maintained the confidence of the sellers and their agent despite several extensions of the escrow period. If you want to purchase a home in Tahoe, you should talk with Dan.” – Al

August 23rd, 2016 – “My wife and I recently sold our home in San Jose in order to move back up here to my childhood home, South Lake Tahoe, CA. I left after I graduated from South Tahoe High School in 1978. I couldn’t wait to leave Tahoe and make my mark on the world! After 38 years in the bay area, I wanted nothing more than to move back here! The bay area was nice and a good place to make a living, but nothing beats Tahoe! The only problem, after a 38 year absence, I had no more connections up here. My wife and I started frantically looking for a quality Tahoe realtor. I knew nothing about the local market. After asking around and doing a ton of research, we found Dan Spano. He was an absolute godsend! I was a building contractor in the bay area for nearly 30 years and have dealt with so many different people and countless business owners, so I have a pretty good B.S. meter! Dan was so refreshing because he’s the exact opposite of most salespeople, who I commonly refer to as a used car salesmen. He returned every one of our calls/texts promptly and followed through with every single thing that he said he’d do! Sadly, that’s seems to be extremely rare these days! I’ve never done one of these referral requests before, but I didn’t hesitate (although it took me much longer than it should have…..moving’s a nightmare!) when his office asked me to. I highly recommend Dan Spano for anyone in need of a real estate broker/agent in Tahoe!!” -Dale and Dawn

Dan walked us through the whole process and stayed engaged until escrow closed. We feel blessed and lucky to have Dan and his staff on our side. He made a sometime complicated and stressful process a simple and pleasurable one. Dan would be on top of my list if I was asked to recommend an agent in the Tahoe area.” -Bud and Patti

Dan kept us informed during every step (ours was a complex transfer of ownership) and focused on the benefits of finding the right house that will to be our family’s home. Yes, he is very patient but more importantly, he was our touchstone to what mattered most to us as we made choices.

He was efficient and very respectful of our time. In the course of three days, we made two offers. Within in two days, we had an accepted offer at a price that exceeded our expectations. Dan is honest, personable, hard working and very knowledgable. We would recommend Dan without hesitation.” – Jeff G.
——————————–
July 23, 2015 – “We knew Dan from a previous home purchase a year earlier. We found a home and wanted to see it. Dan was not the listing agent, but he jumped right in and showed us the house. He worked all the kinks out of buying a beautiful 68 year old lake front cabin on Lake Tahoe. He arranged inspections (many), also got bids on repairs and helped us get a good price. We were able to close in 2 weeks. He was energetic and made time for all the little things that came up. We heartily recommend him and his office” – Robert S.
——————————–
July 18, 2015 – “I used Dan when I both bought and sold my house. During the buying process he was very patient and really got to know us as a couple.

——————————
May 4, 2015 – “We just closed on a property in Zephyr Cove, NV yesterday. We started looking for a second home in the Lake Tahoe area over a year ago and even though we live in San Diego, I received almost daily e-mail notifications from Dan, keeping us informed about properties coming on the market. From the moment my husband and I met Dan, we were impressed. He was friendly without being pushy and clearly had our best interests in mind during our search. Once we found the property we wanted, he very professionally and competently handled the entire process – from negotiating a fair price to helping us close escrow. Dan and his lovely wife invited us to their offices yesterday for a celebration. They truly made us feel at home and welcome in this beautiful place. Just as impressive as Dan’s real estate expertise is his willingness to suggest professionals who will assist in our renovation project. We would recommend Dan without any reservation and feel fortunate we found him!” – Collette and Ric

He is very professional and efficient, yet friendly. He made the whole process seem easy, quick and painless. He also provided us with a lot of contacts (plumber, roof specialist, inspection specialist, etc.) who were all excellent at their job.” – Matt
———————————
December 14, 2014 – “Dan is a true advocate for his clients in the home purchase process. He goes above and beyond before and after escrow. We were a part of his email list for a few months and really appreciate the level of detail on listed properties. Once we found a property we wanted to see, Dan met us with research and deep local knowledge in tow. He made the offer and negotiation process as painless as possible and ensured that no stone was unturned during inspections. The best part – he is still in active contact with us after close to ensure that any post-escrow repairs get done and to be our extra set of eyes on the property when we are away. In addition to being a seasoned agent/broker in Tahoe, he has an awesome team and expanded network of subject matter experts. We are so fortunate to work with him! He is honest and his wanting to help in any way possible comes from a genuine place. He treats us like close friends instead of clients and we know that he is in for the long haul. And that is what sets him apart from the rest.” – Teresa and Maulie
———————————–
November 29, 2014 – “We don’t currently reside in the Tahoe area. When we looked for a realtor to assist us our primary consideration was to find someone who had extensive knowledge of the area. We also wanted someone who was willing to carefully listen to what we were looking for (and just as important what we wanted to avoid). Since we weren’t in a hurry to purchase we wanted someone who was willing to be patient as we searched the available properties. Another important factor for us as remote purchasers was to find someone well versed in modern communication methods like the internet, email, text messaging, etc.
We found Dan to be an ideal fit for us. Dan has lived in the Tahoe area for a long time. He understands the details of the various neighborhoods. He was also willing to spend as much time showing us properties as we wanted. We found his knowledge of the pros & cons of the properties we toured to be very useful. His website was superior than many of the others in that it is organized by neighborhood. It allowed us to save specific search criteria and then be automatically notified of available properties in the neighborhoods we were interested in. Dan promptly responded to all our phone calls, emails, and text messages no matter what time of day we contacted him.
When we finally located a property we wanted to purchase Dan’s experience and guidance on how to go about the process was invaluable to us. He helped us negotiate a better purchase price and terms than we expected. Once we had an accepted offer he took the lead on arranging all the necessary inspections and then negotiating a final repair settlement.
Dan’s connection with us didn’t end with the closing. He has extensive knowledge of reputable local contractors and businesses. We have contacted many of these and have been extremely satisfied with every contractor or service provided he has recommended.
We would highly recommend Dan to anyone looking to purchase real estate in the South Lake Tahoe area. Give him a call. You won’t be disappointed.” – Mike and Donna
———————————-
September 15, 2014 – “Our dealings with Dan Spano could not have been better. His knowledge of the local market and market trends, I’m sure, was the key to our success in selling so quickly. He was highly recommended to us and we will do the same. Thanks Dan” – Steve and Karen
———————————-
August 6, 2014 – ” I came to South Lake Tahoe with aspirations of investing in property and I had the phenomenal good fortune of having Dan Spano as my real estate agent. When I spoke to Dan on the phone, the very first thing he said to me was that my Lake Tahoe home search would be tailor made to what I was looking for, and he did that. Additionally, as we were driving around looking at homes, he explained that he operates the way does because it’s the right thing to do, for which I not only understand but can relate. I think of Dan not only as my agent but as my very dear friend and brother in spirit and would recommend him to everyone who’s looking to buy their dream Tahoe home.” – Bill

July 21, 2014 – “I found Dan’s name in the Breeze. I called and left a message to return my call. Within 30 minutes Dan called and came out that very day. The next day I listed my house with Dan. The following afternoon Dan called with good news…another broker had a buyer and a good offer. With Dan’s advise I accepted the offer and the entire process was seamless and extremely easy. Dan was professional, kept me informed often on the progress of the sale. He was exceptional in taking extra care of some things I was unable to do myself. I am extremely happy and pleased with the job he did for me. I can’t thank him enough…and out of this sale I now have a special friendship with Dan and his wife. I am truly blessed!” – Susan

July 21, 2014 –” Using Dan to sell a residence in Stateline, NV had all of the “big name” marketing advantages of a larger brokerage with all of the flexibility of a local based firm. – Internet and other marketing presence comes up higher on search engines than major firms – personal service to truly “sell” my property, rather than just “present” the property – flexibility to complete the transaction without getting bogged down in organizational “procedures” ——— If you want to sell a property, then Dan with Paradise Realty can get it done… ~ sold my property full listing price (above market valuations of 2 other realtors I discussed listing with) ~ less than 60 days from listing to close of escrow.” – Richard

July 4, 2014 – “Dan came to the home at a time when we had a complete remodel in the works. He offered constructive criticism that we heeded. After the work was almost finished Dan stayed with us and marketed the project even though it wasn’t totally put back together. He saw the value we were trying to achieve and stayed with us. His successful negotiations with the buying agents enabled the market to be stretched. Although not to the point where it was a few years ago, we were quite pleased with his willingness to see our position and make that happen. Many thanks to you, Dan.” – Jeff and Susan

He knows the area and helped with dock and buoy permits. He knows the area very well having lived there year round for years. He kept in constant contact with us, using phone, e-mail, and texts. He made everything run smoothly. I am recommending him without reservation to anyone who is interested in Lake Tahoe property” – Mark and Robert S

June 3. 2014 – “Look no further. There are very few genuine, reliable, honest and knowledgeable professionals out there. Through our lifetime we have bought many homes. Dan Spano is by far the most honest, thorough, and reliable professional we have had the pleasure of working with. Buying a home is a stressful, complicated experience. Dan has done everything he could to help us with this purchase as we were not in the state at the time of this process. He has continued to support us during and after the purchase of our home. His office is located in the “wealthy” area of heavenly Lake Tahoe, but don’t let that skew your opinion. He is kind, considerate and unpretentious. We were very fortunate to meet him and utilize his very professional services.” – Cathy and Roy N

November 16, 2013 – “My husband and I live out of state and were looking for a 2nd home in South Lake Tahoe. I found Dan’s website and started my search online. We looked for 2 summers before we found the perfect place for us. During the whole time, Dan was just incredible. He was very responsive whenever we contacted him, he was extremely patient when answering our questions, and he had this awesome service of the “preview review”, where he would actually visit the homes we were interested in and video them for us. That was really a great help for us, especially since we lived out of state. We made offers on a few homes, and really trusted Dan to help us with the market research and the offer price. Since he’s lived in the area for years, he is a true expert and really goes out of his way to find the house that’s perfect for you. I’m so happy and excited to say that we found our dream home during the summer of 2013. The negotiations were a tough experience, but Dan worked with us and the seller’s agent tirelessly and we got everything that we asked for. Most of our correspondence was done over the phone, and it wasn’t until we were to actually close on the house that I got to meet Dan in person. He was exactly as I pictured and even nicer in person. If you’re looking for someone who will care about what YOU want, someone that will be honest with you about the home and the area, then there’s no one else I would recommend.” – Gina J

November 5, 2013 – “Dan helped us buy five 1031 exchange properties (3 houses, 2 duplexes) over a 3 month period in the Tahoe and Carson Valley. Professional, honest, trust-worthy, knowledgeable– he was there for us 24/7. He notified us of appropriate properties as soon as they came on the market, and sometimes before. His negotiating skills and timeliness of offers and counter offers helped us buy properties at very good values. His office staff and website are also excellent and helped the process move efficiently and properly. Can’t say enough good things about Dan Spano and his office.” – Kathy B
