Dan and his team helped us into our house a few years ago, which was a great experience. Having a really good mortgage broker through the undertaking of buying a house is more important than you may realize. He’s a wealth of knowledge and genuinely loves to help people. We had an issue with some permitting later on, completely unrelated to Dan’s scope, but because of his experience in the real estate industry in general, I called him for advice. He eagerly and graciously talked with me multiple times throughout the process. Dan doesn’t just disappear once the sale closes, he’ll be your industry partner for life.

My husband and I had Dan Keller help us buy our first home. While the entire process can be intimidating and quite frankly, overwhelming, Dan made it easy. Knowing what to look out for, what to avoid, and what each decision meant made buying our house a very positive experience. When it comes to financing Dan is knowledgeable, caring, and wise. He's a man of faith, values family, and loves his friends. We highly recommend him!

In 2021, I emailed Dan in the middle of the night after I had learned our Landlord was terminating our lease early in order to sell the house we lived in. Not only were we first time homeowners, but we had recently moved to the US, and we had no credit score to speak of, and we now had very little time to find a house and close on it. Needless to say I was panicked. By the time I woke up, Dan had answered my email, and we had our first conversation the very same day. Dan is not only extremely knowledgable, but he is also a very good educator. He asked us questions and walked us through the pre-approval process, he answered all our questions, and by the end of the phone call, I had no more fears and a checklist of things to get started on right away. Him and his team were by our side during the whole process, and thanks to their help, we got pre-approved, made an offer and closed on our house within 90 days. The service we received was outstanding. Nearly 4 years later, I still come to Dan whenever I have questions, because I know I can rely on his advise and I would work with him again in a heartbeat. Dan is our mortgage guy, and he should be yours too.
