Port Angeles Realtor Dan Gase

Dan Gase

As a local insurance agent, I like to align myself with other successful professionals in related industries in order to better serve my clients. It is important to have a great network of people that are experienced, trustworthy and proven in their fields. I know that I can confidently refer my clients and they will be handled with care.

Dan Gase

Meet Dan Gase. Mr. Gase is the former President and co-owner of Coldwell Banker Uptown Realty in Port Angeles, Washington. Dan has over 35 years of experience in many different facets of real estate including financing, construction, consulting, managing and of course, selling. Dan now specializes in the purchase and sale of Clallam County real estate.

I recently sat down with him to learn about where the opportunities currently exist in our local market. He said the biggest opportunity right now is for first time home buyers and those looking for rental investments. Given the fact that the average price for residential sales in Port Angeles in 2011 was $176,831 compared with $263,195 in 2007, makes it a true buyer’s market.

New website

Dan recently launched his new website DanGase.com. There you will find tools for buyers and sellers, featured listings, testimonials and more local information. In addition, a new Facebook page has been created to inform the public about upcoming open house events and promote properties he has on the market.

Community

To list all the civic and professional organizations that Dan has been a part of is too much for this article so I want to highlight the one Dan is most passionate about, Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County. Dan feels they truly do great work for the community and is actively involved. If you would like to learn more, please visit www.vhocc.org

Bottom line is if you are looking to buy or sell real estate in Clallam County, check with Dan Gase and you will be glad you did. Of course, when you buy that new home from Dan, one of the many things you will need when is great Homeowners insurance so please remember to contact me for a quote.

Los Angeles Real Estate Agent Eric Smilay of Smilay Properties

Eric Smilay

I want to give some publicity to a great friend and recent father, Eric Smilay of Smilay Properties. Eric is the one who got me excited about digital marketing and having an overall web presence. He was using Twitter and his website for business long before I even knew what Twitter was.

Eric has been selling real estate in Los Angeles since 2005. The great thing about Eric is that not only has he survived this challenging real estate market, he has thrived in it. He has done so by staying positive, utilizing several marketing channels and working extremely hard. His beautiful wife recently gave birth to their first child. Minutes after the delivery, Eric was on the phone negotiating a deal. Now that is dedication!

I have a special connection with Eric because we grew up together playing basketball in Port Angeles, WA. We both relocated to Southern California to attend college and remained close friends while we launched our careers. It has been cool to see Eric’s professional growth along the way. Eric is a true entrepreneur and has a natural ability to close business deals.

Smilay Properties

Eric is constantly juggling several listings throughout the city, but his area of expertise and passion is in the Hollywood area. If you are looking to buy or sell real estate in Los Angeles, let Eric earn your business and you won’t be disappointed.

Eric can be reached on his cell phone at 310-600-9172 or by email at smilayproperties@gmail.com. You can also follow Eric’s Twitter feed @esmilay where he regularly posts up-to-date listings in the Los Angeles Real Estate market.
