Where are you in the move?
Find out what it's really worth
Not your BC Assessment, and not a robot's guess. I walk the house the way a buyer's inspector will, and tell you what to fix before you list and what to leave alone.
How I sell a house →Leaving the family home
Sell first or buy first, rancher or two storey, and what to look for if this is your last house. Most of my work is helping people make this move without the stress.
The downsizing guide →Homes, acreage and horse property
A builder's eye on the foundation, the framing, the wiring, and on the barns, fencing, wells and outbuildings, before you write the offer. Penticton to OK Falls, Naramata and beyond.

Journeyman
Carpenter
I built houses for twenty-four years before I sold them.
I started my carpentry apprenticeship in 1980, became a Red Seal Journeyman Carpenter, and built custom homes and commercial projects across Canada, mostly in BC: Richmond, Langley, Aldergrove and Abbotsford, then a lot of renovations here in Penticton. I also ran my own finishing company, Dano Construction. So when I walk through a house with you, I'm not looking at the staging. I'm looking at the things that cost money later.
Most of my business comes from past clients and their referrals. That's the job: tell people the truth about a house, even when it's the one they've fallen for.
- Foundation cracks that matter
- Roof, furnace and water tank age
- 60 amp service and poly B
- Oil tanks and vermiculite
- Decks, retaining walls, framing
- Wells, barns and fencing on acreage
What's your home actually worth?
I'll look at what's sold near you, what's competing with you right now, and the condition of your house, then give you a real number and a plan. No obligation, and I won't put you on a mailing list.

What clients say
“Dan goes above and beyond for his clients. I have never met anyone more dedicated to his job than this guy. I met Dan almost 15 years ago when he sold a home for me in the Okanagan Valley. He has since sold multiple houses for me and my family. He is always honest, fair, professional and dedicated to the task. He works until the job is done, no matter the hour of day. Dan is my first phone call if I am even considering selling my property. I trust his advice, price point, and attention to detail. I have enjoyed working with Dan over the years and will continue to do so. I highly recommend Dan if you would like to buy or sell a home.”Dawn SchevesHome seller
“We finally found a realtor we could trust. Someone who had honesty and integrity, someone who believed in working hard to get the job done. My husband and I are so very grateful for all Dan has done for us. So friendly, and yet so professional, so knowledgeable, we felt that we could just leave everything in his hands. Dan not only sold our house for us, but found us just what we needed and wanted to see us through our retirement. We would never hesitate to recommend Dan's Real Estate services to anyone! Thank you Dan!”Cathy KHome seller
“Exceptional service, Dan went over and above. Being from out of province, he made things go so smooth. He had all the ground work done before we arrived. It was a pleasure to work with such an honest man. Thanks Dan Jones”Phil and Diane LaprairieHome seller
“Dan was exceptional dealing with a very difficult multi owner situation. He has superior problem solving skills and his attention to detail and focus on his clients' best interests helped immensely in this sale.”Michael PearceHome seller
