Extremely Impressed

I asked Dan Brunk to represent me and sell my commercial building in downtown Windsor. I am extremely impressed by his attention to detail, honesty, work ethic, professionalism and integrity. Dan was very thorough in his research on my property to accurately price it. Dan performed extensive analysis of current market conditions and previous sales of commercial buildings. Dan’s communication and writing skills are excellent. He took the time with me to go over his findings and explain in detail how he arrived at the price we should list the building for. He compiled a marketing plan and portfolio booklet on the building, hired a professional photographer and hired a firm to measure the building and provide a dimensioned floor plan. Dan’s diligence and expertise paid off. Dan sold my building for top dollar. The sale set a sales record per square foot in dollar amount in downtown Windsor. He did such a great job that I contemplated not selling the building and keeping it! Being self-employed, I am very intense and a type A personality. Dan not only met my expectations, but he also exceeded them. Dan has a way of keeping things in perspective and moving the process forward. He tackled every obstacle and bump in the road with steady confidence that was very reassuring. I felt very comfortable having Dan looking out for and protecting my best interests. I highly recommend Dan if you are considering selling your property, home or commercial building.

Well Rounded

Dan is in a select group of individuals capable of not only understanding but exhibiting a thorough comprehension of the complexities involved with representing a commercial property in the flood zone and flood fringe. In this instance the process of attaining a CLOMR-F approval from the county engineering department and acceptance and issuance through FEMA with the numerous supportive documents and conceptual engineering drawings depicting the development potential of the parcel were implemented into a very professional marketing plan presenting clear and concise information for the development of the property. Additionally, their was excellent communication throughout the process of selling the property including covering all nuances of pricing evaluation, preview of the detailed marketing plans and down to the specifics of counter proposals and agreements to the buyers property and sales purchase contract.

You were very professional and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. You were honest, direct, by the book, and weren't afraid to ask others when you didn't know the answer.

Incredible Commitment to Excellence

I have known Dan for ten years and he is the real deal. I had the pleasure of working with Dan for many of those years in his VP of Marketing role. Creative. Genius. Innovative. Fresh. Intelligent. Connected. Relevant. These are the first words that come to mind when I think of any experience with Dan. He is well versed in his craft and takes an approach to all things with an incredible commitment to excellence.

I've had hundreds of employees over 30 years of my career and there are a few standouts that you'll never forget. Mostly because of the way it feels to work side by side with them. The level of trust you place in these individuals and the way they 'show up' to their work every day is what makes them memorable.

Dan is authentic - he is hysterical and a joy to work with - so whether you're hiring him or working with him or just lucky enough to be in a conversation with him - you'll never forget him. That's who he is.

If someone asked me if I could work with anyone again - that I've worked with in the past - Dan is at the top of the list.
