Whether buying or selling property, the experience can be filled with frustration & needless time-consuming obstacles. By helping my Clients manage events in a carefully planned, orderly fashion, their goals are often met with more satisfying results.
As a full-time Real Estate Agent, I view my role as that of a trusted adviser. Its critical to explore my Client's criteria (listen & qualify their needs & wants), devise a plan (identify & execute steps) to help them achieve their goals, monitor & offer guidance to ensure informed / educated decisions are made that lead to a successful conclusion.
Through continuous education, I ensure a high level of service to my Clients - by staying current of North Carolina Real Estate Commission regulatory changes, & by maintaining a thorough knowledge of the area & market, local rules & regulations, & resources whose services contribute to my Client's successful property transaction.
For years, Southeast Brunswick County has been a big part of my life. Shortly after hurricane Hazel stormed our coast, my dad & other family members drove from Durham & bought center island lots at Long Beach, NC (now Oak Island). Soon small cinderblock houses popped up where we vacationed as often as possible. Mornings were spent slicing the Intracoastal Water way on slolams & afternoons were reserved for challenging waves on dime store rafts. Since moving here, my life has gotten even better through helping others explore the tranquil days & uncomplicated lifestyle of coastal living. The wind, waves & gulls provide an alluring symphony drawing visitors back year-after-year. Did you hear their call? Come, discover & make this your new home!

Dan did everything and more than expected from a buyer's perspective. He made multiple visits for us when we had questions from 1600 miles away! He arranged for appliance delivery, took care of a vehicle and resolved an issue regarding the contract. He provided contacts for insurance, handyman and more. He even offered to supervise our household goods delivery in case we were late! We cannot think of anything he did not or could not do. We have relocated many times. Dan is the best agent we have ever had, bar none.

Dan Riley epitomizes the consummate professional: sharing his market knowledge, guiding customers through the myriad of paperwork and lawyers, all with his warm and genuine caring personality. Our transaction had a major hiccup with the other party's attorney office, and Dan assured us that while he had never seen this in is decades of experience, he was calm and reassuring as both parties worked through the matter to a successful conclusion. So, if you want a knowledgeable, caring, calm, reassuring, and pleasant realtor to work with you through the real estate experience, then you can do no better than choosing Dan Riley.

Dan has kept constants updates during the building process of my house at Sea Trail. He did all the home inspections for me since I was unable to attend the meetings. Took pictures of house and checked on it weekly. Also kept me in the loop with the closing attorney while I was attending to a family member illness.Never expected this much work from a real estate agent. Dan went BEYOND what was needed. He's also making sure the move in goes smoothly next week.Thanks Dan!

We met Dan at an open house several years ago when just checking out the area we are now moving to, and re-connected now that we are ready to relocate.With the market as hot as it is now, time was of the essence, and Dan worked diligently to keep us current as properties became available. Despite being shown a range of land and residences we have purchased a home. Dan worked closely with us (from out of state) to ensure that our offer was presented (and accepted!), and subsequently coordinated with contractors to facilitate the purchase.Dan's professional and friendly approach was a pleasure to work with, and we recommend him highly. Although we have no plans to move again for a while, we would not hesitate to use Dan's services again.

I don't know how to adequately express in words the gratitude we feel for having worked with this stellar agent. Dan goes above and beyond to exceed expectations, to negotiate on your behalf, to advise, counsel, and walk you through every step of the process in such a professional and easy manner. We would never suspect he had other clients because we always felt he had all the time in the world to accommodate our questions, concerns, and any passing thought we needed to address. On top of all that we genuinely feel he's our friend for life and look forward to keeping in touch. He knows us personally and treats us as if we're family. You cannot go wrong with this agent. Dan will help you and advise you and prevent you from wasting money. I honestly feel he would even sacrifice his own purposes if he felt it was in your better interest. He's that kind of true southern gentleman.

Absolutely wonderful to work with. He went above and beyond with every aspect of this process. He not only made the process easy, but he also explained everything prior to listing, helped throughout the sale and his follow-up post sale and impeccable. He made me feel like family and I had every confidence in his ability to close the sale quickly and at the best price.
