As a past President of the Oregon Association of Realtors I know what a good Real Estate Broker looks like. Dan Gottlieb of Salish Real Estate in Olga, is one of the best Brokers I have worked with. I got to know Dan because he worked with my father to sell his home at Spring Point in Deer Harbor, on Orcas Island. There was a mountain of tasks that had to be sequenced, getting the house ready for sale. Dan was a valuable guide helping my father navigate the ins and outs of Orcas Island property sales as well as providing fantastic recommendations for Orcas Island trades’ people. Then, when the offers came in, which they did quickly, Dan was ready with an analysis of the offers for my father, considering all relevant aspects. Dan had the patience for all of my father’s questions and concerns. I highly recommend him. Dan is a professional who know hows to walk his clients through the challenges of today’s real estate transactions.

My husband and I will be forever grateful for Dan’s professionalism and knowledge of the island. We knew immediately upon seeing our present special spot here, that this was our forever home. Dan pointed us in the right direction with answers to all the questions that we had about building on Orcas and made the entire process a most pleasant and easy one. Because we owned another piece of property on Orcas, we had great concerns about selling it as rapidly as possible. Not to worry—Dan had it sold in a matter of days and we were on our way to making our home here. We also made a friend for life with him and we know that if we are ever in need of a great real estate broker in the future, or have any questions about our home, we would not hesitate to come to Dan Gottlieb. We would highly recommend him to anyone who wishes to make their dreams come true on Orcas Island.

When the home we were renting was put on the market… We had no thought that we could purchase this home ourselves but the Broker, Dan Gottlieb thought otherwise. From there, the process went very smoothly and everyone associated with this purchase was totally professional and well versed in their specialty. We could not have asked for a better situation. If Dan had not gone the extra mile, we would not be in our own home today. We are so grateful for his initiative and the excellence of everyone who followed in this process. We give unqualified ultra-high marks to Dan.

Dan has this very special skill of making sure a rather difficult situation runs very smoothly. He had our best interest at heart and was compassionate toward our tenants. I appreciated how great Dan was when working with an occupied home for showings. Dan was very easy to work with and more than willing to work with our schedules. He has a great understanding of the current market and is not at all shy to advise us if we were pricing too high or too low. He was very helpful in the sale of our property. Overall, the experience was fantastic.

We recently listed a piece of property for sale with Dan Gottlieb. We were pleasantly surprised that multiple offers were made on the parcel within a week, since we’d already had plans to be on a vacation. We ended up having to do some paperwork long distance. Dan handled everything seamlessly. We have no hesitation in recommending Dan. We appreciate his professionalism and look forward to working with him again.

Dan is very thorough, good attention to all the details. He has been very helpful. He knows our particular island real-estate market quite well. His understanding of our local situation is thoughtful and well grounded. I am quite pleased with all aspects of his service.
