About Dan
A personal approach. A practical plan.
Real estate decisions are personal, and your guidance should be too. Dan Smallie helps people sell, buy and plan their next move — now with a dedicated focus on Elk Grove.
Your Elk Grove real estate contact
Dan Smallie has been a licensed California real estate salesperson since June 2021. He works with Real Estate Source Inc. from the brokerage’s office in Folsom and serves clients across the greater Sacramento area — including Elk Grove, where this website focuses.
You might be ready to list, searching for a different home, or simply wondering what a move could look like. You don’t need a finished plan before reaching out; your questions are a useful place to begin. Dan’s role is to help you understand your options, see the details that matter and move forward with a plan that fits your life.
For sellers, that means a property-specific look at value, preparation focused where it helps, and support through offers, inspections and closing. For buyers, it means turning a wish list into clear search priorities, comparing homes consistently and understanding every term before committing.
How Dan works
Clear advice. Personal communication.
Start with what matters to you
A preferred closing date, a household’s daily routine or an uncertain budget can shape the right approach as much as the property itself. The first step is understanding what you hope a move makes possible — and what might make it difficult.
Understand the reasoning
When the conversation turns to price, preparation or an offer, Dan connects the advice to your goals and the information available. You should always know why a recommendation is being made.
Know where specialists fit
Some questions belong with a lender, inspector, attorney or tax advisor. Dan helps identify where that professional input fits into the process, so nothing important is left to guesswork.
Communicate the way you prefer
Together you decide how updates, showing requests and important decisions are handled — and which decisions need attention today versus those that can wait.
Your first conversation
Start with whether you’re selling, buying or both, your approximate timing and what you’d like to accomplish. Before any representation agreement, Dan reviews the services, responsibilities and compensation with you, so you understand exactly what is proposed. If you’re just exploring, say so.
