Website Disclosures

These notes explain who operates this website and how to read its content. They are informational; using the site doesn’t create an agreement or a client relationship.

Who operates this site

Dan Smallie is a California real estate salesperson, DRE #02130108, licensed with Real Estate Source Inc., California DRE #01869619. Office: 1024 Iron Point Rd., Ste. 100, Folsom, CA 95630. Phone (916) 956-4345, email Dansmallie77@gmail.com. Dan serves Elk Grove from this office; there is no Elk Grove office. License status can be checked on the California Department of Real Estate’s public license lookup.

Equal Housing Opportunity

Dan supports fair housing and the principles of the federal Fair Housing Act and California fair housing law. Areas are described by property features, travel, costs and amenities — never by who lives there or who should. Questions about school assignment, boundaries or services should be confirmed with the responsible agency. Learn more from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Market analyses are not appraisals

A comparative market analysis (CMA) or home value report is an opinion of a likely price range based on comparable sales and the information available when it is prepared. It is not an appraisal, does not guarantee a sale price, timeline or outcome, and should not be relied on for lending, tax or legal purposes. Sending the home value form does not produce an instant estimate; Dan reviews each request personally.

General information, not individual advice

Guides on this site are general education for homeowners and buyers. They are not legal, tax, lending, insurance or appraisal advice, and rules, fees and programs change. Confirm details with the linked agency and with a qualified advisor for your circumstances. The site does not publish market statistics, listings, sales counts or client reviews.
