Dan van der Salm

After owning our farm for eight years we made the difficult decision to sell. I say difficult, because it is the farm where we raised our kids, taught them how to drive, taught them how to milk and I suppose taught our four kids to be all round, sound country kids. We re-fenced the total farm, planted thousands of natives, got to see Petunia, Mikey, Stumpy and all the other pets in the herd.

As selling the farm is such a mix of personal emotions, it is also intertwined with the reality that it is your business you are selling, and you want someone to represent the value of what you have created. When we decided to sell there was no doubt on our minds that Dan was who we wanted to go through that process with. Dan has two great strengths. Firstly, he has a personable character. We have looked at several properties over the years with a number of different agents. The person we wanted to deal with and front our farm had to be straight up, genuine, and without any bull.

Secondly, Dan has a huge advantage of many years in the banking sector. Dan sold our fantastic business and had the banking background to promote it in a manner which enabled purchasers to realise the potential return on investment, should they purchase the property.

At the end of the day, the vendor is after the best possible sale result and there is no doubt that Dan had a positive influence on the outcome through his financial skills and his great character.

I am delighted to write this testimonial for Dan van der Salm, who recently helped us with the sale of our house and farm. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for our needs were evident throughout the entire process.

Dan's knowledge of the real estate market, particularly in the area of farms and rural properties, was very good. He took the time to understand the unique features and potential of our property, ensuring that its true value was highlighted to potential buyers.

Throughout the sale process, Dan demonstrated excellent communication skills. He provided regular updates, and kept us informed at every step. His transparency and honesty were invaluable, making us feel confident and reassured throughout the entire transaction. He navigated through potential challenges and always had our best interests at heart and we couldn't have been happier with the final sale price he achieved for us.

Beyond his professional expertise, Dan's friendly and personable nature made working with him a pleasure. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure we felt supported and comfortable during what can be a stressful process.
We wholeheartedly recommend Dan to anyone looking for a real estate agent. Thanks to Dan, we had a successful sale, and we are incredibly grateful for his hard work and dedication. If you're looking for an agent who will go the extra mile to achieve outstanding results, look no further than Dan van der Salm.
