“Dan is an extremely competent and effective agent, far more so than what we have seen in other realtors in the past. If not for his outstanding negotiating and tactical skills, we would not have achieved our goals in the recent sale and purchase of our home. If you are looking for no fluff and all substance, then Dan is the agent for you. Would highly recommend him to anyone without hesitation.” – Vlad

We sold our tenanted rental house in Victoria and we couldn’t be happier with the way he handled the sale. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a positive selling or buying experience.” – Kathryn Proudfoot


“Dan truly went above and beyond for us. He made sure that everything We wanted in the house was done to our liking and fought hard for exactly what we wanted. He even went to check on the progress of the house for us as we do not live in the area 100% would recommend.” – Griffin Hebert


“In the spring of 2020, my marriage broke down, and my wife moved out, letting me know that she was prepared to force the sale of our home. Also, that she would sue, if necessary, to claim her portion of the equity in the home. I immediately attempted to value the home, via inquiring on the internet . After leaving messages with several real-estate people, Dan was the only agent that responded. We met for coffee, and Dan subsequently did some in-depth inquiries for me, regarding a ball park value of the home. I told him that I may try to buy my wife out, if the bank would co-operate. I asked him if he would he would keep me informed on the market numbers, so that I would have an idea how to proceed. For the next year, Dan called me regularly, and also forwarded me the monthly Real Estate updates from the Greater Victoria Board. I was unable to agree with a mutual buy out number with my wife, so we both acquired lawyers, and worked out a Separation Ageement . This included the sale of the home. I contacted Dan, and he immediately started the process of listing, and the subsequent sale of same. My wife requested to have a second Realestate company to represent her, so this was done. The second agent was semi-retired, and not at all up to speed with the current processes, so Dan literally did everything, from placing the lawn sign, to preparing all the necessary documentation, and computer work. He also coordinated the final show down of the offers, and the eventual sale. A fantastic man. Very professional, knowledgeable, polite, and on the ball with details. He was also quite empathic with me concerning my marriage situation. All in all, this was an amazing experience, with the final outcome pleasing to all.” – Don Perkins


“Dan went above and beyond in helping me find my new home. I am a first-time homeowner and feel lucky to have found someone with his expertise. He tracked down and reviewed information about the property that really helped me come to the right decision. I couldn’t be happier with my experience.” – Cody Smith


“Dan was the best agent we have ever worked with. Before we were ready to sell he showed us properties to get an idea of the areas and values of condos in Victoria. Even at the end of a long day he was willing to drive out to Sooke to show us another property. As a result when we sold we had an excellent understanding of the market. During an active market when we found the condo we wanted, with Dan’s assistance, we were able to make an informed offer that was accepted. Since we were moving from Nanaimo Dan had put us in touch with an excellent realtor in Nanaimo and then a great lawyer in Victoria. We were very happy with both. I have already recommended Dan to friends that are looking at selling and buying in Victoria and I will continue to recommend him. He is professional, personable and knowledgeable. We will work with him again.” – Katherine


“Daniel was personable, patient and persistent in finding the right place for us. He showed us many different properties in the volatile Victoria market and his deep knowledge of the market saved us a lot of time and lots of money. Whether your budget is several million or you’re looking for a double wide with a car port, you get the same excellent level of service. We are so happy with Daniel’s work we’ve recommended him to other friends and acquaintances and they all say what we said: Daniel is a remarkable realtor.” – John Harris


“We used Dan on our purchase and then on our sale. Both of these experiences were positive. Dan went above and beyond what he needed to do. He communicated with us regularly and helped us through all of the transactions.” – Stefan Fridriksson


“We are very lucky and happy to have Dan as our Realtor. Dan has so much experience and knowledge for this competitive market. He gave us right advices and confidence. We are so happy we get the house we love to be our home. Thanks to Dan.” – Siri


“Daniel was a pleasure to work with. His extensive and vast knowledge of the housing market in Victoria was greatly appreciated. He supported us every step of the way.” – Julie Bruce


“Dan is one of the best agents we have ever worked with. We must have looked at 30-40 homes over the course of a couple months. He really knows South Island real estate and was always responsive, day or night, within minutes of our inquiries – and we had many! He is a patient person. We found him great to work with and learned a great deal about local real estate while driving the area. I think he enjoys his job! When asked, he always provided practical thoughts on the pros and cons of each house we visited. He helped us form our thoughts in regard to what was really important to us in finding a new home. One of the other real values Dan brings to a real estate transaction is his use of facts and figures to craft a winning offer. After buying and selling 10 homes we think he may have been the most competent agent we have worked with and we would be happy to recommend him to anyone buying or selling.” – Terry Medd


“We were looking at all types of properties and Dan was always available and keen to show us the properties. Even when one required some bush wacking. Dan’s professionalism and expert opinion were very valuable in our search. He was also present for all of our showings and ensured we achieved the “sweet spot” in our listing price.” – Pamela Russell


“Dan was very helpful through this entire process of purchasing our first house. He was very professional, calm and collected which instilled confidence in us as we were new to home buying. His guidance and availability was stellar” – Michael Durand


“Buying our house was an enjoyable experience. We would definitely recommend Dan and use him again in the future ourselves. We found him to be knowledgeable and be able to offer valid to the point advice. Even in the event of dealing with a difficult seller which was the case with Tanlee” – sage goldsmith


“Excellent realtor, we have used a few in the past, Daniel was by far the best. We only transacted a purchase, a place that would have sold in a day, we managed to be the lucky ones to get it thanks to Daniel’s quick response to our inquiries and finding exactly what we wanted.” – Tanya Bosence


“Dan Weiss was an excellent realtor. He was patient and knowledgable throughout the process. He was quick to respond to any concerns or issues. I highly recommend Dan as a realtor.” – Cindy


“Im happy with the purchase of my home in a nice neighbourhood. Not being from Victoria, Daniel was very helpful in finding a suitable place. Got lost the first day inthis area. Bus driver gave wrong direction and ended up in Brentwood. Missed 5:00meeting with manager and home inspector butDaniel went out of his way from his family at supper time and drove me to 7583C/S. Not only was he helpful for the purchase/completion, he is easy to get along with. I even offered to cut his lawn.” – ken uyeda


“The sale was at a long distance & we depended a great deal on Dan Weiss. He prepared the property and was in close touch through the whole process. The price was excellent & his knowledge of the buyer’s market was excellent.” – Paul Rutherford


“This is one excellent agent and person. The quality of the service was top notch. Dan went above and beyond to help us with this purchase.” – Stefan Fridriksson


“My family and I had been looking for a single detached home in the Victoria area since 2016. Throughout the entire time, Dan was a Realtor I felt was honest and upfront. He always remained communicative, responded quickly to texts and telephone calls, was always pleasant, punctual and professional. He offered valued advice about different properties, which as a single woman I was grateful for. I highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for a reliable Realtor that is extremely knowledgeable about the Victoria and area real estate market.” – Donna Gatzke


“Daniel was very patient and persistent over the two years it took me to find a suitable property in Victoria and to renovate and sell my mother’s home in London Ontario. There were many obstacles to overcome including significant health challenges. Daniel would phone every few months to see how I was doing with my goal to get back to Victoria. He would adjust his website search parameters as my dream detached bungalow morphed into a two bedroom condo due to finances. When I found the property, Daniel handled all the real estate paperwork with ease, putting me in touch with a Victoria law firm to work with my London lawyer to get the property closed without a hitch. He collected the keys to the condo after it closed and met my flight later that same day at the airport. He even drove me to Metchosen, where I was staying for a week, as my car had not yet arrived from Ontario. He made me comfortable accepting the ride by saying that he hadn’t had to drive me around to see properties, so this ride was in lieu of that. Daniel is persistent, fair, conscientious and an all-round excellent salesman. His kindness was greatly appreciated and I recommend him very very highly. Sincerely, Robert Michael Laidlow Happy Condo Owner in Victoria BC” – Robert Michael Laidlow


“Dan was always prompt with his responses and gave very useful advice.” – Jim Richardson

” Dan was an excellent realtor to work with and went the extra mile. He was professional and very responsive resulting in a successful transaction.” – Peter Lloyd-Jones


“Daniel was patient for a couple of years, while we used his portal to look at properties. He contacted me every six months or so to chat about our situation and the markets in Victoria and Calgary. We changed our requirements several times in those years. Daniel never pushed. He was always responsive when we had a question and got back to me quickly with all the information we asked for or got back to us and said he was waiting for information from another source. Daniel knows the Victoria market, he knew the areas we were interested in and encouraged (or discouraged) us accordingly, which was invaluable as we did not know traffic patterns, dead end streets or shopping areas – he did! For a moment we thought we might get more for our money “up Island”, Daniel connected us with a Realtor based in Nanaimo. Daniel found us just the condo we were looking for, two beds, two baths, no stairs, quiet street, nearby shopping and in our price range in Sidney-by-the-Sea. He worked with the Strata Board on our behalf. He helped us find a mortgage broker, lawyer, cleaner and trades, as we needed them, acting as liaison with each, often without being asked. I would have to say that, even though we purchased a home at the bottom end of the price spectrum in the Victoria area, Daniel treated us like million-dollar clients. I bet everyone gets million-dollar service from Daniel Weiss.” – The Rices


“I wanted to take a minute to write a 5-STAR review for DANIEL WEISS at COLDWELL BANKER SLEGG REALTY. Our introduction to Daniel began a couple years ago, with the dream/wish/desire of my parents to retire to Vancouver Island. Daniel set us up with a web portal, updated daily, with properties that met their criteria. As the “move date” was flexible, we had time to browse. Daniel was always gracious about gathering more information, often viewing properties on our behalf and “downloading” his impressions – in direct relation to their needs. I became involved late in the search, but Daniel adapted quickly and incorporated additional features that I felt were important. Some urgency was added to the process at that point, as I was motivated to complete the move before spring. Daniel took that pivot in stride! With his patience, and extensive knowledge of the island, we found a terrific property that met our (combined) needs. Daniel responded quickly to our texts, emails, and/or phone calls, making sure everyone stayed in the loop. Daniel provided recommendations for a mortgage originator and attorney to assist me with a long-distance closing, as well as local references for an inspector, cleaners, a locksmith, and fireplace service. We have been very satisfied with everyone Daniel recommended; all have provided excellent, timely service. From our initial “loose” search, to adding a party and changing criteria; from advice on making an offer, all the way through closing (and beyond!), Daniel went above-and-beyond to take care of three non-local buyers. My parents are now settled in a home and community they love; Daniel was instrumental in making that happen. THANK YOU! A. Foster Los Angeles, CA” A. Foster

Dan was very knowledgeable and professional in helping us select our new townhouse. He showed us many properties and provided valuable info about the properties and the surrounding area. Dan was very attentive throughout and we would definitely recommend him to others. – Rolf Holzhuter


Dan was very helpful when looking for our new condo. We were only visiting Victoria for a couple of days and he was able to take us to see all of the properties we wanted to during that time with little notice. This was the first property we have bought, and Dan really helped us through the process. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. – Alicia Wiliamson


Daniel did an excellent job I would have no problem referring him to anyone. He was always avalible, from the start of my purchase till the very end. I d say he is much more honest then most realtors. It was a nerve racking process but Daniel did everything he could to make it go as best as possible. He was always able to find answers, and dig up good information. I’ll definitely be using him again in the future, – Patrick


Daniel was very straightforward, nice, knowledgeable, helpful and pleasant to deal with. He comes across as much more honest and trustworthy than many real estate agents we’ve dealt with. We would definitely deal with him again. – Karen


Daniel worked extremely hard under tight time constraints. He was available in off hours either by e mail or phone. His advice about price and buying strategy was spot on. He was able to help me navigate through multiple listings until we found a suitable place. His after purchase advice and follow up was very helpful. – Kent Scarborough


Dan knows what he’s doing, and he’s not afraid to give strong guidance when requested or needed, but also knows when to take your lead. His experience and knowledge counts. I would recommend him highly if you’re looking to buy or sell — he does a thorough job and delivers on his promises. – JP Lafleur


Outstanding Agent – Otto Matz


This is our third successful real-estate transaction with Daniel (over 30 years!) and we would definitely highly recommend him to others. He continues to be very attentive, responsive, professional and knowledgeable. It is obvious that he understands the Victoria market very well, and he is dedicated to serving each clients’ specific needs. – Karen W.


Dan is patient and responsive to client wants and needs. He puts in the hours and effort to get things done. – Roger Whitehead


We are from out of town and had been looking to move to Victoria for quite a while. Started researching the market and my wife happened to browse Dan’s website. He offered to set us up on a private online real estate portal so we could get more detailed property info and refine our search criteria. It helped immensely. Long story short, when we made the move and met with Dan it was a cinch to get started. He had right tools, knowledge and experience we were looking for. We found our dream home and couldn’t be happier! – Steve & Jessica Kaczmer


I have been with Dan since 2013, We have used him for Residential and Commercial properties, you probably think most realtors do their job, maybe that true or not, in my case, we are talking about major commercial decisions and things that can effect you in the future if you do it with someone new to the field. Dan goes out of his way to get things done, this could sometime even mean after hours. His completion dates are spot on and if there is any hiccups on the road I don’t have to deal with it. This is the kind of trust I have built with him. Strongly recommended if you don’t want to deal with the headaches. Also most purchases are SUPER Slow, not with Dan lol, he will make it go super fast if you are ready 😉 – K Serry


Daniel was very helpful to the sale and completion of the transaction due to issues that arise with notary. His responsiveness to our concerns ensured the sale was completed properly – Bill and Brenda Laing


Where do I start? Dan does it all. He is not only everything and more that you would expect from a 5 star agent, but he also has access to all the top support people that go into buying, selling, prepping, renovating, etc. Within the last two years Dan has assisted us with a purchase and sale. In fact, he helped us research the market for 5 months before we had even made the decision to move to Victoria (no strings, glad to help). His buying and selling strategies yielded results that far exceeded our expectations. Dan has a very engaging style – communicative, knowledgeable, confident, with excellent listening skills. I could go on, but suffice it to say … I would highly recommend Dan for all your real estate needs. – Gary Price


Service-oriented, Dan didn’t apply pressure and was super accommodating in setting up viewings and driving long distances in helping us find a place. Would be pleased to use Dan’s services next time around. – Lou Olivier


Dan helped familiarize us with the Victoria market, understood it well, and had helpful background in construction development, which meant he knew who to call at the city, and town to get the documents we needed promptly. He helped us find our new home quite promptly and effectively. – Jennifer Conkie and David Morton


Dan was very professional and helpful with background information, honest evaluations and market knowledge. We were able to prescreen condos before we decided on which ones to view and felt very well looked after during our time in Victoria. We would definitely recommend Dan for real estate transactions. Barbara and Joe – Barbara Fresz


I live overseas and wanted to purchase an investment property in Victoria. After flying over and meeting a number of agents I decided on Daniel. What a good decision! He was knowledgeable and prepared when I arrived and made himself completely available during my search. He gave me the confidence and insight into the market that I wouldn’t have been able to develop on my own from abroad. With his guidance I made a purchase that I am thrilled with. Be assured, I am NOT an easy client but he handled the pressure, timelines and continuous changes in my needs with professionalism and a sense of humour. Even after the sale, he continues to follow up and ensure that all the details of the sale are completed and any future needs are met. I trust him, enjoyed working with him and will work with him again going forward. – Kim Smither


Very happy, Dan work above and beyond expectations. – Peter Holmes


Dan was very helpful in alerting us ofhomes that we were interested in. He also helped in writing up the offer to purchase and giving us an idea of what would be an acceptable time frame for the closing date. We felt like we got exactly the home we wanted in the ideal time frame. – Paul Mundt


What I found most useful working with Dan is his prompt communication on arranging property viewings. The whole house hunting experience was efficient and seamless as a result. When it came to the purchase contract negotiations, it was much the same. The whole process was swift start to finish. Also, he was instrumental in actually getting the property we wanted with clever bidding tips that totally worked. I recommend you go with Dan since he’ll save you time and headache during the course of your endeavour. – Voytek Gretka
