Dan Lackey

Unilocaler —
You’re obviously browsing Unilocal to find a good real estate agent. Look no further.. . Dan Lackey is the absolute best real estate agent in the westside! The Mr. and I purchased our first home in April 2011. As home buying newbies we were overwhelmed, nervous, intimidated but excited about the whole prospect of finding the best first home that would be suitable to our income level and meet our needs. I’ll try to keep this review about Dan and not about home buying tips — if you want that, please message me and I’d be happy to share!
There were a few things that were apparent in looking for a real estate agent. We wanted someone who was first and foremost HONEST with us. We also wanted someone who would go to bat for us when it came to negotiating, being our liaison and representing our best interests. We found all of this and then some in working with Dan. He was a recommendation to us from friends who also purchased their first home with Dan’s help. We were a bit intimidated that he might only take on clients who were looking to buy million dollar homes. We were certainly not in that category, but nonetheless he took us under his real estate wings and took excellent care of us regardless of our price range.
Dan has a great personality and is very easy to work with. My husband and I looked forward to our meetings with him. We had a lot of questions throughout the process. Dan helped us understand what was going on and what to expect. He was very clear about where things stood and gave us advice on how to proceed. We never felt pressured in making our decisions and we relied heavily on Dan’s experience and expertise. Dan’s professionalism and personality enabled us to foster a trusting relationship, which is key when it comes to client-​to-​agent relationship.
Look no further, when you have Dan guiding you in this process…you’re in good hands!

I went through a multitude of realtors before meeting Dan at an open house in Mar Vista — what a difference. He has a no pressure, laid back sales approach and he worked his ass off for us. He also lives on the Westside and has a comprehensive knowledge of all the neighborhoods and school districts and is extremely transparent throughout the entire purchasing process.
I bought my first house in Mar Vista through him and can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you Dan!
