Dan Dan McAllister's Recommendations

Have Dan & Mary keep you in the Driver’s Seat (and put more money in your pocket)!

I work for the Navy and I was promoted, but needed to move from Oxnard within 30 days. What do I do with my house? I called Mary and Dan and explained my situation; I turned the mission of selling my house over to them and focused on taking care of my family. Five weeks later the new buyer closed on my house and I was paid. In about 36 days from initial phone call to money in the bank; that is production! Both Dan and Mary communicated clearly as I knew and understood every step. I turned every document around to them ASAP; more so, I followed their instructions as they both made it easy. Mary and Dan presented a sales and marketing strategy up front and explain their logic. We reviewed and agreed as they put me in the driver's seat and listened to my concerns. They set all the appointments for inspections and photos and I ensured the house was ready. They stayed on the schedule and ensured the work was done to move to the next level. Mary supported 14 viewing appointments in one day and worked multiple offers. Dan and Mary presented multiple offers with detailed information for my wife and I to review and make the final decision based on the facts and information. The added value was the overall level of detail during the entire process, they did their homework. I bought my house with Mary's and Dan's service and trusted them to sell my investment 22 months later. The results was very profitable as the process they use drives a competitive sales price and results in more money.

Pick Mary & Dan if you want Realtors who understand

Real estate is a business and personal investment, pick Mary Gregoryk and Dan McAllister if you want realtors that understand both.  I purchased my house over 18 months ago when The Government moved me from Florida to Oxnard. First, I came out to CA for house hunting, and I spent three days here in Oxnard with Mary viewing property and making assessments on location and property value.  I put in an offer and was in contract with no drama or mess. Secondly, I had to process a loan, sell my house in FL, and Mary and Dan were always a step ahead on the transactions, stayed in communication, and always listened.  Third, they both assisted in the timing of the transaction, so I closed on my house in FL and drove to CA and purchased my house in CA and moved in. Now the Government is moving me again and I am still investing into Mary and Dan as my Real Estate Experts.

Fast Sale with Minimal Inconvenience

I had an investment property (duplex) I had inherited and wanted to sell.  I had great renters in the property which I appreciated but didn't know how to sell it when it was occupied.  I did not want to impose too much on my long-term renters.  How could it be shown?  How could I have Open Houses?  What about the security of the renter's possessions with people viewing the property at all times of day and/ or coordinating showings with two different renters?
Then I discussed it with Mary and Dan at YourBestEdge and they had all the answers!  At their expense, they performed all the inspections and transformed the property into a YourBestEdge Transparent Listing!  We knew what we were selling and the Buyers knew what they were buying.  There was one Open House and within a week we had received 6 offers and settled on one ... fully non-contingent and closed within 14 days.  The renters were minimally inconvenienced and, therefore, very helpful with the sale.
Now I have the liquidity I needed for other projects and a well needed vacation.

Probate Sold In One Day!

It was a Probate sale and I was working two jobs and going to school working on my Engineering degree.  Handling the Probate was a huge load on top of all that.  Dan and Mary coordinated directly with my attorney, greatly speeding up the process, and with the bank holding the mortgage, keeping me in the loop all along the way.  What a relief knowing it all was being handled!  As soon as the Probate process allowed, they got the house sold in 1 day and it closed 14 days later!  I am very pleased and cannot imagine using anyone else.

They sold my Home & sold me another!

Mary and Dan are both very professional and a pleasure to work with! They sold my home in Los Angeles and helped me buy a home in Camarillo - It was all good! Here is the link to the Google Review

One of the Best!

Dan did an excellent job for us, finding a house and always going the extra mile.  He is extremely knowledgeable, all communication and forms sent in a timely manner and when we had questions he was available immediately to answer.  His behind the scenes team was also great, easy to work with and responded quickly as well.  We have had many Realtors in the past, and hands down Dan is one of the very best!!!

A JOB WELL DONE

We would like to thank Mary Gregoryk and Dan Mc Allister for a JOB WELL DONE. They were very professional & knowledgeable as they presented their way of selling houses. It happened that things in Real Estate have changed so much since our last experience in Real Estate. My husband was reluctant to try something new. We are so glad that we took Mary and Dan's advice. Everything went according to Mary and Dan's time line. It all went as they had said it would.

My husband and I are very pleased that we used their advice and all ended well. We are so pleased with the way everything turned out that we have already recommended Mary and Dan to some close friends of ours, for the sale of  their house.

Probate Sale at Maximum Value

Dan and Mary were very sincere and honest in helping me sell the property in Probate.  They gave good advice, were very accommodating, and put a lot of their time to make sure the property was ready for the Open House.  My brother who died had a young family so they had to get the most we could from the house.  Dan and Mary completed all the investigations at their expense so we knew what we had to do to prepare the house for maximum value.  Their marketing strategy worked perfectly.  Their assistance had somehow lightened up my load as the Administrator and eased my worries particularly at a time when my family was going through a difficult time after the loss of a loved one. (Note from Dan and Mary:  His house was sold for over 11% over asking, far exceeding his expectations)

From Tear-Down to Legacy Estate

My parents had moved out of their house into assisted living and shortly thereafter my father passed away ... it was time to sell the house.  I was grieving, overwhelmed with the responsibility of being in charge of the trust and of my mother's care, and lived 7 hours away.  I was at a loss on even how to begin to handle the house.  While the bones were good, it was very outdated.  Some members of my family thought of it as a tear down and wanted to sell it as is for whatever we could get for it.
When I spoke with the YourBestEdge Team, they had a better idea.  The house was in an excellent neighborhood with a lot of demand ... with some updating we could get a lot more money for it.   They handled everything keeping me in the loop all the way.  What a relief!  They found a stager and contractor who remodeled the two bathrooms and kitchen, refinished the flooring and painted the entire inside of the house as well as spruced up the yard to give it great curb appeal.  The end product was a staged home ready to go to market.  All of that cost about 6% of the pre-improved house value and it netted us an additional 30%.
Dan and Mary suggested the list price, held the house open four days straight, we received 26 offers and by the end of the week we were under contract.  And, because they did the inspections up front (at their cost), the contract was with NO contingencies!  They really took the hassle out with their Transparent Listing package!
By increasing the value of the estate, my brother was actually able to retire and the grandkids got money they all used to buy or improve their homes!  A legacy both my parents would be proud of.

They made the Home Buying Process Quick and Easy!

They took every Covid precaution while helping my wife and I buy our first home They made the process quick and easy to understand. They took the time to explain everything we needed to know as first time home buyers and were patient with all of our questions.  I've used Your Best Edge in the past to sell my father's home after he passed away.  I had such a wonderful experience despite my circumstance that I had to call them again. Excellent, friendly service.  Very professional! I highly recommend them when looking to buy or sell a home. Link to the Yelp Review.

Uncle Dan’s Winning Offer First Time Out

We had been looking for a home in Santa Cruz, CA for well over a year.  We had saved the down payment, made many, many offers, but none of them were accepted.  We had used a few different agents and had become frustrated.  We discussed our frustration with Uncle Dan and asked if he could just do it for us.  This was totally outside of Uncle Dan's local area, but he agreed to do it if we found the house.
Dan prepared us with the YourBestEdge Buyers Advantage.  I was fully preApproved for a loan, complete through underwriting, just waiting for the house.  It just took a day or two. Then, we found the house we wanted.  Because of the Buyers Advantage, Dan was able to write a powerful offer the Seller could not ignore.  Indeed, we were the winning offer first time out.  "Even though he was an out of area agent, the offer could not be ignored!"
Today, we live in our own home in Santa Cruz raising our daughter and enjoying the pride of home ownership.  (Note from Dan:  We are so pleased to have been a part of that.)

Mary & Dan are absolutely amazing!

Mary and Dan are absolutely amazing! They went above and beyond for our family to help us find the perfect first home. Both are extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and personal. It was an awesome experience working with them. I highly recommend them, and will definitely be working with them again in the future when we are ready to expand!

When Things Don’t Go As Planned

My brother and I were the executors for our Mother’s estate after her death which included the sale of her house.  We expected a fairly quick sale so the heirs could begin benefitting from the legacy left to them. Sadly, when we listed the house at 1150 Corte Riviera in Camarillo, things didn’t exactly go as planned. We had listed with an agent who both over-promised and under-delivered. It became clear to us that most of the promises we were given were simply gimmicks to get us to list their house! Finally, after over 9 months with lackluster activity, the listing expired off of the market” It was one of the most frustrating experiences our family ever experienced. With our own schedules and living out of state, it was difficult to keep returning to check on the property and try to figure why it was not selling.  Our agent told us these properties “sold themselves!” “Mary and Dan listed the house and went to work right away, having the house inspected, staged for the target market (it wasn’t grandma’s house anymore!) and employing pro-active marketing techniques to attract agents and buyers to the house. In fact, the YourBestEdge Marketing Plan caused about 40 buying parties to attend the Open House on a rainy day… I couldn’t believe it!” exclaimed Betsey who attended the gate to let people in. (An identical floor plan in the development also had an Open House the same day with only 2 attendees!) It was all worth it, for in just 15 days after hitting the market, a buyer made an offer on the house and it was fully negotiated.  Less than a month later, the house sale closed and we were back to their normal lives ... finally. “Mary and Dan came in, and got more work done in one week than our prior agent had done in over 9 months while he had the listing,”
