Dan knows how intimidating real estate in Chicago can be. So, whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to take advantage of an ever-changing market, Dan has you covered.
Having grown up in suburban Deerfield, Dan has lived on the city’s north side since 2008. As a proud Chicagoland native, he knows what makes the Windy City such a special place, and as an active member of the community, Dan is a strong supporter of local businesses.
“Each neighborhood is so unique—from the architecture to the shopping and nightlife, and of course the incredible food scene. I love touring the different neighborhoods with my clients and helping them find their perfect home.”
And with over $175 million in real estate transactions under his belt, Dan is very good at finding those homes. His success is the direct result of hard work, dedication, and staying ahead of market trends. But more important than Dan’s proven track record are the relationships he’s forged over the years. In 2026, Dan the powerhouse SERHANT Realty—a true pioneer in digital real estate marketing—giving his clients all the advantages of a large agency, without sacrificing the personalized service of a boutique shop.
Outside of work Dan is a family man, spending as much time as possible with his wife and twin boys, Harper and Clark. The family loves the outdoors, including Chicago’s majestic lakefront and great local fishing. When the time is right for your family to make a move, buy or sell your house with Straus.
“We were very impressed with Dan’s level of commitment through each step of the process. His knowledge of the North Shore was something we really needed. Once we landed on the house we wanted, Dan was phenomenal at the inspection, alerting us to several potential red flags that we would have otherwise missed. And when it was time to negotiate, Dan knew exactly which levers to pull. Even after closing on the new house, Dan continued to work on our behalf—just a great homebuying experience.”
