Dan Schlaack

Licensed Realtor

As a Realtor, I am dedicated to providing exceptional, personalized service for every one of my clients. With a track record of selling homes quickly and for the highest price, I am proud to have received rave reviews from all of my clients that I have been privileged to have had the opportunity to work with.  I will work relentlessly to exceed your real estate expectations, every step of the way!

Originally from South Haven Michigan, where I was born and raised, my family and I have lived in many cities from coast to coast, with the majority of that time spent in Chicago and its suburbs, where I've been a realtor for years. 

In 2021, I expanded my real estate business to include my home town of South Haven and all of Southwest Michigan, in addition to Naperville and the greater Chicagoland area!  If you are thinking of moving to the sunset coast of southwest Michigan, I can help you on both sides of Lake Michigan!

My wife Kerry and I have two amazing sons, Jack and Henry. Henry, the younger of the two, is affected by autism, a neurological disorder that affects 1 out of every 54 children born today. Deeply impacting our family, we have been outspoken advocates for Autism awareness and long-time supporters of Autism Speaks, the nation’s largest science and advocacy organization for over a decade. As a parent and Realtor, I am committed to being a resource for families as they navigate the difficult task of finding housing opportunities for those affected by autism, as I have first-hand experience with the emotional and financial challenges that accompany the disorder.

I LOOK FORWARD TO THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE YOU...On Both Sides of Lake Michigan!

"This was my first opportunity to work with Dan. I can assure you, he exceeded every expectation. In my experience with 23 buy & sell real estate transactions, his professional attitude, approach & attention to detail are setting a new standard. From the initial walk through and evaluation of our home, to facilitating the final details on the day of closing, Dan’s commitment as our listing realtor was unmatched. He had an honest, logical approach to pricing our home and multiple “value added” suggestions on specific areas to spruce up and showcase. He also presented a well thought out, tailored strategy on how to market our home, and is a talented negotiator producing multiple competing offers - all presented within a week of listing! I look forward to utilizing Dan’s real estate experience again in the near future, & he has my strongest recommendation. I am confident his professional experience will ensure your real estate sale, or purchase, will be the very best possible! "

"Dan made the experience painless in a very stressful situation. He was a great. He made it simple from the beginning to the end, even when things were not easy for us. He was more than a realtor, he was a true friend in real estate. He was honest and professional. He explained everything you need to know and then some. I really look forward to working with him again in the future!"

  -The Jakab Family - Carol Stream, Client

"Dan helped us to buy a beautiful house in Chicago suburb at a reasonable price. His sense of market price is accurate. His knowledge of housing, including infrastructure, exterior, interior, electrical layout, plumbing etc. are top-notch, which helped us to get a better term in negotiation for credit. He also helped arrange a bunch of needed quotations for services and repairs, which saved my energy and time so that I can focus on more important things. The whole buying process was smooth, thanks to Dan's guidance through detailed steps in a prompt, patient, and efficient manner. Highly recommended. "

  -Wen Family - Naperville, Client

"We had the best experience with Dan and can't say enough great things about how he used his skills to get us a house we love. Moving to a new state and in a short time frame can feel like an uphill battle but Dan took the reins and made everything work perfectly. He was zeroed in on our needs and wants to give us a list of options. Once we found the right home, Dan dove into contracting and got us the best price and concessions. He even got our purchase date to match our sell date and we got to move right in after our long journey. His communication and availability is top notch throughout the process. We have even referred our friends to him as they look to purchase. Thank you for all the time and efforts Dan!"

Coldwell Banker Anchor Realty

As an agent who's an expert in Chicagoland and Southwest Michigan, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:

Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home! I also have working knowledge and experience with home construction, building codes, zoning in the suburbs and the city. 

Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will effectively promote and advertise your home, aggressively pursue prospective buyers, negotiate the best purchase price, coordinate and oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. Most importantly, I'll be there from start to finish, taking care of everything you need, making myself available any time for your questions and concerns.  I'm your point person throughout the entire transaction.

Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.  I have a proven track record of exceptional service and honest advice that has resulted in my clients receiving top dollar for their home in the shortest time possible.
