Dan Gorfinkle, Realtor

One client used Dan Gorfinkle on four home transactions over more than ten years, and is lining up a fifth. That kind of repeat business runs through nearly ninety reviews of this Boston real estate agent — buyers and sellers who found him through a friend's referral and then came back themselves, years later, for the next house. Gorfinkle works Greater Boston real estate out of a Newbury Street office — Brookline, Cambridge, Needham, and the city itself show up repeatedly — representing both buyers and sellers. Google shows him at 5★ across 90 ratings, and the Better Business Bureau grades the business A+. Relocation is the other recurring story. Clients moving in from Dallas, New York, South Carolina on military orders, Oregon, and overseas all describe him managing an unfamiliar market for them. A couple of reviews go further: one client had him negotiate a Brookline condo sale while she was on vacation abroad, and another had him help buy a house and arrange a rental while the buyers finished work overseas. The competitive-market wins are specific, not just adjectives — a condo that sold for the highest price in its building, a house marketed and under offer within three days of listing, a buyer who'd already been outbid elsewhere before Dan got them the next house they wanted. Several reviews describe him pulling together a network of lawyers, lenders, inspectors, painters, and stagers on short notice to make a tight-timeline sale or purchase work. Nothing negative surfaces in the reviews on file, and the BBB grade is clean. One practical thing worth asking about: Dan works with a team, including an associate named Mario on at least one deal, so it's worth confirming upfront who'll actually be showing houses day to day. He reads as a strong fit for anyone navigating a competitive Boston-area sale or purchase — especially out-of-state buyers relocating in, or repeat clients who've worked with him before.
