Meet Dan Firks of Defined Realty Group @ Keller Williams Infinity in Naperville

When my service was up, I headed south to check out the Florida sun and test my skills at surfing and numerous other water sports. The year 1993 brought me to Naperville where I began taking classes in architecture & design. I was quite impressed with my ability to design commercial and residential buildings. However, I knew this career was not for me. As I spent long hours working beside my drafting table, I often wished I was out in the community working directly with other people. So, I took a part-time job with a home rental agency in Oakbrook, where I began showing rental homes and eventually started selling homes. I had found a career in real estate that I knew I would enjoy for many years. I really love helping families relocate from all corners of the world-selling homes truly fits my personality.

In 1999, I started working with RE/MAX where my philosophy from the very beginning has been, to be Honest, Trustworthy, and Dependable. This philosophy has proven to make my reputation second to NONE! I treat all my buyers and sellers with the utmost respect, and I believe that clients are for life! When my day at Defined Realty Group is finished, I enjoy spending my free time with my dog, Adonis. Adonis is a 100-pound giant schnauzer. Adonis enjoys running and swimming in the “doggie forest preserve” in Naperville.

I am a licensed Realtor. I specialize in representing my clients in the purchase and sale of single-family residences and income properties. I truly love this area and pride myself on my knowledge of current transactions, school districts, neighborhood information, and related services, including mortgage, insurance, and inspection information.

I am a customer driven Realtor dedicated to achieving results and providing exceptional service. If you are in the market to buy or sell a home, I will put my 23 years of real estate expertise to work for you!
