Dan has gone above and beyond expectations with regards to my entire real estate transaction. He has answered each one of my (many) questions thoroughly and accurately. He has remained objective and forward moving during occasional setbacks in the process. I have and will continue to recommend his services to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
My wife and I recently worked with Dan at James Patrick Real Estate on a purchase in Fargo. Dan and James Patrick’s commitment to honesty, professionalism, fairness and transparency make them tough to beat. I’d strongly recommend them for anybody looking to make a real estate transaction. The great baseball legend Yogi Berra once said “You can observe a lot just by watching.” Dan is a true professional and it’s fun to watch.
Scott Heinle
As a first time home buyer, I really appreciated the guidance Dan provided during the entire process. He had great recommendations and worked with the builder to ensure that the finished product was done to my liking and on time. Most importantly, Dan was easy to work with during what can be a stressful time.
Angela Ridl
Dan Perrine is one of a kind! He is all about helping his clients and anyone around him. I have seen him go above and beyond numerous times. He is fantastic to work with, very easygoing and is always on top of everything. I highly recommend Dan!
It was a pleasure working with the team at James Patrick Real Estate. I have worked with Dan and Nate and they are both very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I like the way they think outside the box and and the unique business model they use to sell your home and save you money.
Tara Sather
Being involved with a company that values people and fairness over personal gain has changed my perception of success. James Patrick Real Estate offers a non-traditional fee structure that is incredibly rare and difficult to find in the Fargo-Moorhead metro!
Amanda Senger
Dan is the man! I recently purchased my first home with his assistance. His patience and positive attitude helped me along the way. Dan also kept me informed and is always early for appointments. I bought a home that was being used as a rental and the tenants were extremely annoyed that they had to move. We encountered some resistance when we came for the inspection. Dan remained cool and diplomatic and we were able to complete the inspection. This guy has your best interests in mind!
Ryan & Amanda Goodman
Dan and the team at James Patrick Real Estate know the market, understand what makes a home sell, and give honest advice. This is a no BS approach to buying and selling Real Estate. If you are buying or selling you MUST have a conversation with Dan and team. If not, you’re just leaving cash on the table.
Dan was great to work with through the entire process, He was always available for questions and knows the market well. I have sold a few properties with other companies and James Patrick Realty was by far the easiest to work with. If you want to have a great experience, including saving money, I highly recommend James Patrick Realty!
Eric Hansen
As a 1st time home buyer, I was overwhelmed at the thought of making such a large purchase. In my dealings with the team at James Patrick Real Estate, that was alleviated from the very beginning. Dan was immediately available to help me find the perfect house for me. His professional yet sensible approach to home buying made him a great agent. Rich then helped throughout the purchase & closing process, making it a very stress free experience. If you’re in the market to buy/sell a house, I highly recommend the team at James Patrick Real Estate!
Dan Perrine with James Patrick Real Estate in Fargo was an awesome real estate broker/agent for us. He helped sell our rental home in a few weeks, and gave us extremely good advice along the way. He helped us price the property right, and rightfully advised us to make the little tweeks in the house that we needed to do to make the sale more successful for us. Simply put, Dan went above and beyond from start to finish. We would surely recommend you go with Dan at JPRE if you plan to sell your home, or you’re looking to buy a property!
Dan + Rich were excellent to work with + met our every need. They saved us so much time + money with the sale of our home. They are unreal work horses who really delivered between coordinating the buyer’s fix list (we already moved out of town so this was a HUGE help) to being there when we closed the deal. They made it easy to build trust quickly. Many people I know have utilized their services more than once – that says a lot!
Becky Fell
Dan makes you feel comfortable and is an honest agent that gives you the facts. He offers his opinion when asked and always has my needs into his schedule quickly.
Travis Russell
Dan and his team communicated with us clearly and quickly. They got right to the point and were always available when we had questions. We are so glad we had them sell our home! We’re already recommending Dan’s team to our friends.
Dan, Jaden, and the team at JPRE were nothing short of awesome! Not only are they the most fairly priced realtors in the region, they are also the BEST ones! The JPRE plan, and cost, is so straightforward, and there were no hidden fees or unexpected extra expenses at closing. I have referred them to friends and family, who thought the flat rate of $3500 is “too good to be true.” I can assure you that it is not, and it is 100% true. We sold an expensive high-end home, and saved several THOUSANDS of dollars through JPRE. Dan was completely honest and transparent throughout the entire process, and we could not be happier with the start-to-finish service that we experienced. If you are selling your home, you should have your head examined if you think of working with anyone else!
Ron & Marie Weiss
To put it in simple terms, Dan did a great and thoroughly professional job with the sale of our home. This was not a typical sale. We live out of state and though we were able to fly in to assist with repairs and improvements Dan needed to orchestrate much of the work. He did a great job in helping us meet our goals, always being available and going the extra mile. We would highly recommend him for your future realty needs. Thanks Dan for everything.
Dan and Ryan were great to work with through the entire process. They were able to answer all of our questions in a timely fashion, which made the transition from a home buyer to a home seller seem like a breeze. Thanks again gentlemen.
Shawn Gray
My name is Shawn Gray. My wife and I had been looking for quite some time for the right piece of property. We either wanted one in town or on a great lake in northern Minnesota. Dan spent a lot of time showing many places, communicating thoroughly with us throughout the process and keeping us up to date on new pieces hitting the market that he thought may fit for us. He knew what we were looking for and was patient and consistent while trying to help us find “our property”. When the right lake place came on the market, Dan was there with us the entire way: driving the two hours during the initial showing, managing all the details, communicating with the seller’s agent, coordinating closing, etc. He was great. Very supportive, friendly and engaged during the entire process. It wasn’t just “another transaction” for him. He really cared. We absolutely love our new house and would truly recommend Dan to anyone who’s looking to find their own “right place”.
Robert Martin
From start to finish Dan did an amazing job. I was impressed with his ability to handle some situations with the other realtors and their clients. You only realize how good people are when things happen outside the norm. Dan’s communication throughout the whole process was quick, always keeping us in the loop. I couldn’t recommend a better person!
Raymond Pizzaro
James Patrick Real Estate will break the status quo on how the Red River Valley buys and sells homes. The personal touch coupled with the care and concern of the best interests of the customer is like no other. If you want to save money, be represented with your needs and desires, and want to have a true relationship with a realtor who will put you first I encourage you to look no further.
Brad Friesen
Dan was a friend before he helped us sell a duplex, and remained one afterward – always a good sign! He was attentive, thorough, always on time, gave us time to think, and took a personal interest in getting us, and the buyer, a good and fair deal. I have recommended his services to many others and will continue to do so.
Travis Oxendahl
Dan is absolutely the best! He was amazing to work with, flexible and easy to get a hold of with any questions. We were first time home buyers and he was very helpful along every step of the way.
Dan & Team were easy and great to work with! Don’t know who else I’d want to work with when it comes to buying and selling a home.
Dan is simply the best! He had our house sold in less than 24 hours and made sure we took the offer that made the most sense for us. He worked with us when purchasing our new home as well and the closing process could not have gone smoother. He was available to us and stepped in to help us reach out to our builder with questions. We are so grateful for his involvement during this big change for our family!
I admit we were apprehensive at first, to good to be true kind of thing. We were very pleased with the process. He is straight forward and cares about the client. He was all around helpful. Sold in less than 48 hours.
Ryan & Erin Theis
Honest, efficient, knowledgeable, and a value that is unmatched. James Patrick Real Estate is a game changer. If your looking for a no B.S. real estate agent you need to talk to them. I have worked with many of the big real estate companies in the Fargo Moorhead area, either as a buyer or seller and all of them left me very disappointed. After my previous experiences I saw little value in the real estate service as a whole until I was referred to the great people at James Patrick. When listing our last house my wife and I trusted and followed all of their advice like replacing the entry doors. We staged it using their advise and paid for professional pictures like they advised. The end result was a full price offer within 24 hours. The night it showed up on the MLS there was literally a line of people waiting to get in the door to see it. To get that result a lot needed to line up, but one of the biggest contributing factors was trusting James Patrick Real Estate.
Tiffany and Brody Lothspeich
We got the pleasure of working with Ryan Schmoll at James Patrick Real Estate. We are so incredibly grateful for his honest advice, down-to-earth attitude and diligent assistance throughout the process of selling our first home and purchasing our forever home! He never gave up on us and he made what we thought was impossible, possible! Not only did help us get the best value out of both homes, he also saved us thousands (over $8000+) in reality fees! If you’re looking to sell and/or buy a home, I would recommend the team at James Patrick a thousand times over! Their model really works to the benefit of everyone. 🙂
Daniel Bryant
Dan and his crew are close friends of mine, so call me biased, but I truly don’t think you will find a better real estate team than the group at James Patrick Real Estate. Whether it’s their dedicated service and willingness to always do what is right and best for their clients, the honesty and fairness of their pricing model, or the transparency and clarity of how they operate, they are the real deal! You will see it all from the first minute you sit down with them – their integrity, sincerity, and care – and you’ll most likely end up calling them “friends” in the end.
Brady Nash
Fantastic communication throughout the process and a fraction of the normal realtor charge. It’s an easy decision to work with them. Keep thousands of your dollars, in your pocket.
I had the pleasure of working with Ryan Schmoll. He was great to work with! His calm demeanor and thorough process made everything flow smoothly. He was always available to answer my questions, and he updated me throughout the entirety of the process. He has an excellent understanding of the ins and outs of real estate, so I was very comfortable with putting the sale of my home in his hands. I would highly suggest anyone to work with Ryan!
Corey and Brandi Richart
I would highly recommend Dan Perrine, in fact, I already have. He was very easy to work with. Answered every call or returned calls in a very timely manner. When any issues arose, he had the answers or found them out for us. He put our interests before his. He was a very calming voice, in what at times was a very stressful situation. If I ever move again, he will be the first person I call.
Chanthip Thayravanh
If I could give Dan a million ‘Thanks’, I would. He went above and beyond to help my family obtain our first home. His customer service and professionalism are beyond exemplary. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know who would be needing his service.
Dan has sold two of my homes, and most recently helped me seamlessly execute the build of a new home on a very tight timeline! I can’t say enough good things about Dan (and James Patrick Realty). He is prompt, straightforward, casual, and generous; and that’s the type of person I appreciate doing business with! The amount of money saved with their flat fees is certainly noteworthy! And beyond the money aspect, Dan is just a really great human to work with. Highly recommend!
We feel fortunate to have been able to work with Dan. He adds a perfect layer of comfort and reassurance to the entire process. Highly recommended!
Lauri Jorgensen
This company is the real deal. I love the flat fee concept and it saved me a lot of money. Rich was very upfront, honest, and available. I would recommend James Patrick Real Estate to anyone!
Julie Schaan
Enjoyed working with Dan! He was responsive and followed through in a very timely manner. He was very willing to drive all over lakes country to give us a good idea of what was available. I would recommend him!!
Dan and his team were amazing! We were in constant communication with him and always knew where we were at the in process. They were professional, communicative, kind, and efficient.
Every home buyers/sellers experience should be like this! We saved a ton of money with his fee structure and had the best experience we have had yet (and this is our third home)! 10/10 Recommend and would use a million times over! Oh and did I mention they sold our house in 24 hours with multiple offers.
Brady Sparks
Finding an honest and reliable realtor is something you should look for when you decide to buy or sell a home. I have had situations in the past that made me reluctant to trust someone to help me find and secure a purchase on a home. Needless to say, I found the right man for the job. Dan was the person I put my trust in and he exceeded above and beyond in helping me and my wife find our home. Why choose Dan to buy or sell a home? He works for YOU! There is no pressure and he listens and doesn’t push you into something you are uncomfortable with. He forms a relationship with you and uses his tools and expert knowledge to find exactly what you are looking for. As soon as a home hit the market Dan was calling and sending me information on homes and he adjusted his schedule so we could get on the property right away. He works for you in an honest and respectful way. He helped us put in a reasonable offer and negotiated and we got the house! I wouldn’t only recommend him to everyone I know who may be looking to buy or sell a home, but I know when I go to sell he is my guy. Simply put Dan is the Man! Thank you, Dan for helping me and my wife find our home!
Rory Collins
I’ve been involved in numerous business transactions with Dan over the 10 years I’ve known him. James Patrick Real Estate builds value for their clients. Conducting business with efficiency and integrity while passing along those savings to their clients never goes out of style. Their business model is second to none. I love JPRE’s approach to their commission structure. The clients finally get rewarded for a broker/agent working diligently and expediently to get a transaction closed that’s equitable for all parties.
I worked with Ryan Schmoll when selling my house. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. In a slow market Ryan did everything he could to bring attention to the property. He gave great advice throughout the process, answered any and all of my questions, and was always available. I highly recommend James Patrick Real Estate.
We were in the process of selling our home FSBO. Dan and his team did an AMAZING job guiding us through the paperwork, making needed changes, and offering advice. The sale took longer than expected and James Patrick was there through the whole process. The best part, I saved a little more than $7,000 using James Patrick and was able to use the extra savings to buy a riding lawn mower at our new place! I would highly recommend using James Patrick whether FSBO or MLS!
Philip Abeln
Dan did a great job selling our home. Dan provided clear communication throughout the selling process and never felt pressed to do anything. I appreciate Dan listening to our questions and addressing them timely. Thanks Dan for your help!
Paula Stackhouse
Dan was not only professional and knowledgeable but his demeanor made it a stress-free transaction from beginning to closing. He went as far as to climb up on my second story deck railing to double-check for possible hail damage to my roof. A+++ all the way. This is the Realtor you need when listing or buying a home!
Travis and Angela Braunagel
Angela and I really appreciated Dan’s honesty! He will tell what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Dan was also always on time and was available to take a call or text at any time. I would, and have, recommended Dan to anyone who asks.
Many thanks to Ryan on providing excellent service in the recent sale of our home! The process was seamless and saved us a lot of money. As soon as we signed with Ryan at James Patrick, our home was listed on MLS and Zillow, and within an hour, three showings were booked. From start to finish we received excellent, professional help. We strongly recommend that you seek out Rayn before you make one of the most important decisions of your life – selling or buying a home.
Alli and Zach Bertschi
We can’t say enough about Dan Perrine and James Patrick Real Estate. Never in a million years did we think we would be living in our dream home at this point in our lives – and Dan made it happen. Any time we hit a bump, I knew they would take care of it. Everything was so seamless, so easy and so exciting. Thank you doesn’t seem like enough. I recommend Dan and James Patrick Real Estate to everyone, hands down.
Justin Holten
I would highly recommend James Patrick Real Estate to everyone. Dan made the entire process effortless for us.
Jon & Amanda Rubis
I don’t think most people that sell their house in a few weeks would say that their agent was underpaid. In this case, it was true. Our dynamic was very unique since we had moved across the country before the house went on the market. From keeping an eye on the contractor we hired to fix the house, to making sure the driveway was shoveled and the heat stayed on, Dan did it all. And Dan was always available to answer questions and helped us keep an even keel when our first buyer walked away. I can’t imagine another realtor being more accessible and available – and he charges less than other agents!
Scott Beckman
I would suggest to anyone, that is looking to buy/sell a house to contact Dan Perrine. Dan was very helpful, he answered all of our questions and quickly took care of any concerns we had. We truly appreciated his laid-back selling style and his calming demeanor during a stressful time in our lives. We are first time home buyers and Dan was instrumental in making our families dream come true!!
I can’t recommend James Patrick Real Estate enough. Specifically Ryan Schmoll. We had a brand new build and we were helped out through the entire process. The commission structure was amazing. Most realtors will take the full 3% no matter how much work you do. James Patrick realizes that 3% is an incredible amount for sometimes a small amount of work. They paid some of that commission back to us. We were very happy with the arrangement. If you are going to buy a house, save yourself a large amount of money and work with James Patrick Real Estate. Thanks again for all your help Ryan!
Dan and Jaden offered far more value than we could have imagined. We were extremely satisfied with the level of support they provided while providing a flat rate rather than commission by percentage.
Call them today! I don’t understand why EVERYONE doesn’t use James Patrick Real Estate to sell their home in Fargo-Moorhead. We saved over $6,500 because of their flat rate listing fee! $6,500!!! Go to their website and see how much you will save, its crazy. The more your home is worth, the more you will save. Even the fee paid to the buyer agent was less than expected. We worked with Ryan, who was very knowledgeable, friendly, and always quick to respond. We even ended up selling our home for more than we initially hoped would be possible and we accepted an offer on our first day of listing. Don’t waste your money on other real estate companies and their overpriced fees. James Patrick Real Estate will offer you the same service at a much better value and allow you to keep more of your home’s equity in your pocket. Call them!!
Darrel and Cheeri Hestdalen
We want to thank you for your positive influence on our journey through selling and buying a home. We are still unpacking. You didn’t tell us that packed boxes are like rabbits, they multiply from packing to unpacking.🤓 We received the refund check. I had a problem with online deposit- it was too big. Sooo I had to go to the bank to make the deposit. I took the opportunity to share my good good story with James Patrick. Thanks for helping make our journey a positive one, physically and financially.
Dan and his team is on top of the entire process and make it super easy to understand. We saved so much money and time with JPRE! Thank you!
Marlene and Rocky Ridl
We are so pleased working with Dan Perrine. He is so personable, professional and honest. Dan answered all of our phone calls quickly and answered our questions. He has a fantastic team of professionals in all the right departments. We highly recommend Dan at James Patrick Real Estate to any buyer or seller. Thank you for a great, stress-free experience.
Chris Schenck
Dan was excellent to work with. He was readily available to answer questions or give advice and made the selling experience low stress. I would highly recommend him and the James Patrick business model on selling homes.
Adam and Brittany
Dan and his team at James Patrick Real Estate did a phenomenal job on the sale of our home. He was extremely honest throughout the entire process, even if it was something we didn’t necessarily want to hear, which both my wife and I greatly appreciated. I have worked in both the mortgage and insurance industries and would recommend Dan and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. They have an innovative approach to the real estate industry and absolutely deliver on their promise of keeping their customers costs down while maintaining great service. I would recommend anyone buying or selling to sit down with Dan or someone from his team to learn for themselves what made James Patrick the right choice for our family.
Mike Felber
Our home search with James Patrick Real Estate was a great experience. My wife and I worked with Dan and Rich. Both men gave great service and worked hard to help us find our home. The company sales commission model is extremely fair. Rich and Dan had a good knowledge of the homes in the area, helping us find what we wanted. Dan helped us negotiate a fair price and stayed with us through closing. I recommend Dan and his company to all my friends. He saved us thousands of dollars in realtor commissions.
Working with Dan was great! Super easy and efficient, would recommend again anytime and great rate!
Heidi Dooley
Definitely recommend to ANYONE looking at selling their house – the fee is a flat rate and there are NO surprises – Ryan was a great realtor and we are so glad we listed with James Patrick Real Estate – you always hear … if it’s too good to be true, it probably is. That is not the case – Ryan did everything and more (took down Christmas lights before pictures 🤣🤣) that you would expect of a realtor
Mark Sanders
We had met with 2 other realtors before choosing Dan. From the start Dan was up front and honest about everything we discussed when it came to selling our home. We did not feel pressured into doing anything we were not comfortable with and his knowledge of the market in this area was very impressive. His communication with us from start to finish was perfect. If he did not answer his phone we got a call back within 10 minutes. His level-headed calm approach to selling real estate is something that put our minds at ease while going through this process. We would recommend using Dan as your realtor whether you are looking to buy or sell. He does a great job!
Somsak Bounvongxay
Dan is an amazing agent. He is very professional and knowledgeable. I am very satisfied with his service and would recommend him to anyone who will be needing a great agent like Dan. Trust me, you will never be disappointed. His professionalism and great attitude are superb.
I worked with Ryan Schmoll at James Patrick Real Estate to find my first home. He was recommended to me by family that had recently worked with him. My experience was great. Ryan listened to what I was looking for and after looking at a few homes, found one that had everything I asked for. Ryan was very proactive throughout the whole process and responsive when I had questions. The flat fee model also saved me a significant amount of money. I absolutely would work with Ryan again and will refer others to him as well!
Dan and Jaden were great to work with and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. Make sure to ask for Dan and he will walk you through how they will save you money working with them! They were available to us whenever we had questions, and always gave honest feedback which I really appreciated. To add on top our great experience, we also save money compared to working with traditional realtors.
Mike Kelner
I cannot stress enough of what an outstanding job Dan did with guiding me through the buying experience. Anytime I needed a question answered Dan was immediately on it and got me the information I needed. If you want a top-notch professional then Dan is your man. I was very, very pleased with his effort and professionalism. You won’t find anyone better so why go anywhere else. This guy knows what he’s doing.
Dan is a gifted and talented Owner/Agent, he is responsive, offers advice if asked, and GENUINELY CARES. Our new home is our second purchased with Dan and James Patrick Real Estate, he will be our first call if we do it again. Thanks Dan for guiding us through this wonderful process!
Dan did a great job of helping me sell a challenging house. Very happy with the results and Dan’s knowledge of the market.
Jill Larson
Dan was an absolute pleasure to work with! I wouldn’t recommend anyone else to help you find your dream home. If I had a question, he could answer it! He goes above and beyond when it comes to helping you find the home that is perfect for you. He’s more than a realtor, he’s your friend! He would always make time for anything I needed and if he couldn’t, he would rearrange his schedule to fit. I felt like I was his #1 priority! You will too! If you’re looking for a smooth buying process, Dan is definitely the right fit for you!
We at Limelight Builders worked with Ryan Schmoll and the James Patrick team to list and sell two new construction homes. We received valuable guidance and expertise throughout the process. The communication was excellent and Ryan provided very professional advice that led to successful transactions. We look forward to working with Ryan and the James Patrick team again and highly recommend them.
My husband and I worked with Ryan Schmoll to not only find our dream home but to sell our current home. Ryan was so responsive and answered all our questions. My husband and I were even more excited for our next chapter because we had peace of mind that everything was taken care of by someone we could really trust. I would highly recommend working with Ryan whether you are buying or selling!
Ryan & Janeice Pierce
Truly a great experience. Felt very comfortable and he did not fit the stereotype of what I had thought previously. We couldn’t have been happier with his assistance. I would recommend to anyone just to sit down and have a conversation with Dan if you are looking at doing something with real estate.
PS Bartron
We highly recommend James Patrick Real Estate. Dan was great to work with when selling our home and buying a new one. Dan answered all our questions and communication was great. We really appreciate all Dan’s hard work, he’s a great realtor!
Jeremy and Megan Davis
We could not have had a better experience with James Patrick Real Estate. Dan was excellent to work with and always made us feel like we were his number 1 priority. We really enjoyed his calm, laid-back style which made the entire process go as smooth as possible. I could not recommend Dan enough to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home. He is knowledgeable, professional, and will save you a bunch of money!!
The James Patrick Listing Flat Fee, is an ABSOLUTE for a Home Seller. The Professional Photograph’s, Service & Communication from Dan was outstanding. Overall, just an efficient experience. I highly recommend Dan/James Patrick Real Estate!!
Dan, working with you and James Patrick Real Estate was very positive. We felt you represented us well and you bringing in a home inspector allowed us to discover a few things about the property that we would not have known without your help. I would definitely recommend you and your team if I was selling a property and will call on you again in the future if we are buying another property. Thanks for your help with the negotiation, quick closing and overall buying experience.
Katelyn Sparks
Dan is an amazing guy! He was so helpful in our search for a new home. When we started the process, Dan ACTUALLY listened to what we were looking for in a home without interrupting. He did a great job keeping us updated on new houses on the market. He was extremely flexible when it came to taking us to look at houses. When we found our house, Dan was very helpful with any questions we had before and during the closing process. I would highly recommend Dan to any of my family and friends who are looking for a realtor!
Penny and John Chambers
Working with Dan during the finding, purchasing and closing of our first home was such a great experience! With this being our first home purchase I was a little nervous but he made the whole process a breeze! Dan was very knowledgeable, honest and was awesome with communicating with us thru the entire process! I honestly don’t think we would have been able to secure the home of our dreams without him! 5 stars all the way!
