About Dan Dennison
Master Realtor | SimpliHOM | San Diego, CA
I'm Dan Dennison, a licensed real estate agent with SimpliHOM. I didn't get into real estate to "sell." I got into it because I enjoy helping people make clear decisions when the stakes are high. In a market full of noise, I've learned that what clients remember isn't the hype — it's the moment someone slowed down, explained the reality, and protected them from a bad outcome.
With a career spanning decades, I have been licensed as a REALTOR® in five states: Florida, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, and California. I hold an MBA from Vanderbilt University, which provides a strong foundation for navigating the financial and strategic complexities of real estate.

My approach is simple: I tell the truth early, I put everything on the table, and I communicate well. That means I'll point out deal-breakers, flag risks before they get expensive, and make sure you understand what you're signing. I'm not here to rush you — I'm here to guide you.
"Trust and ethical behavior are paramount when I work to assist a client in achieving their optimal transaction success.

At 80 years old, I have personal knowledge of the life changes we face as we age. I have a deep and wonderful understanding of the thoughts, opinions, and concerns of aging adult clients. My process is designed with patient pacing and practical planning to reduce stress and protect your time.
Active Duty & Veteran Clients
As a veteran Naval officer, I am passionate about serving both active duty military and veteran clients. I am very knowledgeable about VA Loans for both active duty personnel and Veterans and have personally had two VA loans in the past, so I understand the unique benefits and processes involved from firsthand experience.
Whether you’re PCSing (Permanent Change of Station) to San Diego, retiring from service, or buying your first home with a VA loan, I know the process inside and out and will guide you every step of the way.

What Integrity Looks Like Here
What Integrity Looks Like Here
I have observed several instances where a homebuyer’s interests were not achieved because a realtor was most concerned about receiving their commission as soon as possible. That is not how I operate.
I always work with clients at their own pace and never force decisions on them. I understand that real estate transactions almost always take more time than expected.
Radical Disclosure for Buyers
I adamantly believe that buyers need as much information as possible about the condition of a considered property before making an offer. You should never be surprised by what you’re buying.
