"Vanguard has the best marketing in the Bay Area, an unmatched understanding of local markets, exceptional leadership, and some of the finest agents in the industry," says Dan Dodd.

Over the past few years, Dan and his team have significantly expanded their reach, making substantial inroads into Marin County while continuing to strengthen their already formidable presence in San Francisco's luxury market. Dan anticipates that reuniting with Vanguard will fuel continued growth and elevate their market position further.

"Our goal is clear: strengthen our presence in Marin County and continue to significantly grow our footprint in the luxury markets of San Francisco," adds Dan.

Joining Dan in his return to Vanguard Properties are his husband Hiro Dodd, fellow returning Vanguard agent Chris Stover, and team member Jonathan Jump. Together, they form The Dan Dodd Group, a team known for their unique blend of deep market insight, proven negotiation skills, and an enjoyable, relationship-driven approach to real estate.

"Our philosophy is simple yet powerful: We build relationships, deliver exceptional results, and make the entire process enjoyable," Dan explains. "Clients who work with us don't just get top-tier results-they genuinely enjoy the journey. That's what sets us apart."

Vanguard Properties warmly welcomes Dan and his team back into the fold and looks forward to a future defined by mutual success and continued excellence in serving the Bay Area community.
