Getting To Know Our Key Players: Dan Ralston

You want to trust your real estate transaction at the Lake of the Ozarks to someone with experience and extensive local knowledge of the Lake of the Ozarks community and real estate market. Dan Ralston is very involved in the Bagnell Dam Association of REALTORS® and has the experience and knowledge to ensure your experience is as seamless and financially beneficial as possible.


Dan moved to the Lake ten years ago in June, 2005. As a kid, he spent much of his time at a smallish lake in Lees Summit called Lake Lotowana. His parents had a summer cabin, as did his grandparents, and aunt and uncle. So, Dan grew up as a "Lake Rat." In 2003 he recalls reminiscing about the days when he would spend all his time at the Lake and how much he thoroughly enjoyed and missed those times. In having a discussion with a long-time friend, he expressed his desire to give his kids the same opportunities of growing up around a Lake atmosphere, and getting back to Lake living before retirement.

It was that conversation that drew Dan to the Lake of the Ozarks. His friend was wanting to start a contracting business and was looking for a partner to start it with. The idea sounded pretty good to Dan, and after about 9 months of commuting back and forth from DeSoto, they sold their house and moved to the Lake of the Ozarks full time. Once he got down here full time, he realized that being up on high condo roofs and dangling from ladders everyday wasn't the right gig for him. This realization opened the doors to a career in real estate at the Lake of the Ozarks. 

In 2006, Dan started in full time in the real estate industry with a small company in Lake Ozark. That company folded, and Dan was back to looking for a company to grow his real estate business with. Fortunately, in Spring 2009, Dan was invited to the Gattermeir Davidson team, now eXp Realty. Since then, he's been happily and successfully growing his real estate career while making a difference in the local community. Dan is involved with the Bagnell Dam Association of Realtors, as well as being involved with the Senior Olympics and Wonderland Camp volunteer programs.


Dan brings tremendous experience and knowledge of the Lake area market and has been a great asset to the eXp Realty team. Dan works with both buyers and sellers, assisting them with all of their real estate needs. If you're in need of a real estate agent at the Lake of the Ozarks, Dan Ralston is the logical choice.

5 Home Buying Mistakes To Avoid

Image
Buying a home is a very exciting event, but it unfortunately comes with its fair share of pitfalls. Inexperienced home buyers may fall victim to common mistakes that can create added stress and frustration down the road. If you're getting ready to buy your first home at the Lake of the Ozarks , the team at Gattermeir Davidson Real Estate can help you avoid these pitfalls. Mistake #1: Not Getting Preapproved It's very common for first time home buyers to want to jump straight into touring different homes, before talking to a mortgage lender. When they do this, though, home buyers can get their hearts set on a certain property before they know for sure if they will be able to afford it. Do yourself (and your agent) a favor by getting preapproved for a home loan first so you will only visit homes you know you will be able to realistically consider buying. Mistake #2: Spending Beyond Your Means There can be a big difference between the size of loan you can qualify for and...
