He showed me several homes, and I fell in love with one—but with multiple offers on the table, I, unfortunately, lost out. Instead of moving on, Dylan took the time to ask me what I loved most about that house. When I told him it was the neighborhood I truly wanted, he didn’t stop there. As the best REALTOR, he personally reached out to every homeowner in that subdivision, determined to find me the perfect home. Within two weeks, I had access to multiple off-market properties, and I ended up with a home that was even better than the one I originally wanted! On top of that, Dylan negotiated an incredible price—better than I had hoped for. If you’re searching for a top real estate agent who goes above and beyond, look no further. Dylan is truly dedicated to his clients, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience!

He is my “go to” broker for market trends and insight with residential and investment properties in Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne counties.

He was very honest with suggestions moving forward.

He helped me buy and sell dozens of homes in Rochester Hills, White Lake, Wixom, and pretty much all over Oakland County. Most recently he sold one of my properties in Rochester Hills and we broke the neighborhood record by over $200,000. He understands pricing, marketing, and negotiation very well. Several other homes we sold together were also very successful sales. I refer him often because I trust him completely. Dylan delivers results.

He stepped in at a critical time for me and handled everything with confidence and clarity. He explained my options, kept the process straightforward, and followed through on every commitment he made. What stood out most was that he never made me feel pressured — just genuinely supported. His knowledge and steady guidance made a tough situation feel under control. Without hesitation, he’ll be the first person I call for any future real estate needs.

I work with 100s of realtors and I don’t know many as well versed as Dylan. He is someone you can trust! He’s not scared to tell you the way it is and educating you in the meantime. Don’t hesitate to hire Dylan if you’re buying, selling, doing new construction or building a portfolio of investment properties. I highly recommend.

He is easy to work with and manages all the small details. We have used him for both buying and selling. We were especially impressed with his video presentation of our home that recently sold.

He was able to find us several properties within our budget which included all of our "must haves". Dylan was very knowledgeable about the local area. We dealt directly with Dylan the entire time and his insight in the real estate market was a huge help when making the ultimate decision.

Not only has he assisted in my own personal real estate closings, but he has aided others that I have referred to him with in selling their homes. He has the ability to price a property right and to advise on what updates are necessary to immediately move a property. If you need anything to do with real estate, Dylan is your go-to person.

He advised us on what we could do to enhance the value of the home we were selling, and he negotiated us a great deal!

Always willing to go the extra mile. He is honest and makes you feel like family.

Timely and professional.

Dylan's expertise, knowledge and work ethic is unprecedented. I've known Dylan 10 plus years, he's not just a friend he's an invaluable mentor.

He’s quick to respond and doesn’t mess around when it comes to his clients best interests. If you found this page don’t look anywhere else, Dylan is a GREAT choice to help you meet your end goals!

The staging of the home was excellent. Plenty of informational material re: the jome, property, taxes, neighborhood and schools.

I was very worried about how it would work since I'm a couple thousand miles away. Everything went just like he promised. The condo closed without any problems and he made sure that the transaction was smooth as silk. Even when I just have real estate questions I know Dyaln's always there to answer them.

I trust all of our real estate decisions, whether buying or selling (it's always both!) with Dylan and really value our conversations and working together to maximize the return on investment in each of our transactions. We know that Dylan is trustworthy and full of integrity and will always do the right things.

He listens to you and your needs. I would highly recommend Dylan!

He is an extremely hardworking, uses multiple marketing streams like open houses , direct mail campaigns, and facebook live to get the job done! He is professional and has a lot of experience that sets him apart from other agents. He is that guy who will make your experience as smooth as possible through each and every step of the way because he has learned great negotiating skills. I love his flexibility and willingness to go the extra mile. He truly is that Guy who makes deposits in everyone around him and Who is the most grateful person I know in life. Inspiring others around him always to also be better!

We’ve worked with Dylan for years & he sold our parent’s condo recently. Dylan has consistently exceeded our expectations in every dealing we’ve had with him. He is professional, courteous, patient, prompt, detailed and extremely knowledgeable. Dylan will go the extra mile without being asked. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you have the chance to work with him, you won’t be disappointed! -Mark & Courtney Penrose

He was remarkably knowledgeable about the real estate market and was very responsive when we needed assistance. I highly recommend Dylan to anyone looking for a dedicated realtor.

Unfortunately, there were multiple offers and l did not get it. He asked me what I loved so much about this house so he could continue to look for me. I told him it was the subdivision that I really loved and wanted to live in, but there were no other homes in the subdivision for sale. He wrote a letter for me and sent it out to EVERY homeowner in that subdivision. Within two weeks I had my pick of several off market homes! I found one even better then the original home that I wanted. To top it off he even negotiated a lower price then I had hoped for! He truly went over and beyond to help me find my forever home. If you are looking for an agent that will go the extra mile, then Dylan Tanaka is the agent for you.

I’d highly recommend him to any buyer, seller, or investor looking to work in this market. He’s hardworking, honest, and always straightforward — the kind of agent who truly keeps your best interests at heart.

He made me feel like family and was very professional

He is extremely knowledgeable about the metro Detroit real estate market and is the best real estate agent in Detroit that I’ve worked with!!

He knows his stuff and will do whatever it takes to help get me a good deal. Dylan is always on the lookout for how he can help me and better serve my needs. He’s also very pleasant and enjoyable to work with. If you’re looking to buy, sell or train with an agent Dylan is your guy!

He has written a book about real estate as well, that shows his knowledge and willingness to share his spirit to others. I know Dylan for about 2 decades in various facets of real estate

I’m a remodeler and I buy and sell homes all the time. Dylan has helped me sell a bunch of properties, and I always get top dollar. He really knows the market and what buyers are looking for. He’s also helped me find great deals that I would have never found without him. That’s because he used to be an investor himself, so he knows how to spot the good ones. What I like most about Dylan is that he’s honest, smart, and always looking out for me. He’s a great negotiator and makes sure I never leave money on the table. I trust him with every deal, and I know he’s got my back. If you’re buying or selling, and especially if you’re an investor like me, you won’t find anyone better than Dylan. He’s the real deal and I’ll never use another agent.

He's always been extremely knowledgeable and helpful, making every step of the process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend him for anyone looking top notch service.

Dylan has been extremely helpful to me as well with business strategies.

He is hard-working, a skilled negotiator, dependable, trustworthy, and overwhelmingly skilled at marketing homes! His experience in the industry shows through all the connections. He has worked hard to attain and maintain throughout the years and will leave no stone unturned when you’re looking for a new property.

Dylan Tanaka since September 2024. My condo was on sale since April 2024, but there was no luck. Mr Tanaka has approached with this tusk very enthusiastically, he has made few suggestions how to make my condo more attractive to the buyers, and he has been able to attract a lot of prospective buyers. Finally his efforts have brought a success. He has found a buyer and has negotiated a very decent price. I recommend Dylan to all my friends and to everyone who really wants to buy or to sell their homes.

His extensive knowledge and expertise make every transaction smooth and stress-free. I’m always confident referring him to friends and family, knowing they’ll be in the best hands. Whether you're looking to buy, sell, or invest, Dylan is the agent you want by your side!

His knowledge of the market is amazing, and I always feel confident recommending him to friends and family. I know they’ll be in good hands. Dylan is my go-to agent, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with buying or selling a home. He’s truly highly recommend!

We are so happy with our new home!

Clear concise and to the point, I loved it.

I find it very difficult to express the gratitude I have for his support with simply words alone. His unparalleled guidance gives you the confidence, experience, and expertise necessary to pursue all of your real estate dreams, goals, and ambitions no matter what side of the table you sit on!! He is a game changer and the real MVP!! 10/10 would recommend!!

We've done multiple deals together, and every single time it's been a smooth, successful experience. When it comes to negotiating, Dylan is a shark (in the best way possible lol). He fights tooth and nail to get us the best possible deal, whether we're buying or selling. He's such a great resource.

Dylan has been instrumental in assisting me with my real estate investments, particularly in the realm of home flipping. If you're a real estate investor looking for the perfect professional to have on your team, Dylan is your go-to person. His market knowledge is unparalleled, and his communication skills are outstanding. Throughout our transactions, Dylan kept me informed every step of the way, ensuring I was up to date with all developments. Dylan's innovative marketing strategies were incredibly effective. Before my property even hit the MLS, Dylan's out-of-the-box marketing approach had generated substantial interest, resulting in a queue of eager potential buyers waiting to view the house. This level of exposure and interest was beyond my expectations. Additionally, Dylan's support extended well beyond typical realtor services. He provided invaluable guidance during the entire rehab process, offering expert advice on upgrade decisions and even connecting me with reputable contractors at discounted rates. This assistance was crucial in ensuring a smooth and successful project. For anyone investing in real estate in Metro Detroit, Dylan Tanaka is the ultimate expert you need by your side. When it's time to list my next remodeled property, Dylan will undoubtedly be my first and only call. Thank you, Dylan, for your exceptional service and unwavering dedication to your clients.

After working with Dylan on multiple projects he's proven to be the best Realtor for the job when it comes to representing us an investors. In full disclosure we are related - but the attention to detail and his keen sense of the Michigan market has helped us have success time and time again. Before you list with anyone else, interview Dylan and you may see he's the top real estate agent for the job.

You can definitely rely that you are in great hands. His knowledge and expertise in the real estate market is on top! He went through all the in and out in this business as buying, selling and investing or even developing and building. His expertise as realtor and investor is definitely when it comes to listing because he's expert in marketing and negotiating the best for his clients. He presented a lot of our projects and flips. We always get impressed with his services. We wanted to work with someone who's done it all for himself not only for other people. And that's why we work and partnered with Dylan. I've know him for almost 5 years now. He's the brother, friend, real estate mate and professional expert. He goes above and beyond and whatever it takes to seal the deal and make sure that he has done more than what it needed. And I also almost forgot to mention that Dylan is the most generous and caring person I ever known especially with people who are real, genuine and authentic people. I'm so blessed for having him in my life.

Dylan definitely stepped up when the buyer was playing games. He did a great job with the pictures and the listing. His marketing had tons of buyers scheduling appointments and visiting the property. We had several offers from day one. Dylan helped select the best buyer for our property and worked very hard to get it across the finish line. I will be using Dylan for all my future real estate deals

I highly recommend using Dylan as your realtor when listing a property. I've used a handful of other agents over the years but Dylan is the best agent I have worked with. He comes out to the property and does a walk through before I even start the renovation and tells me everything that buyers are looking for, what fixtures, accents and colors are really in demand. He also gives me very accurate numbers and projections for each neighborhood I fix and flip in. This saves me a bunch of time because I don't have to research what's "in style" or sort through a bunch of data on past sales. Dylan already knows this information because he's listing so many houses each year. He also knows the market so well because he spent many years as an investor himself. In my opinion, this makes him the best realtor out there, especially for other investors looking to get the most out of each sale.

Even though I thought that I’d have a tough time selling it he assured me he’d help me get it sold. The best part about the sale was the that it sold faster than I thought and even for a bit more money. I’ve bought and sold a handful of homes and Dylan is by far the best Realtor I’ve dealt with. Thanks again for taking great care of me.

He was recommended by a friend that had worked with him on selling properties for him. He is the best realtor I've worked with and went over and above what I expected. He was very familiar with the area and found me a buyer within a week. I will be using Dylan to buy or sell my properties in the future. It was the quickest sale and easiest closing I've had to date.

As a real estate investor, I've worked with a lot of agents and Dylan is by far the best realtor we have worked with. Dylan has years of experience as an investor himself which means he understands exactly what we're looking for in an agent. He is very familiar with the market and knows exactly what our listings need to get high interest and traffic. Dylan is a skillful negotiator who brings the best offers to the table. I highly recommend working with Dylan as your agent, especially if you are buying and selling multiple properties each year.

I'm so glad a did. He went above and beyond for me. Using all the channels (Facebook, Instagram) and a open house to get as much buzz as we could about the sale. His positive, upbeat and energetic energy is just what you would want in your realtor. Not to mention his knowledge, he had an answer to every question I had and the guidance to help me with all the steps in the process I was unfamiliar with. 100% recommend

His knowledge and expertise in the real estate market is vast!!! He will be your advocate, not only for making sure you get the best price, but making sure you feel informed and comfortable with the whole process. You can’t go wrong!

Top notch all around. It is not easy to find people as committed and excellent as Dylan.
