Dan Schaefer was born and raised in central Minnesota, where a deep appreciation for community and connection took root early in his life. Those small-town values continue to shape who he is today and how he serves his clients. Married to his wife, Lisa, and the proud parent of four adult children, Dan understands firsthand the importance of finding the right home for every stage of life.
Before entering real estate, Dan spent 30 years as an elementary educator, dedicating his career to helping local families and shaping the next generation. His experience in the classroom taught him patience, clear communication, and the ability to truly listen. Skills that translate seamlessly into guiding buyers and sellers through important real estate decisions.
In addition to teaching, Dan coached multiple youth sports throughout the community. His years on the field and court fostered a strong sense of teamwork, leadership, and trust, qualities that now define his approach with clients. He believes that success comes from working together, staying focused, and always doing what’s best for the team.
Today, Dan brings his lifelong commitment to service, learning, and community into every real estate relationship. Whether you’re buying your first home, or preparing to sell, you can count on him to provide thoughtful guidance, honest insight, and a dedicated partner every step of the way.
