WHY THE W GROUP
We Don't Just Help. We represent.
There’s a wide gap between an agent who shows you houses and one who advocates for your interests at every turn. Here’s what that gap looks like in practice.
Marketing that moves property
We don't list and wait. Every listing gets a custom strategy — professional photography, targeted digital campaigns, and data-driven pricing that positions your home to win.
Strategic Planning
Every client starts with a clear plan that defines goals, timing, and budget before moving forward. This helps avoid reactive decisions and keeps your buying or selling process aligned from the first step through closing.
Straight talk, every time
You'll always know exactly where you stand. No jargon. No vague updates. We give you clear analysis and direct recommendations — then let you decide.
Real estate + mortgage, unified
Having your broker and your mortgage advisor as the same person isn't just convenient — it changes your negotiating position and closes deals that fall apart for other buyers.

Dan was a communicative and respectful counterpart, ensuring clear and timely coordination that made working across the table seamless. Dan’s professionalism, combined with his approachable and friendly demeanor, made him an ideal partner in this transaction. I highly recommend Dan Walters to any client seeking a skilled and reliable realtor in Portland. I look forward to working with you again my friend!
Without a doubt I would highly recommend Dan for buying or selling your home. As an experienced agent that knows exactly how to cater to each clients needs, he is the person you want in your corner on either side of the transaction. Choose Dan or be sad that you didn’t.
Dan the man! Dan is honest, full of integrity and does his due diligence. He was delightful to work with and we felt like we were his first priority. We could not have asked for a better agent! He answered all of our questions and went above and beyond every step of the way.
Dan was my realtor for my first home in Portland. He was great at listening and explaining all of my first timer questions. He responded to me asap when I called him and has a friendly and trustworthy demeanor. Since I purchased my home he has kept in touch with me offering referrals for anything to do with my property. He’s an honest stand up guy and will be my realtor on the next one. I can’t recommend him enough. Fantastic experience.
Working with Dan to sell our older home was a great experience for us. His guidance about how best to prepare the house made a huge difference in how the house looked and how prepared we were for our open house weekend. He clearly knows and understood this market, and he provided just-as-you-need-it guidance throughout the whole process. With his openness and steady communication, we always knew what was going on and what was next. No surprises, a great outcome for us, and we would recommend him highly to anyone seeking to buy or sell a home.
We can’t recommend Dan enough! This is our second time working with him to buy a home and he is great to work with every step of the way. This was our first time buying from a new build and he helped answer all our questions and made every step of the process very clear. We will definitely work with him again in the future!

I highly recommend Dan Walters as a representative for real estate transactions. Our situation in Estacada had some complexities, and Dan always took the time to explain what was happening and guided us through an occasionally (through no fault of his own) bumpy process. He also suggested creative and effective options to ready the property for sale, negotiate terms of the sale and reach a beneficial conclusion. His years of experience definitely helped us through our sale process.
