Dan Zecher

Awakened Properties | Real Estate Investor Specialist
photoD

Hi, I’m Dan Zecher, and Lancaster, PA has been my home all my life – except for a brief stint at Penn State. I’m deeply rooted in the community and committed to helping people find their perfect home or investment property.
I’ve been flipping homes for the past 8-9 years, and I’m passionate about turning properties into dream homes for families or profitable ventures for investors. My experience in real estate goes beyond transactions—it's about building relationships and being a trusted advisor throughout the journey.

At home, I’m kept on my toes by my wonderful wife, Caitlin, and our three children: Hailey (6), Reagan (4), and Brandt (1). When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with them, staying involved in Bible studies, and playing a round of golf whenever I can.

I aim to balance my love for real estate with family time, staying connected to my faith, and giving back to the Lancaster community that has given me so much. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, I’m here to help make your real estate goals a reality.
