Dan Zecher

Awakened Properties | Real Estate Investor Specialist

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.

"We used Carissa to list our home in Manheim Township when we moved from a family home to empty nester home.

"Absolutely loved working with our realtor Courtney Longenecker on buying our first home. We moved to Lancaster from Brooklyn and knew no one. She made the process so much less scary, intimidating and was so accommodating. We would have never got our house without her guidance & support.

"After meeting Courtney Longenecker we knew she was the right person to assist us with finding our new home and selling our current home. She was friendly, respectful, understanding and very knowledgeable. We spent several months searching based upon our very specific criteria, until we found the right property and Courtney guided us effectively through the process with a quite challenging seller.
"I had a great experience. They staged my house, listed it on Thursday and by Friday night I had a cash offer. They also found my new home for me. They are a great company to work with. I would definitely recommend them."
