Dan Rip | Commercial Real Estate Advisor

With more than 30 years of experience spanning commercial brokerage, investment, development, appraisal, and asset management, Dan Rip brings an uncommon depth of expertise and strategic perspective to commercial real estate. His approach goes beyond traditional brokerage, helping property owners, investors, developers, and businesses identify opportunities, maximize asset value, and navigate complex transactions.

Dan's career includes founding and operating a mortgage bank and real estate brokerage, practicing commercial real estate appraisal, and overseeing a municipal real estate portfolio valued at more than $1 billion. This diverse background provides a comprehensive understanding of real estate from acquisition and financing to development, leasing, and disposition. In the past year alone, Dan has closed more than $10 million in real estate transactions.

Specializing in commercial investment sales, retail and office leasing, multifamily properties, land development, and owner-user acquisitions, Dan combines market intelligence with financial analysis, creative problem-solving, and strategic negotiation. His experience in commercial design, property valuation, and development feasibility allows him to recognize value-add opportunities and help clients make informed real estate decisions.

Dan's extensive public-sector leadership further distinguishes his practice. With expertise in land use, zoning, entitlements, infrastructure, and economic and community development, he brings valuable insight to projects involving complex regulatory requirements and multiple stakeholders. His work includes the successful sourcing and acquisition of sites for two homeless resource centers in Salt Lake City.

Recognized for his strategic thinking, collaborative approach, and skilled negotiation, Dan is committed to delivering more than a transaction. He serves as a trusted advisor, aligning real estate strategies with his clients' business objectives and long-term investment goals.

Outside of real estate, Dan enjoys traveling, fly fishing, hiking, biking, scuba diving, and exploring the outdoors with his family.
