Dan established his full-service real estate marketing company in 1991 when New England's market conditions called for a focus on real estate auctions. The auction division of Daniel J. Flynn & Co., Inc. recorded over $60 million in sales in its first five years of operation. With a commitment to providing innovative and market-responsive strategies, Dan launched the commercial real estate sales & leasing division as the economy began to rebound. His years of experience in commercial real estate, which include successful sales and leasing transactions of shopping centers, hotels, nursing homes, medical buildings, office buildings and industrial facilities, led to the inception of the residential sales division in 1997. Dan has assembled a team of real estate practitioners who have mastered the art of selling. Today, Daniel J. Flynn & Co., Inc. continues to grow. The firm's newest division, Daniel J. Flynn Construction Co., Inc., completed its first development project in 2000, Victory Point at Marina Bay. Victory Point is a 15,000 square foot commercial building along Quincy's picturesque waterfront. In 2001, the construction division developed Thoreau Woods, a 16-unit townhome complex in North Quincy. Flynn Construction has established itself as in indispensible wing of our real estate service, having custom-built or modernized space for many of our real estate clients. With more major projects on the horizon, Dan has become a driving force in shaping the South Shore community in which he was raised. In addition to his work in the real estate industry, Dan dedicates much of his time to charity fund-raising events. He frequently serves as Master of Ceremonies for charity auctions, benefiting such organizations as the South Shore YMCA, South Shore Hosptial, Quincy Medical Center, Cardinal Cushing School, The Doug Flutie Foundation, The Boys and Girls Club, Bruins Alumnae Association, Boston College Second Helping, as well as local schools. In 1998, he led Project Hero, a program that raised funds for infrared smoke-vision helmets for Quincy’s Fire Department. In October of 2003, he received the American Red Cross Community Partnership Award for his long-time commitment and support to the American Red Cross of Massachusetts Bay. Dan's professional interests are extensive. He recently completed the Uniform Standard of Professional Appraisers Practice (USPAP) training course and is a member of the National Association of Professional Appraisers.
