Dan Shepherd is a local, relationship-first estate agent helping people in and around Otley move with confidence and clarity. After 14 years working on the high street in towns including Harrogate, Horsforth and Selby, he launched his own agency in January 2026, bringing thoughtful, client-focused service to the area rather than conveyor-belt transactional selling.

Dan’s connection to Otley goes way back — he grew up in Pudsey and spent childhood visits here with his grandma, and later chose Otley alongside his partner (who’s from the town) because it just felt right. That local love shows in how he works.

Now listed on The Agency UK network as the dedicated agent for Otley, Dan combines deep market knowledge with a measured strategy tailored to each client’s goals. He leverages a modern marketing mix including Rightmove, Zoopla, Instagram and Facebook, and communicates every step of the way — from initial valuation through to completion and beyond.

What sets him apart from the bigger brands he used to work for is his emphasis on people first. He doesn’t just sell houses. He builds trust, stays in touch after contracts are signed, and genuinely gets to know his clients so he can guide them with straight-talking advice and thoughtful follow-ups — often checking in months after the move.

Dan covers both sales and rentals and is always happy to chat strategy, answer questions or talk local Otley life — because buying or selling here shouldn’t feel like a transaction, it should feel like a conversation.
