Dan Byerly, Real Estate Agent

Raised in the close-knit community of Hamlin, Texas, Dan learned early on the value of hard work and service from parents who modeled a strong work ethic and dedication to their family and community. A proud graduate of Hamlin High School in 1987, Dan went on to earn a business degree from Tarleton State University in 1991, setting the stage for a lifelong commitment to both professional excellence and public service.

Dan spent 22 years in community banking, working closely with individuals, families, and local businesses to support financial growth across the region. He later served for 7 years as a Farm Credit Relationship Manager, where he worked alongside farmers and ranchers to help them secure the resources they needed to succeed. In addition to his professional experience, Dan has been a landowner for many years, giving him a deep, personal understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing rural property owners and agricultural producers.

For the past 6 years, Dan has built a thriving career as a successful real estate agent, combining his financial background, agricultural insight, and deep roots in the region to help clients navigate land, residential, and commercial property transactions with confidence.

Service has always been a guiding principle in Dan’s life. He has contributed to the Hamlin community in many meaningful ways – most notably as a deacon of his church, a trustee of Hamlin Independent School District, and a leader of the Hamlin Boys Club for over 26 years.

Dan has been married to his high school sweetheart, Kristi, for over 35 years. Together, they have raised three children, Dylan, Madi, and Ethan, all of whom are proud graduates of Texas A&M University, class of 2016, 2018, and 2025, respectively.

Through decades of experience in finance, agriculture, real estate, and land ownership—and a lifelong commitment to faith, family, and service—Dan continues to invest in the people and place that shaped him.

Client Reviews

Dan helped us find the perfect house! He made the entire process easy and stress free. Dan was efficient and was always available to answer any questions we had during the home buying process. We will use Dan in the future and highly recommend him for your real estate needs!
Steve & Laurie Biera
Dan Byerly was super helpful in my search for a hunting ranch. We looked at several ranches I had found that just did not do it for me, until he suggested a ranch a bit out of the parameters I was looking for. Boom it was a home run!! His patience and intuition, coupled with his knowledge of the land market was invaluable.
Mike Basler
Dan Byerly was easy to work with and helped my wife and I find the property that met our investment and recreational needs. He was very informative and knowledgeable when we had questions about the property we purchased and helped facilitate a complex negotiation with the seller. We were very pleased with the service he provided and would recommend his services to both buyers and sellers of real estate in the Big Country area.
Michael & Nancy Barris
Dan was not only EXTREMELY competent and knowledgeable, he was also a joy to do business with. His unique thoughtfulness and professionalism throughout our buying process ensures that we will never use a different realtor in that part of Texas. Dan went WAY out of his way to research and personally visit recreational properties to vet them for us because we live several hours away. He brought his personal UTV so that we could tour the property and even brought donuts for our kids! Can’t say enough good things about Dan Byerly!!
Chris & Cheri Nors
Dan took great care in the prompt sale of our family farm. My mother and I are thankful for his efforts in listing the property immediately, reaching out to other agents, and walking us through the negotiating process. No matter where you live, Dan can help with your real estate needs.
Michael McDonald
I approached Dan Byerly with three very different listings simultaneously- ranch land, a commercial business, and a ranch style home. He immediately went to work marketing each property. In less than 60 days, I had multiple offers on each of the properties. His expertise of the market, vast network, and hard work made each transaction quick, smooth, and generated optimal income. I highly recommend Dan and Ekdahl Real Estate if you are looking to buy or sell.
Brody Deaver
After trying to sell my house independently, I realized I was in over my head. I didn't understand the process. I didn’t know the steps to take or the order to take them in, and I surely did not understand the technical information in the legal documents. Once I listed my house with Dan, I was so relieved; I could appreciate his knowledge and expertise as a realtor. I had so many questions along the way, and he always responded quickly with clear explanations regarding the process and the particulars. Additionally, he lined up a professional photographer to present my home beautifully online. Dan did everything with such ease, and he kept me up to date as the process advanced. My stress evaporated. It was as though I had hopped on a plane that he was piloting. I just sat back and enjoyed the ride with trusting all of the details to him. To everyone ready to sell or purchase a property, I have total confidence in recommending that you reach out to Dan as your realtor.
Linda Yarbrough
My wife and I looked for land in the Hamlin area for several years without success, but Dan was able to find us a great place with trees and water in no time. That is no small feat in our “neck of the woods,” as both are scarce in West Texas. Dan knows the land and the land owners in the area so he can anticipate when a property might become available. We looked, we made an offer that was accepted, then Dan and the Ekdahl team handled all of the behind-the-scenes work to make the purchasing process easy for us. We have since built a home on our land and are thrilled with our new place.
