Family-Focused Realtor Making a Difference

For Daniel Sturgill, a licensed Michigan real estate agent at Social House Group, real estate isn’t just a career—it’s a pathway to transform his family’s future and make a lasting impact in the communities he serves. As a dedicated agent with three years of experience and a career volume of $6 million, Daniel brings an unwavering passion for helping clients achieve their dreams.

A Journey Into Real Estate

Daniel’s journey into real estate began with a pivotal moment during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a former Starbucks store manager, he had always harbored an interest in real estate and investing. When the world slowed down, he seized the opportunity to dive into the field, turning a long-time passion into a thriving career.

“Real estate gave me the chance to change my family’s trajectory and run my own business,” Daniel shares. His achievements, including a 2024 sales volume of $2.8 million and recognition as a top producer and top listing agent of the month multiple times, are a testament to his hard work and dedication.

The Heart of His Business: Family and Community

Originally from Allen Park, Daniel’s life is deeply shaped by his family—his wife Mary and their three children, Derek, Evelyn, and Wyatt. Their shared love of food, movies, and quiet family moments at home inspires Daniel’s approach to his business. “Every decision I make is through the lens of my family,” he says. “They’re at the center of who I am, what I do, and how I carry myself.”

Daniel’s passion extends beyond his household to the communities he serves. Whether it’s helping first-time homebuyers unlock the door to their dream homes or supporting local food pantries, Daniel is committed to making a difference. “There’s nothing like seeing a client’s face light up when they get the keys for the first time,” he says.

Overcoming Challenges and Embracing Growth

As an introvert, Daniel acknowledges that stepping outside his comfort zone has been one of his biggest challenges. However, his determination to grow has been pivotal to his success. “Putting myself out there is a process, but it’s worth it,” he notes. His adaptability and ability to tailor his approach to fit each client’s needs have become his hallmark strengths.

A Vision for the Future

For Daniel, real estate is more than a job; it’s a way to build a legacy. His future goals include expanding his investment portfolio and creating opportunities that give him and his family more time together. “Real estate allows me to scale and grow in ways that weren’t possible before,” he says.

Advice for Aspiring Realtors

Daniel’s advice to new agents is simple but impactful: “Learn the market, be the knowledge broker, and let everyone know who you are like your life depends on it.” His focus on authenticity and adaptability provides a blueprint for success. 

Beyond the Business

When he’s not working, Daniel’s hobbies reflect his eclectic interests—ranging from maintaining an African cichlid fish tank to three-gun shooting, Pokémon cards with his kids, and enjoying classic sci-fi action movies like Back to the Future and The Matrix. His love of 1950s and 1960s jazz, particularly Nat King Cole, adds a timeless rhythm to his busy life.

Defining Success

For Daniel, success is about more than numbers. It’s about becoming a cornerstone of the community, providing for his family, and setting an example of integrity and hard work. “I want to be remembered as someone genuine in everything I do,” he says.

With his commitment to family, community, and continuous growth, Daniel Sturgill is not just a realtor—he’s a trusted guide, a passionate advocate, and a visionary leader in the real estate world.
