Daniel Maher (he/him)
Broker, Licensed in Oregon
Originally from just outside New Orleans, I carry a deep appreciation for community wherever I go. After college and a chapter in New York, my wife and I settled in Portland in 2012 and have been proud to call it home ever since.
For 11 years, I worked as a special education teacher with Portland Public Schools and De La Salle North Catholic High School. That experience deeply informs my approach to real estate. I believe in meeting people where they are, listening closely, and guiding them through big decisions with clarity and care. Having worked with students and families from incredibly diverse backgrounds, I understand that every story, and every home search, is unique.
As a licensed broker with Proud Realty, I combine empathy with practical know-how. My side passion as a handyman gives me a trained eye for a home’s potential and the confidence to help clients think through improvements, repairs, and possibilities.
Outside of real estate, I love cooking, native gardening, and getting outside to explore the endless beauty of the Pacific Northwest with my wife, two kids, and our family dog.
