Daniel A Hershkowitz

By education and training, I am a real estate attorney and real estate broker. From 1994-2001 I worked tirelessly to defend real estate brokerage firms against a wide variety of consumer lawsuits. Dissatisfied and unfulfilled, I quit the practice of law. After a very satisfying year of travel; which included both a stint as a camp counselor in rural Montana and as a high school football coach in urban San Francisco, I returned to the “business world” in 2001-2002.

In 2002-2003 I opened my own real estate brokerage and consulting firm -- Scholarship Homes&Real Estate. One of the prime motivations for opening my own brokerage was a desire to help “build community” and to share with our many community partners the fruits of my labors. For nearly 10-years I owned and directed my boutique real estate brokerage and consulting firm, and along the way engaged often and robustly with the aforementioned “community partners,” charities, and philanthropic organizations. I am proud to say that my wife and I personally re-directed more than $150,000 in real estate commissions to numerous local charities. In addition my wife and I make an effort to donate our time, energy and brain power. To that end, I am proud to say that I sit on the Board of the SF Child Abuse Prevention Center, and also Vice Board Chair at the SF YMCA. With any luck, I will continue to have the time, ability and resources to expand my public service in the years to come.

Although I have no formal “business plan” I do have four guiding goals: 1) Donate at least 10% of my commissions to those in need; 2) Continue to give each client the personal and professional service and attention I might hope for from my own real estate broker; 3) Go to the movies at least twice each week; and 4) Don’t let Alyssa (my wife) know I have enough free time to go to the movies in the middle of the day. I am pleased to announce that I have consistently accomplished each of my goals.

In 2012 I was fortunate enough to be invited to join the fine men and woman at Vanguard Real Estate -- my new home. At Vanguard I have found a kinship in spirit and intellect. I am pleased and proud to work with my many loyal clients and to continually move ahead in this exciting field.
