All across Long Island, the Daniel Gale "whale" symbol has become synonymous with distinctive real estate expertise.

 "While we were founded in 1922 in Huntington Village," explains Patricia Petersen, Daniel Gale President and CEO, "the whale was adopted as the company symbol when we opened our second office in Cold Spring Harbor, in honor of the rich tradition of this quaint whaling village."

"It's come to be almost prophetic," she adds, "as our company has grown with the times and increased the breadth and depth of our services, we have earned a "whale" of a reputation in marketing residential properties."

Daniel Gale offices span Long Island's North Shore, from Manhasset to Stony Brook, with convenient locations staffed by seasoned sales agents with specific knowledge of their communities' property values and sales trends. What's more, Daniel Gale brokers and agents are dedicated to providing personal service, the all-important component in completing a successful transaction.

Today, as Long Island's largest independent non-franchised broker, Daniel Gale combines vast resources with a staff of knowledgeable and experienced agents and brokers to help buyers and sellers with all their real estate needs - whether here, across the country, or around the world. As the exclusive Sotheby's International Realty affiliate, Daniel Gale agents have access to an unparalleled national and international network of buyers and sellers. Daniel Gale's state-of-the-art computerized network also keeps customers and clients up-to-the-minute on changing property information, daily financial updates and market conditions.

"From the day our first office was opened, our agency was built on a commitment to quality and personal service," notes Ms. Petersen. "We listen carefully and we work hard to achieve our clients' goals. When you want real estate expertise, service and integrity, look for the sign of the whale!"
