Agent Profile
Daniel M. Hilty was born and raised in rural Indiana in an
Old Order Amish Community. He lived the simple lifestyle, NO modern
conveniences of electricity, radio, television, telephones, running water,
indoor plumbing, cars and etc. for 23 years. It was a simple and strict
upbringing and means of transportation were by horse and buggy, farming with
horses and horse drawn equipment, milking was done by hand, lighting was by
kerosene lamps and etc. He was raised on a 100 acre farm that was almost self
efficient, raising all the crops, vegetables, milk straight from the cows and
etc. It was hard work getting up at 5am to milking the cows and chores in the
morning and working in the fields until dusk in the eve. Daniel was taught to
be honest, hardworking, using good morals, strong principals when dealing with
people. He has carried these values into his adult life and into his practices
of today.
Daniel was forced to drop out of school in the 9th
grade to help his family work the farm. Higher education in the Amish Community
is not important because the children are needed to work the farms or earn
incomes to help support the families. After leaving the Amish Community, Daniel
did go back to school and received his GED in 1981. After completing his GED,
Daniel attended Purdue University in 1983 and received a 4-year degree in
Landscape Architecture. He had to work to support himself throughout college,
while carrying 13 to 21 credit hours per semester. It was challenging, but
nonetheless Daniel did finish his degree in 4-years and graduated from Purdue
University in 1987.
Daniel practiced Landscape Architecture in both
Florida and Colorado from 1987 to 1994. In both Florida and Colorado, he
designed and supervised numerous projects from residential homes, baseball
complexes, parks, courtyards, and etc. He has the knowledge and expertise to
help his clients see the potential of a home and give professional landscape
advice. He has a keen eye for the potential of even the most distressed and
dilapidated properties.

and has been doing real estate ever since. He is a member of the Denver Board
of Realtors and has won top producing agent awards during his real estate

during contract negotiations and contractual fulfillments. It is of importance
to Daniel to have satisfied clients. He still utilizes his talents and his
values from his childhood upbringings into his professions today. His strong
ethics and his determination to succeed are strong traits and make him the
person he is today. After all, where he is from contracts were done by

not possible in today's real world where contracts between parties have to be
reduced into writings. Daniel has no regrets with the choices he has made
