The origin story

An Alamo kid who didn't get it right the first time

Greg grew up in the Danville and Alamo area, in the East Bay. School was hard. He is dyslexic and has ADHD, reading out loud in class was a struggle, and he finished with about a C average. Sports were where he found himself: four years of water polo, plus golf, volleyball, soccer, baseball and racquetball. Later he became a certified windsurfer, an advanced open water scuba diver and a licensed skydiver.

After high school he ran a ski lift at Squaw Valley in 1997, worked on Catalina Island, and spent about a year at Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles. In his own words, he "partied his way out." He owns that.

Then he came home and took the lowest job in an AV company's warehouse. He started running a mile every lunch. Slowly, he turned things around.

Dad's invitation

His father, Terry McDaniel, is a broker with more than 50 years in real estate across three states, and an early tech adopter. Terry invited Greg into the business. Greg wanted Hollywood instead, and today he's glad that didn't happen.

His dad's advice was simple: "Be the condo king." Greg went straight for million-dollar homes instead. His first sale was $1.25 million. The lesson he teaches now? Start in first gear.

The trainer

In his mid-20s, Greg was picked to be corporate head trainer for J. Rockcliff Realtors, a firm with hundreds of agents. He loved filming in the Pleasanton green room, and around 2012–13 he won the company's best video award.

The crash, and the grace

When the market crashed in 2008, Greg went to work with his brother Brad at his dad's company, RealAgile. It set out to do something new: use data to predict who in a neighborhood is likely to sell next. Greg worked a territory in Los Angeles. The first version was rough, "like the first Apple computer."

Then he came back and asked his dad and his dad's partner at the time to let him rejoin the team. They said yes without blinking.

That grace became his creed: show kindness and generosity to everyone, and help agents grow.

He has rebuilt from zero more than once. Along the way he has also lived in Walnut Creek, where he owned a condo, and in Lafayette, and he has bought and sold property of his own.

Real Estate Radio Talk

Real Estate Radio Talk on KGO 810

Greg was live on KGO 810 in San Francisco, where he co-hosted Real Estate Radio Talk.

The show had three hosts at the mic: Greg on residential real estate, co-host Tiffany McFarland on commercial real estate, and I-680 corridor lender Miles Palacios on lending (today he's founder and managing principal of LightHouse Lender). They brought on guests from all kinds of industries, and it was an absolute blast.

Real Estate Uncensored

⚠️ Parental advisory: there's a LOT of cussing on this show. Put your headphones on. LOL.

Greg co-founded Real Estate Uncensored, and the YouTube channel ran from April 2015 to July 2023, with 822 videos. Why "uncensored"? Because he gave agents everything, his team's whole playbook, free, instead of hiding it behind a paywall. It ranked high on top-podcast lists.

Later he ran it solo, with guest hosts Gene Volpe, Nick Sakkas and Jake Wolf. Fans started recognizing his voice in public. A fan favorite: negotiation expert Chris Voss on Never Split the Difference.

Since the class I have got my first million dollar listing, by talking to an old contact and following up with him.”

The McDaniel Challenge

A promise he made live, and kept for 18 months

One day on Real Estate Uncensored, Greg made something up on the spot. Anyone, anywhere in the country or the world, could get a free one-hour coaching call with him. There were only two rules: it was always free, and it happened on weeknights around 6 to 6:30 PM Pacific, when his workday ended.

He was booked a year and a half out in about two days. So he cut it off, and then he did every single call. 99.8% of the people showed up, 18 months after they signed up.

The last caller told him: "I can't believe you kept your promise."

What did Greg take from it? People are genuinely awesome, and everyone has a superpower.

Speaking

Mic in hand, up and down California

Greg has spoken up and down California and around the country, including many talks for Realtor associations. He teaches the real work: phones, doors, video and the exact words to use, plus the mindset behind them. He's been a guest on shows like GSD Mode, Real Estate Rockstars, The REDX Podcast and Keeping It Real.

The family patent & tech

Predicting the next sale, before anyone else

The McDaniels hold what Greg calls the first patent for predicting which neighbors are likely to move. U.S. Patent 8,583,562, "Predicting real estate and other transactions," was issued on November 12, 2013. It names his father Terry and his brother Brad among the inventors, and it ranks homes by how likely they are to sell, remodel or refinance soon.

That early bet on data still drives him. Today Greg is building a tech stack for agents with his brother Brad and dad Terry (AI search), Michael Fielden (disclosure software), Tim Stafford (BuyerWise) and Ray Wood (marketing). He points to a 2013 study that found people would rather spend a weekend in prison than do another real estate transaction, and he wants to change that.

Real estate career

27 years. Two generations.

Greg is a Bay Area Realtor with 27 years in the business. He works with his dad, Terry, and team manager Eileen Landon as the McDaniel Real Estate Group at eXp Realty, serving Alamo, Danville, Walnut Creek and the I-680 corridor.

When the team moved to eXp, Greg and his co-host first tried hard to find dirt on the company. They couldn't. So the whole team moved: Terry, his partner at the time, Eileen and Greg.

He has also bought and sold properties personally, so he knows the investor's side of the table too. Greg is a member of the Contra Costa Association of REALTORS® (CCAR) and the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR).
