Our Team

Dan Rivers

Founder/CEO

Dan Rivers, husband and dad first and foremost, has been working in the real estate industry for nearly two decades. While his career began in large scale property management in the greater Boston area, overseeing more than 5,000 residential units as well as $15 million+ in projects, his passion for the industry quickly grew to span sales, investing and more. 

In 2020 he founded Rivers Capital Group, a comprehensive real estate service company that specializes in 5 key areas: Sales, Renovations, STR Management, Private Money Lending, Business Buying and Rentals. With a goal to service every facet of an investor’s needs, Rivers Capital Group has and will continue to expand its footprint into additional areas of Real Estate. 

Dan’s knowledge, passion and hard work has resulted in more than $53 million worth of real estate transactions in just 4 years and recognition in the top 1% of realtors in the tri-county area. What he prides himself most in, though, are the strong relationships he’s built with clients and partners. 

An investor himself, Dan owns over $3 million in real estate assets and is also a participant in various syndications, both active and passively. His values are hard work, integrity and outstanding client service into everything he does.  

Dan’s passion to continue to grow as a person and help others has led him to create a community and podcast called The Compound Mindset. He believes that after years of reading, listening to books and podcasts and talking with millionaires, the two things that all successful people have in common are an abundance/growth mindset and the knowledge and ability to compound money into wealth. Dan’s community takes both of these concepts to the next level showing people how to multiply all areas of their life. 

When Dan isn’t making homeownership dreams come true for his clients, he enjoys traveling, spending time with his family and exploring nature. Supporting local and national causes is also very important to him. He serves on the board of IMPACT, a Charleston-based nonprofit that helps develop youth through education and exposure, and frequently volunteers and donates to organizations like St. Judes and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
