Testimonials
Dan is truly a "above and beyond" realtor. With his many local connections in the Sarasota area he was able to help us prepare our condo for sale even when we could not be present. He made the entire process run as smoothly as we could have wished and earned our trust by sticking to his word from day one. He handled our "out of town" transaction in a way that made the process close in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend working with Dan.
If I could give 100 stars rating I would! Dan was the most dedicated, reliable and trustworthy realtor I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I can’t praise enough the professionalism and care he showed while helping us sell my late father’s condo. He made this difficult task which had to be conducted remotely, so much easier. I have never had better customer care….ever. Look no further, Dan’s the man!!! With deep gratitude, Emily Stanton UK
Dan spoke directly with every agent before they showed our Siesta condo. He said he wanted to be sure each agent knew all the features and benefits and they wouldn't rush thru their showing. That made all the difference! The home sold in one day with a full-price offer and two others waiting to write an offer. The process was smooth because of Dan's diligence and attention to details. He is a consummate sales person whether you're a buyer or seller. We were both. Highly recommended!
