Thank You SLV!

Best Real Estate Agent in 2023 & 2024.

It’s been my pleasure to serve The San Lorenzo Valley and all of Santa Cruz County for over 20 years.

Here’s what my clients have to say….

“We’ve used Daniel to both buy and sell and he is great. He has a lot of knowledge about homes, not just essentials’ such as doing comps, listing, and negotiating but about property lines, septic systems, asbestos, water wells you name it, he’s seen it. I also think Daniel is very professional and goes the extra mile to be available and responsive to his clients. Very trustworthy and communicates well. I would definitely use Daniel for any of our future real estate needs and highly recommend him”. –Eddie & Summer R.

“Daniel has been a wonderful and impressive resource for our buying, selling, and researching needs. Always knowledgeable, insightful, ethical, and supportive to us in all facets of our real estate transactions in addition to being just a delightful person who has become a trusted friend. We’ve been tremendously impressed since 2008 so we’ve got a long history of working well together. We have and will continue to refer Daniel to all of my friends and associates for any of their real estate needs”. –Paula G.

Daniel is a true advocate for his clients. He makes himself totally available for questions and reassurance throughout the selling process. It was a great relief knowing that whatever information we needed to gather or convey, we could count on Daniel to do so expediently and with complete transparency. His knowledge of the process and culture of California real estate is an invaluable asset. – Joshua C.
