Reviews & Testimonials
“Danny is a true professional. We have bought and sold many multi-million dollar properties and this was by far the easiest. He listens, pays attention, and very detail oriented. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.”
— Lyn B.
“Gratitude and Relief! The idea of selling our family home during these times filled us with trepidation, but Danny Varona alleviated all our anxieties. So much of what we used to take for granted before 2020 is now unpredictable and disorganized. But Danny was dependable and supportive throughout the whole process. Danny helped us with the house preparation, mastered all the marketing, skillfully coordinated going onto the market and the open house, and, perhaps most importantly, adroitly navigated the bids and the negotiation process with the potential buyers. I thank our lucky stars to have met and worked with Danny Varona and cannot recommend him highly enough.”
— Liz & Dave (Seller client)
