Dan Colson

As an integral part of the Dawson | Varvara | Turner Team at Compass, I bring a fresh, entrepreneurial approach to New York City real estate, blending hands-on market experience with a background in digital strategy and new development sales. Since launching my career in Seattle after graduating from Arizona State in 2016, I’ve worked on more than $125 million in new development projects spanning the Pacific Northwest to New York City.

My early career was spent navigating the fast-paced Seattle market, where I quickly built a reputation for strategic thinking, adaptability, and results-driven client advocacy. That foundation sharpened my ability to guide buyers, sellers, and developers through complex deals with clarity and confidence.

Before relocating to New York, I launched a boutique digital marketing agency focused on helping businesses tell their stories more effectively through branding, content, and strategy. As the business grew, I brought it with me to the city, expanding our client base across Manhattan and Brooklyn. While the agency serves a wide range of industries, the experience deepened my understanding of how thoughtful, data-driven marketing can create real impact - especially in real estate.

Now at DVT, I’m proud to be part of a powerhouse team known for delivering high-touch service and trusted expertise. I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients through my career, including executives from companies like Apple, Amazon, and Goldman Sachs, and I approach each transaction with the same level of precision, creativity, and care.

Whether you’re looking for your next home, evaluating an investment opportunity, or bringing a new property to market, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
