★★★★★
"Dani Whitacre is the absolute BEST! We have used her to sell our previous home and recently purchase our new home this week. She is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. Can't thank Dani enough for all her help for getting us the house for our growing family." - Ashley L.

★★★★★
"We had stumbled upon each other following a brief inquiry we had regarding an Austin property. She was quick to reach out directly with a phone call. With that said she was more than willing to help inform us on the rental market and assist us in our search. We found a great property, in what feels like, overnight.
Dani was extremely easy to get a hold of. She communicated via phone, text, and email; answering our many questions and concerns. She perfectly accommodated what we hoped to find in a new rental property and made it happen!
With a kind, welcoming, and hard-working personality, I would gladly work with Dani again in the future and would not hesitate to recommend her to others looking to rent or buy!
" - Ben + Sam

★★★★★
"I had a wonderful experience with Dani Whitacre! She was professional and pleasant throughout the entire process; she really made me feel like I was a priority for her. " - Bridget G.

★★★★★
"I met Dani about 17 years ago in the line of work I was doing at the time. We quickly developed a friendship with absolutely nothing to do with real estate or buying/selling a home. It was pure friendship, and I had no idea of her profession or her employment aspirations. Four years later, during a random conversation with Dani, I mentioned that I had been looking to rent. At that time, she came forward saying that she was a Realtor and would be more than happy to help me, to which she did, tremendously! I couldn’t believe I didn’t know her profession and was beyond excited to know she was a Realtor because I knew this was a lady I could trust! Dani helped me night and day for what felt like MONTHS (which I’m sure it was) trying to find the right place to rent. When a couple of rental places had slipped through our fingers due to high demands and things going quicker than I could act, she respectfully mentioned buying a home! My young, 21-year-old self was taken back with utter shock of her believing I could actually buy a home at 21 years of age! But with rental properties going for the same monthly amount a mortgage, I felt very comfortable with Dani, leading me to buy my first home! After another month of searching and Dani working endlessly to find me the perfect home for the price point I was comfortable with. I bought my very first home, and it was brand spanking’ new! I couldn’t believe it! It is one of the top 10 greatest feelings I’ve felt in my life, and SHE helped me get there, and I couldn’t have been more grateful for her and all her hard work.
Fast forward to five years. I moved out of the Buda/Austin area. I reconnected with Dani in reference to my home I still owned, which I didn’t want to sell, so she agreed to be the listing rental agent! Dani didn’t have much experience in listing rentals at the time, but she got the job done, and it was rented before I could even move my things out!
Fast forward another six years. Dani was right there every step of the way, from 2 years ago when I had mentioned I wanted to sell it, up to closing day! She did her due diligence in providing me with up to date comps and professional advice for two years! She never strayed away from me and my “wishy-washy” mentality on selling or keeping the home. From rental home searching to the home buying search, to the moment she sold THIS house TO ME until the moment she sold THIS house FOR ME, Dani has dedicated her time, has worked endlessly, and has made sure all transactions went as smooth as possible!
Needless to say, it has been a great pleasure to have worked with Dani from the BEGINNING to the END of that “chapter” in my life! I am beyond thankful to have had her in my corner to help advise, assist, and guide me through the ENTIRE process! Thank you, Dani!
" - Brittany M.

★★★★★
"Since I first moved to Austin, Dani has helped me (and then both my husband and I) with the purchase of four homes and the sale of three. I learned early on that Dani would listen carefully to us and develop a clear understanding of what we wanted and needed. She's someone I can trust is always looking out for our best interests, and will consistently work hard for us. She's helpful, incredibly responsive, and a Realtor I've repeatedly recommended to my friends and colleagues looking to buy or sell in the area." - Radena H

★★★★★
"Dani is one of those highly driven professionals who you promptly add to your personal short-list of people that you would engage to either sell your own home or attempting to buy a new home in an entirely distinct environment. Dani has successfully assisted the sale of two newly remodeled, well-maintained, Austin homes at the highest dollar per square foot in the area and also purchase a really different home in the Vineyard at Florence. She understood the depth of our business and marketing experience. She was flexible to allow us to ‘color outside of the lines’ to close these properties with mutually favorable results. Dani is a consummate business professional and a pleasure to know. Highly recommended." - Michael W.

★★★★★
"Dani has been a joy to work with. She has now helped our family, both us and our children, sell or buy four houses over the past several years. Each one has gone smoothly and the services Dani provided were always of the highest caliber. We would gladly refer any friend to use Compass and specifically Dani, with the assistance of buying or selling a property. Thank you, Dani." - George + Kathryn J.

★★★★★
"Dani made our buying experience positive and smooth. Her research and knowledge were amazing. She by far was the best agent we met during our search. I would strongly recommend using Dani!" - Sam B.

★★★★★
"Dani is professional, knowledgeable, and great to work with. Now we are in our dream house!" - Kelly + Jason

★★★★★
"Dani is a great agent. She helped my husband and me through the home buying process every step of the way. We always felt like the priority when we were out searching for homes. She is prompt, organized, and professional. She has helped many of our family members and friends buy and sell homes, and we will always use Dani Whitacre's services!" - Ashley

★★★★★
"Dani is one of the hardest working agents I have seen in over 40 years of buying and selling homes. She is thorough, detail-oriented, organized and very professional and I would not hesitate to recommend her to any buyer or seller." - Melissa O.

★★★★★
"We had the pleasure of working with Dani Whitacre for the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our existing home. Dani has the unique ability to make us feel as if we were her only client. We highly recommend Dani for buying or selling." - Brian

★★★★★
"Dani was a pro when our sale became complicated. She was responsive, communicative and a skilled negotiator. She also helped us buy a new home. During that process, she has been wonderful dealing with the builder and helping us negotiate that process. Dani knows the market in Southwest Austin. Her instincts are impeccable and her customer service is well above average." - Murray C.

★★★★★
"We had been working with another agent for over a year who was not helping us find anything in the areas we were interested. After meeting Dani, we were confident we found our agent. Within a few months, we found the Austin home we wanted and were able to put a bid in while we were on vacation. She was very helpful in walking us through the process, and also she helped us find our lender for financing. We couldn't be happier. " - Anne + Ken S.

★★★★★
"Dani is a very professional real estate agent. She worked tirelessly for the success of the sale of my home. She was very creative and offered many suggestions during the entire process. She is patient, hardworking and knowledgeable. She went above and beyond during showings and uses her ability to network for the client's benefit. I would recommend her as an agent and would employ her services again. " - Jeanne V.

★★★★★
"If you are looking for a do-it-all professional, Dani is your Realtor. When it was time to sell our home, Dani was able to get our residence on the market within a couple of weeks of our first meeting. Not only did we receive an offer within the first week of listing but we also received the price that we were asking. But that is not where it ended. Once the close date was established, she was able to provide us several rental property options and close a deal in time to vacate our old residence. The following year, she once again was our Realtor and found a brand new home for us where we still reside today. She has been by our side...selling, renting and buying." - Aaron B.

★★★★★
"Dani always responds quickly, maintains great communication channels, and is willing to show you as many listings as are necessary to find just the right home. A phenomenal agent and person all around!" - Andy V.

★★★★★
"Dani was thorough and attentive. She understands this is a big decision and was very patient with us. She made us feel like the this was as important to her as it was to us. I would highly recommend Dani to anyone buying or selling a home." - Donna + Duane A.

★★★★★
"When Dani Whitacre helped me successfully sell my lot (after several failed months with a previous Realtor) I enlisted her to sell my house. It sold after only 3 days on the market! During my contact with Dani, she was professional, personable, and went the extra mile to make sure I was being treated fairly by all agencies. Even after her role was professionally concluded she continued to advocate for a reimbursement for a cost she felt I should not have been afforded. The best part, I was reimbursed! What stands out most about my experience is the amount of empathy Dani has for the particular circumstances of selling a home or a lot. She really gets to know YOU and is sensitive to YOUR needs. She made me feel like she was by my side on this journey, constantly looking out for my best interests. I would highly recommend Dani to my close friends and family." - Chasity S.

★★★★★
"Upon meeting Dani at an open house, we immediately knew she was the agent for us. Her knowledge is exceptional, and we felt very confident in her ability to help us find our new home. She and her team exceeded our expectations during the entire process. We would definitely recommend her to anyone needing help in buying or selling their home." - Peter

★★★★★
"Dani has the highest attention to detail. She always has the client's interest first and foremost and keeps you appraised every step along the way, facilitating a very smooth transaction. I would highly recommend Dani for any real estate transaction for the first time buyer to the luxury market." - Lisa K.

★★★★★
"Dani made our home buying experience easy and enjoyable. She listened to us and understood exactly what we wanted to the point that, when we walked into a house, she'd know instantly, and extremely accurately, whether or not we were going to like it. We couldn't have asked for a better Realtor than Dani. Moving to Austin from California with limited time to view homes, Dani was always very respectful of our time and prepared thoroughly with efficient and thoughtful focus on what was most important to us. My husband and I have worked with Dani for both properties we've purchased in Austin and will continue to work with her for any of our real estate needs. I cannot recommend her enough! Dani goes far above and beyond anything I'd expect from a Realtor, I know I can always count on her to put my interests first. Dani's knowledge and experience make her an excellent Realtor, her personal attention and dedication also make her a great friend." - Radena + Brian H.

★★★★★
"Dani is a very professional real estate agent. She worked tirelessly for the success of the sale my home. She was very creative and offered many suggestions during the entire process. She even baked fresh cookies for an open house. I would recommend her as an agent and would employ her services again." - Beth P.

★★★★★
"When we first met Dani we were in need of a larger home. Four teenagers, two boys and two girls in a newly formed blended family, could no longer share two bedrooms. We found a home that had been listed for a while but little did she know the challenge for her had only begun. We had major remodeling work to be done in our current home. She saw our determination and pitched in more than expected. She sold ours and we purchased hers and I am sure it wouldn't have happened without her hard work and expert advice. Thanks, Dani!" - Scott B.

★★★★★
"Dani was terrific in helping us sell our home. She went above and beyond with home staging and the professional pictures her photographer took of our house. She keeps you appraised every step of the way, facilitating a very smooth transaction. She is a wonderful individual, and we will use her again. And I hope you have the opportunity of using her services, too." - Laura E.

★★★★★
"We appreciate Dani's friendly service. She was helpful and fun and made our home buying an adventure! It was not stressful because we knew we were in good, honest hands. Dani is someone you can trust - a \friend\" in the realty business. We now have a new home and a new business in a new location. Dani - if any of your home buyers or sellers need Custom Closets or any type of home organization - send them our way! :) We would love to work with you on making more clients as happy as you made us! Thanks, again for your hard work and support in our new endeavor." - Carol + Bill P.
