“Were it not for Danielle’s tireless effort and shrewd guidance on behalf of her buyer, I feel quite certain that our home would still be on the market. No other agent I’ve met, including even our own, would have displayed the extraordinary dedication required to consummate this sale. It’s only because of her incredible energy, uncompromising professionalism, and superior communication that this deal was closed…and with terms satisfactory to all!”

“Having two Realtors who were so in touch with what we were looking for really made us feel like we were all part of a team. There was always someone to take us to a showing, someone ready to listen attentively to what we wanted in a home - but more importantly, there was someone willing to encourage us to look beyond the ‘typical’ and suggest things that we had not previously considered. We really felt like we had a partner who was looking out for our best interest, without whom we would not have found ‘our home’ or sold our current home.”
– Jon & Cathryn Short, Buyers and Sellers

“Danielle and Colleen were solely focused on our interests and what was best for us in the sale of our home as well as the purchase of new our home. Having this dynamic team on our side made us feel extremely comfortable throughout the process. Rather than pushing us to lower our price to make sale, they stayed true to their morals and worked for an unusually extended period of time and in the end got us our asking price. The purchase of our new home came with land beyond to push the process through and finalize the sale. We look forward to working with them on our future transactions.”

"I worked with Danielle on the sale and purchase of my home and really can’t say enough good things about her. She is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with her time (including mornings, evenings, and weekends over the course of several months). She answered every question, explained every form, and every part of the process very clearly and thoroughly. Danielle really was fantastic during the negotiation, closing, and even after closing. Buying a home in this market is challenging, but working with Danielle made it as painless and straightforward as possible. I highly recommend Danielle."

“The best single word to summarize my recent experience in selling my home with Danielle Wilson as my realtor is exceptional. But it was truly much more than that! Danielle is a highly accomplished and experienced realtor who truly cares about her clients. She knows the business, knows the area, knows how to stage a house, and knows how to price a property appropriately for her client(s). What I appreciated most about working with Danielle is her energy and “can do” attitude, her smile that always brightens the day even under the highly stressful and often pressured situation in selling a home, and the personal touches she adds as she gets to know her client(s) and tailors her work to their needs and timelines. In short, Danielle made selling my place a fun adventure rather than a dreaded chore for which we were successful on all accounts! Thank you, Danielle. I am grateful.”

“In the Fall of 2016 my wife and I were finally ready to start looking to purchase our first home somewhere in south orange county. We knew very little about the whole process so we looked for a real estate agent we could trust to guide us. Danielle Wilson did so much more than we ever expected from an agent. From the beginning Danielle’s work was apparent in the number of listings she had ready for us to take a look at. It was clear she had paid close attention to what we were looking for. The homes we looked at were in our price range, with great schools nearby, comfortable safe neighborhoods, and close to our jobs. Once we had picked a house, our dream house, Danielle’s experience really shined. We were not alone and there were several offers on the same home. Danielle knew we had to increase our initial offer, but by how much? Well that’s why Danielle is the best, she suggested we do two things. Increase the offer and write the home owners a letter, letting them know who we are and why we think this home would be perfect for us. The homeowners later told us that they selected our offer, which was $4,000 less than the highest offer, because of the letter we wrote! Oh, and Danielle did that delicate negotiation with the most critical timing while she was in New York on business. Danielle was on top of every email and phone call. After our offer was accepted Danielle continued to clearly communicate the following steps and made the purchase of our first home a great experience.”
