What clients say about Danny
I highly recommend Danny Freeman! I have had the pleasure working with him twice! The first being when I bought my place then again when selling my place. He was super helpful and explains things if you don’t fully understand the fancy jargon. He has answered or returned my phone calls in a very timely manner. He was very fair and great at negotiating. He had a lot of other useful knowledge he drawn upon as well. This knowledge was due to prior jobs which in my opinion makes him really stand out. As I stated before I highly recommend Danny Freeman!

Danny sold one of my rental homes that I had thought about selling myself. I’m sure glad I had him sell it. I got more than I was going to sell it for and he did all the work. Several issues came up during the inspection and he recommended some professionals to take care of everything. They did a great job professionally and quickly. Danny kept me informed and did a fantastic job. Best realtor I have ever worked with.

Danny sold 3 homes for us and we are very happy with the results. He is easy to work with and can be a tough negotiator if you need him to be. He was very helpful finding and scheduling contractors for repairs. He took most of the stress out of the whole experience and is knowledgeable in home construction.
