Daniel Smith

I have worked with many capable agents over my 74 years. Daniel is the best. He is thorough, thoughtful and knows how to close a sale. Daniel went far above expectations in the sale of my condo. He developed and executed a selling plan that resulted in an excellent price and fast sale. He also managed the considerable work of managing the completion of the condo renovation so I could leave the country. If you are considering using an agent, include Daniel in your review. I don't believe you could do better.

We worked with Daniel Smith in the Bay Area for the greater part of 2023 to buy our first home. We appreciated Daniels friendly and calm demeanor, his responsive and clear communication, and especially his patience helping us navigate the current rollercoaster of a real estate market. He was always willing to meet to discuss our questions, quickly check out a new property, follow up on questions for the seller agents, and so on. Daniel was understanding of our constraints and never asked us to go out of our comfort zone, such as pushing us to make an offer when it didnt feel right, or showing us properties clearly outside our price range, but he did have a clear sense of urgency when appropriate, especially during the offer and negotiation stage. After a long search, we ultimately ended up winning our bid on the perfect property for usaEUR"for which we are very grateful. Daniel was extremely responsive throughout the entire process, starting from when we first reached out to him, any time we were considering making an offer on a property, all the way through getting the keys to our home, and he has made it clear he remains available to help and provide advice in the future. We would recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a true professional, who is dedicated to helping you find the home best matched to your needs, while enabling the home buying process to be as pleasant as possible. Thank you Daniel!

Daniel recently helped us buy our house and sell our previous one. He was upfront with all his recomendations and they were spot on whiched helped in both buying and selling. He isn't pushy or aggressive in trying to get you to buy or sell on something that you don't want. He was very patient with us and had no problems answering any questions we had. For buying he was extremely helpful in dealing with a difficult seller and he was proactive in making sure everyone was on the same page and on top of their paperwork. For selling we used the concierge service he offers which allowed him to fix up our property to get top dollar, the process was easy and painless. I highly recommend Daniel if you're looking to buy or sell in the peninsula.

We meet Daniel through friends of ours, he was their purchasing agent in Pacifica. When it came time to sell our home, we sought Daniel out to help us with its sale. It was a complicated sale and Daniel worked with us and many of his contacts to make it happen. We appreciated the time and patience he gave us. We were always able to text or email him at any time with questions and get a quick response. We are so happy that everything worked out perfectly! If you have a home to sell or are making a purchase you would be glad to have Daniel on your side! He gives his 100% of his time and is always helpful and professional! Thank you Daniel!!

Daniel is the best! He made selling our house extremely easy. All we had to do was move out and he was able to get our house updated and ready to put on the market within a few weeks. He stayed in close contact with us throughout the process, sending regular updates. He priced the house appropriately and it was sold quickly, even during these crazy times. We couldn't be happier.

Daniel is amazing!! In this crazy housing market he helped us find a new home in our ideal neighborhood, premarket, in our budget, and we were able to put in our offer and go under contract within a week of starting our search with him.As first time home buyers, we were worried that finding a place we loved and could afford in the bay area would take years. We had some friends who had recently bought a house with Daniel and said that he helped them find their perfect house almost immediately. With that recommendation, we started looking at homes and were thrilled when Daniel suggested we look at some premarket houses, since that could reduce the competition. Daniel really knows the ins and outs of the coastal towns and has access and connections to some amazing properties. With his knowledge of the current market on the coast and relationships with other realtors, we were able to agree on a speedy negotiation and go under contract almost immediately. It really helps having a realtor who can communicate with the sellers and help you know where you stand so you don't have to waste as much time on offers that won't get accepted.Since we bought the house premarket, Daniel's background in construction was invaluable to help us understand and plan for the few up-keeping improvements that we needed to make before moving in. He helped us find great deals and reliable contractors for everything from landscaping and pest-proofing to carpeting and painting.In addition, Daniel has been so kind and helpful that he is even helping to coordinate and set up for all the contractors after the close before we move in. We had a month long trip planned (since we never imagined we'd find a house so quickly), and Daniel is helping us get everything coordinated so that the house will be move in ready once we get back. He really goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy and comfortable in your new home. He won't just abandon you after the close :)He and his wife also had great recommendations for play groups and daycare in our new neighborhood, and we are so thankful for all of their suggestions.If we had the budget, we would definitely buy another house with Daniel!

We could not have had a better experience! Daniel recently sold our home in Pacifica. From the very start, Daniel guided us through the stressfull process of selling the home we raised our family in. He was always proactive in our communications and was extremely responsive when we had questions. Daniels guidance and expertise made the experience as low stress as possible. We appreciate his hard work and can recommend him with the highest of confidence.

My wife and I met Daniel at a random open house in 2019. We werent fully ready, but that didnt stop Daniel from being very friendly and offering his services to us. Time went on as we kept saving up. I also tried for this city loan program that Daniel didnt know about but was willing to help me with the process. The loan was delayed then Covid happened so all that meant was just more time to save.Daniel kept in contact the whole time and was very patient with us.Finally in early 2021 we were ready to start viewing homes as we were ready. We set up tours and found a home to put an offer in. Knowing we were very new to this, Daniel literally went page by page and line by line to explain to us what all was on the offer packet. He gave us some example cover letters from other clients and was very communicative regarding what steps he was doing for us.We lost that first offer, but we definitely werent disappointed since with Daniels help we gained more confidence for the next offer.Daniel is very attentive to what we were looking for. And the Compass website for matches was really accurate and easy to use.We finally got an offer accepted mid 2021 and Daniel was very helpful is getting the process through escrow. He definitely has a knack for getting the other side to do their job and is what makes Daniel awesome.We definitely would recommend Daniel to any of our friends who are looking for an amazing real estate agent.
