We had an excellent experience working with Daniel. He was knowledgeable about building materials and the local market, which gave us great confidence throughout the process. He walked us through all the documentation in detail, ensuring we understood everything clearly. His responsiveness and organization were top-notch, always available when we needed clarification or updates. We especially appreciated their thorough analysis of the property's features and value. We highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a professional and reliable real estate agent.

Daniel is an outstanding agent. He he is responsive, pragmatic, and extremely knowledgeable. He stuck with us as we toured home after home, and was able to answer every question we had about the home itself, the neighborhood, price and buying details. When we won our bidding war, there were several things that occurred that made me extremely grateful to be working with an agent that has his experience, reputation, and ethics so that we were able to close smoothly and on time- early even! That was when began to truly understand how big of a difference these things make in the complicated and harrowing home buying process. We could not have asked for a better experience. If I ever have to work with a different agent, they've got big shoes to fill!

Daniel Renné was exactly who every first time homebuyer should work with! He taught us so much about the home buying process, helping us learn more about houses than we ever thought we needed. His expertise on the local market, relentless energy educating us, and consistently going above and beyond helped us close on a house in 2 weeks. Daniel was an absolute pleasure to be around and we feel very lucky and thankful to have had him on our side. 10/10 would recommend Daniel or really anyone from his team given how he manages his brokerage. Thank you Daniel!

Daniel is an exceptional agent and was instrumental to getting us into our home. We worked with Daniel under a tight timeline; while Daniel was extremely responsive, he still maintained very high standards and completed extensive research to ensure we made a good decision. Along the way he communicated openly and made sure we understood our options as we made offers and closed on the property.

Overall Daniel stands out among the agents we've worked with and wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.

Daniel did an amazing job helping us navigate the local Seattle market. His thorough analysis of each property was way above and beyond what we have experienced in past home purchases. Daniel’s experience and knowledge were key to helping us successfully win a bidding situation. Daniel is truly the gold standard for what a full service broker should be.

Daniel was awesome to work with as first time homebuyers. He went over the process with a ton of useful information, and would make sure we understood each step before moving on. For every house we were interested in, he would review the listing, and let us know any aspects that may not have been initially apparent or that we missed. For every home we toured, he was able to point out pros and cons we wouldn't have even known to look for. He made sure to understand what was important to us and our lifestyle, and really helped us narrow down exactly what we were looking for in a home. Even though he is extremely knowledgeable, he made sure that any decision was ultimately up to us, and that he was just giving us all the information. By the time we found our house we had no doubts it was the best choice for us, and with Daniel's recommendations were able to put in an offer swiftly and successfully. We'd absolutely recommend Daniel as a relator to anyone looking to buy!

I can’t recommend Daniel enough. As a first time buyer, Daniel gave a lot of details in a very methodical way, which I really prefer, on every step of house hunting and purchasing. On my journey of house hunting, which was quite a long one spanning about 6 months, Daniel was always there to answer all the questions I have. The service Daniel provided was way over expectations. I am glad that we worked this out together.

Daniel helped a family member with their purchase, and they were so impressed that when I chose to move back to the area, they insisted I get in touch. I'm so glad I did. Daniel takes the time to get to know you, your goals and even irrational wishes, and guides you through the whole process. His method of responding with videos instead of long written-out answers get so much more information out there at a higher bandwidth, I don't know why everyone doesn't do this in all kinds of different aspects of business! He's honest with pros and cons of things and gave honest advice based on my feedback. When I found a house that seemed like a good idea, he helped me make sure I was considering everything and once we decided to move forward, he was involved and in touch through the whole process. I was honestly surprised at how easily everything went, but I have to presume that there was much going on behind the scenes keeping everything smooth.

Daniel has my unqualified recommendation!

Years ago Daniel helped buy my first home in Seattle. Since then, my family has grown and it became time to upgrade to a bigger house. Daniel of course was our obvious choice - he is just awesome to work with - and he helped us to close on our dream house!!

Here are just a few examples, that make him stand out for us:
- He helped us break down an immense search area from Everett all the way down to Tacoma into manageable pieces and he took us out on several research trips to help us understand how much house we can get for a budget in each of them.
- You don't have to blindly trust his advice - He is super transparent and always shares all the underlying data with you, so you can easily come to the same conclusions by yourself.
- He does everything! He got us an awesome inspector (you want to work with Jeff!), broke down the report on what we can reasonably negotiate, hired several experts (plumbers, electrician, deck specialist, roofer) to get bids which we then used in the negotiation - we didn't have to do anything, Daniel handled it all. It was amazing!
- He gives great advice on how to make a strong offer or approach negotiations, but he made it clear that in the end its our decision. So even though we went against some of his advice, he fought hell to get us what we wanted - and successfully!

I can recommend Daniel without hesitation - and if we ever are in need of a realtor again, he will be obvious choice.

Daniel helped me and my family finding a beautiful home and quicky close a deal. He will help you navigate the complexity of the real state market providing all the information required by also being super helpful and friendly. I'm a very curious person and Daniel has all the answers you need and feel comfortable along the process.

I was always impressed by his process, very thorough, friendly and professional. Before working with him we were really lost. Daniel will help you understand your strengths as a buyer and recommend a personalized buying strategy that definitely works.

Daniel is so knowledgeable and dedicated that creates personalized videos for you to explain every step and technical details. He will review house information before hand and help you review critical parts like inspections reports and provide useful advise on what to look.

I believe the best quality is that his professional opinion was always right and is backed by technical details, he abstracts you from most of that complexity but he can go deeper anytime and provide those technical details an quicky explain why what he recommends is the best decision.

Basically, the best experience ever. We are very grateful for him and will recommend him to our friends taking the buyers/sellers route. You will get a real state agent always on top of your process and will guide you through it with success.

We recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Daniel, an exceptional real estate agent who made our dream of buying a perfect home a reality. From the moment we met him, Daniel's professionalism, attention to detail, and wealth of experience were evident, leaving us with complete confidence in his abilities.

One of the standout qualities of Daniel was his unwavering dedication to being detail-oriented. He meticulously analyzed each property we viewed, taking into account every aspect that mattered to us, including location, amenities, and future potential. His commitment to understanding our specific needs and preferences ensured that we only considered properties that truly aligned with our vision.

Daniel's data-driven approach was remarkable. His extensive knowledge of the real estate market was apparent as he presented us with comprehensive data and statistics for each neighborhood and property we explored. This information empowered us to make informed decisions, and we felt reassured that we were basing our choices on solid facts and trends.

With his vast experience, Daniel expertly guided us through every step of the buying process. His familiarity with the local market and his keen strategic mindset were invaluable, particularly in bidding war situations. He skillfully drafted our offers strategically, ensuring that we stood out from the competition and ultimately secured our dream home. His expertise in navigating these challenging scenarios was truly remarkable.

Daniel was an incredible realtor, especially for my wife and I in a difficult market as first time buyers. Daniel’s expert experience in this area was so useful and secured us a win on the first offer we made with him. Daniel was extremely responsive for all of my many questions, creating custom videos which clearly had a lot of time and effort to go through all of my concerns and make sure that I understood the reasoning and background behind whatever the subject was. For example, Daniel helped me get into the nitty gritty parts of the contracts we were working through as well as into some of the city codes, well past what you would expect. Daniel also made himself available for us twice in one day, with some substantial travel when we decided we wanted to see the house we eventually bought again. We loved working with Daniel!

Daniel was not only a great realtor but also an overall pleasant person to converse with. He was not only thorough with his explanations and feedback on each home, but when things went not according plan, he went to bat for us and took a lot of stress off of our plate. Can’t recommend Daniel enough for any future buyers and sellers.

HOLY COW. 100/10 would recommend.

As a first time homebuyer in a different state, I really did not know what to expect. My sister recently bought a home with another realtor and her experience was absolutely awful, so I was a bit hesitant going into the home buying process with a realtor. This was definitely not the case working with Daniel. Daniel reached out to me via phone call and just wanted to get to know me and what I was looking for. He gave me a lot of things to think about such as my ideal price range, location, and amenities. Once I had some time to think about what I wanted in a home, I had a Zoom call with Daniel to really get into the details. He was well equipped in showing us historical data in the real estate industry, and housing market supply and demand trends. This Zoom call really did open our eyes to see there’s more to a home than fancy amenities. Daniel’s professionalism, data-driven mindset, and overall positive attitude made it SO EASY for us to figure out what we wanted. Once we gave him our criteria, he connected us to home listings and the fun began. In addition, Daniel exceeded by going over the comps of the surrounding area, noting key pros and cons of each home, and gave his professional opinion on the build quality of all of the materials inside and outside the homes. He is extremely patient and never made me feel pressured to want to put an offer in on a home if I didn’t absolutely love it. Despite our time difference, Daniel ALWAYS responded in a timely manner, and made it out to the home site to record a video on the SAME DAY. The devil works hard but Daniel Renné works harder!

We were able to find our first home in less than a month and Daniel took care of EVERYTHING for us. He helped us come in with a strong offer which was accepted by the seller the next day. With his negotiation, we were able to pay $0 closing costs + buy down our interest rate!

Another thing about Daniel is that he is extremely detail-oriented and found a key discrepancy in our HOA CC&Rs which contained contradictory information. He was quick to call this out and alerted the seller and the HOA of this. None of the other real estate agents for the other units had found the mistake from the inception of this developed community!

He is truly a rockstar and answers and explains everything in a thoughtful way. He goes way above and beyond with his clients no matter how big or small the purchase price is. Daniel is an absolutely amazing realtor and a phenomenally genuine person!! He is extremely down to earth and a kind human being. I was extremely blessed to have such an intelligent, thoughtful, and hardworking person like Daniel as my realtor and he is 100% going to be my go-to for all future properties. I highly recommend Daniel to absolutely everyone looking to buy a home.

We met Daniel during our time selling our previous home and he represented one of the buyers. After chatting with him, we enjoyed working with him, and he earned our trust (even we were on the different side of the game!). After closing our house, we decided to work with him to find our next home and finally got one! Thus want to share our experience with you :)

Let me lay out the decision tree if you are considering of working with Daniel.

If you are familiar with everything (not the first time homeowner, know what do you want to purchase, what factors to consider, location, home condition, electricity, foundation, items that need attention and maintained, negotiation, collect information, previous owner's information etc...), and the real estate agent is just a bookkeeper to help you process everything and get the documents done (any maybe as few agent fee as possible, i.e. looking for rebate), Daniel is NOT your guy since you don't need his service, since you've known everything.

However, if you are a first time homeowner, or even like us (second time homeowner, need to upsize our place to welcome a new family member, have a sense of what we want such as X sqrt+, roughly what factors we value such as neighborhoods, areas, near to what) but don't know exactly where to start or not sure what details do we need to pay attention to, then Daniel will be your wonderful friend.

Every time we check out a house, Daniel provides his notes including the condition of the house, the previous owner's notes, whether it is a flip or recent update for selling, what major factors need to be considered beforehand. During the house touring, Daniel helps us look into what major components that needs attention (electricity, pipe, siding, root, drainage, the possibility of future remodel to upgrade the house) in DETAILS (yes, details matter and the agents that we worked before couldn't provide such details and knowledge) Plus explaining different details in details (verbose I know :p). For example, the pros and cons of different sidings, the construction materials, roof, drainage ... For sure, you can always ask him, "is this house built in a good way ?" if you don't understand thoroughly what Daniel just said, then Daniel will let you know what his honest thought is WITHOUT trying to close the deal.

Why try NOT to close the deal ASAP is important ?

Even though a lot of real estate agents representing buyers claim they work FOR the buyer but not sellers, they are indeed not. Reasons being they (buyer agents) are sort of with seller and seller agent since their commissions are based on the transactions but not the time they spend on you. Thus all 3 parties, except you, want to close the transaction as soon as possible and make the selling price as high as possible. Sometimes, buyer agents will "convince you" this is a really good home, and you don't want to miss out on this even though this one probably is not the best for you. Or try to convince you to add another 10k to the offer (even without thinking of the price is reasonable) to win the house. These behaviors are NOT the behavior you are looking for, if your current agent has any of these behaviors, stay away.

Apparently, Daniel doesn't have ANY of these undesired behaviors. We put up an offer to a house and haven't heard back from the seller for a day, we were anxious and felt unsettled and almost asked Daniel whether we need to increase our offer while Daniel kept telling us we were doing just right and now it needed was simply patience. Turned out Daniel was right, seller accepted our offer without countering a higher price. It is easy for Daniel to ask us to increase 3k or so to higher the chance to close the deal on this (since he knows we like the house, and a little more on commission) but he didn't. He acted professionally, asked us to keep calm, and finally got back what we wanted :) This is something not easy, and worth calling out.

There are more we would like to share, but has already exceeded the word limits, so we need to stop :)

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Daniel. He has in-depth knowledge of the Puget Sound area and the current state of the market. He navigated a very unpredictable time in the current market methodically. Daniel is very thorough and efficient and took me from knowing nothing to putting an offer in within 10 days. During the negotiations, Daniel's understanding of the current market and negotiation strategies led to our very first offer being accepted.

If you are looking for someone who does very in-depth work in real estate but also is able to translate that well to someone who doesn't know anything, Daniel is your guy.

This was our second opportunity to work with Daniel. Daniel is incredibly detail oriented and knowledgeable about the local real estate market. He can go into extreme depth on any question you'd like to discuss and goes the extra mile to provide analysis on any potential purchase including providing the data to back up his reasoning. In our experience, Daniel has a knack for accurately valuing properties and negotiating with the seller to get the deal done. Would highly recommend.

Working with Daniel was a pleasure! He was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to break down and explain the different aspects in the selling process which made me feel extremely confident going into selling my Condo.

I can say with full confidence that working with Daniel was the best decision I made during this process.

As first time home-buyers, my fiancé and I were looking to work with an agent who could hand-hold us through the process - fortunately for us, a friend recommended Daniel and we could not have asked for a better agent! In our first few meetings, Daniel gathered all our requirements and expectations and helped us prioritize them accordingly. Apart from shortlisting appropriate listings for us and scheduling the showing for us in a timely manner, he went a mile ahead and ensured that we learned how to assess the build of the house and its condition. This was immensely useful to us, especially when we wanted to go to an open house on our own. Post every showing Daniel would share a comprehensive video about the house and expected appraisal value, that helped us decide whether we wanted to bid on the house or not. After being outbid a few times when houses were getting sold for way above the asking price, we had lost hope of finding our dream house but Daniel didn’t let us give up. He went out of his way to look at the houses we may like when we were on a vacation, and lucky for us it was the house we loved and ended up buying.

Thanks for everything you did for us, Daniel!

Daniel was an incredible advocate and educator throughout the entire home-buying process. We learned so much about home construction and the Seattle market from his videos, notes, and commentary during our tours. He was incredibly responsive and made himself available for showings on short notice so that we could keep up with the pace of the Seattle market. He paid attention to the structural elements of every house we toured and made sure we had a good sense for electrical, plumbing, drainage, roofing, etc. Once we began writing offers, Daniel made sure we got the best value for our budget and ensured that we fully understood all of the specifics of the deal. He was never pushy but also made sure we understood the dynamics of the market so we could jump at the right time. We would recommend Daniel to any of our friends looking to buy in the Seattle area.

Daniel made buying the process of buying my first home very easy. He encouraged me to ask any question even if I thought it was dumb because he thought it was very important I understand every step of the process. He made customized videos for me before and after every showing as well as initially when I was meeting him the first time. These videos were very detailed with so much information about the market and the houses included in them, it was super helpful. Daniel was also just a nice, funny and very professional guy. I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone!

This is the second home we've bought with the help of Daniel, and I'm as impressed as I was when buying our first home. Daniel truly cares about helping his clients find the right home. I appreciate his detailed explanations of the Seattle home market and trends. He's great at finding homes that meet our needs and would help us stay level-headed when assessing if a home is right for us. You can tell he's not just interested in making a purchase, but is dedicated in making sure that the purchase is right for us. The Seattle market can be competitive, so when we were ready to make an offer, Daniel would walk us through multiple options depending on our competivness and level of comfort with risk. He's always available, responsive and ready to move fast when the right home comes on the market. Our next home purchase or sale will definitely be with Daniel.
