My reputation as a leading real estate broker specializing in floating homes in the Seattle area has been a result of my in-depth knowledge and expertise in this unique market. It’s not uncommon for journalists and fellow real estate experts to seek my insights into the floating home lifestyle.

Recently, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Fern McErlane for INSIDER, a digital lifestyle magazine.

Drawing on my wealth of experience, I shared insights into the flourishing houseboat scene in the United States, particularly highlighting the vibrant community on Lake Union in Seattle.

Danny Varona-Marin was our real estate agent in selling our houseboat. He guided us through all the changes and obstacles that were going through the real estate market during this period of time. And we had to sell it in time to avoid a significant income tax penalty. Through his efforts and knowledge of the current market we are happy to say he did so!!!! WHAT A RELIEF! We highly recommended this fellow without any hesitation. He is kind, easy to work with, and smart.

Danny was instrumental in putting our floating home on the market by helping to stage it, arrange for minor repairs and putting the sales information on many media platforms. We had an offer on day 2 and he helped to shepherd the process to closing in a very professional manner. We would highly recommend Danny as he has a feel for the particularities of floating home sales and is easy to work with even when challenges arise during the process.

It was a pleasure working with Danny on the sale of my floating home. He’s a good listener, knowledgeable about the particulars of floating homes, and attends to details tirelessly. From arranging pre-inspection and repairs, to pricing and marketing strategy, he was outstanding. Highly recommend.
