Danny just recently helped me purchase a Lake Union houseboat. He was absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend him. He is extremely responsive, professional, and is well informed and connected. Any issues that came up were handled quickly and with my best interest in mind. I will definitely be a return customer.

We had the pleasure of working with Danny on a challenging off market property sale. Danny has some of the best knowledge of and relationships with floating home owners….more than any other realtor in our experience. That expertise enabled us to secure a specific, off market floating home. Danny was tenacious and creative throughout the process. Danny Varona matches the property opportunity with the best buyer.

Heather B

Danny is the best! We are really happy with our new floating home purchase. Danny was easy to work with, competent and extremely helpful during the entire real estate search and purchase. Buying a new home is really stressful and it was wonderful to work with someone really knowledgeable and helpful that we could trust.

Gerry and Tanya

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.

Jay W

Danny, is responsive, knowledgeable, kind, honest, easy going, and personable. What else could you want when making a big decision. Also, inspections, were set up promptly and he made sure to fit around my schedule.

David T.

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.

Lois

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.
