TESTIMONIALS

You made such a difference and it’s so deeply appreciated. Sometimes the name says it all, and it’s so true. Thank you for all you do.
Jackie & Renee, Nov. 2023

Thank you so much for the great work you all did for us in getting my mom’s house sold so quickly and at such a terrific price for us. I appreciate all the attention to detail from everyone and the constant communication with updates. We were fortunate to find Daniel, and I really enjoyed communicating with him. He has a great personality and so much knowledge of what is happening in the real estate industry. Thanks again for helping us during a difficult time!
Elizabeth, January 2023

Thanks to you Daniel and the awesome team of Marie and Nancy Jean – definitely the best house buying experience yet! Superb professionalism, expertise and attention to strategy and details, all while being the most personable and enjoyable people to work with. We can’t thank you enough for all you did for us! Thanks again for making us Sonoma neighbors-we’ll be in touch soon. All the best

Ron & Scott, September 2023

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the hard work you and your team did to get the Sonoma house sold. You all went above and beyond so that I was protected from having to do anything from a distance. Everyone was friendly, personable, and professional.
Diane, January 2023

Daniel recently helped us with the purchase of our home. Since we were relatively new to the area, he patiently explained and then showed us the various locations where homes in our price range were located. This was incredibly helpful as he pointed out several areas that we weren’t even aware of! We decided to buy at a time when homes were selling at an all time high with multiple offers (lucky us!). Because Daniel is so well connected in the market, he was able to give us excellent guidance in making a smart, strategic offer.

We could not be more thrilled with the house we ultimately purchased, at a price Daniel negotiated for us that we felt was very fair.
Daniel and his entire team were a delight to work with through the 30 day close. They maintained excellent communication and made what is often a stressful situation very easy. We HIGHLY recommend Daniel when buying or selling your home!

I want to thank you and your team for doing such a wonderful job selling our mom’s property in Sonoma. Every step of the way was made so smooth for us . I am especially appreciative that you found a buyer before the house was even listed!

I sincerely appreciate your exuberant attitude and expertise in handling the sale. Your extra effort in dealing with our tenant was tremendous and greatly helped move the process of selling the property along. You are definitely # 1 in my book!

I also really appreciate your referral to the other agent to us on the San Francisco property. She and her team are doing a fabulous job getting the house ready for sale.

I appreciate all your hard work! I can’t thank you enough for all yo

Elizabeth, May 2022

Daniel, we are so grateful for ALL you’ve done to get our home sold and into the hands of good buyers. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Hollie & Jim, May 2022

Thanks for all your hard work everything went well and a pleasure to work with such a great team.

We could not have found a better realtor than you! You far exceeded my expectations! We drove past the house and still cannot believe we sold it for the price. There is a reason you are a top realtor because you find solutions to any problems that arrive. We could not have come even close to the sale without your excellent guidance and expertise. You are simply the best realtor in Sonoma!

Stephen, May 2022

Kevin and I have taken many opportunities to toast and we are THRILLED with the whole process and how smooth and quick it all was.

Maybe it’s like this for you all the time, Daniel, but this has been an amazing experience of grace, faith, and surrender. You are a master at guiding people through this process.

We feel very supported by the best possible team and I couldn’t imagine a more seamless process!

Tonia & Kevin April, 2022

We began working with Daniel on the sale of my mother’s home when she passed unexpectedly. We interviewed a realtor who incorrectly stated we needed to rent out the home until probate ended. Daniel showed up with a complete market analysis, made a phone call to an estate lawyer to verify if/ how the home could be sold, and sold the home within a week; of course the process was followed according to CA probate laws.

Years later, during the recession, we asked Daniel to come give us a market analysis of our family home. After discussing our options, he sagely advised us to wait, “If you don’t HAVE to sell, just hang onto it, the market will rebound”, “Be patient”. We followed his advice to the T, since his expertise and reputation preceded him.

When we finally decided to sell, 10 years later, Daniel guided us through the entire process. Although we had some interest in the home, after 3 months, we took it off the market for the holidays. Within 2 weeks, he found a buyer with an acceptable offer!

Part therapist (individual and marriage), part friend, ALWAYS cheerful, creative and professional, we highly recommend using him!!

Enrique and Natalie Cool Ramos 12/2021

“We cannot think of anyone else we would have wanted to work with on the sale of our home. From the moment we reached out ‘thinking’ about putting it on the market, through the planning of what to do to best show it, to the work we did and that was done to prepare it for sale, to all the emails and phone calls, you and your team were all so supportive and encouraging. Every question, every concern was addressed. You were full of advice and experience, and it all paid off. We found a wonderful family who loves the house and will surely take good care of it going forward. It was hard to let go and move on, but it was time and you made it all the easier. You are a delight to work with. You take us into your heart and life, like family/friends. You work hard to ensure we get something fair, good, and worthy just like it was yours. Thank you for everything!!”

When I recommended you to my friend I knew she would be in the best of hands! Her previous attempt to sell her home didn’t work out but you took over and immediately got her multiple bids. You made her feel so much better throughout the entire process. She is so grateful to you. I’m am grateful to you too for all you’ve done for her, as well. I am so thrilled she has landed and her dream has come to life.

Joanne Sanders

Working with you has been a true delight. Your tireless energy and efforts are greatly appreciated.

Nancy & Russ Bond

“Daniel did an excellent job of selling an estate house in Calif., for me. I live in Washington. This was a difficult sale. He hired professionals to clean, paint, carpet, haul, and landscape. Daniel dealt with a problem tenant until he vacated. I am very glad I hired him. He negotiated a fair price and paid attention to each detail until it closed. I highly recommend him.”

The task was not an easy one, however, you navigated the process to ensure the positive outcome I needed! Your deep reach of resources was also extremely helpful and valuable. You were able to get things accomplished reasonably and very timely, given the strong relationships you have with the city, and contractors! You are knowledgeable, resourceful and most of all have the best “can-do” attitude! Thank you again Daniel job well done!!”

Donette Clarens

“Dear Dan, A long and arduous journey has reached its successful conclusion, in the greatest part due to the efforts of two true professionals, you and Marie (Miller). Without your expertise, enthusiasm, and perseverance, the sale of Oleander Hill most likely would never have occurred…Let me simply say that you all excelled in most difficult circumstances.”

Layne G.

Nextdoor - The East Side

“I have used Dan to complete 2 sales and 1 purchase in the last 2 years. I’m also currently looking to purchase again and am using Dan because of his dedication to his clients. He responds quickly and answers my questions thoroughly and honestly which I believe sets him apart from other Realtor’s who just tell you what you want to hear. He is well versed in all markets within Sonoma and Napa Counties. Dan is always available for a call, text or e-mail, if you are looking for a consistent, honest and extremely hard working Realtor, give Dan a try… You will not be disappointed.“

Besides finding a home she is happy with, you made the experience fun. I don’t recall ever receiving a testimonial that was so positive. I congratulate you on your sincerity and professionalism.”

Lawrence Brackett

Chairman & CEO, Frank Howard Allen

“Dear Dan, Roy and I greatly appreciate the excellent service that you provided as our listing agent. Your frequent updates, your follow-up with realtors that showed our property, your thoroughness when reviewing documents–all this plus your pleasant attitude–has put your head and shoulders ahead of every other realtor that Roy and I have contracted with. This is no small feat since Roy and I have bought and sold seven homes in the last 25 years, in several states along with two properties in Montreal. Dan, thank you; you’re the best! Warmest regards, Marlene Verdery”

“He is just hands down the best. Honest, hardworking, super knowledgeable, and really cares about his clients. He works just as hard for a little mobile home client as he does for his multi-million dollar client. He goes from helping a famous singer or actor to some normal average Joe with ease and makes everyone feel like they are number one. His great sense of humor helps calm the nerves too.”

David & Jill Williams

“Daniel Casabonne recently sold a home for my wife and me in Sonoma. I write not only to praise Daniel but highly recommend him to you as both an agent and advisor on the sale and transfer of Sonoma real estate. I have been practicing environmental law and land use transactions for 35 years. I have handled many of my own real estate purchase transactions. Daniel taught me many things. Daniel is honest and direct. You can count on him to keep his word and to be prompt and keep you as a seller informed about who is looking at your home and who he is courting to look at your home. Daniel is above the fray. He has a good sense of humor and an intelligent pragmatic approach to sales which makes his enthusiasm for your home contagious without feeling phony. Dan is not driven by statistics or the opinions of the “real estate agents.” Daniel will work with you to market your home individually. This is important because Daniel doesn’t just place your home on the MLS and wait for the phone to ring. Daniel actively seeks out people to see your home and personally shows it. Daniel works hard with interested parties to put the deal together and get your home into a contract. Once in contract, he works long hours to meet all contingencies and get the sale closed, on time. If you want to sell your home for the best price, look no further than Daniel Casabonne. I recommend him without reservation.”

Mark Pollock

“Selling the Acacia property is the second experience of selling a property that I’ve had with Daniel Casabonne. So how do I describe the experience of having Daniel help me sell both properties? Daniel demonstrated the following qualities that ensure a successful sale: Calculative, Collaborator, Honest, Listened, Nerves of Steel, Patient, Supportive, Adapted, Hustled, Laser-sharp Negotiator and got the results that met my expectations! I’m looking forward to having Daniel help me sell my third property before this year ends.”

Jose

“Daniel is the best Relator in Sonoma”

Simon Doonan

Creative Ambassador , Large of Barneys department store NYC

“Daniel made us immediately comfortable with his solid listening effort. He exhibited heartfelt compassion, thoughtfulness, professionalism, and fine touches of humor. During our previous six home sale transactions, we had never felt as appreciated by an agent. Daniel used his critical property analysis and astute negotiation skills on our behalf. We value the complete professionalism rendered by Daniel.”

Peter and Suzy C

“Dan found us our house then sold it for us 3 years later. He sold it when the market was difficult in California but because of Dan’s expertise, diligence, and patience- everyone involved in our transaction came out a winner! Dan is always kind and fun. He knows his market and is good at telling you what you need to hear in a positive manner. I’m proud to know him!”

Tami Bounds

“We want to thank you for all you’ve done for us. You are great and patient, smart and thoughtful. We trust you completely. We love the place! Come by and see us!”

“Dear Dan, We wanted to thank you for the great job you did on selling our condominium at Cobblestone. Your ability to market and advertise the property in Marin and San Francisco was a real asset. You being at every showing, inspection, and re-inspection gave us confidence that you were “on top” of what was happening. Even after we had an accepted offer on the condo; your working to get back up interest demonstrated the high energy and dedication you put into your listings. We have been involved in more than ten real estate transactions and you are at the top of the list of realtors we have dealt with in all transactions. We would not hesitate to recommend you as a realtor to anyone interested. Regards, Rich & Judy Disman”

Rich & Judy Disman

“Absolutely could not have done it without you! You are amazing! Thank you, Dan. We are so grateful! Fondly,”

Ray Gabriel

“I’ve bought about 12 houses and sold eight in my lifetime and only two of the real estate agents were worth the money. Daniel Casabonne is one of them. We had a great experience when we moved here four years ago. He knows the area, knows how to negotiate, and most importantly he’ll tell you things even if you don’t want to hear them. You can’t go wrong. Also does not matter whether you’re selling a mansion or a trailer everybody gets excellent help.”

Stewart S.

Nextdoor - Sonoma

“Thanks again for being the best agent ever!”

Megan F.

“Thank you, Dan, for doing what you just do so well, so naturally, so competently… Words can’t thank you enough!!! This sale is bittersweet for me but you have been amazing and made it as perfectly painless as it could possibly be. I always felt that you had my back and never really worried. Thank you, thank you! Fondly,”

Gaye Freeman

“Dan, we just think the world of you. We are so grateful to have had you as our realtor. You’re super experienced, canny, smart, and intuitive. Plus, you have a delightful sense of humor and the perfect amount of irreverence about it all, making house-selling work especially well for us! Thank YOU!”

Alison Head & Mark Pollack

“Best realtor in Sonoma!”

Francis B.

“We chose Daniel Casabonne as our realtor after a thoughtful and thorough amount of research on our part. Selling our primary residence was a very big deal to us and we wanted to be smart and maximize our profit in any way we could. First off, you sure can’t argue with stats like he has! You’re looking at an extremely successful professional with high national rankings and local superstar status. Once we had signed with Dan, we found him to be 100% accessible. He patiently answered the same questions more than once. He was completely responsive to texts, which is our preferred method of contact, but also easy to phone or email. His office staff deserves their own shout out as they are absolutely top-notch, 100% communicative with infallible courtesy and depth of knowledge. I don’t think you would necessarily receive that kind of attention from every superstar realtor; we felt taken care of at every step of the process. As we got our house ready to show, he was right there when needed, rolling up his sleeves and helping us to make decisions in the basement, grabbing a broom and brushing off the porch … I don’t want to promise he’ll do that for you 🙂 but he did it for us, so a fantastic combination of business smarts and years of experience, plus practical everyday assistance. We followed Dan’s suggestions to the letter, every step of the way, and what was the result? multiple offers which came in quickly, a fast sale, a fast close, and a sales price thousands over asking. Would we hire him again? In a heartbeat!”
