There is nothing I can add that hasn't already been described here. It's all it's all good and it's all true. Daniel is a prince among mere mortals.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Daniel Oster on my recent home purchase, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, he guided me seamlessly through the entire process with professionalism, kindness, and genuine care. Daniels decades of experience in Santa Cruz County truly showedaEUR"his deep knowledge of the market, along with his wide network of loan officers, contractors, and other professionals, made every step smooth and efficient. He always had reliable connections to help move things forward quickly. What stood out most was his honest, no-pressure approach. Daniel consistently had my best interests in mind, took time to explain details I didnt understand, and ensured I felt informed and confident in every decision. He was incredibly responsive, dependable, and thorough, never leaving loose ends and always following through. As a first-time homeowner, I especially appreciated how he went beyond just the transactionaEUR"teaching me about home maintenance, explaining the details of my new property, and even celebrating with me when I finally got the keys. Daniel encouraged me to stay in touch and made it clear that his support didnt end at closing. Most importantly, Daniel never felt like a aEURoesales agent.aEUR? He felt like a trusted friend walking beside me on this journey. He is humble, genuine, and truly cares about the people he works with. I am deeply grateful for his guidance, patience, and expertise. Thanks to Daniel, I found a house I absolutely love. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a homeaEUR"you will be in the very best hands.

We just sold our house with Danials help as listing agent. He is highly knowledgeable, professional and diligent. He helped us throughout the process with finding contractors for repair, choosing right paint colors, selecting fixtures, doing the paperwork, etc. He had open houses every week and responded to every communication. He took the pain out of the process. We highly recommend Daniel.

Daniel review When you mention to anyone that you are looking to buy or sell a house the first thing they say is ?do you have a realtor??. Then you are told how great their realtor is the greatest and you should call them. Well, unless they are recommending Daniel then they are doing you a disservice as the true greatest realtor in the area is Daniel. We have worked with Daniel to buy our first house, sell that house and now purchase or new house. Each time Daniel has gone above and beyond to help us out. With both times signing he has been there to explain the forms for us and help with our children. Something we honestly never expected of him! When selling our house he knew the right time to list it, how to stage and had contacts to help with every aspect of our move and sale. If you have any doubts how committed Daniel is then search for Big Foot Realtor on google and you will see that Daniel has one of the top three listings on Zillow! We couldn?t have wished for a better realtor at every stage of the process. I wonder if we might not have lost the bid on our current house if it wasn?t for the hard work on Daniel?s part to help us complete the deal and close in record time during COVID. When it comes to making a the right bid on a property then timing is a major factor and Daniel was there when we found the house we wanted. Now that we have purchased the house with the help of Daniel we have contractors and work scheduled so that we can get a lot of it out of the way before moving in or as soon as we have moved in. So if you want a realtor that you can have confidence in securing your dreams of selling or buying then Daniel is the man to call.
