"We’re so grateful to have worked with Danny DeSmidt on the purchase of our first home in the Bay Area. The house we had our eye on, which we now happily own, had a number of open questions in the disclosures which we didn’t know how to approach. Under pressure, with a competing offer on the table, Danny developed a comprehensive plan and tracked down the answers (working tirelessly over Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays), coordinating supplemental inspections and contractor estimates for future work and scouring federal and county databases for information. Danny guided us forward through every twist and turn with expertise, humor, and confidence. His knowledge of construction was invaluable. We enthusiastically recommend working with Danny.- Karen Brandt

"Home buying can be a stressful time, but my husband and I were blessed and very lucky buying a home on our first attempt, with the help of Danny as our relator. He is proactive, professional, and most of all personable in this experience. My husband and I recently moved from SoCal to Castro Valley to be near family after two health scares and no help nearby. We wanted to purchase our first home at the end of this summer after doing research on the market and buying process as we were not quite ready to buy. We decided to look at open houses for fun (to get a feel of the neighborhood), and meet Danny, who was showing an open house in Castro Valley. This was the first open house we found on Zillow that morning (thanks to my dad for suggesting it), and the first and only house we viewed; thus we were pleasantly surprised that the house met all our requirements for our first home. Excited, but not hold our breath, we thought our chances at winning would be slim against the current over bidding craze. We had no relator, no pre-approval, very little home buying experience, and no time between raising our toddler, and busy jobs in healthcare. During the open house, Danny spent a lot of time talking to us and motivated us to apply for a bid. He became our relator, connected us with pre-approval in one day with JVM Lending, patiently guided us through the home buying process, encouraged us to negotiate a bidding price, and congratulates us for winning after 1day! Everything went so fast in 3 days from start to finish. We really thank Danny for his hard work, patience, knowledge, advice, and listening to our thoughts or concerns on the whole process. We are so grateful for Danny's expertise and guidance otherwise we definitely would not be homeowners today!" - Irene and Armando

"Many thanks to Danny DeSmidt and his team at Compass for the excellent results on the sale of our home, 909 Holiday Ct. From preparing our home for sale, to the closing of escrow, Danny was a helper and encourager through the whole process. Danny’s experience in construction and his connections with other experts in the trades made him a valuable asset. His partnership with Chris Clark enabled us to receive professional advice in design and market trends that we were able to receive and follow. They walked us through the whole process and we couldn’t be happier with the results. I have already recommended Danny and Compass to my family, friends and Neighbors. Thanks Again" -- Greg and Susan Coppa

"Working with Danny DeSmidt and the Chris Clark team at Compass was a pleasure. There's an enormous amount of preparation needed before getting a house to market. Danny made it a breeze by scheduling the inspections, painters, gardeners, flooring installers and the home staging. I can honestly say that my house had never looked better. Soon the house was up for sale and Danny was there to greet the prospective buyers at the open houses. When it came time Chris and Danny were experts at thoroughly critiquing both the positive and negative sides of the multiple buyers offers presented which in turn helped me make an informed decision on the right offer to accept. I am so grateful for everything that they helped me to accomplish. Working with Danny and the Chris Clark team you can feel confident that you're working with the upmost qualified professionals to securely guide you through every step of finding the right buyer for your home." - Fredrick Wilson
