As someone who has known Dannie for decades, I can tell you that I’ve never known anyone who is more hard working, ethical and committed.

Dannie is simply a natural with people. She is the epitome of likable, a great listener and leader. There is an old adage which states “The way you do anything is the way you do everything.” Anyone who works with Dannie will experience her unparalleled dedication and commitment to them, working tirelessly in your best interest. I cannot recommend her strongly enough.

Valerie Heffron

Well you already know she has my seal of approval- this woman rapidly saved our family from being homeless!

I thought it was impossible, but when someone truly cares about others and has experience to boot- I guess things fall into place! Totally recommend Dannie for anything real estate. 👌🏻

Dannie and I came to know each other in the most beautiful hybrid personal and professional way not too long ago and she has been a solid presence in my life ever since.

When starting a new business, particularly one that relies so intensely on relationships, your character and morals need to speak for themselves. For Dannie this is a no brainer. Dannie has all the qualities necessary to be extremely successful in a business-like Real Estate. And when I say all of them, I mean all of them. She is organized, personable, self-motivated, and most of all genuine. She is extremely driven and puts her all into EVERYTHING she puts her name to. You likely have somebody in your life like that right now, somebody who continues to amaze you. Couple that with the ability to find humor and beauty in all appropriate situations, and there is no room for anything but success. In this industry, it can be hard to find someone to work with where what you see is what you get. What you hear is what you get. And with Dannie, both of those are without a doubt a reality. Dannie is at her very core a businessperson, an entrepreneur, and a philanthropist; some people can pull off one of those things, but it’s very rare to be such a tremendous success at all three. And she does it naturally. Oh and she’s a mom too. An amazing one. Really. Spend ten minutes on the phone with her, or even better in person, and you will want your relationship to last far longer than your business transaction. You can’t not. And you’ll find YOURSELF writing a testimonial that comes so naturally before you even know it. Dannie was meant for this. You’ll be so glad you found her!

Stacey Tracy

I recently met Dannie, in the short time I’ve worked with her, I’ve found her to be so dedicated in the work she does, committed, she’s like an angel in the sky.

She is very special. She is truly one of a kind.

Over the past several months, my wife and I have had the most pleasurable experience working with Danielle Taylor as she looked to find our next residence.

Because of my wife’s mobility issues, we gave “Dannie” a set of requirements that would have undoubtedly discouraged most people in her business. Not only did she meet our expectations she exceeded them by far, in too many ways to mention. Suffice it to say that we highly recommend Dannie and would add that if you consider working with someone else, you’d be losing out on dealing with a top tier professional!

Bruce & Mary

I had the pleasure of first meeting her in February 2020 at a YOLO (You Only Live Once) event where she presented my sons and I with gifts.

I have kept in touch with her since that time as I found her to be a genuine, kind, and supportive individual, especially to families with children of special needs, such as mine. Danielle has consistently been positive, resourceful, and dependable so that all future events that we have been a part of, could be a great success. She has a wonderful demeanor and is a pleasure to interact with, work with, and an honor to know. It is without hesitation that I would recommend her for any organization looking for intelligent, resourceful, and dependable professionals.
