We worked with the Maverick Group for both selling and buying a home, and Danny helped us find a house we now call our dream home—a place we feel so good about raising our kids and creating countless unforgettable memories. Danny, and the Maverick Group as a whole, treat you like family. They understand how important it is to find the right house to call your primary residence, offering thoughtful advice and considering details you might not even think about yourself. Danny was a true advocate for us. I’ll never forget when we made an offer—he was in the middle of a family emergency and not feeling well, yet he still answered our calls, worked on offers and counteroffers promptly, and went above and beyond. His kindness was remarkable. On the logistics and paperwork side, Marie was incredible, making the entire process seamless and efficient. Her attention to detail and organization ensu…

His kindness was remarkable. On the logistics and paperwork side, Marie was incredible, making the entire process seamless and efficient. Her attention to detail and organization ensured that everything moved smoothly, reducing so much stress for us. Even after the purchase, they didn’t just leave us on our own. Danny helped us find contractors, shared advice, and showed us examples of their previous work—whether it was painting, repairs, electrical, plumbing, landscaping, or even planning to build an ADU. He helped us assemble the right team to turn our house into exactly what we wanted. I can’t recommend Danny, Rebeca, Marie, and the whole Maverick Group highly enough!
I've done a lot of real estate transactions and worked with over 20 realtors throughout the years. Danny was not my first choice, honestly. I had worked with two other SC realtors before, and while each had their pros and cons, both were higher on my list when I interviewed to sell my Bonny Doon home. Yet Danny differentiated himself as the best for this particular sale both during my selection process and the sales process. What set him apart? 1) He hustles. When I first contacted him to let him know I'd be open to selling my house off-market (along with the two other realtors), he was the only one to find potential buyers. He brought 3 people to my home within a month of my mention that I was open to selling. No other realtor brought me one. When I decided to list with him, he was Johnny on the Spot with tremendous responsiveness overall. 2) He has construction contacts and works them …

He brought 3 people to my home within a month of my mention that I was open to selling. No other realtor brought me one. When I decided to list with him, he was Johnny on the Spot with tremendous responsiveness overall. 2) He has construction contacts and works them hard, not just providing static referrals. I needed to get my house and yard looking good (had renters before) in very short order as I didn't have the cash flow to go without rental income for long. In our interview, when I explained this need, he actually got on the phone in that moment and scheduled his (very good!) landscape guy for Monday (this was a Friday). He had flooring guys, painting guys, the works, and he was willing to spend his time and energy to get them on site in short order. Once I signed with him, he followed through. This was the number one issue for me with this sale in this market. 3) He was very responsive overall, always answering calls and getting back on issues very quickly. 4) We got the house sold at a reasonable price before putting it on the market. Yes, I could have tested the market, but it would have cost me about 20k to fix the place up completely, and with a complicated rent-back situation putting hair on the deal, he found the perfect buyers. Saved them money over what they would have spent had it gone on market, likely saved me money given the hair on any potential deal, and saved himself money on marketing etc. A triple win. Can't beat that.
My first impression of Danny was a bit reserved, but once he started discussing our needs and desires, Danny showed his real skill as a knowledgeable realtor. I appreciate his efforts to cater to our whims and negotiate on our behalf. Danny knows the "neighborhood," all the quick and easy backroads and local folks too. Having Danny on our side is a real plus. I can't thank Danny enough. Danny epitomizes all we should come to expect in a realtor, but he provides the personal touch plus. Thanks, Danny.
I have used Danny to both buy and sell properties over the years. Not only does he execute, but he does so with an uncanny ability. He has a sixth sense about his business that translates to his clients.
Danny combined his knowledge and experience to create a perfect scenario for us as sellers, and then it was fully executed as planned. We would not hesitate to recommend him.
I would highly recommend Danny Alvarez. His vast knowledge of the market allowed him to price my home appropriately such that my house sold in one week for more money than I expected. He was professional and extremely accessible, always able to answer any of my questions.
Danny had extensive knowledge about the area, the property (he is also a contractor), and how to sell the property. He knew exactly what to do, even with difficult potential buyers. He was steadfast, patient, and adaptable with his negotiations. He was fast, too. Things worked out great.
Danny was such an invaluable resource in selling my house. He went above and beyond any "traditional" agent duties and helped in every facet of the process, including helping get the house ready to sell. Danny listens to clients' opinions while offering his own in a non-domineering manner, is knowledgeable about the market, and is basically an upbeat and enthusiastic agent. I would recommend him without any reservation to either a home buyer or seller.
Danny did a great job of bridging the needs of the seller and us as the buyers. This was a short sale and the sellers were understandably having a difficult time. Danny was respectful and sensitive. We were not local and that made the logistics a little more complicated. Danny worked with us and was available and informed. Everything was handled in a smooth and professional manner. He went above and beyond the call with references for needed maintenance and we were very impressed with his structural and infrastructure knowledge. Oh, and did I mention he's a really nice guy.
I have known Danny since he was my neighbor on King Street in Santa Cruz in 1999. Danny helped us buy our first investment property, a home on the West Side in Santa Cruz in 2002, sell it three years later in 2005 (he found the buyer) while at the same time representing us in the purchase of a ranch in Northern California, while doing a 1031 tax exchange, and pulling off the closings on both properties three days apart. In April of this year (2013) he represented my daughter in the purchase of her first home in South San Jose. Danny is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional in everything he does. He is also an all-around nice guy who I can call at any time for advice regarding real estate and building projects. I recommend him highly to anyone needing real estate services.
