Bad experience! Both buyers and the sellers where extremely disappointed by his conduct. It seems like he was serving ONLY his own self interest versus representing honestly both parties. Further self research into his conduct via the community of real estate agents will tell you all you need to know. Would highly recommend to stay away from this individual and look for another agent ! read more

Daniel was an excellent realtor for us. He helped my wife and I through the entire process of purchasing our first home. He was able to show us a number of different houses over a several days and never pressured us into choosing a house that we felt uncomfortable with. He was willing to work with us to find a house that we felt comfortable with financially and in a neighborhood that we felt comfortable living in. He was patient and listened to all our requests as first-time homeowners, no matter how big or small they might be. He was honest and fair with us as we search for a new home. I would recommend Daniel as a realtor that you need on your side when it comes to buying a home. read more

Daniel Vachon, in addition to being one of the most amazing human beings I've ever met, is a fabulous realtor. I was thrown into a tough Trust situation when my aunt died, and Daniel was recommended by the bank. The fact that they pushed off foreclosure proceedings because Daniel was on the case was the first indication that I had found the right person for the job. From beginning to end, he did whatever needed to be done to help move the sale of a house that was in terrible disrepair forward. From finding plumbers to renting dumpsters and beyond, he was there with a wonderful attitude and patience for days. I wish I had fifty houses for him to sell. I would recommend Daniel without hesitation. He is the epitome of someone who takes "above and beyond" to the next level. read more

When my mother passed away we had no shortage of agents wishing to sell her home on our behalf! But our family knew that it was imperative that we find the best possible realtor for the job. None of us lived nearby. Most of us lived at least an 8 hour drive away. Complicating this was the fact that my mother did not have a valid will and the property needed to go through probate! None of us had real estate experience and we desperately needed to get the best possible price for the home so as to cover her extensive debts. After an intensive process that considered several well qualified agents; and assisted by an excellent recommendation from one of my mothers neighbors who had told us in glowing terms about how he'd sold her home, we finally chose Daniel Vachon. From the start it was evident Daniel was no ordinary realtor. Even though he was not able to list the home until I received the judges approval four months later, yet he was highly engaged with us. He assisted me with various probate questions and documents. It was obvious that he had been through this process many times before. And if he did not know the answer he would go to the right people and ask. He talked to the San Diego Assessor regarding tax obligations and with the probate office regarding other items. He would email me required documents (I didn't know they even needed to be filed!), assisted me in filling them out and at times even submitted them on my behalf. Daniel took charge of things helping us with the process of removing items from the home, overseeing touch up, replacement / repair of flooring and fixtures, landscaping and other things that would help to increase its attractiveness to a potential buyer. It was evident that Daniel understood the market well as he pushed hard to show the house at the earliest possible opportunity before the market was flooded with other homes for sale. Yet he always allowed us to be the ones who made the decisions. He was never pushy. When I finally got the approval from the judge to sell sell the home, we had been working with Daniel for at least four months and that without any kind of a written contract. I had been contacted by numerous real estate agents, some of whom urged me to switch to them, yet none of us had the slightest inclination to do so. Daniel was knowledgeable, savvy, personable, with excellent instincts and much experience. It was then that Daniel went into high gear helping us to decide on the listing price and showing the home. Even though all of us lived far from the home, Daniel made it easy for us. Approvals and documents that needed our attention were able to be signed online. Daniel was an excellent communicator even though we had incessant and extensive questions that ranged from ignorant to picky! Yet Daniel took time to answer each one of them in depth. And throughout the entire process he assumed the job of heavy lifting, making sure that every document was filled out to perfection, negotiating with potential buyers and counseling with us on the activity of the market and possible steps we might need to take to ensure the sale of the home. After two different buyers backed out of their agreements with us due to the softening market and interest in the home drying up. At this point we were willing to drop the price to a point where we might not of been able to meet expenses. But it was Daniel that advised us not to drastically lower the price advising us as to our options, recommending that we spend the money to professionally stage the home. When we allowed Daniel to do the staging, Interest immediately picked up and we soon had two buyers bidding against each other for the home. we were surprised and very grateful for the price that Daniel was able to get us. And even then Daniel worked extensively with the escrow company overseeing every detail until the new owners took possession. Daniel was extensively knowledgeable with every phase of the process. He was extremely hard-working, acting as if it was his own home that he was selling! In addition to that he was honest, personable, conscientious and detailed. We were so blown away by the energy and expertise that he had poured into this sale even though he was more reasonably priced than anyone else; going "above and beyond what was expected and so satisfied with the results that we ended up sending him a significant cash gift as a "thankyou". If we had another home to sell in that area there would be no one else that we would even consider to do the job. Daniel was simply the best. read more

Daniel represents all that is good with an agent. He works hard to help find the perfect place, is CLEARLY on our team and looking out for our best interest. I have worked with many realtors in lots of capacities...and never met one that seemed to actually care if everything worked out for me personally until I met Daniel. After yet another not so great experience with a realtor we chanced upon Daniel and it has been heaven...seriously wonderful. He also is pretty good at encouraging hanging in during the harder parts of buying a home. I believe he has helped us find our dream home, just a wee place we fell in love with ....and the best part of this was meeting Daniel. read more

To put it simply, I very highly recommend Daniel. We were dealing with a home sale during probate and Daniel led us through it successfully selling the house in what was becoming a difficult market. He came up with a strategy that helped the house sell both quickly and at a very good price. As none of us lived nearby, Daniel made very easy by going significantly above and beyond to ensure all details were handled. He helped out in many instances to handle touches directly, such as performing some of the minor repairs that saved time and money versus bring in a handyman. While Daniel would often say that was just part of the job, I've never worked with a realtor that was so thorough and willing to step in. His communication was prompt and excellent, regardless of how many questions we had. In all, it was a pleasure working with Daniel. read more

Daniel was an amazing Realtor. I was a first time home buyer and he provided a lot of valuable insight and advice. I recently moved to San Diego for work and had a hectic schedule that Daniel was willing to work with. He was proactive in finding potential condos that he knew I would like but never pressured me to sign. I really appreciated that Daniel wanted to find the right condo for me and was willing to take the time. We did find the perfect condo and Daniel even negotiated a better price than I thought I could get! I would absolutely recommend him! read more

The best thing I can say about Daniel is he is amazing at his job. The sale of our home went smoothly and Daniel was on top of the process every step of the way. Not only did he act as our realtor but he went above and beyond to make sure we understood the process and even helped us find professionals to get the house ready for sale. Best realtor every. read more

I would unequivocally recommend Daniel to everyone. It took us 3 years to find our home and never once did Daniel give the impression that we were a waste of time, or not serious. Daniel would preview properties himself before taking us, so he never showed us a home that was outside of the parameters we were looking for. During each step of the process Daniel simply explained what the purpose of what that step was for, but also how it tied into the rest of the transaction. He single handedly saved our escrow by locating documents from the city that our lender required that the seller did not have, and no one knew how to find them. Throughout the entire escrow we negotiated with the sellers regarding a large repair to the property and Daniel was instrumental in assuring that we received the funds needed from the seller to complete these repairs. Daniel was always responsive in a timely manner, well informed, and most importantly, kind. I always felt that Daniel cared more for the well being of my family than his commission. My wife and I recommend him whole heartedly. He has my eternal thanks for making our home purchase a reality. read more
