About Daniel In 2006, after going through a devastating divorce that left him feeling desperate and uncertain, Daniel decided to get his real estate license. With no prior knowledge of the industry, he took a leap of faith, eager to see where the journey would take him. Using his savings to fund his new career in the middle of a real estate market crash wasn’t the most strategic move—especially since he didn’t even realize a crash was happening. But he pushed forward, determined to make it work. Daniel had always dreamed of making it big in Hollywood, but as that dream faded, another quickly took its place. He joined a major real estate investment group at a large brokerage in South Florida, where he got a firsthand look at working with top developers and pre-construction projects. Despite his efforts, the early years were tough. He made no sales, earned no money, and spent countless hours sitting in open houses for pre-construction projects, watching his savings disappear while waiting for his first transaction. It wasn’t a lack of motivation, drive, or tenacity that held him back—it was the market itself, shifting rapidly before his eyes. Instead of giving up, Daniel absorbed every bit of knowledge he could, determined to become the best real estate professional possible. As many agents abandoned the industry, Daniel had no choice but to keep going. Failure wasn’t an option—he refused to move back in with his parents and start over. So, he pushed forward, doing everything by the book to make real estate work for him.
