As an integral part of the Dawson | Varvara | Turner Team at Compass, Dan brings a fresh, entrepreneurial approach to New York City real estate, blending hands-on market experience with a background in digital strategy and new development sales. Since launching his career in Seattle after graduating from Arizona State in 2016, he's worked on more than $125 million in new development projects spanning the Pacific Northwest to New York City.
Dan's early career was spent navigating the fast-paced Seattle market, where he quickly built a reputation for strategic thinking, adaptability, and results-driven client advocacy. That foundation sharpened his ability to guide buyers, sellers, and developers through complex deals with clarity and confidence.
Before relocating to New York, he launched a boutique digital marketing agency focused on helping businesses tell their stories more effectively through branding, content, and strategy. As the business grew, he brought it with him to the city, expanding his client base across Manhattan and Brooklyn. While the agency serves a wide range of industries, the experience deepened his understanding of how thoughtful, data-driven marketing can create real impact - especially in real estate.
Now at DVT, he's proud to be part of a powerhouse team known for delivering high-touch service and trusted expertise. He's had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients through his career, including executives from companies like Apple, Amazon, and Goldman Sachs, and he approaches each transaction with the same level of precision, creativity, and care.
