Moving from SF I did not have a local Napa agent, so I called Damian directly about a listing he had that I wanted to see. I feel I was so lucky to have made this decision because I do not believe I could have been represented in a more professional, transparent manner. Damian’s advice was very clear and concise, he was extremely knowledgeable, and timely in his responses.
I am a first time home buyer and believe by the time my new home closed, that Damian had done everything possible to make me feel comfortable and confident in the choice I made. I love living in Napa and love my new home! I highly recommend Damian and just referred him to some friends who are moving to Napa!

Nobody will work harder to find you the perfect house and save you money! Damian toured me over every inch of Napa, Green Valley, and even lower Vacaville until we found it. The price of a new home we had toured and I loved, (but was too expensive), suddenly was lowered significantly by the Developer, when he pointed this out to me I told Damian I would meet him after work and sign the Offer. He was so worried we would lose this deal that he sent the offer to my office and insisted he drive to my office in St. Helena immediately and pick up the deposit check from me. He then drove to Green Valley so we could secure the deal. The next day I drove over to the Developer’s sales office and the agent told me I was very lucky because a second Offer on the home had been delivered 1 hour after ours! Damian really understands the market and will deploy his “hard-work ethic” from his days as an investment banker to his service for you. He is smart, sophisticated, and driven. I am very confident in saying that Damian will find you the house you want and secure it for you at the best price possible.

Our move from Silicon Valley to Napa could not have been more seamless, efficient, or transparent. Damian was very knowledgeable about the Napa real estate market and he communicated that expertise very clearly to us. We wanted to structure our Offer in a particular manner but Damian gave us many viable options and convinced us to take a much better approach. We would have not had our Offer accepted for the home of our dreams if we had stuck to our original Offer plan. To put it simply, we listened to Damian and by following his guidance, we got exactly what we wanted. We have referred friends to Damian and they have been very grateful. In our opinion he is the best agent we have ever met!

Damian is an old friend and when I needed guidance to sell my winery, I called him. He could not represent me since my winery was in another state, but he acted as my consultant throughout the entire process. The very successful multi-million dollar private sale was completed in January 2019. Damian was there for me every day throughout the process and was instrumental in helping me manage the process. His patience and perseverance and listening skills are truly remarkable. His ability to understand the financial, business, and real estate aspects of selling a winery would set him apart from most agents, even in Napa. I highly recommend him!

At the end of 22 years in the same home and in the same town (Petaluma), I decided I needed to change! Damian was so caring, patient, and professional, he made this difficult transition a wonderful experience. His guidance, as I shed years of clutter to make my home meet his vision, led to 7 offers and the highest price ever paid for that model of home on the east side of Petaluma. As this process was going on, he found me the perfect house in Napa and worked with the bank to stop it from going into foreclosure, so I could purchase it at a below-market price, and the former owner could avoid bankruptcy. He is truly my miracle agent, and I could not recommend anyone with more enthusiasm!
-—Kitty G., Small Business Owner
I referred Damian to a dear older friend. I have bought and sold many properties over the years but have never experienced the level of service Damian performed. He is absolutely the best agent I have ever worked with!
-—Tony K., Retired CFO
It was time to sell our beloved family estate in San Rafael. There were many family dynamics to get through and Damian and his team handled everything with amazing patience, skill, and sensitivity. He branded the home perfectly and priced it perfectly to drive over 30 groups through the initial open house in a slow market. Three offers came from the initial open house, he negotiated between the three and we sold within 10 days for significantly over the listing price, which was his plan. I highly recommend Damian.
-—Mark I
My wife and I selected Damian to sell our beloved 16-acre vineyard and luxury home estate. Our property had been on and off the market for several years. Instead of insisting we lower the price, Damian suggested we raise the listing price. We listened and followed his advice. Damian’s direct, no-nonsense approach to selling our property was refreshing. The property was sold for more than we had previously listed for within months. Prior to closing he found the perfect off-market property for us to purchase and executed the closing of both properties perfectly, which saved us time and money. We highly recommend Damian.
