Dani Brinson, Realtor @ Keller Williams Coastal Virginia Chesapeake

I worked with Dani for four years, and I can say without hesitation she is the best decision I made in my home-buying process. From day one, Dani combined excellent communication, honest market insight, and genuine patience while helping me refine what I truly wanted in a home. I was searching for something very specific: at least half an acre, deep water access, an open floor plan, great bathrooms, and plenty of space — ideally in Virginia Beach, even though I knew that combination at my price point was close to a pipe dream. Over those four years, we toured 25–30 properties together — vacant lots, fixer-uppers, and everything in between. I already owned a townhouse, so there was no urgency, and Dani never pushed me to “just buy something.” She put my long-term happiness first and helped me stay disciplined until the right opportunity appeared. Then in October 2025, it happened. A fully renovated, turnkey, over-an-acre deep-water access waterfront home came on the market in Virginia Beach — and it exceeded every single requirement I had. Even more incredibly, it came in way below what comparable properties with those features typically sell for. It felt unreal, but Dani saw the opportunity immediately and guided me through it with total confidence. What makes Dani exceptional is that she doesn’t just think about whether you’ll love the home today. She is constantly thinking about resale value, future improvements, investment protection, and how the property will serve you 5, 10, and 20 years from now. She balances lifestyle and financial wisdom in a way that very few realtors do. She also has an outstanding network of inspectors and contractors she trusts, which made the due diligence process seamless. I didn’t have to guess or worry — we thoroughly vetted everything so I knew exactly what I was buying. I cannot recommend Dani enough, especially for first-time buyers. You truly don’t know what you don’t know in real estate, and one mistake can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Even as a second-time buyer, I learned how valuable it is to have an experienced professional advocating for you. If you want a realtor who is patient, strategic, knowledgeable about all the Hampton Roads markets, and genuinely invested in getting you the right home — not just any home — Dani Brinson is the person you want on your side.

Dani was recommended to me by a fellow sailor after he had bought a house in VA. She helped me find the house i wanted, she was realistic and never made promises. She aimed for your goals based on availability and in my case she found it, but she wouldnt let me look at one house. So she made me go to a few others because only one property matched my requests. Well i took the one that matched my requests and 5 years later i sold it. I again asked Dani to handle it and she did a great job again. House was on the market for almost 2 months. She had has a strong network of people to support any transition. If i ever find myself in Hampton Roads area again I will once again ask her for help!

After decades of moving all over the world, we finally found a realtor who beats them all. Dani is the most attentive, knowledgeable, and connected person to have in your corner when making a home purchase in the Hampton Roads. From the first conversation, Dani was so easy to work with. Our top priorities became hers, and our happiness was placed above and beyond any possible sale or commission she might have gained. Dani made sure all of our needs were met and took the time to ensure we were on board every step of the way. From showings and negotiations, to meeting with contractors, Dani provided us with top quality care, and we are so very thankful for it. If you’re in the market to buy or sell, give Dani a call. We know you’ll be just as impressed as we were!

Just buying a home can be extremely stressful and overwhelming. Imagine having to sell prior to buying in order to get your child in the best school district? But Dani’s expertise in the real estate business made our journey easy. From our first meeting she put my family at easy as she detailed the entire process, including market trends, helping us understand the best time to sell and buy. Her ability to analyze market conditions and provide excellent advice helped us secure our dream home. I can’t say enough positive things about her service provider skills. All I can say is THANK YOU Dani for all your guidance, support and patience during this process. We cannot recommend Dani enough if you are looking for a great agent! I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Dani was the best real estate agent I had ever worked with. When selling our home in Virginia Beach, my husband and I were apprehensive because we had bad experiences in the past but Dani repaired our disbelief. During our first meeting she was professional, approachable and most importantly: non-judgmental. She carefully explained the process of selling a home in Virginia to us and inspected our home so that we had the option to invest, clean and put our best foot forward when it came to listing and showing. One day after our open house we had several competitive offers to work with and she even took time out of her Easter Sunday to make sure we had all of our questions and concerns answered. If you are a first time home buyer/seller or you’ve bought and sold a couple times, Dani and her team have the tools you need for success! The added bonus is that she’s fun to work with and an instant lifelong friend! If I could give her a million stars on google I would!
