Danny Dawson

I’m a very self motivated person with a passion for Real Estate and the art of negotiating. All this led me to a successful and consistently growing career. While doing investigations in my previous career I learned to ask a lot of questions and verify every piece of information. Part of these skills were learnt from a great course on interview and interrogation provided by Wicklander-Zulawski & Associates. This course and my past experiences helped me develop a winning strategy for negotiations but more importantly protecting my client's interest. On a personal side, I live an active lifestyle and I’m always seeking new adventures. I love being in nature whether it’s hiking, canoeing, snowshoeing or camping. I do it all, but my true love lies in mountain biking and snowboarding. My wife and I are currently building a house. Although I’ve been involved in multiple building projects this is the first one that I am fully managing myself and I must say that the endless hours of research, meeting with contractors, architects, and engineers has given me a new outlook on residential construction. I’m excited to share my newfound knowledge and experiences with my clients. I am also quite passionate about architecture and local history. I am fascinated by the detailed craftsmanship and the story that every building tells. Whether it’s an old abandoned building in the woods, a century old home in the Glebe, or the stone walls of the canal locks; it always evokes a warm connection to Ottawa’s past. Fun facts about me: - In 2007 I competed in the Canadian National Freestyle Snowboard Championships; - I have been a snowboard instructor for over 10 years; - My wife and I bought our first house when we were just 20 years old; - In 2016, I received the Gold Award from Royal LePage (top 10% sales); - My biggest real estate deal was $2,195,000; - I am fluently bilingual (English and French).
