ABOUT dani
My goal is to EMPOWER my clients through a data driven approach combined with my personal experiences as an investor in Arizona.
The MINDSET to get the DEAL done.
With a natural affinity for entrepreneurship, Dani opened her first business at just 19 years old: a beauty salon in her home state of Wisconsin. After successfully growing and eventually selling the business, she moved to Scottsdale in and transitioned into a career in real estate as both a Realtor and investor in 2017.
Dani has built her real estate business entirely through referrals and repeat clients. In 2020, she partnered with fellow HomeSmart Realtor Katie Rosenquist. Together, they combine their experience and perspectives to strategize, problem-solve, and guide their clients through every step of the process. Their client relationships often extend well beyond a single transaction, with Dani and Katie assisting multiple members and generations of the same families through moves, investments, inherited properties, and major life transitions.
Together, they serve buyers and sellers throughout Scottsdale, Phoenix, Paradise Valley, Sedona, and surrounding Arizona communities.
Both Dani and Katie have individually been recognized among HomeSmart’s Top 250 agents nationwide.
The market is a ALWAYS shifting and changing. Hiring a REALTOR who is IN THE KNOW and can guide you through tough decisions is now MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER. Dani provides her clients a level-headed, data driven approach so they can WIN in this ever changing landscape.
If you have bought or sold real estate in most parts of Arizona between 2020 and 2022 you know this the market was in a frenzy. The demand for homes far outweighed the inventory and homes were selling for significantly more than their list price. New homes sites worked off a “lottery” system, in which you could purchase a home in the community if you were literally, LUCKY. Investors and cash buyers from out of state purchased much of the inventory in ways conventional buyers could not compete with such as in all cash and with waived appraisals.
In June of 2022, the market made a noticeable shift. Many conventional buyers became fatigued with the process at the same time more inventory began coming on the market. With home prices at an all-time high, investor purchases slowed as anticipated returns would no longer be as high as earlier in the year. By July 2022, many parts of the state shifted from a sellers’ market to a balanced market, with a few areas shifting to a buyer’s market. In 2023, interest rates were the hot topic of the year, reaching an average high of 8.45% and slowing down activity in the market for buyers and sellers who weren’t in an urgent position to make a move. “Rate buy downs” became the name of the game, a buyer strategy in which seller’s provided buyers a credit to ‘buy down’ their interest rates for a select amount of time. Home sale prices remained steady, selling for 97% of list price, but with 60% of homes selling with seller paid concessions. In 2024, we saw interest rates trending down and renewed buyer interest with lower inventory levels, favoring Sellers. In 2025, inventory has increased which had led to a more balanced market as buyers have more options and less competition due to interest rate volatility.
Despite real estate fluctuations nationally over the past few years, the Arizona real estate market has remained steady and strong. As Arizona continues to attract new people and businesses to its beautiful deserts, mountains, cities, and forests it is not only a great place to live but also a great place to invest.
