Posted on Patrice BoudreauTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I were considering a 2004 Doral powerboat, and through the recommendation of our broker, hired Daniel to do a survey. He was methodical, friendly, professional and efficient. Throughout the survey he kept me informed of any findings and explained the nature of the issue and remained factual. In the end, he left me feeling informed and extremely confident that I had a comprehensive understanding of the boat's condition. I highly recommend Daniel.Posted on Chris PowerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daniel has performed many surveys for our clients at Atlantic Yacht Sales. He is very accommodating and makes the extra effort to ensure the buyer is educated based on his findings on the vessel they are looking to purchase. Highly recommend!Posted on John PaceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daniel was fantastic. Great communications and easy to talk to. Performed the survey within my time frame. Definitely Fully recommend 👍Posted on M E (Martin)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daniel was referred to me by another surveyor who was unavailable and he was amazing! The boat I was interested in had a four year old survey and Daniel's was superior throughout. He also gave me tons of time with his opinion answering questions and being of incredible value. I bought the boat that he surveyed heavily based on his recommendations for repairs that went into the negotiations. Great experience!!Posted on Dean McNeillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daniel recently performed an insurance survey on my sailboat. Daniel was prompt, thorough, courteous and methodical. He took the time to carefully explain his findings, made recommendations on timelines for any potential future needs, explained how to determine when the maintenance might be required and even gave thoughts on how to proceed. His written report was detailed, organized and easy to understand. I would highly recommend Daniel Genier for any pre-purchase, insurance or valuation surveys needed.Posted on Patrick StaryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
