Danny Marr, REALTOR®

Danny Marr began his real estate career in 1977 after graduation from Indiana University with a BS in public affairs/urban studies, and where he was a four-year varsity football letterman under head coach Lee Corso. Danny’s first position after college was with the F.C. Tucker Company in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he quickly became one of the company’s top multi-million dollar producers in residential sales.

In 1984, Danny joined Phillip R. Duke & Associates—now Duke Realty Corporation—where he directed downtown Indianapolis office leasing, and was named “Salesman of the Year” for the company in 1986. In 1990, Danny formed his own company, Olympia Partners, Ltd., which grew to become the third largest commercial brokerage firm in Indianapolis. During this time, along with recruiting new partners and associates for the company, Danny represented multiple clients in office leasing and investment real estate sales. In addition, Danny co-founded a separate real estate development company, which eventually produced 49 projects from the ground up in seven states, with aggregate development value of over $200 million. Danny was named to Indianapolis Business Journal’s “Forty under 40” list in 1994 and “Who’s Who in Commercial Real Estate” in 1996. In 2001, Danny co-founded Veritas Realty, LLC, a retail shopping center leasing and property management firm, which grew its management portfolio to over 40 properties and 3.5 million square feet.

In 2003, Danny and his wife, Debbie, purchased their first home in Sarasota on St. Armands Key, and they became part-time residents. In 2006, they purchased their current residence on Lido Key, and in 2011, Danny made the decision to return to the early roots of his real estate career: residential sales. He and Debbie moved to their Lido Key home and Danny joined Michael Saunders & Company, where he specializes in waterfront and other luxury property sales on Longboat, Lido, St. Armands, Bird, Siesta and Casey keys.

Danny enjoys boating on Sarasota’s beautiful waterways with his friends and family, and other outdoor activities such as walking the beach and kayaking. He and his wife are active members of St. Mary, Star of the Sea Catholic Church, Longboat Key Club, and Legatus International.
