What kind of real estate does Daniel focus on?
Daniel has spent 15 years in real estate, and in Orlando he narrowed his work to one segment: vacation homes in resort communities around Kissimmee, Four Corners and Davenport. These are houses an owner uses for a few weeks a year and places in the short-term rental market the rest of the time, under the rules of each county and each resort.
He serves investors from Brazil who buy without living in Florida, so his process is built to run remotely from the first call to the keys. Contracts and disclosures are in English; the explanation can be in whichever of his three languages the buyer prefers. His full background is on the about page of his website.
This site is independent. It is not the official Aquamara or Pulte website. It is an agent following the launch and organizing, with sources, what has been made public about the project.

How can you verify his Florida license?
Every Florida real estate license is public in the DBPR license search, run by the state agency that regulates the profession. Search for license number 3501330. As of November 14, 2026, the record showed the license as active and affiliated with Premier Properties of Southwest Florida, LLC, which does business as Premier Sotheby's International Realty.
The same record shows whether any public complaints are on file. None were listed on November 14, 2026. DBPR itself notes that the list may not reflect every case, so treat it as one check among several.
Running this search on any agent you consider, not only Daniel, is a sensible first step before sharing financial details or signing anything.

How does Daniel work with Aquamara buyers?
Aquamara is in pre-launch: Pulte has not released pricing, floor plans, HOA fees or a sales start date. At this stage Daniel collects what public records already show, separates confirmed facts from speculation and alerts his list as soon as the builder publishes numbers.
Once sales open, the approach mirrors his other communities: an initial WhatsApp conversation to understand what the home is for, floor plans and the purchase agreement walked through clause by clause, help comparing lots, follow-up through each stage to closing, and referrals to independent professionals for the decisions an agent should not make, such as ownership structure, taxes and financing.
His office is at Premier Sotheby's International Realty, 7600 Dr. Phillips Blvd. #32, Orlando, FL 32819. You can reach him on WhatsApp at +1 (954) 305-3843 or at daniel@ddourado.com, as listed on his contact page.
Aquamara
Where Aquamara fits
Aquamara is a Pulte vacation-home resort in Davenport, squarely inside the market Daniel already works: homes bought by out-of-area owners to use on vacation and rent short-term. If you are comparing it with other resorts nearby, the Aquamara vs. Windsor Cay guide lays out what can already be compared.
To get pricing and floor plans as soon as they are released, join the Aquamara VIP list. Daniel confirms each sign-up on WhatsApp.
