Danberry Realtors and Go Giver Real Estate Join Forces to serve Defiance Community
Local brokerage will retain its familiar team and community presence while gaining expanded resources and support through Danberry
Toledo, Ohio – Sept. 8, 2026 – Danberry Realtors announced today that it is entering the Defiance market for the first time through a merger with Go Giver Real Estate, bringing together two companies with a shared commitment to serving clients, supporting agents and investing in the communities they call home.
Go Giver Real Estate, founded in 2021 by Broker and Owner Cari Kost, has built a strong presence in the Defiance community around its core values of caring, guiding, serving and giving. Under the merger, clients will continue working with the local agents and familiar faces they know, while the brokerage gains access to a wide range of resources, technology, marketing, training and operational support of Danberry Realtors.
“This is an exciting opportunity for Go Giver Real Estate and, most importantly, for the clients and community we serve,” said Cari Kost, Broker and Owner of Go Giver Real Estate. “Our commitment to Defiance isn’t changing. We’re gaining additional resources and support that will allow us to serve our clients even better while continuing to do business with the people and team they know and trust.”
The coming together of the two companies expands Danberry’s footprint into the Defiance market and reflects the broader strategy of partnering with established independent brokerages that share Danberry’s commitment to local relationships and exceptional client service.
“Go Giver has built something special in Defiance through its focus on relationships and service,” said Maggie Fawcett, President at Danberry Realtors. “We’re excited to support Cari and her team with the resources and infrastructure of Danberry while allowing them to continue doing what they do best, which is serving the community with the personal relationships that have made Go Giver successful.”
Through the merger, Go Giver agents will have access to Danberry’s expanded leadership, training, marketing and technology resources, as well as the broader network and expertise of one of the area’s leading independent real estate companies. The additional support is designed to give local agents more tools to grow their businesses and provide an even higher level of service to buyers and sellers throughout Defiance and the surrounding communities.
For local clients, the transition is designed to feel familiar. The Go Giver team will continue serving buyers and sellers in the Defiance area, maintaining the local knowledge, relationships and personalized approach that have been central to the brokerage since its founding.
The merger also represents another step in Danberry’s continued growth throughout Ohio and Southeast Michigan. With 390 agents across nine offices, Danberry continues to invest in its people, expand its regional reach and create opportunities for agents and clients through partnerships with established local brokerages.
