Great experience

Dave was knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process of bidding for the house, signing the contract, completing the inspections and assisting with the closing. He made our buying process much smoother than it would have been if we didn’t have his guidance.

Dave is the BEST!

Making your first home purchase can be scary, Dave made sure I knew exactly what was happening and what to expect, alleviating all my fears. Dave advocated for me and found me the perfect starter home! I’m beyond grateful for him and his team. He had my back the entire time and was extremely knowledgeable about the entire process. I will buy all future properties with him and his team.

The best realtor…ever!

It was a pleasure to work with Dave on the sale of my mother’s condo. He was a joy to work with, very responsive, and extremely knowledgeable. I particularly appreciated the videos. He did at important stages in the process, walking me through with clear instructions. When there was an issue that needed to be addressed with the condo association, who resolved it before I even knew that there was a potential problem. I highly recommend Dave. He is the best!

The Best of the Best

We'd been looking for a water-side home in Florida for a long time. When connected with Dave, he made sure to understand what we really wanted. He gave us the true low down on properties (location, valuation, build, etc) and was truly our advocate. When we finally found a house, we needed to move quickly and Dave made himself available over the weekend to get our offer in ASAP. We hadn't purchased a home in 18 years and never in Florida. Dave talked us through each step and made the process as painless as possible. In summary, Dave is very knowledgeable, super accessible, and really takes the time to provide the best home buying experience. We'd recommend him wholeheartedly!!
