Testimonials

My experience in selling my home and doing a short sale was probably not unique when it came to dealing with the bank & FHA.  However, I was very lucky to have Dave and Sam on my side.  From the start, Dave provided honest advice and explained the entire process to me.  He answered my questions and responded promptly.  When Sam got involved and worked to get all the necessary paperwork, not only only did Sam pressure the bank to approve the sale, but she served as the voice for my side.  She dealt with my ex-husband, fielded bank inquiries, and answered any questions or concerns I had.  I was treated by both Dave and Sam with the utmost respect and I never felt out of the loop on anything.  They are a real life dynamic duo who shouldered the majority of the house selling stress and short sale for me.  I will forever be grateful to have had these two patient, knowledgeable, thorough and and all-around great individuals help sell my house.  I will recommend them to anyone I know who will be looking to buy or sell a home.  I couldn’t have done it without them!

Dave was professional and competent while being friendly and helpful at every stage of our selling process.  He came to our first meeting with a complete marketing plan and followed through to settlement keeping us informed of every step.  Being familiar with home building and renovating, Dave was ready to suggest contractor help when we needed it. He responded quickly to all of our phone calls and email messages.  Selling our home was a smooth experience and we enthusiastically recommend Dave to anyone needing real estate assistance.  Thanks for all your help!

“My wife and I bought a house in the city of Newark with Dave, and it was a pleasure working with him and his team. He was always available for advice, and he has lots of area connections and can give you advice on everything mortgages to contractors. Highly recommended!

Initially we questioned ourselves, why hire and pay a real estate agent to sell a house I knew would show well.  Well, deciding to do so, and specifically choosing you Dave, was one of the best decisions we ever made.  We did not appreciate the many diverse responsibilities and activities that you would handle in getting our house on the market and closing the sale.  We could not have asked for all these functions to be performed in a more knowledgeable, timely, and efficient manner.

Your knowledge and understanding of the overall real estate market, and your ability to present and discuss it in a concise and easily understandable manner is truly outstanding.

Barbara and I sincerely appreciate how you kept us updated on a day-to-day basis, how you were always available if we had a question, and how you immediately followed up on anything needing your attention.

In addition to your outstanding professional acumen, we thoroughly enjoyed working with you as a person.  Your friendly and easy to talk to personality made the whole process enjoyable for both of us, and we sincerely thank you for that.

Barbara and I would definitely recommend you to others, and in fact we already have.

Thanks again for everything, and feel free to share our comments with anyone if you so choose.

I am very happy with my purchase! Dave and Sam kept me updated and informed of new listings.  They were aware of the desired area and home features that were appealing to me.  Their tireless search and recommendations led me to my “home.” There was zero transition phase due to my comfort level and location.  I have found Sam & Dave gave me great advice and guidance throughout the process.  They have integrity and are truthful:  that adds to the many accolades.

Dave and Sam were wonderful to work with. We were way upside down in our house and had to move out of the area for our jobs. We were at a loss of how to turn a frustrating process around. We wanted to give our house a good owner and for us to move on in life. Dave and Sam did that for us. They really went through all the details for the complicated sale and kept us at ease during an emotional transaction. They also found the easiest way to work with us and our busy schedules which made the process so much easier to handle. I would recommend anyone to Dave and Sam whether it be a first time home, a family home you have owned for years or a quick flip – they’ll take the time to understand your needs and will help you achieve your end goal. 

Thanks again we appreciate all your help!

When I bought my first home in 2007 it was a negative experience.  I cried on settlement day due to regret and sadness.

When I recently bought this home in Llangollen Estates, my experience was the total opposite.  Dave listened to my story, my situation, and my needs.

I explained that I needed a home for my younger brother and his 2 small children.  I asked him to search in the Colonial School District so my nephew would not have to change schools.

I have no computer or computer skills so therefore Dave had to call me or meet in me in person – which he did without complaint.  As a matter of fact, he was very accommodating.

Dave walked me through each process and stayed by my side at inspections and walk throughs.  He met my brother and his children and included them in the process.  It was obvious that Dave was a father himself.

His wife Sam called me with helpful information regarding furniture and local services.  She looked up phone numbers and addresses for me and did so very kindly.

Dave and Sam made me feel and believe that they were there for me and that I had a friend in them.  I feel the same.

On a business level, this was a sale and purchase of a house.  But to me it was a chance and opportunity for a single dad of 2 small children to have his first home.  A yard for the children to play in and bedrooms for them to sleep in.  It’s my hope and prayer that this home on Llangollen will hold lots of positive and loving memories for my family.

And at this closing – I cried too – but from a place of hope and joy.

From a grateful heart,

Donna

We cannot thank you enough for helping us to get our house ready to sell and then selling it so quickly!  It was so wonderful having someone we trusted completely who was able to walk us through the process.  You answered our many questions, put us in touch with the right people for our upgrades and repairs, and made everything go smoothly!  We will miss you both so much!!  If you are ever out this way, of course you are all welcome to stay with us.

Thanks again!!

I wanted to let the two of you know that your hard work is just so much appreciated on the sale of my home in Kenton. I have spoken to so many people about you. Besides it being such an emotional time for me, you made it so easy for me. I couldn’t have asked for nicer people to help me through this process with no worries. I will recommend you to anyone. Thank you so much again.

There is no way (Read: literally ZERO possibility) I could have gotten my short sale done without Sam on my team! Her services were invaluable, as the bank I dealt with requested not only massive amounts of paperwork but they did so frequently and I, like most people, do not always have the time (or patience) during the day to address such requests. Sam, on the other hand, was right on it – at times, even completing the blanks for me so I could simply sign, date, and get on with my life. We kept in frequent contact via text, phone and email. She answered 95% of the time and in the rare instances she did not, she always called back promptly. When the bank dragged its feet, Sam escalated things, at one point even pushing for a new representative when she felt my file was being mismanaged. Selling a house is stressful enough and I am sure that had I had to handle the nonstop back and forth with the bank, I would have given up out of pure frustration. Sam, however, was always there to “talk me off the cliff” as it were, and in the end, she was right- I was able to successfully complete my short sale and couldn’t be more grateful! I will definitely be referring your group to my friends and family if they should ever find themselves in a similar situation! Thanks again for everything!!!
