ZillowVERIFIEDDave sold 2 properties for a great friend of mine and he highly recommended Dave. When I called him he always returned calls quickly and the communication was great. If I ever buy or sell another property he'd be the only one I would call. He is a true professional !!! Thank you Dave.

ZillowVERIFIEDDave Lombardo is an excellent real estate agent. He willingly shares his expansive knowledge of the local area and he constantly made himself available to answer questions or view houses. However, what really sets him apart from other agents is his attention to detail and understanding of real estate law. Dave will make sure that you meet all deadlines and that the deal goes through. I would highly recommend him and I plan on using him again when it is time to sell or buy my next home.

ZillowVERIFIEDDave was a pleasure to work with. Quite insightful and committed to the process. We really felt like he was acting in our best interests rather than maximizing his commission. His encouragement to be more aggressive in our negotiations saved us significant money. He's also pleasant, engaging and a great source of local knowledge--including all the best local restaurants! We would recommend him to anyone buying or selling a house in the area.

ZillowVERIFIEDDave Lombardo helped us buying a house in Fishtown Philadelphia. Dave is an agent with very comprehensive local knowledge and passion for his work. He was very responsive and moved quickly. He made the entire house purchase process simple and easy for us. There are real estate agents and there are real estate professionals. Dave is certainly a real estate professional!

Review for Member: Dave Lombardo
ZillowVERIFIEDMy significant other and I decided we wanted to purchase a home and become vested in our beloved Philadelphia. As many do, we began the typical search of homes on various real estate sites to gain a general understanding of the type of home we each were looking for; this led us to a home we were interested in and the listing agent was Dave Lombardo.We called Dave and arranged a time to meet. Though that particular home was sold, our trip wasn't in vain. We automatically "clicked" with Dave. His impeccable knowledge of the Philadelphia area, friendly next-to-none personality, and pure interest and determination to get us a home that was meant for us, was (and I believe he is like this with all of his clients as we have witnessed numerous "run-ins" and phone conversations with others), precisely what we wanted and needed to during this life milestone. Dave treats you like family and becomes a life-long friend. He will listen and take into great consideration your needs and wants, but at the same time, he isn't afraid to be honest with you; he tells you "how it is". He is not afraid to fight for you and do everything in his absolute power to get you the home you want; which he did for us and for that we are eternally grateful.Dave is honest and to the point. If what you want isn't necessarily a wise choice, he will tell you why he thinks you should go with an alternative. I have never met anyone that cares so deeply about someone else's desires and financial situation so selflessly. And yes - selflessly. Yes he is a realtor and yes he makes a commission, but the commission he made on our measly (financially - not physically speaking) house was peanuts compared to other homes realtors sell (and those that I am certain Dave has sold) and he fought just as hard for us. I have ZERO doubt that he tries, strives, fights, cares, or anything of the sort, differently for any one of his clients; regardless of his incentive - financially or otherwise, you become a family friend to Dave Lombardo and he takes your choice of choosing him as your realtor very seriously and it is extremely evident. To say you won't be disappointed with Dave Lombardo is a pure understatement. He WILL become your new family friend as he has become ours! Shortly after moving into our brand new beautiful home, we had a house warming party which Dave attended. We plan on Dave coming to all future parties! Buying your next home is a life milestone that should be enjoyable. Inevitably it will be stressful; it is a large purchase and not everything goes smoothly, but Dave will make it as painless as humanly possible, as fun as possible, and will make sure, in the end, you have created fabulous memories during your home buying experience to last a lifetime while you create new memories in the house you chose and he will fight for you each and every step of the way!!!

ZillowVERIFIEDDave has sold two of my properties to date and has been an invaluable source of knowledge and insight into the market. Despite not even having the listing of my second property, he still worked just as hard to sell it himself. I can't recommend him highly enough!

ZillowVERIFIEDDave is your guy. From go he was there for us. Dave is a very well rounded realtor, he made the prosses of selling a home a walk in the park. I felt very confident that Dave was the right guy for the job. Anytime something needed to be done he handled the task. I am very happy with my experience I have had with his help. I highly recamend his professional skills.

ZillowVERIFIEDDave was an absolute pleasure to work with. My search took much longer than anyone anticipated, but he was always there to keep me motivated and to provide me with sound advice. He never pressured me to make a high offer or to put out a dollar amount that I was uncomfortable with. He was always available to answer any and all questions I had, and from our first conversations, I felt very comfortable. From beginning to end, he kept my interests as his top priority, and I have already recommended him to a few friends who are considering buying property in the city. Dave has a down-to-earth and straight talking personality. He gives you all of the info without opinion and allows you to process it before making suggestions (if you ask for them). His vast knowledge of the area and market only helped when I switched to use him as my agent! He educated me on many different programs and types of home loans for my potential use. We frequently talked even when we weren't planning to look at properties. As a first-time home buyer, Dave really helped me throughout the entire process, and I felt very prepared and comfortable as my settlement date approached. I cannot speak more highly of Dave and will gladly recommend him for a first time home buyer, the experienced buyer, and anyone in between!

ZillowVERIFIEDHad a great experience with Dave. He's very easy to chat with and clearly knows his profession's ins and outs. Dave is also a very good person who will look after his client's best interest. We will definitely use him when we decide to sell our condo in the future.

ZillowVERIFIEDDave was always quick to answer my multitude of questions in a professional manner. He made selling our house and buying our "forever home" the best experience ever! Selling and buying a home can be quite nerve wracking, but with Dave as our realtor, it was truely an easy process! Dave understood just what type of home we were looking to buy, how much we wanted to spend and where we wanted to purchase. He kept us in range and in the area we wanted to stay! Dave was never pushy about trying to sell us a home we weren't interested in. Dave is very knowledgeable about all of the areas in South Philly which is a plus when you are new to this area and not sure which area you want to settle into. Dave has a knack for understanding your needs and wants and can find just the perfect home for you and your family (whatever the size of your family) He is great as a realtor and quickly became our friend. He helped us find our "forever home" within 4 days! Thanks Dave! We love you!

ZillowVERIFIEDI was a first time home buyer and had done research of my own about the Philadelphia home market but any question I had Dave could answer. He was very helpful and informative about what I was going to encounter through the whole prosses of purchasing a home and is really great at what he does. A close friend of mine who had success working with Dave referred him to me and I would do the same.

ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Dave to sell our house was truly a pleasure! He was extremely knowledgeable in our local south philly real estate market and aggressive with his methods to try to get our house sold. Ultimately we were in a tough situation and pursued a shortsale which Dave was also extremely knowledgeable about. I would consider Dave an expert in shortsales and everything worked out great for us because of him. Highly Highly recommend Dave for your sale or home purchase.

ZillowVERIFIEDDave is a rare advisor in a profession populated with too many agents who either don't have the experience to be effective or are too seemingly busy to devote their attention to your needs.I wholeheartedly recommend Dave and Al Perry for anything related to Philadelphia real estate. Their combined local knowledge, depth of experience and commitment to responsiveness speak volumes.

ZillowVERIFIEDAs the other reviews have stated, Dave is a real pro and a great guy. We were first-time home-buyers and spoke to a number of other agents before choosing Dave. His personality, knowledge, and ability to explain even the most complex real estate concepts set him above the rest. His understanding of the market and neighborhood were an immeasurable help. He was patient with our changing requests and we never felt any pressure from him. Dave truly cares that youre happy and get the house you want. Overall, we wouldnt have found the house we bought without him. Ive already recommended him to friends and family and will continue to do so.

ZillowVERIFIEDI recommend Dave Lombardo as a highly educated and skilled realtor as I recently sold my home thanks to his efforts. He spent over two hours with me during our initial meeting to understand my needs as a seller, share comps of properties recently sold in the area and determine the best sale price for my home. Dave knows Philadelphia extremely well and was accessible throughout the sales process. My home garnered interest from prospective buyers immediately after posting my listing. I recommend Dave to anyone looking to sell their home quickly.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were first time home buyers, and Dave was was extremely knowledgable and helpful throughout the entire home buying process. Even when we hit a bump along the way, we were always able to rely on Dave to help us come up with a solution to keep the deal moving forward. He grew up in the neighborhood and he still lives a few blocks away, so now he's our agent and a neighbor. I would recommend his services to anyone buying a home in the Philadelphia area.

ZillowVERIFIEDDave Lombardo represented my wife and me in the purchase of a home in the Marconi section of South Philadelphia. The transaction became very difficult and if it weren't for Dave's expertise and abilities we would have lost the house. Dave went above and beyond our expectations and we feel very confident recommending him to anyone looking for a home in Philadelphia. In preparing to purchase a home in South Philadelphia we talked with several agents and Dave was really far beyond his competitors with regard to knowledge of the market.

Review for Member: Dave Lombardo
ZillowVERIFIEDWhat can I say? Dave's great, and this review is long overdue.I had been living and renting in Philadelphia for about 6 years when I started my search to purchase a home. I emailed a handful of realtors to see if anybody had any advice on where and how to begin, and I noted that I probably wouldn't be looking to buy until Summer 2009 (this began Fall 2008). Most agents wished me well and asked that I be in contact as the time drew near. Not Dave. Dave called me right away and asked what I was interested in seeing. We spent the next 8 months looking at shells, "handyman delights," older homes, renovated homes, and new construction all over Center City and South Philly. We looked at stuff below, in, and above my intended price; considered various scenarios; and thought about relevant trends. He'd find comps, stats, printouts, inside scoops, and whatever information I sought on any home I saw. I was looking online, asking friends, and taking runs and walks throughout the city looking for sale signs. I really covered a lot of ground, and Dave was always ready to provide more info, meet up, or view a property.When it came to builders, inspectors, neighborhood leaders, other realtors, banks, and brokers, Dave always seemed to know helpful and honest people. He even knew enough about construction and handy work that he gave some pretty good advice off-the-cuff and typically backed it up with a professional opinion. He was well versed in the laws and regulations that governed the market, the neighborhoods, the construction, and the sales. He assisted with the mortgage process and the tax abatement (which became quite a headache).In the end, we were able to work out an incredible deal with a mortgage broker that Dave recommended, insurance agent that Dave recommended, and a builder with whom Dave had done prior business. I got a house that I never though I could afford in a great neighborhood, and Dave guided me through the whole process. It may have been naive to put so much faith in a guy I didn't know too well, leaning upon his knowledge and his contacts, but 3 years later, I have no regrets. People (friends as well as other realtors, banks, and brokers) marvel at the house and the deal that we worked out. In addition, Dave and I remain in contact, and I wish him the best.Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Dave, and I'm happy to vouch for him.

ZillowVERIFIEDAfter a bad rental experience we finally decided to sell our old family home. Dave honestly and expertly helped us list and sell the home in a very short period of time. We anticipated the worst and because of Dave we think it worked out in the best possible way. Dave works,lives and understands South Philadelphia. If you are a seller you should contact Dave Lombardo.

ZillowVERIFIEDDave has been instrumental in the successful marketing of more than a dozen properties I have listed with him as a seller, including the completed sales of 5 houses under the City's Homeownership Rehabilitation Program as well as another 5 houses under the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, with more to come. Dave is adept at explaining the intricacies of both programs to buyers and buyers agents and has gone above and beyond my expectations by proactively coordinating with all parties involved in the settlement process, including buyers' lenders and housing counseling agencies. He has been successful in finding buyers for properties where other agents have struggled.As a buyer and investor I have also been greatly aided by Dave's expertise and local knowledge. He has brought a number of purchase opportunities to my attention and his advice on the marketability of areas even on a block by block basis has been invaluable.

ZillowVERIFIEDDave is an affable agent who was always professional and respectful towards me. It took me over a year to finally find the perfect house and he remained diligent in the search with me. In fact, without his help I would have never discovered the area of Philadelphia I ended up buying in. Now, I can't imagine living anywhere else! I would highly recommend Dave to any of my friends and family.

ZillowVERIFIEDDave Lombardo is super knowledgeable of the Phila. area, and along with his professional attitude, & process skills, was a major reason I was able to sell my house without a lot of problems or stress. This was particularly important to me as I reside in Arizona and was selling the house in Philly and depended on Dave's expertise and honesty. Dave was very responsive and very easy to work with, and I certainly highly recommend him.
