3. What types of clients have you worked with?
While i focus mostly on working with families buy and sell, I do work with investors who occasionally come into play when someone inherits a home they have no need for.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
I recently helped a family that had just retired and wanted to move to Tennessee. We spent some time doing touch up paint, minor repairs and was able to sell their home for a record price in their neighborhood because we focused on the small details that make a big difference in buyers eyes.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
I have been self employed most of my life and was selling automotive tools when a mentor suggested I look at selling real estate. That was a life changer. It's been the best decision I could have made. Helping families make their biggest decisions and dreams come true makes it worth it all.

Over the years I have been trained in Short sales, probate sales, trust and estate sales, senior real estate specialist, first time buyer programs and much more.

We have known Dave for many years. He listed our home in West Garden Grove. He goes above any beyond for his clients. The buyer's agent also knew Dave and that helped our transaction go very smoothly.

Dave Smith did a great job helping us find our home 9 years ago, so when it was time to sell and move on we contacted him again. Dave handled a sticky situation (with our divorce) deftly and managed to sell our home and help both of us find new homes. Not only that, his experience and people skills helped maneuver all the parties into the same closing schedule which made the move and transition go very smoothly.

I've known Dave Smith for over 10 years and recently with his help was successful in selling family property. Dave was extremely knowledgeable about the local real estate market. He provided me with in depth information about the process, helped with the upgrades, was always on time and very professional. Dave always followed through and delivered. He got us a great price and seamlessly concluded the deal. I would recommend Dave Smith highly and without any hesitation!
