FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make. My advice is to get preapproved early so you know your true budget and can move quickly in a competitive market. Work with a local agent who truly understands your area, from school districts and commute routes to luxury and family friendly neighborhoods. Do not just look for a house, look for a home that fits your lifestyle and long term goals. I guide my buyers every step of the way to make sure they are not just purchasing property, but building wealth.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
First impressions matter, both online and in person. Today’s buyers shop with their eyes, so professional photography, staging, and strategic pricing are essential. I help my clients highlight their home’s best features to attract qualified, high value buyers. My marketing plan includes targeted online exposure, social media campaigns, and neighborhood outreach designed to reach both middle class families upgrading and upper class professionals relocating. The goal is to maximize your sale price in the shortest possible time.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
I have worked with a wide range of clients including first time homebuyers, growing families, executives, and investors looking for high end or income generating properties. Whether it is helping a couple move up into their dream home or guiding a relocation client through a cross country move, I take pride in tailoring the process to each client’s needs and financial goals.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
One of the most memorable and rewarding transactions of my career was representing the sale of the most expensive home ever sold in Clark County, Washington, which closed at $13.5 million. This was more than a listing; it was the execution of a carefully crafted luxury business strategy designed to position the property on a global stage.
We developed a comprehensive business plan that showcased the home’s exceptional design, architecture, and lifestyle appeal to high net worth clients around the world. Our marketing campaign included international digital exposure, elite networking, and private events that attracted more than 20 private tours from qualified buyers with net worths exceeding $100 million.
In addition to our global outreach, we gained extensive media attention, with the home featured on major outlets including Fox and CBS, significantly increasing visibility and prestige. This transaction was a masterclass in strategic luxury marketing, a true reflection of how vision, creativity, and precision can achieve record breaking results.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
I've always loved real estate. When I had my retail stores, I was a big runner. I would run by signs (pull flyers - yes, that's how old I am. lol) and look at the photos and prices of homes. I'm an advocate for following your passions and just as passionate as I was about running, I am equally passionate about real estate.
Since selling my retail chain, I transitioned into real estate to combine my people first mindset with my business and negotiation skills. Since then, I have dedicated my career to helping families and professionals find homes that fit their lifestyle and investment goals.
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
Yes, I continuously invest in advanced training to serve my clients at the highest level. I have completed specialized courses in luxury home marketing, negotiation strategy, and digital real estate marketing, allowing me to combine market analytics with modern marketing techniques. This ensures my listings stand out online and my buyers have a competitive advantage in any market.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Dave for about ten months on a new home purchase in Camas. Dave was an invaluable resource to us since we were located out of state for a majority of time that the home was being constructed. In particular, we were impressed with Dave's professionalism, local market knowledge, responsiveness to our questions, dilligence in tracking the construction of our home, expertise in negotiating a better price on new home construction, and positive attitude throughout the process. Initially, we did not think we needed any agent because we were purchasing new construction, however, as we learned throughout the process, and agent can be an invaluable resource in negotiating with the home builder and tracking construction of the home to make sure that everything is completed per plan. I would not hesitate to recommend Dave Sobolik to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in the greater Vancouver or Portland area.

I had an outstanding experience working with Dave Sobolik and The Homevisor Real Estate Group with Knipe Realty. Daves professionalism, preparation, and attention to detail were incredible. He guided me through preparing my home, brought in amazing luxury photography and marketing, and sold my home in just five days with a strong cash offer at a near record price per square foot. He also negotiated an extended closing that made my transition to my new home seamless. Beyond selling, he was with me every step of the way in finding and securing my new home here in Camas, Washington. If you are buying or selling, especially in the luxury home market in Camas, I highly recommend Dave and his team. Their dedication and level of service are unmatched! aEUR" Cheri Vonne Emery

There aren't enough words to describe how helpful Dave was through the entire process, from start to close! He was SO fast and responsive, honest, and gave the best advice. He went so far above and beyond for us in every way and we are so grateful. Even when we had a long waiting period during our process, he still checked in weekly! Once we were under contract, he made every step so smooth and explained things in such a reassuring way, we trust him entirely and strongly recommend him!

We originally met Dave by chance as we were looking to move to the area from out of town. We communicated what we were looking for in a home and Dave automatically went into overdrive to not only show us homes for sale but to also educate us on the best part of town to live based upon our family needs. I cant speak highly enough of Dave as he not only cleared out his calendar to show us homes to fit our time frame but how helpful he and his whole team were in the whole closing process. Dave and his team are amazing in not only their knowledge but also and more importantly, their professionalism. The thing that sets Dave and his team apart from other real estate agents is that they really listen to what you are looking for and try to find something that fits all your needs as opposed to just getting any transaction done as most real estate agents do. This relationship based approach to a transaction is something that is not readily available in the market and I strongly recommend Dave Sobolik and his team to anyone whos in the market whether they are selling or buying a home.

Dave made it so seamless with the whole process of selling my home, he always go above and beyond to make sure that it is stress free for me. As I wasn't in town anymore when my house was put on the market, it was such a huge help to have him take care of everything for me.

I met David at an Open House on our street over a year ago. I said I was not interested in listing our home at that time but I would like an idea of the value of our home. He ran comps on homes in the area and reviewed them with me. When we were ready to list I told him that I would like to see his marketing plan. He and his realtor partner presented what we felt was a excellent plan. They contacted many realtors and created interest in the uniqueness of our home. The house was listed on a Friday and by Monday we had seven offers. Six of those offers were above asking price. David is knowledgeable, helpful, available and a good communicator. He was eager to help with any issues that came up. We were very pleased with how he worked with us to get top dollar for our property.
