ZillowVERIFIEDTorts (that's what I call him) was an amazing realtor. He was always there when I needed him and went above and beyond during the process. The best thing was that I sold my house in 3 days, over asking, and for 22k more than I bought it for just 2.5 years ago (which he also helped me buy)! Tortolini is a great realtor and you'd be lucky to have him on your team!

ZillowVERIFIED helped in buying a condo, he made very good suggestions on terms to place extra into the offer, to keep our options open. then there were nogotications with price time to close, inspection and repairs to be made. As we did not live in that city he meet the inspector for us. he made good suggestions in countering offers and seller demands. He was always trying to move things along and tried to get my questions answered as quickly as possible. Very on top of things in general.

ZillowVERIFIED Takes your needs/budget and solely focuses on those properties that match--he doesn't try to fit a square peg into a round hole. He was always punctual and flexible enough to show as many properties as our schedule allowed.

ZillowVERIFIED Loved working with David. Whenever I had a question he had an answer. He was easy to get a hold of and always responded quickly. After working with him for over 2 months I can honestly say I miss hearing from him. But I'm happy to have my new home.

ZillowVERIFIED Mr David Tortolini is amazing - we usually do not write any reviews but really we are so thankful for hard work ( even physical work ) he did to sell our Yorktown home in such a quick turnaround time that we just have to share it with other home sellers. Our town home was hard sale ( 15 other same town homes in our neighborhood for sale ) and all looking pretty much the same. We interviewed I think 5 realtors prior to Mr David - he was the only one that came with plan positive attitude and I was able to check with his prior clients to verify what he does. Communication was great - our home needed some repairs - he went above and beyond to verify we had some things with warranty ( and indeed we did had ) some of the repairs he did himself to save us money ( came dressed up with tools and fixed stuff!!!). When it comes to marketing our home was everywhere I did additionally posted it on military pages but every other venue he covered great. Most importantly house sold for what we have asked / agreed prior for ( so rare in our neighborhood ) and we did had multiple offers - people loved professional photos that where on website that Mr Davids photographer took. We had multiple offers and his communication and advise was on point!! So yes our military family would recommend Mr. David as realtor and wish we could bring him to our new duty station. Keens.

ZillowVERIFIED David Tortolini was able to sell our house (for more then we were expecting) within WEEKS!!! This was after we spent 2 years with 2 other agents... only regret is that we didn't pick him sooner. He then found our forever home and we couldn't be happier. He was patient with all of our questions and very knowledgeable about the area. We highly recommend David!!!

ZillowVERIFIED David came highly recommended to us from a friend and exceeded all of our expectations. As first time home buyers, we came into the process with very little knowledge about buying a home or what exactly we were looking for. David guided us seamlessly through the entire home buying process, answered each and every question, and made it incredibly easy. We are just so grateful for everything he did and incredibly happy with our new home!

ZillowVERIFIED David recently helped my husband and me buy our first house. We moved from a few states away, so we only had a couple of weekends that we could come up to look at homes. It could easily have been overwhelming, having to move several hundred miles with three kids 5 and under, and having to go house-hunting with the kids in tow, but David was AMAZING. He was great about letting us take as little or as much time as we wanted to explore potential houses, and he was understanding if we had to stop for a bit to let the kids burn some energy. He worked around our schedule, and he quickly got a great feel for what we were looking for in a home. I trusted his opinion completely if I called him with questions on a home I hadn't seen in person. Several aspects of the home-buying process could have been stressful given the distance of our move, but David went above and beyond and had the needs of our family in mind the whole time. Without hesitation, we would recommend David to anyone looking for a home.

ZillowVERIFIED Mr. Tortolini, or pasta man as I like to call him, is extremely friendly and a go-getter. He tries to figure out just what you're looking for in a future domicile and then assists just enough that you don't feel badgered by anything. I truly don't think I could recommend him enough if anyone was looking for a good realtor within this area!

ZillowVERIFIED When my wife and I decided we needed to move the only agent we considered was David. He had helped us a little over two years ago to sell our townhouse and to purchase what we thought was our ideal home in the country. He kept in touch even after the sale of our home and he once again excelled in helping us sell our house and make what we hope is the move to the home where we will retire. He worked hard to get our listing correct, hired a great photographer to take the pictures for the listing, and he even helped us find a contractor to repair a few items identified during the home inspection. Every step off the way he was there and he never tired from the many question my wife and I sent him during the process of selling our house and purchasing our new home. Ofter agents seem to forget their clients after the sale or purchase is completed, but David does stay in touch though a monthly newsletter he sends out. I would not hesitate to recommend David to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home. He will work hard to allow you to achieve your goal of selling and/or purchasing a house.

ZillowVERIFIED First time homebuyer! David is friendly and caring. He puts the customer first. After dealing with multiple (less than satisfactory) agents in the past, I highly recommend David to every buyer and seller in the market. His knowledge and expertise are second to none. He is professional and a true pleasure to work with!

ZillowVERIFIED David was my listing agent for the property at 4 Lair Circle in Hampton Virginia. We relied upon his expertise and experience in the area and followed his instructions when preparing the house. He told me one of the most important things is the staging and the photos on the listing. We did as he said and the pictures were great. We had ten showings in the first week and a solid offer in 8 days that we accepted. We got top dollar for our house and with David's help we got it fast. David is a hard working professional who IS an expert in real estate. He was very patient with my questions. He was always prompt with responses and he always responded in a timely fashion. He pre-taught me on what to expect and how to manage expectations. Here is the really cool thing about David's work ethic. We had to move out of state while we were under contract. Some things came up on house and David spent his own personal time taking care of it when he didn't have to. I cannot express how much I appreciated it. David is a funny guy as well. I feel like if he weren't my realtor he would be a blast to just hang out and shoot the breeze with. He really is a nice fella even when I was taxing him about my stubbornness to relinquish my beautiful refrigerator with the house. LOLBut seriously, you may find other realtors as good as David but you won't find one better. You can believe that. Thanks, David. You are "The Man"

ZillowVERIFIED We used David to buy our house and he was great, so when it came to selling our house we knew we had to use him again. We had only had our house for 3 years before we had to move because of my husband's military job, so he understood we needed to sell the house quickly and that we hadn't had much time to build equity. He set it at a price to make sure we wouldn't lose any money with the sale and was able to get a lot of traffic in the door. We had to move to the West Coast before the house was sold, but received an offer the same day we moved into our new house. David did everything for us with the sale, including setting up repairs, taking care of inspections, and making sure everything was ready to go since we couldn't be there in person. I would highly recommend him if you are buying or selling your house. We had great experiences with him on both ends.

ZillowVERIFIED We needed to sell our house quickly but did not want to lower the return on our investment for expediency. David helped us sell the house in about four weeks at a competitive price suitable for the market. His pricing attracted lots of interest and several offers. He provided advice on staging the house to make it attractive to buyers without overwhelming us with unnecessary work. His photographs were amazing and appeared on all the prominent online sites. He kept us fully informed as developments occurred and quickly responded to all of our questions. David did a wonderful job of making a stressful process as worry-free as possible.

ZillowVERIFIED As a first time homebuyer, David went above and beyond to make sure I understood the process. He was extremely quick to respond any time I had a question, big or small. He made sure that I thoroughly understood the details of a decision before moving forward. His expansive knowledge of the process as well as the local area made me feel confident that I was getting the best service possible! Not only was he an expert in this field, but he was personable and fun to work with, which was wonderful to have during the stress that naturally comes along with buying a home, especially for the first time!

ZillowVERIFIED Working with David was great, he really cares about his clients, and their interests. We wanted to find a realtor who was both knowledgeable and a good person, and David is certainly both. He looked out for us through our home search process from beginning to end, and was present with us for all of the important steps along the way. He offered wonderful insight and knowledge and was fun and easy to work with. If you want a genuine and good person to work with you, then I highly recommend hiring David.

ZillowVERIFIED David is an outstanding agent! Prior to hiring him, our home was listed with another agent for four months. During that time, we had very little interest. That agent told us our house would just not sell unless we added a second bathroom or drastically dropped the price. When David came on board, he suggested a few cosmetic changes to make the house more marketable, and those changes paid off! We had a full price offer in 38 days!! David was so helpful during the closing process and quickly responded to our questions and concerns. I highly recommend him, and there is no doubt we will be calling him again when we're ready to buy our next home.

ZillowVERIFIED David is amazing, I almost want to buy another house just because he was that great. He is very knowledgeable and very available. He always responded quickly and was available any time of day that we needed him. He definitely went above and beyond to get answers for us.He knows all of the little things that a buyer would never think of when looking for a home, even down to negotiating to keep the blinds in the home (which is great because you don't want to worry about things like that when moving in)He is very honest, he was honest about neighborhoods, things like that. I feel he genuinely wanted to make sure that we ended up in a home that we loved and in a great neighborhood. He is very personable. I would recommend him to anyone.

Review for Member: David Tortolini
ZillowVERIFIED Our experience with David Tortolini was indescribably positive. He helped us sell a home that we had owned for 8 years after having a poor rental experience at the property after moving out of state. Not only was he extremely responsive immediately, he also took the time to walk through the property with us to give us an idea of what to realistically repair, fix, paint, or replace. He was supportive and patient during the repair process, often checking in on progress and stopping by the house to give feedback and encouragement, which was extremely helpful and motivating! He helped us price the property fairly through the use of several comparable comps in the area with completed research on pricing vs. length of time on the market to help us make a decision on the ideal number. At this time, he also presented an in depth spreadsheet which accounted for realistic costs for inspections, repairs, closing costs, etc. which would prove to be very helpful later. Once the advised repairs were complete, he listed our property promptly with the assistance of a professional photographer. This extra service made our listing really pop and showings started occurring almost instantly. After these showings, he always followed up with the buyer's realtor to gain insight and feedback on the listing. This constant communication really helped us remain optimistic during this waiting period. An offer came in quickly and he helped us negotiate a very fair deal for both sides on the final details. A home inspection resulted in the unfortunate news of a list of repairs that included a new roof. However, Dave stuck with us every step of the way. He collected multiple quotes, worked very closely with the buyer's agent, and came up with excellent researched options that were suitable for all parties involved. We were able to come to a compromise that worked the best for us. We can't help but to think that if Dave had not been on our side, this situation may have broken the deal, which would have been devastating for us, both financially and mentally. As we approached the holidays and our closing date, we also received additional negative news regarding the appraiser invoking the "Tidewater" Initiative. He still didn't let us panic and completed his response in a timely manner for the appraiser. This included the completion of an extensive report, due within 48 hours, containing numerous comparable listings, additional school district information and any/all details he could possible present to hopefully encourage validation on our agreed upon price point. And it was worth his efforts, as our appraisal was completed with no additional information necessary. We closed a week ago! We can not convey the amount of relief we feel after selling this house and know, in all likelihood, that without David, it would not have happened so quickly or at our agreed upon terms and pricing. His level of communication and determination to work on our behalf was felt during our entire experience working with him. We would recommend him to any and all who may be experiencing a similar situation but also to anyone who would like to be fairly represented as a buyer or a seller. The realistic expectations he described to us in detail helped us feel prepared for the hurdles we encountered and optimistic personality kept all of our sights, on both sides of the table, focused on the end game. Both the sellers and the buyers definitely benefited from his superior service. 5 stars!

ZillowVERIFIED Made the mistake of picking another realtor and after 6 months of lack luster and unprofessional performance, I went with who should be your first choice if your selling a home in Newport News, VA area!! He fixed all the wrongs of the other realtor and priced my home correctly to get sold. Also not living in the VA area, David went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure my home stay "Show Ready". His professionalism and expertise in negotiating got me the most out of the offer. David's personal attention and understanding of our situation made this entire process smooth and complete. Thanks again David for your assistance.

ZillowVERIFIED When we first talked to David about selling our house he knew that we needed to get it off the market fairly quickly due to us moving out of the area. He was extremely knowledge about the market the house was in and had done extensive research on our home to help us have a great experience in selling our home. The house was under contract in less than 5 days with a great offer; my wife and I couldn't have been any happier with his service and having David as a great friend. David is not only a great Realtor, but also a great friend. He also helped us buy this home 3 1/2 years prior which we absolutely loved. Oh and his beard is glorious and should be a staple for all to see and admire.

The whole time he showed us homes he did it with a smile on his face. He answered our questions, listened to our needs/concerns, and put up with our pickyness. Looking for homes with David was like looking for homes with a friend not a realtor. I would recommend David to anyone looking to buy or sell, he will put your needs first and make sure you are satisfied in the end. Anyone who uses David is using the best and is very fourtunate to have him by their side.

ZillowVERIFIED David did a fantastic job with the sale of our condo in Yorktown! We met David initially to tell him our plan to sell, and he walked us through the process and made it very simple. He gave us some tips on staging and the pictures he took were spectacular. We had our condo sold with the exact price we were looking for in 6 days! With 3-4 units also for sale in our area, with some being listed for several months, David's expertise in presenting our home to buyers was in my opinion the main reason it sold so fast! I'd recommend David to anyone looking to sell their home!

ZillowVERIFIED David was able to succeed where others had failed -- he sold our house in a very short amount of time, for a fair price. He gave us great tips on preparing the house for sale, and had a professional photographer help show the best features of the home. Later he helped us navigate through a pretty extensive negotiation process with the buyer. He was always quick with an answer to any questions or concerns. I would recommend David, without any reservations, to anyone seeking a Realtor on the Peninsula.

Review for Member: David Tortolini
ZillowVERIFIED This man is a genius! Plain and simple. To start upon our first attempt at finding our new home, I merely pushed the "ask an agent" button on the right side of a listing we were interested in checking out. We didn't expect anyone to respond for a day or so, considering it was 10 o'clock at night but, lo and behold, an email popped up from David and so began a strenuous 2 year treasure hunt. He was super responsive, always eager to help in any way he could, and even after a devastating blow came from a credit report check he hung in there until we could get our ducks in a row. Another set back came when we hit a snag in the current rental lease. I felt SO bad for wasting David's time, but he insisted it wasn't a big deal and that his time was in no way wasted. We felt like jerks nonetheless. After "taking a break" for about a year, we finally got back in touch with David and jumped right back in to getting ready for Homebuying 101! He was very flexible and accomodating when it came to trying out round 2. Multiple listing walk-throughs and endless hours of paperwork later, our credit was on point, the rental lease was worked out and we were prepared to get serious. We finally did a showing at a cozy little duplex in a desired neighborhood of Newport News and we were in love. Plans were set in motion and David helped guide us through every step of the way: making sure we had everything we needed to meet with the mortgage loan officer, preparing us for the loads of paperwork to be done at closing, and even making a stressful process enjoyable with lighthearted humor. It was amazing to see how much knowledge David had about the fluctuating trends of the real estate market and we had no doubt in our minds that he was always looking out for OUR best interests in that regard. It's been a month since our closing and we still find ourselves reaching out to David to ask any wayward questions that, even though the answer is right in front of our faces, he's incredibly patient and informative about answering. If it wasn't for him, I honestly feel like I would be stuck in an overpriced house with no clue about what to do next as a first time homebuyer. We wouldn't recommend ANY other realtor for the job and consider ourselves EXTREMELY lucky to have had fate drop David into our inbox that day. Thanks David, we owe you big time!

Review for Member: David Tortolini
ZillowVERIFIED David is a very knowledgeable, and considerate realtor. Being a first time homebuyer I had a lot of questions about the home buying process. David was very easy to contact with questions, and he offered very prompt and professional answers. I was very apprehensive about buying a home; David made the whole process very painless. This is saying a lot considering my home buying story. To make a long story short David stuck by me through three contracts, and everything they entailed. Over months of searching and paper work, David was very up beat and encouraging. His knowledge of the area and attention to detail made an other wise frustrating process enjoyable. Over the course of many home visits David was always on time to view homes. David certainly did his homework before we viewed properties and was able to answer my barrage of questions. If you are look for a real estate agent who is prompt, knowledgeable, patient with a great sense of humor David is certainly a great fit for you.
