David was amazing through our whole process. He was quick to schedule showings, and has immense knowledge about all things real estate. He was honest with us about the houses we saw, but was never pushy for us put an offer in on something we didn't love. He was responsive at any time of day, and quickly worked with the selling agent to remedy problems before we took possession. We would recommend David to anyone looking to buy in central Ohio.

Excellent! Would highly recommend to friends and family. David was super easy to work with and very responsive to questions and concerns. He was very knowledgeable and was well prepared even at our first meeting. David listened and was able to give sound advice. He made this life transition for me and my family stress free and smooth.

First off let me begin by saying that buying or selling a house is a stressful experience in and of itself. So to have an experienced professional like David, who just so happens to be a hell of a human being, helping your family be in the best position to win, was service above and beyond his work description. His expertise was spot on and far exceeded that of realtors I dealt with in the past. His attention to every detail was unmatched. But the best thing about him is he just cared. His heart was evident and that made the whole process easier on us. Hes a damn good realtor but hes an even better human being. Hes an asset to the company he works for. They should be happy to have him. I'm sure hes underpaid, the great ones always areaEUR|.anyway, whenever I buy or sell a house in the future, the first person I'm calling is David. Its the best decision you can make.

David was excellent in providing advice and knowledge on the local housing market. He was very responsive for any inquiries and always made time available for any questions I had. The selling rocess was smooth and he handled negotiations with the buyer professionally as well as made sure to inform me of anything that popped up along the way in a timely manner. I would highly recommend David as a realtor and will be using him again in the future.
