Client Reviews

David is very professional and great to work with.

He researched the market price and sold our house fast with a good price. He also followed up with all potential buyers. Great communication with us whenever we need him. Highly recommend!

Taking care with wise advice and care for my rental property!

- Hiro Isogawa

Fast and professional service.

Dave was always quick to follow up with any questions we had and always made time for our many viewing requests. Dave's knowhow in dealing with associations like LW was a welcome boon.

- Bruce D.

We got all information in advance.

So we could have enough time to prepare for brochure photo shoot, open house, home inspection, etc. Everything was going smooth.
