"Working with Dave was a great experience! We were first time buyers, and he treated us with respect, kindness and care. We were never left feeling like we didn’t understand something. If we were ever confused about something, he would patiently explain all that we needed to know. We learned so much from him through the process! He was open and honest and optimistic about all of it! We really appreciated that!"
