    Ashleigh and I would like to thank you for your help and extreme professionalism in helping us to secure a property. You were incredibly dedicated and approachable at any time of day or night and always immediately responsive to texts and emails. You guided us through what can be a daunting process but most importantly really took the time to understand what we were looking for as evidenced by the fact we were happy to look at and purchase a high percentage of the properties your presented to us. Your guidance as to value and your understanding of the market helped us narrow that down and made the process of identifying and purchasing the final property very painless. Finally, the dedication in seeing the sales and settlement process through was incredibly helpful. I look forward to doing it again in the not too distant future.

    David is what I’d always hoped a buyers agent would be. He is data driven, very understanding of personal needs (family types, income situation), and patient – it always felt like he was with us for the journey, rather than pushing us to buy quickly. As overseas buyers, we loved his accessibility via whatsapp and happiness to chat through our changing scenarios on a weekly basis. Ultimately, however, it was his persistence to the task which made the difference. He literally visited every property with our criteria over a period of 11 months, many off market and immediately provided pricing and suitability advice so that we were always up to speed. It was as close as possible to us being on the ground. Then when it came time to buy he mobilised, had a plan and made an offer which effectively closed off other buyers. Since the transaction he has supported us with settlement, design discussions and any other related admin. People talk about building a great team and finding a ‘trusted advisor’. That’s what you get with David.

    As our buyer’s agent, David knew how to negotiate a very convoluted and protracted process, completely foreign to us (and we’re hardly first home buyers), before managing to secure our dream home against some very fierce competition. We’ve never used a buyer’s agent before; now we can’t imagine ever buying without one. And our choice would be David again, without hesitation.

    I cannot speak highly enough of the service David provides. He is an exceptional agent, with phenomenal knowledge. He is calm and conscientious in his approach and manner with excellent communication skills. I truly believe he would never settle for anything less than the right property, which makes him unique as he treats it as a personal project and if it’s not good enough for him than it’s not good enough for his client. He has a unique and honest approach and I have found him to be a breath of fresh air and someone I truly trust.
