My husband and I saw a house on Zillow and knew right away that it was our forever home. However, the house is quite a bit out of our reach and has also been on the market for more than two weeks. Chances are that offers have already been made and we would not be able to win the bidding war. So we wrote to our previous real estate agent whom we love but who has since changed career. She said that we would have the best chance to pull this off if we had David Kelsey represent us. So we contacted and met with David and the next morning, we visited the home. This is how fast David operates. David engaged and communicated with the seller's agent well to make our interest known without being desperate. He also helped us understand the loan process answered questions and gave advice on things that were not part of his job. For example, when we were unable to provide the bank with certain docum…

This is how fast David operates. David engaged and communicated with the seller's agent well to make our interest known without being desperate. He also helped us understand the loan process answered questions and gave advice on things that were not part of his job. For example, when we were unable to provide the bank with certain documents, he advised us with alternatives, which eventually got approved. Later we learned that he started in the business as an underwriter. After our loan application was approved, we got distracted by another house that came onto the market at a similar price. We toured the house and immediately wanted to see our dream house again for direct comparison. I called David in front of the house on a Sunday night asking whether we could see the house again. He showed up within 10 minutes and let us in. He walked us through the comparisons which solidified our decision. Because of how much we love the house, we were willing to offer the asking price if not more. However, David advised us to observe the market and we eventually won the bid at significantly below the asking price. The whole time we were working with him, I felt like we were his only clients, even though I know how busy he is. I would recommend David to anyone, especially people who think they want to achieve the unthinkable.
We will be forever grateful for the advice and support that we received from you. Jan and I both have our real estate licenses, so we were fairly sure and specific about what we needed in an agent. We met many, many agents, roaming open houses to see which realtors might be a good fit for us. From those, we finally settled on about five that we wanted to interview close up and personal. Three made it to the second round of “finals” and, of course, you “got the part.” We chose you for many reasons, but chief among them was your business plan your approach was structured and disciplined and had the key elements we felt we needed. Among those elements were strong quality branding in the area, and a thorough knowledge of and use of publicity and advertising, and a willingness to collaborate with us on strategy. We felt certain things had to happen to get our house sold and you made them happ…

We felt certain things had to happen to get our house sold and you made them happen. Speaking as a photographer and graphics artist myself, I say without reservation: your photographer and your ad graphics were exceptional. The process was excellent. Your CMA was by far the most insightful and reasoned of the four or five we saw you overlooked nothing in your approach. Your price was pitch-perfect. You met our goals regarding the number of agents that saw the house. And thanks to all of the above, we were able to accept a solid offer in two short weeks no mean feat in a market that had already shown strong signs of a downward slide. We will always be grateful to you for moving us forward so quickly and efficiently to our new life. Thank you again.
My wife and I started working with David in February 2017. 4 offers later, he got us into a great home at a great value (relatively speaking in this crazy market!) We went from having never met him (and putting in a viewing request via Zillow) to friends in a matter of months. Numerous times we were prepared to offer more on a home and many agents would likely have pushed us into that position, in their best interest of course. David was always levelheaded and made sure we never panicked and overbid. This led to some short-term angst as we lost out on several homes but ultimately led to an even better outcome! He negotiated expertly on our final offer and we ended up in our current home for well under what we were willing to pay. Even after the deal closed, David has kept in close touch every step of the way, buying us a home warranty, managing the current occupants' move-out, and making…

Even after the deal closed, David has kept in close touch every step of the way, buying us a home warranty, managing the current occupants' move-out, and making a stressful and complicated process as seamless as can be. We can't thank David enough.
After my husband and I had found a home we fell in love with, we knew we needed to move fast. We were not working with an agent at the time. David came highly recommended to us by another real estate agent. We were put in contact with him and by the next day David was in our home walking us through the upcoming process to obtain our dream home in this competitive market. We immediately were at ease with his savvy eye and knowledge of the real estate market. He kept the stress out of the buying process by always communicating with us and making himself available whenever we had questions. After knowing him for three days he wrote up an offer, we submitted it, and later that day we found out we had our offer accepted. As we know, a real estate agent's job doesn't end there. However, David has been just as helpful after our offer was accepted as he was before. We would highly recommend Davi…
