Fantastic experience: Jason recently sold my grandmother's home in San Jose that was near and dear to our family. Jason handled the renovations and sell of the home with the utmost professional and care. He kept my family in the loop throughout the entire process and we had more offers than we knew what to do with within one week. We highly recommend Jason to anyone who is in need of a realtor in the Bay Area.
Fantastic experience: VKG team + my realtor David Giambruno were able to get my condo sold in a bit of a tough market. Competing with two other condos in the complex, mine was the only one to get sold (one still on the market, one decided to go back to renting). Process was seamless from my end and required very little work from my end. All the decisions that I was initially skeptical about, turned out to be the right moves to get this past the finish line, so I'm happy I put my trust in them!
Fantastic experience: Ben and Jason managed the sale of our house with expertise and dedication, taking the time to listen to our concerns, consistently answering our questions, and keeping us informed throughout every step of the process. They are experts in the market and advertised and staged the home so beautifully that we wanted to move back in! In a competitive market, the house sold quickly and we could not have been more pleased!
Fantastic experience: Solid team, very fair. Mark Von Kaenal and, more recently, David G, have treated me like family. I can’t recommend these guys enough—especially if you are looking for luxury real estate in the South Bay Area
Fantastic experience: Lots of good advice related to real estate to navigate my need
Fantastic experience: Amazing team, they made the process of finding and buying my house really smooth. Special thanks to Jeet! Update: we have just closed one more deal by working with Jeet and the team. This was a big one and a tough one, but we made it, and again, their dedication was second to none. Thank you! Looking forward to working on the next one :)
Thank you so much for this very awesome and honest review Khachik. We can't thank you enough especially your trust. We're so glad that Jeet came through and made it a very smooth transaction. Please don't hesitate to contact us anytime.
Fantastic experience: Ben Frieden and his team handled the sale of our estate-owned duplex. We were impressed with Ben's knowledge of the market and his friendly get-it-done attitude. We found his advice helpful in guiding us through an extensive renovation that resulted in an attractive property which happily sold in less than a week.. We found Ben, his team, and his contractors easy to work with and would highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: After a frustrating start with a "big name" agent, working with Jeet Dholakia and the VKG Real Estate Group was a breath of fresh air. Jeet was exceptionally responsive and patient, providing detailed pros/cons for every home while always respecting our decisions. The VKG team’s coordination is impressive; they handled paperwork in record time and kept everyone—from the mortgage office to escrow—perfectly in sync. Their deep professional network for loans and improvements made the whole process seamless. I highly recommend Jeet and the VKG team to any home buyer!
Fantastic experience: We were so impressed with VKG group and of course our realtor, Ben Freiden. They went above and beyond helping us get our house ready for sale and kept us in the loop, the whole time, answered lots of questions, and made deadlines, that they set for themselves and for us! It was such a smooth transition from our home of 52 years! They came over and did periodical walk throughs to make sure everything was getting done so would be ready for our launch date and got it all done in a timely fashion. We are very pleased how they all work together. Special thanks to Jessica, Jesus, Bella and the whole team that came together to get a great price for our Home! Not to forget Ben Freiden for keeping me calm and getting the job done for us! I highly recommend Ben and his team if you are thinking of selling your home! You won't be disappointed with their knowledge , professionalism and kindness! On to our new journey in our new home!!!
Fantastic experience: David and Jessica and the rest of the team are stellar at their jobs and have exceeded my expectations as a seller. Thank you for taking me up on my request on such short notice and getting the job done! Would recommend this group to everyone I know.
Fantastic experience: This team is exceptional. Their recommendations and suggested time schedule were all accurate. The house, when presented to potential buyers, was in excellent condition with exceptional staging. We achieved the desired outcome in a short period of two weeks. Mark and David were recommended to me by a very good friend, and I strongly recommend them to anyone planning to sell in the San Jose area.
Fantastic experience: Jeet Dholakia and Jessica Burgess are amongst the greatest real estate professionals I’ve ever worked with. Top of line. Thank you, Jason Cullen
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave your feedback! We appreciate your support!
Fantastic experience: Working with David was an amazing experience! He helped us buy our very first home, and the whole process was so much easier than we expected. He’s incredibly organized, always on top of every detail, and quick to respond whenever we had questions. You can tell he truly cares about his clients and wants the best for them. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide us through this huge milestone highly recommend David to anyone looking to buy a home!
Fantastic experience: I had such an incredible experience working with David Giambruno! From start to finish, he made purchasing my first home completely seamless. His experience really showed- every step was handled with confidence, clear communication, and genuine care. What stood out most was how friendly and motivated David was throughout the journey. He truly listened to what we wanted, and I always felt heard. Our first (and only) offer was accepted — David is an amazing negotiator and made it happen! The entire process felt smooth, professional, and enjoyable from beginning to end. I was greeted with a “HOME” balloon arch after getting the keys, which was such a sweet touch and something I’ll always remember :) Thanks to David, we found exactly what we were looking for and felt supported the whole way. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!
Fantastic experience: My condo sold recently, and quickly, thanks to the efforts of Ben Frieden and his team, including Jessica. I thoroughly appreciated their real estate knowledge, professionalism, and comprehensive communication. They were extremely considerate of my schedule and questions, and provided a welcome comfort level. The staging of the property was gorgeous. That all combined for a successful sale for which I am very pleased and thankful. I would recommend Ben Frieden as your real estate agent.
Fantastic experience: As successor trustees for a dear friend, we recently had the responsibility of selling her home. Mark Von Kaenel at VKG Real Estate Group came highly recommended for both his real estate expertise and his experience with trust sales—and he exceeded our expectations. At our first meeting with Mark and VKG Team Manager Jessica Burgess, we were immediately impressed with their professionalism, market knowledge, and clear strategy for getting the home sold. They guided us step by step through inspections, repairs, staging, pricing, marketing, disclosures, and negotiations—always taking time to answer our questions thoroughly and making sure we felt confident in every decision. Following Mark’s pricing strategy, the home received multiple offers and went into contract in under 10 days—ultimately selling for $200K over the listing price. The trust beneficiaries couldn’t have asked for a better outcome or a better team to work with. We highly recommend Mark, Jessica, and the entire VKG team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Fantastic experience: Mark and the team at VKG Real Estate Group did an outstanding job of getting my house sold in a more than satisfactory way. The whole effort, which was substantial given the needed work on my house, was outlined in the first couple meetings and completed in exactly the timeline they projected from the beginning. The folks here on the team are truly professional and experienced in ways I never would have expected while contemplating the sale of my house. Their team of professionals took 100% care of everything from hauling out a ton or trash, to gathering all the disclosure reports, to landscaping and painting. I basically only approved their plans and let them take care of everything. The advice and recommendations I got along the way were fantastic and played out just as they expected. Mark and his team have my highest recommendation!!! Truly satisfied.
Fantastic experience: Thank you, Thank you! VKG Real Estate Group "We were very impressed with David Gianbruno knowledge of the San Jose market. David Gianbruno team was incredibly responsive and kept us informed every step of the way, I felt confident and supported throughout the entire process." We were facing a challenging situation with the buyer's lender delaying closing, but David Gianbruno team, handled it with professionalism and expertise, ultimately leading to a successful closing. I highly recommend David Giambruno team to anyone looking to sell their home in San Jose. Their dedication and attention to detail were exceptional.
Fantastic experience: Buying our first home in San Jose was a major milestone—and having Aaron and Jason by our side made the entire experience not just smooth, but truly meaningful. From the very beginning, they made us feel heard, supported, and cared for. They took the time to understand all our needs, patiently answered every question (no matter how small), and provided honest, thoughtful guidance that we deeply trusted. What stood out most was how genuinely invested they were in our journey. At no point did we feel rushed or pressured. In fact, their advice always felt as sincere as if they were buying the home themselves. In a fast-paced, competitive market, they brought clarity, calm, and a strong sense of confidence. They weren’t just our realtors—they were our advocates, our sounding boards, and sometimes our biggest cheerleaders. Thanks to their approach, the very first home we bid on was accepted! And from offer to closing, they made the entire process feel effortless. We’re beyond grateful to have had such an incredible team by our side. Aaron and Jason turned what could have been a stressful process into an exciting and joyful experience. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better duo to guide us into this next chapter of our lives.
Fantastic experience: What a wonderful selling experience I had with David Giambruno! From the first interview to getting the great news of multiple offers, him and his amazing team ensured everything went quickly and smoothly. The coordination between the team members was flawless and should I sell or buy in the future, he'll be the one I call.
Fantastic experience: From the word go it was evident that choosing Ben Frieden as the Realtor to assist with the selling of my uncle’s house was just awesome. Ben, Jessica and their entire team were always ready with an informed answer to my many questions. And believe me when I say I asked a lot of questions and there were no questions off limits. When one house leveling company was taking too long and kept changing the start date to complete the project, at my request, Ben took the reigns and moved this part of the project along with a different company and for far, far less the cost. Furthermore, at every turn, the replacement company updated me on the specific details, which kept me at ease being that this was a big part of the renovations. Ben kept his promise that the house would be listed to sell by the first quarter of 2025 and it did list and within one week the house sold for $200k over asking price. Thank you everyone for all your attention to detail and making this a very seemless process. Sincerely, Vanessa Price Harris
Fantastic experience: From selling our property to finding our dream forever home - Jason D’Amico is our trusted realtor for life! Jason is always quick to answer a phone call from me. He handles my critical questions, serves the most credible advice, and advocates every time for us. He is humble and keeps you & your family a priority knowing that real estate is not just an investment, but where you build & spend your life… And he does not take that responsibility lightly! THANK YOU JASON for being there for us! We are lucky to have you! - The Sprenkel’s
Fantastic experience: Had a really great experience looking for houses with Jeet. He was super knowledgeable ! Definitely would recommend VKG group.
Fantastic experience: Working with VKG group and specifically Jeet has been a great experience. They have a knowledgeable fleet that is always up to date on local market conditions and changing regulations around home buying process. We connected with team when we started looking for homes in milpitas and fremont area and they connected us with Jeet. After weeks of search, Jeet helped us converge on a home that fit our needs. His responsiveness and composed demeanor took the stress out of the home-buying process for us. Our post sales experience has been great as well. We appreciate that they host regular podcasts with engaging market updates and client appreciation events to keep in touch. Would definitely recommend VKG group to anybody looking for their next home in and around bay area.
Fantastic experience: Working with Jason D’Amico was an incredible experience! He helped us sell our house a couple of years ago, and from start to finish, everything went smoothly. Jason went above and beyond by arranging for a handyman to do touch-ups around the house, which made a big difference. He was also extremely knowledgeable about staging and photography, ensuring everything was set up perfectly to showcase our home. Thanks to his efforts, we were able to get our house on the market in just two weeks, which was impressive. Jason’s professionalism, expertise, and great personality made the whole process so much easier. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
Fantastic experience: Working with Jason D’Amico was an amazing experience! He helped my husband, our dog, and I find the perfect home with a big yard, a spacious office, a large master closet, and a great garage for storage—everything we wanted. Jason made the entire house-hunting process fun and stress-free with his great personality. We couldn’t be happier with our new home, and we’re so grateful for his hard work in making it happen! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Our experience working with Ben Frieden has been phenomenal! House buying can be a very stressful experience, but the right people as your partners can make all the difference. Ben really took great care to learn and adapt to our needs,and also gave us the right guidance from time to time to help us shape our expectations. I have seen him work hard, keeping our interests top of mind, negotiating for us and figuring price strategies to help close out the deal. He has been very flexible to our needs and schedules and has been available at odd hours to answer questions and provide help. My wife and I greatly appreciate the work Ben has done for us!
Fantastic experience: Best in the business! Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: VKG Real Estate was recommended to me by a neighbor who had bought her house with their help. On his initial visit to our home, David had several suggestions for things we could do to help our house bring in top dollar in a tight market. We made those improvements and our home sold for more than I ever would have expected in only six days. I recommend David and Mark for their expertise and the strong team they have assembled.
Fantastic experience: From the very first moment, Mark and David and the whole team are in a different class. They see your property as a unique proposition; their market knowledge and instincts reveal true insights on how to approach the sales and marketing proposition of your home - and they give you a very bespoke program of promotion and targeting to find you the right buyer. The whole team are aligned and work like a well-oiled machine - Jessica gets a shout-out for being on top of everything but every person I met was top class and very professional. The house tour, a podcast hosted from my home, the 360 photography - all of these thoughtful ideas moved the needle and my open houses were popular and vibrant. Thank you Mark, David, Jessica and everyone - I would recommend you in a heartbeat and shout from the rooftops that you are at the very top of the “selling my home” business.
Fantastic experience: Working with Jeet has been a fantastic experience! He’s easygoing, responsive, and never pushy. Jeet quickly understood our tastes and preferences, demonstrating a sharp eye for detail. His insights on home prices and the potential of each property were spot-on. I highly recommend Jeet and the VKG team to anyone looking to buy a home.
Fantastic experience: Aaron is the real estate agent you never knew you needed! He is unbelievably easy to work with. He is responsive, and strategic! He has contacts that help your process move fast from lenders to insurance folks to handymen! Highly highly recommend! Even after home purchase, he is my go to person to ask all things home! Aaron's team - Jessica and others - are also FAST and fantastic to work with!
Hello Thulasi! Thank you so much for the kind words! We're glad to hear that Aaron and the team made the process smooth and efficient for you. It’s great to know that even after your home purchase, we’ve been able to continue helping. We appreciate your recommendation!
Fantastic experience: I presented the VKG group with a nightmarish scenario. One filled with legal hurdles and time critical matters. The entire team utilized their talents and resources to rise above. They took control of an ugly situation and never looked back. It was truly a pleasure to witness that integrity and true professionalism can still be found. I extend my gratitude and appreciation.
Thank you for this awesome review, Nelson! Happy to hear that the team was able to help you with your real estate needs. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: How many times have you seen a house for sale with a reduced offering price? You see it all the time. It sits there unsold for eternity, it seems. Your real estate professional needs to possess intelligence and experience to sell your house at the right price to the right buyer at the right time. I have done three transactions with Mark Von Kaenel at VKG Real Estate Group. I've been totally satisfied with VKG's attentiveness, communication and professionalism.
Thank you for this awesome review, Stan! I highly appreciate these kind words and I cannot wait to work with you again soon. We appreciate this recommendation. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Jason D’Amico sold our Santa Clara condo for us with such dedication and ease ! He is knowledgeable, diligent and professional. Not only did he take care of everything as we are out of state, he also handled everything while we were out of the country ! That’s how much confidence we had in him. Thank you, Jason, for everything. Highly recommend !
Hi Gwen! We're delighted to have assisted you in selling your Santa Clara condo. Thank you for your kind words and recommendation, we appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: The team at VKG Real Estate Group is top notch. Selling our family home while living out of town was seamless with them. Mark as our realtor was available when needed and Jessica was our lifeline to everything! She gave us meaningful suggestions on everything. Arranged all repairs, interior upgrades, landscaping, painting, etc. You name it she was there to help. Our family will forever be grateful to VKG, Mark and Jessica for everything. There simply aren't words to say how awesome it was working with Mark and Jessica!!
Thank you for your wonderful review, Kim! We're thrilled to hear that your experience with VKG Real Estate Group, Mark, and Jessica was exceptional. It was our pleasure to assist you with selling your family home, even from out of town. If you ever need assistance in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you again for choosing us!
Fantastic experience: If you want your home sold, Mark and his team are the ones to get the job done.
Thank you for leaving an incredible feedback, Sal! Rest assured that you're our top priority and that you can reach out to us anytime.
Fantastic experience: During last two years, David Giambruno sold two houses for me. David and his team did a wonderful job. They arranged to get anything done for the houses to be put on market. I could even have gone on vacation without worries. Jessica helped to schedule their handymen to fix the windows, walls, and lights, touch up the paint. The yard debris was removed, and the fence was fixed, etc.. David even provided free staging, that made the house look so beautiful and attractive. Through David's strategy and excellent negotiation skill, both houses were sold at the prices that met my targets. Thank you, David. Definitely 5 stars!
Thank you for the kind words, Taian! We're happy that we were able to helped you in selling your homes and we are more than thankful for your trust. Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: We highly recommend David Giambruno and the VKG Real Estate Group to provide exceptional home real estate services including but not limited to home buying/purchasing strategy, staging, photography, marketing, and negotiations. David was exceptionally helpful during the purchase of our first home during the COVID pandemic. David and VKG team recently helped us purchase our dream home, while also providing support to sell our current home within only 5 days of the listing date! David has been incredibly thoughtful and helpful during this stressful time, and has provided support and preferred vendors as we prepared for the sales/and purchase of our new homes. Thank you David and VKG team.
That's wonderful feedback for David and the VKG Real Estate Group, Sydney! It's fantastic to hear how their exceptional services guided you through purchasing your dream home and swiftly selling your previous one within just five days. Here's to your new chapter in your dream home!
Fantastic experience: Mark Von Kaenel and his team did an extraordinary job helping me sell my Santa Cruz mountain home. They were always available to answer any question I might have and always kept me well informed in very step of the process. The whole team went above and beyond. I highly recommend them.
Thank you for the kind words, Stephanie! We thrive on this type of feedback and I’m happy that we were able to make this happen for you. We really appreciate your trust and recommendation. Thanks a lot!
Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful experience every step of the way in using this group. From start to finish they were responsive, thorough, engaging and helpful. Their vendors were timely and professional, marketing was excellent and their response to buyers as well as our questions were top notch. Our home sold above asking and within a week. I would highly recommend the realtors and staff here.
Thanks for the positive review, Lisa! We love hearing from our clients especially when our services are able to make a positive difference to them. Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: We had an outstanding experience with Aaron and his whole team. First and foremost - they care about their clients and you feel that from the first meeting through the end of the process. That being said, here's how the process went. They helped us come up with a great strategy to get the house to a place where buyers felt that it was move-in ready. They connected us with vendors to get work done on the house to make it look amazing before tours and open houses began. They made this process so easy by doing almost all of the legwork and covering the cost to be paid back after closing. Another part that showed how much they care is how they helped us work around the holidays, getting most of the work done ahead of time and then hitting things hard after so we could list at the best time possible. This allowed us to celebrate the holidays at home and to barely feel affected by the whole process. The end result was so much interest in the house that it almost felt overwhelming (in a good way!). This led to tons of offers, multiple strong offers and an end sale price that we were very happy with. Communication from the team was solid throughout. It fell in the "just right" category; not too much, not too little. We were always in the know but didn't feel overwhelmed. I highly recommend VKG both for the end result but even more for the relationship that they cultivate with their clients.
Thank you so much for such a fantastic review, Landon! We love hearing from our clients especially when our services are able to make a positive difference to them. We really appreciate your trust and recommendation. Thanks a lot!
Fantastic experience: Ben Frieden and the rest of the Mark von Kaenel team helped us buy our first home and we couldn't recommend them enough. Super responsive, always friendly, and great at listening to our wants/needs for our new place and making them happen. Great people and great work!
Thanks for the awesome review, Heather! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we’re happy to hear we hit the mark for you. Cheers!
Fantastic experience: We had a fantastic experience with Ben Frieden and team while buying our house and selling our condo. Ben was always ready to show us properties, had a solid knowledge about potential issues on houses and possible ways to fix them. He also proved to be a good sounding board when it came to ideas, and he is a person with a great deal of humor. We full heartedly recommend him and his team to anyone who is buying or selling in the Bay area.
Csilla, thank you for the great review! We’re so happy you loved your experience and can’t wait to have you back for your real estate transaction with us. Until then, we’re here if you need anything.
Fantastic experience: David and his team were excellent. As a first time seller, David guided me through the process and managed every aspect. Selling our family home was an emotional experience after losing a loved one which necessitated the sale. David and his team safeguarded the home, and prepared it for the best showing and market price. And, when I say preparing I mean updating a kitchen, new flooring and carpet throughout, painting walls and ceilings throughout -- all completed in a week. David was professional and communicated well. I highly recommend David and his team!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Genevieve. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us.
Fantastic experience: Mark and his outstanding team expertly helped us sell the family home. What was an emotional time, was made so much easier with their confident, logical and efficient approach. They were always available to answer questions and support our needs. Most importantly, they kept us well informed of every step.
Thank you for the kind words, Judith! We’re so happy your home buying experience with us went so smoothly.
Fantastic experience: We have just completed our sale using the VKG Real Estate Group. Mark vonKaenel and his team were excellent. Estimates on repairs/upgrades to the home were accomplished quickly. All work was performed in a cost effective manner and with excellent results. The home interior was painted and floors refinished. Both looked beautiful. We were kept in the loop every step of the way. The transaction was completed on time. I would pick the same team again!
Genevieve, thank you for the great review! We’re so happy you loved your experience and can’t wait to have you back for your transaction with us. Until then, we’re here if you need anything.
Fantastic experience: David was wonderful in helping us select our new home. David was knowledgable about the area, and patient in explaining how the process of home buying works. We are very grateful for his hard work. Diane High
Thank you for the kind words Diane! I'm so happy we found you a great home. Enjoy the villages!
Fantastic experience: We were lucky enough to have worked with Jeet Dholakia during the search for our home. It was extremely important that we worked with someone who was receptive to our needs/wants and who had great communication. Jeet listened to our needs and was always readily available to meet with us to show us a property. He was always giving us updates, answering our million questions (first time home buyers), and guided us through every step of the way. With his guidance, we felt fully supported through each step. After about a month of searching, we were able to seamlessly close on a home all thanks to Jeet! We are forever grateful to have been able to work with Jeet!
We're really grateful and we appreciate you taking the time to share your rating with us, Alexandrea! We wish you all the best!
Fantastic experience: VKG Real Estate Group was instrumental in getting us our first home and ensuring a smooth and stress-free home buying process. We have to give a huge shoutout to Ben Frieden for being patient and flexible with our needs and schedules. I went into the process expecting to spend months looking for the right home within our budget and settling for what we could find, but Ben made it all possible in a month with a home and neighborhood I never imagined we could purchase. I would recommend anyone looking to buy a home in South Bay to go with the team at VKG Real Estate Group!
Thank you for the review, Jessica!
Fantastic experience: David was great best realtor I ever worked with. He was able to sell my property for top dollar when several realtors said it was impossible. David also made it so easy for us since we moved out of state he managed all the repairs and renovations to the house
Fantastic experience: We decided to sell our condo and make an investment in real estate outside CA. Our friend highly recommended David: he had great experience with him in the past. David sold our property; he took care of everything including repairs, staging, 1031, etc. It was a pleasure working with him. He is an honest and reliable person. David and his team are very professional.
Fantastic experience: We had a fantastic experience working with Mark and Jessica. Mark is very knowledgeable about the real estate market. He was attentive to our requirements and addressed my concerns throughout the journey of selling our family house. Jessica handled all the details of getting the house ready to go on the market – identifying the contractors, scheduling of the repairs, cleaning, and landscaping. It was incredibly comforting to know the sale of our house was in expert hands while we were traveling out of the country. I especially appreciated that Mark and Jessica kept me in the loop of all activities, and they were always responsive to my asks and input. I highly recommend Mark and his team - they made our house selling experience hassle free by providing us with a complete turnkey service. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: My wife and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor experience than we got working with David! He is very professional, extremely knowledgeable and addressed every question/concern we had. Not only was he calm and patient throughout the home buying process but a solid advisor helping us navigate the crazy home buying process in the Bay Area. We always felt that he had our best interests in mind, helping us with financing and all the way to the close of escrow. Thank you, David! We highly recommend the VKG team for your next purchase/sale!
Russell! Thank you so much for the kind words. I was my pleasure to work with you and Fatima. Enjoy your new home and I'm always here if you need anything.
Fantastic experience: Aaron Derbacher is a rock star. Talk about going above and beyond to help us sell our home, he and his team are very professional and know their business. They will assist you through what can be a very stressfull process and their expertise is unmatched. We can't recommend Aaron and his team enough!
Fantastic experience: David and his team are the most knowledgeable, creative and hard working team in real estate. I've been doing real estate investment and development for 30 years, and David helped me sell a very challenging property. He was always super positive and would quickly overcome issues with and kept me up to date with amazing communication. I HIGHLY recommend the VKG team!!
Thank you for your kind words, Rod. Truly appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Mark and David helped sell our house and buy a new one. In this market with very limited inventory, we were fortunate that we made one just offer during our home search and got it accepted. We interviewed other agents and visited a few houses with them. These searches have not been fruitful because houses quickly became pending even before we had a chance to make an offer. We don’t think we could have bought a place so quickly without their help. We really appreciated their access to unlisted properties and their motto of “No sign, No problem”. They also did a very good job of selling our house. Their selling price was quite accurate, and they found us painter, gardener, handyman and staging crew, all at very reasonable prices. Execution was very crisp and per plan. When a problem arose, they resolved it very quickly. For example, when the sign installer ruptured a landscape pipe, they sent a repair person the same day to get the issue fixed. We liked having home/termite/roof inspections done early and making the reports available to potential buyers to avoid any surprises. We appreciated having our own website domain featuring our home and 3-D tour including drone-captured videos/photos. Complementary landscaping and staging were very nice. The only small disagreement was with the listing price of our home. We ended up getting $116K over the asking price with 7 offers in 7 days. If we had priced it a bit higher, perhaps we could have avoided wasting time with a few low-ball offers.
Fantastic experience: The work that Dave and his team did for my brother and I to prepare our parent's house for sale was truly amazing. We gave him a dirty, smelly, worn house that was not very appealing and he was able to turn it into a clean, repaired, highly desirable house that sold for top dollar in five days. He and his team did all the repairs and cosmetic changes and staging in three weeks as promised. Dave was professional and very easy to work with. The change in the house was stunning. I was surprised by how good it looked when it went on the market. I wouldn't have believed the difference he made if I hadn't seen it. I have nothing but positive things to say about him and his team.
Thanks for your kind words, Nicki. I appreciate you putting your trust in me!
Fantastic experience: My partner and I had a wonderful experience with David as our realtor. This was our first home and we were able find one that fit all of our requirements while staying within our price range. David played a huge role in that and he made sure we didn’t settle for anything less. He was also very responsive and took the time to explain in detail any questions that came up. We will always be thankful for David’s honesty and expertise. The whole experience could have been very stressful but it ended up being really fun and exciting!
Fantastic experience: WOW! After working with David. I am at a loss for words. As a person, he's already amazing but as a realtor that represented us as Buyers, he's exceptional. So professional and so efficient. He has insane knowledge of the area and of this industry. When we first met, he asked on a verbal deal (I bet it would have been handshake but since we're in a pandemic, that wasn't possible) that the only thing he asked of us was that if he gives us his time, we give him ours. What's also amazing is that with each house we went to see, he brings up great points in regards to the functionality and things to consider. When it came to putting down offers. He always went through the disclosures with us and made sure we understood all aspects of what they said and what would be a competitive offer. He respected our wishes but also made sure to think on what can get us our dream home. Seriously, such a cool / down to earth man that knows the business. BEST REALTOR EVER. We'll be using him for all our future real estate needs.
Fantastic experience: David is the BEST!!!!

Fantastic experience: David is top notch and knows what he's talking about. David advised me on my credit rating and what I needed to do to better position myself to purchase a house. After following his advice, I went from being a ghost in the system to a person with a Very Good credit rating in 7 months! David is as authentic as it gets. I trust him with my finances.

Fantastic experience: David, your advice and willingness to share your experience in real estate with others is invaluable. I really appreciate your tips on how to improve my skills and add more value to my clients. Thank you so much. Mirella
Hi Mirella. Teaching agents like yourself is one of the best parts about being in the business for the last 17 years. I’m always here if you need anything.
Fantastic experience: David was simply amazing from the minute I met him. Always available, knew his job and worked for my best interest all the way.
Fantastic experience: I am a lender and one of the customers I had approved for a loan was working with David. She had such an amazing experience with him (as did I) that I felt compelled to write a review for him. She was a very particular client with specific likes. He not only found her the perfect home but was able to negotiate an amazing price for her in one of the hottest real estate climates in decades. David was a a consumate professional, walked the client through the entire process and both the client and I walked away from the transaction with such a Positive experience.
Thanks Krista! Having you on the lending side was critical to ensuring a smooth transaction for our client.
Fantastic experience: David was absolutely AMAZING! He was great to work with, helped us every step of the way, always free to answer any questions we may have had. He made buying a house a simple, easy process and I would recommend him to everyone I know! Thank you for all that you did for us David!
Fantastic experience: Wow...to say I was impressed with David would be an understatement. From the moment we chose to list our property with him, he was the ultimate professional and clearly at the top of his trade. We put our full trust in his listing strategy (incredible resources and suggestions) and it paid off significantly in the end. Only one open house was necessary- over 100 potential buyers came by, we received multiple offers immediately and throughout the week, finally accepting an offer $80K over asking price. He clearly does his homework and knows the right approach to get a maximum offer quickly (in a newly unstable market). This guy is the real deal, folks. If you are looking for someone to represent you on either side of the real estate transaction, you’d be a fool not to select David. He makes everything look and feel effortless - we could not be more thrilled with our results. Looking forward to partnering with him on many future endeavors! Simply the best!
Thank you for the kind words! It was a pleasure working with you and Nick.
Fantastic experience: I've worked with David and he has a vast experience and knowledge in the San Jose Real Estate market. Easy to work with and great negotiator!
Fantastic experience: I was a first time home buyer and David made the entire process effortless. He is very caring and listened to all my questions/concerns. I will always use David and highly recommend him. David made purchasing a home FUN!
