Dave was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the apartment search and rental process. From our first meeting when he initially showed me the space up through moving day, he was always incredibly responsive, personable, reliable, and knowledgeable. He was always quick to answer any questions from myself or my roommates, which came with an added layer of complexity due to the fact that the three of us were in different states and traveling around prior to the move — this made clear communication crucial, which he did very well.
Furthermore, he was extremely helpful when it came to helping us coordinate the move in terms of finding movers and making sure the apartment was ready for us the day of. Even following the move, he checked in to ensure that we were liking the apartment and enjoying the neighborhood (which we are, very much!). Finding a 3-​bedroom apartment (especially for a September 1^st lease) in Boston can be a stressful ordeal, however Dave helped us find a fantastic place and was able to make us feel comfortable with the move, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Moving forward, I would absolutely choose to work with him again and will recommend him to any friends in need of a real estate agent!

When we were apartment hunting around Beacon Hill, we were impressed by the quality of the listings that David had online. After we reached out to him and he understood our apartment criteria, David would call us about listings that matched our criteria and was always extremely friendly — if a listing wasn’t exactly what we wanted, David didn’t push us and instead just went right back to looking.
Once we did settle on one that we liked, David was communicative throughout the entire process. We always knew what was going on and what to expect next in terms of hearing back from the landlord or reviewing the lease.
David goes beyond what’s in the standard job description for a real estate broker. On the day before our move, we realized that our moving permit signs had gotten taken down, which made us anxious about being able to park the moving truck the next day. David was helpful even on that front, printing out new flyers for us and getting us duct tape and markers on short notice since he’s in the area, which definitely made that day easier.

Dave has been hands-​down the most vital person in my entire home-​buying experience. From the beginning, he always operated with my best interest in mind. I was a first time home buyer searching for a multi-​family house in the Boston area. The purpose of my purchase was mainly as an investment but it is also where I plan to live for a couple years. Not only was I picky and detail oriented because I was a first time home buyer, but being particular and thorough is in my nature. Dave handled every question, concern, and issue that I threw at him with the utmost professionalism. He went out of his way to see every open house with me, and the houses on which I submitted offers he visited with me multiple times. Any day, any time of the week, Dave made my home buying process a priority. We submitted offers on 5 different houses before finally getting an accepted offer on the 6^th house. That turned out to be the easy part. After that, Dave connected me with a mortgage specialist who was also a pivotal person throughout the buying process. Dave worked tirelessly with my attorney and I to get the deal done in a very timely manner, which turned out to be incredibly important because I was able to get tenants in the house on September 1^st, which as any Bostonian knows is the big date for rentals. Dave did not stop there. He connected me with a handy man that took care of minor repairs before I could rent the place and helped me market the apartment. When I say «helped» me market the place, I mean he took pictures, listed the apartment on multiple websites, connected me with the tenants that currently live there, and provided examples of leases all at no cost to me whatsoever. To say Dave is a uniquely great real estate agent is an understatement. He’s a hard-​working and awesome individual as well. I highly recommend Dave to anyone considering a real estate transaction in the Boston area.

Dave is a friend and my go to person for all questions real estate related. He is extremely knowledgeable on the local Boston market and on the ins and outs of a transaction (Dave and I have done a few together).
I believe that a real estate broker should be a true advocate for me, whether it be a sale, rental, or general real estate advice. If you feel the same, then I highly recommend Dave. He is hard working, smart, and most importantly, always direct and honest. When he doesn’t know something, he will tell you, and then he will come back after the needed research.
