Dave Walter

Dave and his son Max were fantastic, especially since they knew how difficult it was letting my house go. When I bought my home 10 years ago I did not plan to move out and thought I would stay there through retirement. Every year I did a big home improvement job such as new floors, new shutters, installing central heating and air, kitchen remodel, etc. Dave kept me informed every step of the way from the showings to the bids on my home, and negotiating for the best financial outcome as possible. I would recommend Dave Walter for any real estate need in question.

We reached out to Dave and Max when we returned to Southern California this year. Dave had been our agent when we sold our home in Thousand Oaks a few years ago. In purchasing a new home, we were pleased to have the opportunity to work with Max in addition to Dave. Max was very responsive to our questions at any time we reached out. We had a very short time to lift contingencies and Max ensured that we met all the deadlines. We felt very well represented in our home purchase.

Dave Walter is the smartest person in the room. Incredibility thankful to have him on our side during the sale and negotiations. From the moment I met Dave at his open house, I knew this was the real estate agent I wanted representing me and my house for sale. He has an aura about him that people gravitate to. Professional, well dressed, likeable and extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of selling a house including pricing, staging, and real estate trends. During his open house, potential buyer after buyer knew Dave by name and greeted him with a smile. To no surprise, the house was contingent within a few days and turned out to be a record price for the area. Dave enjoys what he does and it shows by his work ethic. The time he spends with his clients is unmatched. Constant communication and updates. Always felt like we were his number one priority, while knowing how many other clients he represented. What I really appreciated was the care and extra details Dave provided during the sale. Selling a house is stressful and Dave was there to walk us through each step to ensure we got the best outcome. He would call and thoroughly explain the process until we felt comfortable. He would then turn around and represent us with the best outcome always leaving us with the advantage. The incredible lengths Dave would go to ensure this end result, was to show up and meet with the inspectors and appraiser. Didnt matter the schedule, Dave would show up early and personally introduce himself and secure a fair inspection and appraisal. There are many steps during the sale process a homeowner can lose money on in negotiations or get taken advantage of for unnecessary repairs and Dave wont let that happen. I got to witness this firsthand as he stepped in and saved us from an experienced buyer looking to drive down the price. In todays data driven world, Dave has the advantage with his custom advertising plan, extensive analysis, and projections, which sets him apart from the rest of the real estate agents. He comes prepared and has the results to back it up. He sells real estate.

Dave Walter was phenomenal! I'd give 10 out of 5 stars if I could. This house was destroyed by a flood, and my elderly in-laws had to go to assisted living out-of-state, leaving the house vacant. I also live out of state, so couldn't help much. Due to the difficult situation, we were willing to let the house go at a discount to whomever would just take it off of our hands. But Dave saw the potential in the house, and was willing to work to make sure it brought top dollar. He took care of everything in record time. From arranging to have the kitchen rebuilt, drywall re-installed and painted, choosing and getting installed new flooring throughout the entire downstairs, hiring window cleaners, carpet cleaners, house cleaners, and a pest inspection--he was on top of everything. And he even fronted the cost of all this since arranging payment by my in-laws for these services in a timely manner was a challenge. I can't believe all he did. Now, for the best part. Thanks to Dave's efforts, the house was in demand and his marketing brought in 20 offers within one week of going on the market! The house sold for a solid $200,000 more than it would have had he not arranged all of this work. We are so grateful to Dave. I don't know how he does it--every time I called with a question, he either answered right away or got back to me within an hour or two. And his assistant, Soleil, was always pleasant, patient, and knowledgeable as we worked through challenges signing papers with my in-laws. Such a seamless, effortless (on our part--not on Dave's!) experience. I can't recommend him enough!

Dave and team did an amazing job for us. Under promise and over deliver should be their motto! Dave listed our home on Thursday, held open houses on Saturday and Sunday and put home in escrow on Tuesday with above asking multiple offers!! Closed the home 30 days later, thank you Team Dave. This was our second transaction with Dave and the only negative I can think of is that Dave won't be in Arizona should we decide to move again! Excellent professional representation, superb negotiating skills, great communicator, total team support throughout transaction and a really nice guy! Thanks Dave and team!!
