David is horrible. I have all my things packed in boxes as I was supposed to move in per the lease agreement however her suddenly stops responding to all communication. Ive never met a lot unprofessional agent in my life. How can someone like this continue to be in the industry beats me.

I have been trying to reach out to David for the past few days regarding one of his rental listings on Zillow, he is not responding to Zillow requests, phone calls and VMs, after sending text asking for viewing all I got from him is ?no can?t do today?, I have asked for alternate times to schedule a viewing and still no response. I would not suggest David for listings rental properties.

David was referred to me by my very good friend who helped him buy a house. David played a critical role in helping me to purchase a house. David identified type of places I was looking for and would send his recommendations for some potential deals. He joined me on all the visits and would provide his feedback on things he liked and what he didnt like. He guided me through the home purchase process. David was extremely patient even when I changed my mind of what I was looking for through the process. We bid on a few houses and David was extremely good at providing detailed overview of the property and what our ideal bid should be. I still remember him advising me not to bid higher for one of the properties since a few other bids were far away from the market price. Once just before putting a bid he found about a new project approval in front of a property due to which its price could go down and advised me not to bid. I wouldnt have expected these from others and Im really thankful to him. David is extremely knowledgeable, is amazing to work with and has utmost integrity which is very important while youre making one of the biggest decisions of your life. He also connected me to the lender who helped me close the loan. During the closing process, David guided me through the process and made sure we were meeting the timelines. Even after closing the loan he has been connecting me to contractors to get work done in the house. He goes above and beyond what is expected from him especially after closing the deal. This has really made my life much easier. He has been an amazing advisor through the tedious process of buying a house. His vast knowledge about the area, his focus on always doing good for the client and ability to stay patient played a critical role in helping me find a house I really love. Would like to thank him and would strongly refer him to all friends who are looking to buy a house.

David?s responsiveness to all our needs and questions made him stand out. He guided me through the selling process from day one! His designer gave great recommendations on colors, lighting, and renovation ideas.David worked so hard on getting so many people to visit the open houses, which resulted in getting the offer we wanted in less time than expected.We absolutely recommend him to anyone who is ready to sell or buy a home. In fact, we have given David?s information to a friend who will be selling his home next year. Without David and his team, we wouldn?t have received as many offers as we did.I am so glad I met David at that open house!

Weve lived in Sonoma County now for 10 years but our roots are in Potrero Hill. 5 stars across the board seems somehow very unlikely. Like maybe we just like David and wanna help him out. Okay. Thats true. We do like David. We met him on the front steps of a house that was listed for sale. David was showing the house to someone else and we were definitely trespassing. David was gracious and kind. Offered to help us another time when he was finished with his client and left us with his business card. That was in 2011. For the next 7 years David cheerfully tolerated our incredibly meticulous search for the perfect home. As our needs changed over the years David seamlessly changed with them. He listened to our needs and worked tirelessly to find us exactly what we wanted and needed. When we finally identified the property, after years of searching and dozens of viewings, we leapt at the opportunity. David very wisely reigned us in and helped us through the process of bidding for and negotiating a fair price for our home. His foresight and guidance through this process was instrumental. Ive bought and sold homes before, some without the help of a realtor. I will admit there is no way we could have managed this without his council and guidance. Hes a gem.

I feel lucky that we found realtor David Poulsen on Zillow. He knows the San Francisco market well and negotiated the perfect place for us at a great price. He then went above and beyond to ensure that every step of the process was on time and well-executed. David will do whatever it takes to follow through on the transaction including personally delivering documents and getting critical sign-offs. Superior service!

Searching for and buying your dream home is supposed to be fun. Doing it in San Francisco is anything but fun. That was until I met David Poulsen from Better Homes and Gardens. His experience and expertise allowed me to forge ahead and purchase the home of my dreams. Not only did I find the perfect home, but strategically bought it under my expected purchase price. This could have only been done with the help of David. He did the impossible, and especially impossible in San Francisco. Before I met David, I had other realtors convince me to make offers on houses I could not afford, on houses that were overpriced, on houses that had hidden flaws that would have been prohibitively expensive to fix, and to make offers that had missing contingencies . Thankfully I was outbid on those houses. As one example of David?s expertise, he discovered that there was a zoning problem on a property that ultimately the banks would not fund. His early discovery prevented a month of work applying for a loan, and then being turned down for funding because of this hidden flaw. Don?t take a chance in this crazy market. Go with David. Thanks David for all your help!

This review is long overdue. My fiance and I were hoping to purchase our first home and guestimated it would happen some time next year (considering the market and our budget). We reached out to David late April with our information and guideline and didnt think too much afterwards, all things considered. A few weeks later we get an urgent email and it turns out David had been able to find a home that met our criteria and within our budget! Even at this point I didnt hope too much as I know that the market is incredibly aggressive. Within a week we had made an offer, negotiated, and lo-and-behold we were in escrow!Throughout the proceeding weeks David was indispensable. He guided us through all the steps of purchasing a home by answering all of our questions (even the silly ones) and regularly checking in on us as well as our lenders. He kept us informed with every new update and made sure to be reachable no matter the time or day.We have now been in our new house for a week and and it feels like home. Without his help I am sure we would have never been able to purchase a home so quickly and so smoothly.*Plus he introduced to some amazing local restaurants :P

As a first-time homebuyer, I met with several realtors when I began shopping for a home. After my first phone call with David, I knew he was the one that I wanted to help me navigate the difficult San Francisco housing market. He guided me through the entire process. He was honest, he was diligent, and he went way above and beyond. With Davids help, I closed on my first home in January of 2016. Thank you David!

David came highly recommended by a longtime business associate of mine. he had helped relatives of this man with 2 real estate sales. my experience with him was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable of real estate in the area, knew on how to get the best price possible, and did! in fact getting a record price for the immediate neighborhood. The sale happened quickly, and he handled all the contractors needed to get the house ready for sale as I dont live in the area. I cannot recommend him enough, a great Realtor and lovely person!!
