We highly recommend David Carter and his team! From our first meeting with David to discuss the possible sale of our home, and the several months thereafter working together during our sale and the search for and purchase of our next home, David worked diligently on our behalf. We felt David was truly representing us and not the other party, and he was knowledgeable and provided honest and experienced advice and service. David was always accessible and responsive through our many calls, texts, and emails. Please call David Carter if you're looking for an experienced professional agent who cares about his clients. We believe you too will be very pleased with your experience.
This was the seventh home I have put on the market and sold, but this is the best experience I have ever had! David was always available and of course we ran into problems and David helped us through the issues by being calm and remained positive. He came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Once we got through the legal issue the house sold exactly how he said it would (in 5 days, 13 offers and way above asking price). His knowledge of the market and the area revealed in a wonderful experience.
I highly recommend David Carter for all your real estate needs. He is very knowledgeable of the market and was extremely helpful advising me on how best to prepare my Father's home for sale. The process was painless. Thank you, David!
Cathy Ann Dix
David Carter made the process of finding THE home for me so very easy. The whole process from viewing to signing was an absolute breeze. He understands and takes the time to listen. I was never pressured or rushed to do anything and my home purchase went flawlessly.

Our experience with David Carter at Allen Tate couldn’t have been better. David has deep roots in this area, is extremely knowledgable about the local market, and is very supportive of our community. We were impressed with David’s responsiveness, integrity, and great communication skills. Our first home buying process was quick and surprisingly painless - David really “got” us and what we were looking for; we actually found our home on our first day of tours. It never felt cold or transactional, either - he kept providing resources for all sorts of things, even after we’d signed the papers. What started as a business relationship has blossomed into one our first and best friendships in Burlington.
David Carter is by far the best real estate agent I've ever had the privilege of using. He has a high level of excellence as well as a high level of patience. He should be your choice for buying or selling. The staging he helped me with brought me much more for my house than I would have gotten without his touch. He is the one.
Marie A.
David Carter is a wonderful Realtor. I bought my home last summer and he made the process so easy. He is very knowledgeable in his profession. I highly recommend David if you are looking to buy or sell a home!
Andrew Monteith
David was very helpful when it came to finding a house. I have a vision disability that prevents me from driving, so I needed to stay close to where I work. The problem is that everything close to my office is student rentals, and when something goes on the market the rental barons snatch it up before anyone else can have it. David managed to find me a reasonably-priced house one block from my office that wasn't even on the market yet, which made it possible for me to finally buy my first home. It's the right size, the right location, and it even came with a garden. Thanks David!
We have had the good fortune of working with David twice so far in different situations, both buying and selling. He works diligently in either capacity to ensure his clients are informed throughout the whole process and has thorough knowledge of market conditions, inventory specifics, and a host of other things to answer all of your questions clearly. We relied on his opinions and insight to help guide us through each time. When you work with David, you are working with the best of the best! Thank you David!
David was incredibly helpful in helping us become first time homeowners. He listened to our needs, helped us understanding the lending process, and helping us jump on an ideal home. David answers all of my questions and his insight into the buying process was so influential. Additionally, David helped us sell our first home when my job required us to relocate. He helped us in determine the value of our home, staging it to sell, and it was sold in a flash! Thanks for all of your help David in both the buying and selling process!
We trusted David because of his vast experience and knowledge of the local area. His expertise helped find a home that is perfect for us.
Wendy Geise
As far as we are concerned, David Carter is the only choice when seeking real estate services in the historic district of Burlington and surrounding area. His knowledge, experience, expertise, and demeanor were nothing short of exceptional in helping us list and sell our home. In doing business with David we found him to be professional, courteous, efficient, and a wealth of information. We had an incredible offer within 24 hours of listing, a smooth transaction right through closing, and give every bit of credit to David and his team.
I've worked with a number of agents over the years and David is by far the best in listening to his clients. He is also incredibly fair and ethical, going beyond my expectations. He realizes that Burlington (where I was buying) is a small place, and that reputation is incredibly important; he will not try to sell you something that you do not want or need. If you are buying a home Burlington, I would definitely recommend David, hands down.
David did an incredible job helping us buy the house of our dreams. He led us through process and made sure we we felt confident in all aspects of the purchase. He did such a great job we asked him to help is sell the home we were moving out of ..and he did!!! Buying or selling, David does a great job!
Amy Hartley
We chose David to help sell our home. The service he provided, including staging, professional photography, and excellent recommendations made for a smooth and easy sale. There were some needed updates and repairs before listing. Thanks to David's patience, vast knowledge and great advice we were able to get top dollar for our home. David also helped us purchase our new home, and patiently guided us through every single step. David is a true professional and we wouldn't use anyone else!
David has worked with our family through both a purchase as well as a sale and he was knowledgeable, professional, offered sound rational perspective and good guidance as we prepared for both transitions. We greatly appreciated having access to him and he was always available to take a call or quickly schedule seeing a listing. He has good instincts, knows Burlington well and will work hard for you and your family.
David was incredibly patient as my husband and I searched for *just* the right house for us. Once we finally found it, he walked us through the whole process and made it seem easy. We always knew what we needed to do next and how to get it done. I'm so grateful I had David's help in buying my home!
Katharine and Greg Frazier
David helped us purchase our dream home in 2016 and a couple of investment properties since then. Each transaction had unique challenges and he navigated them all to a successful close with grace. We work with David for his deep knowledge of the area coupled with stellar instinct, and most importantly, because we trust him. We look forward to the next opportunity to work with David!
David Carter is the kind of realtor that every buyer and seller should be lucky enough to have. It is obvious that his work is a calling for him. He finds joy in getting to know his clients and the homes they are buying or selling. He relates in a manner that is genuine and trustworthy.
When we were selling my parents’ house, he found a buyer my parents would have loved to see living in that house. He negotiated a sale that was fair and satisfying to both parties. He accommodated our need for COVID-related precautions throughout the process.
In two other cases - when we decided to sell a condo in one place and buy one in another - he couldn’t represent us directly, but he referred us to excellent realtors in the other places.
For all these reasons, we always turn to David when we need help with real estate, and we always enthusiastically recommend him to others.
David helped us sell our house (which occured shortly after listing). He was attentive, prompt, and very professional. Mr. Carter also linked us with several individuals to assist with home repairs; all of whom proved to be well above average. I would not hesitate to work with him again and encourage anyone needing to sell or buy a home to contact him.
From start to finish David was always there to answer questions, give advice, and guide us to the best choices to serve our needs. David Carter's services did not stop once we purchased our home . He continued to provide us with connections to local trusted contractors as we remodeled our home . True to his word, once he’s your agent he is always there for your needs and concerns Thank you David! We love our home!
David was wonderful to work with and very professional. He knows his market and sold our house in one day! I highly recommend David whether you’re in market to buy or sell!
Muriel
David was really helpful in finding as well as selling my house! I would definitely recommend him! If you want a worry and hassle free experience with a realtor you can trust, David’s your guy!
Maureen Vandermaas-Peeler

I particularly appreciate his honest assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of each property you are considering. David ensures that he understands your preferences and works efficiently to help you buy and sell. You will be so happy you chose him!
We feel so fortunate to have had David’s help with finding and purchasing our first home. David was knowledgeable, patient, and flexible with us as first-time home buyers. Despite looking during a hot housing market, we were able to find a home that met all of our criteria and close without any issues. We love our home and cannot recommend David highly enough!
David is a knowledgeable and Insightful realtor who actively supports clients with expert advice. David knows how to both inform and relate to clients and sold our house quickly!
S. Sink
David is so professional. He new exactly what we needed to do to get our house sold quickly. We ended up with numerous offers well over our asking price. We accepted an offer less than one week after listing it with David. If I ever need Real Estate services again I will definitely be calling David Carter with Allen Tate Realty.
Steven & Janice Fipps
Steven & Janice Fipps give David Carter 5 stars+ for his service in selling our home in Burlington NC which is 212 miles from our permanent home in SC. Mr. Carter is a professional that knows his market. He is the subject matter expert in knowing: 1)what upgrades need to be made to the proposed property prior to placement on the market, 2) recommending superb contractors to perform the upgrades at very fair pricing, 3) identifying paint and decor color, and 4) truly impressed with his staging the home for showing. David is blessed with excellent communication and customer relationship skills. He truly cares about his client. I am a Professional Engineer and ask a plethora of questions along with having my own ideas. After discussions, I always followed followed David’s recommendations (even when I still had doubts) . I am so glad that I listened to the subject matter expert, Mr. David Carter. I have dealt with good and inexperienced real estate agents and David Carter is without question the best I have experienced. He will make your home buying or selling an easy, stress free, and rewarding experience, if you trust and allow him.
David is the best of the best! He has helped us on both buying and selling transactions and made both go so smoothly. When we sold our home, he helped us get under contract (and get multiple offers to choose from) in one day! David has a wealth of knowledge, not just of the industry, but also Alamance County in general. I can't say enough about his professionalism and have recommended him to friends and family.
I interviewed several realtors to sell my home in the historic district. I ultimately chose David because of his knowledge of the area and the trust I felt when speaking with him. David handled the entire sale with professionalism, answered all of my questions thoroughly and gave me guidance and advice when needed. He was quick to respond anytime I communicated with him. From our first conversation through closing, David provided expertise and care! I wholeheartedly recommend David!
Professional, hardworking, and trustworthy. He shepherded us through a stressful time and were able to make our dream of owning a historic property a reality!S. Vincent

David Carter is easily the best real estate agent I’ve worked with. He is supportive throughout the process of selling and purchasing- giving helpful advice along the way. He gets a good read on his clients and looks out for property that will suit them well.
He sold my home in only a few short days- so be prepared!

Patricia Michaud-Towery
Please see my comments above.
I am new to this community and felt very welcomed from the moment I walked into Allen Tate. The staff is most helpful. Everything was handled wonderfully and I was kept informed about all the details from inspections to the final meeting with the lawyer.
I am enjoying my new home at Trail One complete with space for an art studio.
Thanks to everyone on the staff and especially Ken Smith for the expertise in finding this great home.
I worked with David Carter from Allen Tate Realtors. He is extremely professional and helped me in every possible way. He is a wonderful agent and I highly recommend him to everyone.
Renee Palmer
David and his team were wonderful to work with! I have no reservations about suggesting him to anyone looking for a supportive realtor who truly goes the extra mile. Lori was great to work with, also. Both are consummate professionals.
Angelea Blanchard
Mr.Carter was the second realtor we used to sell our property in Alamance County, NC. After 6 months with our first realtor and not even an offer....Mr. Carter had our home sold to the first family he showed it to! We closed about a month after that. David and his team were professional, prompt in answering questions, and willing to go the 'extra mile' to see that my family was satisfied with the sale. I would definitely recommend David Carter to be your real estate agent.
I just want to send a huge THANK YOU from the bottom of mine and my husband's hearts for helping us sell our home and buy another one in record time recently due to the crazy housing market in Alamance County. You have been my friend for so many years, but the level of professionalism and knowledge and caring that you expressed during the multi-month process was amazing and made the process so less stressful. I also want to express sincere thanks to Ken and Lori whose vaulable assistance in our situation was also of notice and so very appreciated. It was refreshing to have your level of patience and understanding when we were going crazy. If anyone needs a realtor, please choose David Carter with Allen Tate Realty in Burlington as he is the BEST, BEST, BEST!!!!!
Professional, informed, reliable, and forward-thinking are the first words that come to mind to describe David Carter. To live in upper New York State and to search for a house in North Carolina requires faith in your realtor. We had that throughout the months we worked with David to find the right—and we believe—perfect house for us.
David came to know us and our preferences well enough that we received notice of many possibilities. We gradually came to be more knowledgeable of the North Carolina real estate market and rules which are quite different from New York’s. Our first “possibility” gave him pause, and we had an inspection done before we made an offer. The results were devastating but not obvious. We did not offer. The second possibility went as far as the due diligence stage. David helped us find contractors who estimated costs for us; and then, as it appeared, once again, that the truth was being hidden, he brought someone in to inspect closely. The myriad hidden problems and the possible costs resulted in both our due diligence and down payment being returned. David Carter’s concern and professionalism is exemplary. He deeply cared about our finding the right home.
As we drove up to the house on Coveside Trail, we knew we’d found our home, and we believe David knew it too. It meets all the criteria we set out to find. His contact with Carolina bank made securing a mortgage a breeze, and the law firm that handled our purchase made the closing easy and pleasant.
Without reservation, we would recommend David Carter to anyone. Our experience working with him was wonderful.
David Carter is the BEST!!!! The sale of my historic home in Glencoe was more complicated than most sales, and David handled every aspect of it professionally and expertly. He was very responsive to any concern or question I had, made excellent suggestions to improve the sale-ability of my home, and followed up with me frequently as I went through the process of selling and buying with him. I've bought and sold many houses over the years and I would rate David as the best realtor I have used.
David is very knowlegdeable in his field and listens to your input. We felt that David treated us more like a friend and truly cared whether we would be happy in our new home. We would highly recommend him for any of your Real Estate needs.
The Deweys
David is amazing!!! He was patient and always had or found the answers to our questions. We don't plan to buy another home but if we did David would be the realtor we used.
Phil Davidson
I recently purchased a home in Gibsonville using David Carter. Buying a home can be a stressful experience and having a professional to guide you through the process is of the utmost importance. We were fortunate to have David be that professional. Moving from South Carolina, we were not familiar with the area. David made himself available at the drop of a hat as we were from out of town and had a limited time to search for a home.
David met with our lender on several occasions to iron out the wrinkles of a special financing plan that we were using. He stayed with us through the buying and settlement process, making recommendations for contractors we needed to make upgrades to the property. Sarah and I highly recommend David to take you through the buying process.
This was my first experience purchasing a home after my divorce. To say I was nervous would be an understatement. I went into the process thinking that I would act as my own agent. I realized quickly that if I represented myself then my client was a fool. I knew David from a friend of a friend and thought he was a hardworking, honest agent. I gave him a call and he showed me a few properties, all of which were within the guidelines I had described. He was very helpful when I was trying to decide between two homes. He guided me through the process of choosing home options that would best help me sell my home when it became time to resell. And he skillfully negotiated my deal with the seller's agent. I had such a good experience that I've recommended him to friends, some of whom have bought through him. One other plus of David is that he has introduced me to several home improvement professionals who have done great work for me. I can't recommend David more highly. If you want to ask more about my experience, David can give you my phone or email.
We recently worked with David to purchase our home, and he is the BEST agent I've ever worked with. He went above and beyond his duties to help us!! He was very patient, understanding and not pushy! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
D Rosencrans - Burlington, NC 27215
David was extremely patient while we were searching for our home-a true professional that cared about and explored to find out what was truly important to us in finding that perfect home-David was never pushy but kept in touch to let us know when something came in the market that would interest us-I would recommend him to anyone looking for a home that wants an honest, hard worker as an agent-
David Carter was a gem to work with. He did everything possible to help me buy my home. He connected me with warm and caring and extremely capable individuals who treated me with respect and dignity no matter how many questions I asked. David kept me calm and positive and gave me perfect advice. I believe as a Realtor and client we were a "match made in Heaven" and I know anyone who chooses to call on him will feel the same way. Knowledgeable, professional and personable - that's David Carter.
David recently helped me purchase two investment properties. His knowledge of the home buying process and current real estate market was invaluable to my search. One of the purchases David helped me with was a short-sale. Without David's keen organizational skills and follow-up I'm sure the deal would have fallen through. He's a very straightforward and attentive agent who was never afraid to give me an honest opinion. I'll definitely be using him again!!
Friendly, knowledgeable, and patient, David worked with us until our previous house sold and we were able to find a home that we loved and could afford. Highly recommend!
John B. Greensboro, NC 27410
David helped me every step of the way and then we did our part. He helped in the beginning by suggesting things that we could do to prepare our home to make it more salable. We took his suggestions. Then he immediately came out and used a photographer who took excellent photos and then listed our home. He listed it on every available service and then he got to work, putting the efforts in like we needed it sold NOW even though we didn't. But we appreciated that because once you have decided to sell who wants to wait 6 months to a year for a buyer. We sold our home in 16 days and I believe that it was due to David and our willingness to take his suggestions. If you are looking for a team player and a coach to help you sell your home and get the most money and quick sell then David should be your agent.
When we were ready to sell our house we knew that we wanted a top rate realtor to do the job. David was recommended to my husband and I by a friend and after interviewing him and hearing his expertise and knowledge there was no question that we wanted him to help us! He was incredible and sold our house before it ever hit the market! He was always available to answer questions and negotiate for us. He is currently helping us buy our new house. We highly recommend him!
David is a kind, knowledgeable Realtor who was very helpful as we purchased a home for the first time, in an area we are only beginning to know. He had lots of great advice on everything in the buying process, from negotiation to lenders to insurance agents to contractors, and skillfully answered all of our newbie questions. We would highly recommend him to anyone!
I could not recommend a better person than David. I was a first time home buyer. David helped to find the perfect home for me. He was very knowledgeable, diligent, patient and sincere.
Ken S. Burlington, NC 27215
I have called on David's expertise many times as a real estate investor. He has provided invaluable information about the local market and how to maximize my investment dollars. He knows how to spot a good property and has been an integral part of my success. I have bought many homes throughout Alamance and Guilford counties and used David as a listing agent and a buyer's agent. he has always provided me the best service with unique insights into current market conditions.
We highly recommend David Carter and his team! From our first meeting with David to discuss the possible sale of our home, and the several months thereafter working together during our sale and the search for and purchase of our next home, David worked diligently on our behalf. We felt David was truly representing us and not the other party, and he was knowledgeable and provided honest and experienced advice and service.

We feel so fortunate to have had David’s help with finding and purchasing our first home. David was knowledgeable, patient, and flexible with us as first-time home buyers. Despite looking during a hot housing market, we were able to find a home that met all of our criteria and close without any issues. We love our home and cannot recommend David highly enough!

David is the best of the best! He has helped us on both buying and selling transactions and made both go so smoothly. When we sold our home, he helped us get under contract (and get multiple offers to choose from) in one day! David has a wealth of knowledge, not just of the industry, but also Alamance County in general. I can't say enough about his professionalism and have recommended him to friends and family.
Angie Goforth
I interviewed several realtors to sell my home in the historic district. I ultimately chose David because of his knowledge of the area and the trust I felt when speaking with him. David handled the entire sale with professionalism, answered all of my questions thoroughly and gave me guidance and advice when needed. He was quick to respond anytime I communicated with him. From our first conversation through closing, David provided expertise and care! I wholeheartedly recommend David!

Please see my comments above.
I am new to this community and felt very welcomed from the moment I walked into Allen Tate. The staff is most helpful. Everything was handled wonderfully and I was kept informed about all the details from inspections to the final meeting with the lawyer.
I am enjoying my new home at Trail One complete with space for an art studio.
Thanks to everyone on the staff and especially Ken Smith for the expertise in finding this great home.

Renee Palmer
David and his team were wonderful to work with! I have no reservations about suggesting him to anyone looking for a supportive realtor who truly goes the extra mile. Lori was great to work with, also. Both are consummate professionals.
Angelea Blanchard
Mr.Carter was the second realtor we used to sell our property in Alamance County, NC. After 6 months with our first realtor and not even an offer....Mr. Carter had our home sold to the first family he showed it to! We closed about a month after that. David and his team were professional, prompt in answering questions, and willing to go the 'extra mile' to see that my family was satisfied with the sale. I would definitely recommend David Carter to be your real estate agent.
Amy W. Mabry
I just want to send a huge THANK YOU from the bottom of mine and my husband's hearts for helping us sell our home and buy another one in record time recently due to the crazy housing market in Alamance County. You have been my friend for so many years, but the level of professionalism and knowledge and caring that you expressed during the multi-month process was amazing and made the process so less stressful. I also want to express sincere thanks to Ken and Lori whose vaulable assistance in our situation was also of notice and so very appreciated. It was refreshing to have your level of patience and understanding when we were going crazy. If anyone needs a realtor, please choose David Carter with Allen Tate Realty in Burlington as he is the BEST, BEST, BEST!!!!!
Robert Dembeck
Professional, informed, reliable, and forward-thinking are the first words that come to mind to describe David Carter. To live in upper New York State and to search for a house in North Carolina requires faith in your realtor. We had that throughout the months we worked with David to find the right—and we believe—perfect house for us.
David came to know us and our preferences well enough that we received notice of many possibilities. We gradually came to be more knowledgeable of the North Carolina real estate market and rules which are quite different from New York’s. Our first “possibility” gave him pause, and we had an inspection done before we made an offer. The results were devastating but not obvious. We did not offer. The second possibility went as far as the due diligence stage. David helped us find contractors who estimated costs for us; and then, as it appeared, once again, that the truth was being hidden, he brought someone in to inspect closely. The myriad hidden problems and the possible costs resulted in both our due diligence and down payment being returned. David Carter’s concern and professionalism is exemplary. He deeply cared about our finding the right home.
As we drove up to the house on Coveside Trail, we knew we’d found our home, and we believe David knew it too. It meets all the criteria we set out to find. His contact with Carolina bank made securing a mortgage a breeze, and the law firm that handled our purchase made the closing easy and pleasant.
Without reservation, we would recommend David Carter to anyone. Our experience working with him was wonderful.
Ann Hobgood
David Carter is the BEST!!!! The sale of my historic home in Glencoe was more complicated than most sales, and David handled every aspect of it professionally and expertly. He was very responsive to any concern or question I had, made excellent suggestions to improve the sale-ability of my home, and followed up with me frequently as I went through the process of selling and buying with him. I've bought and sold many houses over the years and I would rate David as the best realtor I have used.
Hans and Cindy Vogel
David is very knowlegdeable in his field and listens to your input. We felt that David treated us more like a friend and truly cared whether we would be happy in our new home. We would highly recommend him for any of your Real Estate needs.
The Deweys
David is amazing!!! He was patient and always had or found the answers to our questions. We don't plan to buy another home but if we did David would be the realtor we used.
Phil Davidson
I recently purchased a home in Gibsonville using David Carter. Buying a home can be a stressful experience and having a professional to guide you through the process is of the utmost importance. We were fortunate to have David be that professional. Moving from South Carolina, we were not familiar with the area. David made himself available at the drop of a hat as we were from out of town and had a limited time to search for a home.
David met with our lender on several occasions to iron out the wrinkles of a special financing plan that we were using. He stayed with us through the buying and settlement process, making recommendations for contractors we needed to make upgrades to the property. Sarah and I highly recommend David to take you through the buying process.
Angela Kalo
This was my first experience purchasing a home after my divorce. To say I was nervous would be an understatement. I went into the process thinking that I would act as my own agent. I realized quickly that if I represented myself then my client was a fool. I knew David from a friend of a friend and thought he was a hardworking, honest agent. I gave him a call and he showed me a few properties, all of which were within the guidelines I had described. He was very helpful when I was trying to decide between two homes. He guided me through the process of choosing home options that would best help me sell my home when it became time to resell. And he skillfully negotiated my deal with the seller's agent. I had such a good experience that I've recommended him to friends, some of whom have bought through him. One other plus of David is that he has introduced me to several home improvement professionals who have done great work for me. I can't recommend David more highly. If you want to ask more about my experience, David can give you my phone or email.

We recently worked with David to purchase our home, and he is the BEST agent I've ever worked with. He went above and beyond his duties to help us!! He was very patient, understanding and not pushy! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
D Rosencrans - Burlington, NC 27215
David was extremely patient while we were searching for our home-a true professional that cared about and explored to find out what was truly important to us in finding that perfect home-David was never pushy but kept in touch to let us know when something came in the market that would interest us-I would recommend him to anyone looking for a home that wants an honest, hard worker as an agent-
Michaeline P., Greensboro, NC 27410
David Carter was a gem to work with. He did everything possible to help me buy my home. He connected me with warm and caring and extremely capable individuals who treated me with respect and dignity no matter how many questions I asked. David kept me calm and positive and gave me perfect advice. I believe as a Realtor and client we were a "match made in Heaven" and I know anyone who chooses to call on him will feel the same way. Knowledgeable, professional and personable - that's David Carter.
Bill H., Greensboro, NC 27403
David recently helped me purchase two investment properties. His knowledge of the home buying process and current real estate market was invaluable to my search. One of the purchases David helped me with was a short-sale. Without David's keen organizational skills and follow-up I'm sure the deal would have fallen through. He's a very straightforward and attentive agent who was never afraid to give me an honest opinion. I'll definitely be using him again!!
Michele C., Graham, NC 27253
Friendly, knowledgeable, and patient, David worked with us until our previous house sold and we were able to find a home that we loved and could afford. Highly recommend!
John B. Greensboro, NC 27410
David helped me every step of the way and then we did our part. He helped in the beginning by suggesting things that we could do to prepare our home to make it more salable. We took his suggestions. Then he immediately came out and used a photographer who took excellent photos and then listed our home. He listed it on every available service and then he got to work, putting the efforts in like we needed it sold NOW even though we didn't. But we appreciated that because once you have decided to sell who wants to wait 6 months to a year for a buyer. We sold our home in 16 days and I believe that it was due to David and our willingness to take his suggestions. If you are looking for a team player and a coach to help you sell your home and get the most money and quick sell then David should be your agent.
Penny T., Burlington< NC 27215
When we were ready to sell our house we knew that we wanted a top rate realtor to do the job. David was recommended to my husband and I by a friend and after interviewing him and hearing his expertise and knowledge there was no question that we wanted him to help us! He was incredible and sold our house before it ever hit the market! He was always available to answer questions and negotiate for us. He is currently helping us buy our new house. We highly recommend him!
Robin A., Burlington, NC 27215
David is a kind, knowledgeable Realtor who was very helpful as we purchased a home for the first time, in an area we are only beginning to know. He had lots of great advice on everything in the buying process, from negotiation to lenders to insurance agents to contractors, and skillfully answered all of our newbie questions. We would highly recommend him to anyone!
