Testimonials

During the five real estate transactions in which David Mount has represented me, he has made money for me, saved me from spending too much money, and made sure that I got a home that I said that I “had” to have.
David is a real estate agent with a unique set of skills and intellect that sets him apart from the average “desk jockey” who is staring at a computer screen looking at photos of homes and moving around numbers. He puts his feet on the ground, talks to people, and gets deals done.
Over the past 30 years, I have probably worked with at least 15 real estate agents in buying or selling homes – either for investment purposes or as a personal home for my family. David is as good as they get. He has that unusual combination of both ethics and shrewdness, that allows him to intuit what the other side wants and make sure that we can agree on a number without spending, or giving up, more than we want.
As an example, when I was buying a condominium, the inspection report came back with a short, but substantial list of items that would be nice to have repaired. I told David that I would be satisfied if he could get a price reduction of $5,000 as a concession. He said, “I think I can get you $10,000.” And he did!
In another instance, David showed me a house that had come on the market that day and was exactly what I was looking for. I told him that I wanted it, but that I wasn’t thrilled about paying full price. He said that it is hard to negotiate a price down when you are the first person to look at a home, but let him chat with the agent to understand the seller’s motivations. THAT is why I started working with David in the first place! He came into a home that I had for rent to show the place for his clients. He made such an impression on me with his people skills – both with me on the other side of the table, and with his own clients – that I decided I wanted him on my team for the next real estate deal. Anyway, we did end up presenting an offer on the home that I liked and were under contract in 3 days. And we did NOT pay full price. And both seller and buyer (me!) were happy at the end of the transaction.
Whether you are buying or selling a home, I wouldn’t hesitate to choose David Mount to help navigate what can be a complex process. David knows what he is doing, and he never loses sight of what he needs to do to make the best deal for his clients.

David is a highly competent and professional Realtor. Every step of the process on selling my home went smoothly and seamlessly. David and his team kept the lines of communication open every step of the way. Highly recommended!

We had initially planned to do FSBO, but decided we needed an expert to help us sell our house during Coronavirus. David was the perfect agent for our home sale! We had several delays during the process (not his fault), and he navigated them with calm assurance. He advised us on all points of negotiation, and we got $10K over our asking price! His low-key personality and prompt replies to questions made it easy and pleasant, and we are so glad we used him as our agent!

As a first time homebuyer, David helped get me up to speed and was very good at setting expectations along with educating me about the entire homebuying process. He moved at my pace and had patience as I figured out what kind of home I wanted. He has a very good pulse on the market, and provided great insight as we viewed homes in different areas to ensure I found something I'd be happy in. Working with him made the entire process smooth and despite the competitive market I am now a happy homeowner in Centreville, VA thanks to his efforts!

David was great to work with. We were in search of a home with pretty strict criteria and showed up to the area late last year. The market was very challenging and homes weren't sticking around long. David worked with us to give us the best strategy to get what we wanted, and with his help, we landed a home that checked all the boxes. We beat out 4 other offers in the process! His positivity, responsiveness, and understanding of the market were also big factors in making this process a success.

David patiently explained to us how to sell our condo in order for us to be able to buy our first home. The process worked out as he explained.
We listed our condo on a Thursday and we received 3 offers over the weekend. We accepted an offer above list on our condo within 5 days of listing.
From there, we turned our attention buying our first home. David patiently showed us 5 homes.
We ranked our choices and made an offer on our 1 choice. David provided amazing advice with respect to preparing our offer. Our offer was accepted within 2 days.
We've known David ever since we first purchased our condo about 4 years ago and we've been referring our friends to him ever since. We are very happy to recommend him.
