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 was a pleasure to work with as a first time homebuyer. He hosted an initial consultation where he went over the details of the homebuying process, costs to be aware of, and everything a first time homebuyer would need to know before beginning the process. Once we started the search he was responsive and helpful at answering all of our questions. We followed his advice during the negotiation period and the first offer we put in on our dream home was accepted! I would highly recommend him to anyone and especially to first time homebuyers! I know if we ever decide to leave this home he will be the first person we call!
David Mount is an incredible agent! My husband and I were buying AND selling at the same time. He was incredibly responsive with questions we had and with relaying details. When it came to finding a home we liked, he was quick in gathering details and when applicable, drew up offers within a couple of hours (if that). We had had a previous agent before that wasn't selling our home not to mention uncommunicative, and frankly not up to date with the processes. We hired David and he sold it in less than 5 days and we turned around and bought a dream home not long after. He took what was a highly stressful time and made it feel seamless and easy. My husband and I would AND will recommend David to anyone who is thinking of buying/selling.
David made selling our home a very pleasant experience. He took a challenging timeline, provided great strategy and guidance, and delivered excellent results. He quickly identified a variety of items that would ensure our property would show well and sell quickly without demanding that we spend money on updates that we might not see in return from the sale. David went above and beyond to get the best offer possible for our home. He was always available to work with us and prospective buyers. He organized all the offers and walked us through all the details so that we could make the best selection possible. Once we were under contract, David worked well with the buyer to ensure a smooth closing process. We are sad to leave our first home behind but thrilled with the position we are in as we move onto the next chapter in our lives. We owe much of that to David.
