If there were a 6-star rating, I would give David and Yasuko the 6-star rating. I truly recommend David and Yasuko! With David’s help we bought a house we are very happy about. Before we approached David, we knew he has had a very good track record and we felt we could count on his knowledge, resources and professionalism. It turned out David far more exceeded our expectation. David took time explaining to us the different contingencies and their ramifications. He also listened to our house search criteria and helped us narrow down the city and neighborhoods. We trusted David from the get-go guiding us through the house search process. He knows the area so well that he recommended candidly which houses to avoid and which houses we should go after. He also walked the prospective houses very carefully and gave feedback promptly. All the contracts, amendments and related documents were overwhelming to us, but David did an excellent job assisting us to maneuver through all of them, patiently answering our questions, organizing the documents for us, pointing out the important aspects, and looking for potential pitfall in the languages. This is where experience comes in – during one deal, David found some fishy language in the escrow document and the seller was not cooperative; we decided to terminate the contract to avoid potential financial obligation. David also referred us to a mortgage banker that he has a long working relationship with before we started to submit offers. By working with this mortgage banker, we were able to remove loan contingency on all of our offers, which was a huge advantage. For sure, the mortgage banker whom David recommended delivered, providing great service, securing our loan promptly and locking a good interest rate. We strongly feel David genuinely cares about his clients, and not just push to get deals done. Throughout the 9-months search, David was very patient even though we were frustrated sometimes. David was honest to voice his opposing opinion because he wanted us to think of all aspects so we would buy a house we will be happy about and not just rush through it. David’s professionalism is truly impressive. He only not represented us well to the sellers, but also worked so diligently to move things forward. There were numerous late nights that he talked to us on the phone and prepared the documents for us to sign. He even worked with us and the seller’s agent when he was on an overseas vacation. If I were to sum up our experience with David, I would say that if you are working with David, you know you are in good hands! We can’t thank you enough, David and Yasuko!
