We started the process of listing our house before shelter in place and never anticipated the process would get too challenging in a neighborhood where homes sell like clockwork with multiple offers and way over asking. Of course that all changed in a hot minute!
There are plenty of realtors in the area but there is only one Dave. We chose him not simply because he's the top agent but because of his personal attention to working with the clients and his accountability to do right by his clients. We created a brand new strategy to list and price a property in a time when open houses couldn't happen and Dave was able to move lighting fast to help us prepare our house to be ready to sell. Dave understands that timing matters and you have to stay nimble to be positioned for anything that comes up. While the playbook evolved it never felt like we were hoping and guessing. Dave leveraged all of his experience to help us get things done. And a few days later, without any headache Dave presented us a non-contingent offer that was too easy to say yes to.
We've since recommended Dave to multiple families considering a sale and would use him again without question. He was always available and was incredibly well thought out in how he uniquely approaches each situation. It also felt great to work with Dave and not get lost in some massive support team. 2020
Dave and his team are super responsive, competent and always upbeat. The processes of buying and selling a house can be extremely nerve wracking, and Dave and the DHT (Dave Higgins Team) were always available to soothe our frazzled nerves and to help solve problems (even the imaginary ones). They provided comprehensive service, from planning how to stage the house and landscape the yard, to when to list the property, to how to think about the offers we received, to how to avoid going crazy in the process. I enthusiastically recommend Dave and the DHT to anyone thinking of buying or selling a house. 2018
Dave and Amy were super knowledgeable about the market and positioned us well to make a winning bid. They were a pleasure to work with -- super nice, communicative and flexible. As a first time home-buyer in a super competitive market, it could've been a really stressful experience, but working with them made it seem easy! 2018
When we first called Dave to discuss possibly listing our house, we didnt know anything about him except that he had sold many houses in the neighborhood quickly and for well over asking. I remember he was driving but he pulled off the road to talk. I liked that he didnt let his calls roll into voicemail, which was indicative of his work ethic. At this point, we had already interviewed 3 other realtors that we knew from a few years back (and whose work we admired) and were close to making a decision so my call to Dave was almost an after-thought, but our first conversation put him front and center in the running. It was the way he expressed appreciation for the call and his attentiveness during the conversation that set him apart. He was obviously successful due to his sale record, but he did not have a shred of ego about him. He was earnest in pursuing the work, showed great attention to details with his questions and was both respectful and personable. His humility, attention to detail and fun personality would remain consistent throughout our collaboration. In addition, Dave had quite a talent for knowing exactly what needed to be done to present our house in the best light and was quite ambitious in his vision for the house, despite the fact that his ambitious plans would require a lot of work on his part. In this, he was again unique. He just seemed genuinely excited about the house transformation and confident about its success, which was both infectious and reassuring. I cant say there werent bumps on the road given the scale of the prep work, the tight timeline and the numerous contractors involved, but Daves commitment to the vision, his coolness under pressure and his ability to diffuse conflicts and resolve issues made it easier. Throughout the process, he made client service a priority and strived to exceed our expectations and we appreciated that much. 2018
Of all the realtors I've worked with Dave is the BEST - both in marketing and negotiating the best sale price. I've sold several houses and found other realtors good at one but not the other. Dave was flawless at both driving potential buyers to the property and not leaving any money on the table. He (and his team) also excelled at managing getting the house ready for sale. He was extremely responsive and willing to handhold when we needed it. Can't recommend him highly enough. 2017
