I can’t thank you enough for making the process of selling my house as painless as possible! I’ve learned a lot, that’s for sure, and I owe most of that to your openness and willingness to share information! I’ll keep you in mind if I ever need to buy a house, and I’m passing your name to everyone who even mentions selling or buying to me in Minnesota! Stay warm over the next few nights, and stay dry over the weekend–they’re saying another bout of snow on Saturday is coming or way! Thanks for everything!”

“David Meyer did a superb job in assisting me with the purchase of my first home. He is professional, knowledgeable and he supported me through the whole process of buying my home. Everything went so smooth, I could not be happier with his service! I strongly encourage anyone buying a home to contact David! Thanks for everything, James.”

- James, West St. Paul MN

"I would absolutely recommend David! He helped us find our first home (a triplex) and was extremely patient and responsive. We looked at a crazy number of properties (close to 50) with David over 6 months. He was consistently patient and cheerful with us. We really felt like he wanted to be sure we found the right one, no matter how long it took. More than once he met us within hours of a property coming on the market that we decided we wanted to see. Since we were looking at an investment property, it was great to have David's expertise in that area. During showings, he would point out ways we could increase value and share tips from his past experiences owning and remodeling investment properties. Even after the sale closed, we've asked David questions and he has remained very helpful. We love our new (really old) house!”
"
- Alexis, Minneapolis MN
"
David was awesome. He was very professional and honest in his approach. He helped us understand exactly what needed to be done to get our house sold for the most money, in the least amount of time. The first offer came in one hour and fifteen minutes after we hit the market. That was the one we ended up accepting as it was well above our list price. His pre-marketing strategy worked like a charm as we had 40 showings and eight offers within the first three days. He stayed with us through the entire process to make sure we closed on time with no hassles. I highly recommend David as an agent.

Sally was really helpful as a first time home buyer. I had a ton of questions and she would always provide a thorough answer within the hour.
I never felt any pressure to look at more places, make offers, etc. which was beneficial for me to help relieve some of the uncertainty of the process for someone who hadn't been through it.
