Dave Eaton

I wrote the catchy title because as Dave will tell you when you ask him what time it is he will tell you how to build a watch. This was not my first time buying a home but as it turned out the houses we made offers on all came with challenges that I have never experienced before. For me, I really do want to know how things work even if it is not my area of expertise. During the search for our home we learned everything about pools, screened enclosures, fire ants, restrictions regarding watering lawns, well and septic systems. It was a seller's market when we bought and we were looking at homes with Dave through facetime. As such, we really needed to rely on someone like Dave to be our eyes, ears, mouth and nose during the whole process. Trust me, there were times when things didn't smell right. I have dealt with a lot of Realtors over my lifetime and a lot of them are really not impressive. However, Dave has an background that precludes his years in Real Estate that benefit every potential buyer and for that matter a seller in Real Estate. He met with all of our inspectors not on one house but two There were times when someone would inspect something and Dave would let us know if the inspection went well or not. There was a time in which we were under contract to buy a house and the Septic Drain Field appeared to be damaged The first inspector said it should be fine. However, Dave's instinct told him it was probably more serious and advised me to get a second opinion. That second opinion saved me upwards of $18,000 that I would have had to pay after I would have bought the home as it turned out the Septic Drain Field had a leak and could take six to eight weeks to fix. So here is my bottom line. If you want to deal with a Realtor who is truly concerned about your wants, needs, and questions, then Dave is the Realtor for you.

We have worked with Dave on the rental of a house which turned into a sale, always pleased with his friendly and professional demeanor and approach of getting the job done!

My husband and I were fortunate to encounter Dave Eaton at an open house in February 2020 and thus began a lengthy house hunting process when we relocated to the Jacksonville area from the Midwest. Braving numerous viewings, price and condition discussions, statistical market analyses, not to mention the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in the middle of it all, Dave was endlessly patient, professional and generous with his time. He was always available when we wanted to see a home and came prepared with all pertinent information. When we found a home and needed to finalized the agreement, conduct the inspections and resolve any issues that arose, Dave was a tireless advocate for us. In the end, we truly feel we would not have successfully concluded our deal if it were not for Dave. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a true real estate professional.
