We were'nt sure how to go about selling our mom's house. David walked us thru it with a lot of laughter and wisdom on how to sell. It was such a great experience having him on our team. I now call him a good friend.
David VanDam was an excellent choice in my opinion. He was very attentive to our needs as sellers. He had the knowledge of the market and when it came time to sell he did an excellent job of making sure all the details were correct.
We recently bought our home in December on the lake, less than 6 months later and the empty lot next to our house went up for sale. When telling David about the lot, he worked diligently to help us obtain this. We now have been able to extend our yard and lake frontage with plenty of space for our family members, dogs, and future kids to enjoy. We couldn’t have done it without David!
If you want a realtor who genuinely puts your best interests first, work with Dave. As a first-time homebuyer, I can confidently say the process felt intimidating at times, but Dave made it feel manageable, educational, and even exciting. He never pressured me into a decision and was incredibly patient throughout the entire process, always willing to jump in and show a home whenever an opportunity came up. What stood out most was his honesty and experience. Dave would point out potential concerns or long-term issues in homes, even when it meant highlighting flaws in properties I really liked. That gave me a level of trust and confidence that is hard to find. His years in the industry clearly give him an edge, and it was obvious he truly cares about helping people find the right home, not just closing a deal. A close friend recommended Dave to me, and now I completely understand why. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in the Greater Grand Rapids area.
Dave placed this home on the GRAR listing service and the Zillow website as well. With this marketing Dave was able to provide us with 14 offers near or above our asking price. We were pleased with the final price and the closing went smoothly and quickly.
We were happy to work with David again since he was the realtor who originally represented the seller when we purchased this home 8 years ago. We first met him during an open house and ended up talking with him for nearly two hours. He was incredibly helpful, honest, and genuinely played a big role in helping us make our decision to buy the home. Our experience with him then was excellent, and it was the same again now that he represented us. He is kind, professional, and very trustworthy, and we always felt confident in his guidance throughout the process. He also has excellent communication skills and brings extensive experience in all aspects of real estate, including both buying and selling homes, which made the entire process smooth and effective. His experience really shows in how well he handles every detail. It was great working with him again, and we knew we could count on him throughout. We highly recommend David!
David is an expert in the market and was instrumental in coaching us on how to make the winning offer in a very competitive market!! He is extremely knowledgeable with what to look for in a home, what is good, what may need some work in the future and very helpful things to be aware of. His follow-up was timely, accurate and he guided us to a very quick and smooth closing. Would highly recommend him!
He helped us throughout the entire process and always kept us informed of everything and what the next step would be. I would definitely work with him again in the future. Thanks for everything!
Dave is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and never pushy. He truly listens and genuinely wants to help you find a home that fits what you’re looking for and that you’ll be happy with long term. He knows houses and the entire home-buying process inside and out, which makes everything feel much more manageable. He works hard all the time and is always responsive, even during nights and weekends. My family has trusted Dave for both buying and selling homes over the last 10 years and he has been fantastic to work with every time. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor who truly has your best interests at heart.
We appreciated David’s knowledge in the housing market and ability to be thorough when purchasing our new home. This home had many interesting circumstances and I don’t think we would have felt comfortable moving forward if David wasn’t so thorough on both the offer and protecting us as buyers. He also was extremely communicative with home warranties that we could do due to the oddities of this purchase. He truly is so organized and easy to work with each step of the way that made a very difficult process much easier. We are so thankful that we had him as our realtor looking out for our family, as if we were his own.
David VandDam helped us purchase our home as first time home buyers and we couldn’t be happier with our purchase. He truly has a passion for his career and genuinely cares about his clients. He went above and beyond to helps us. He’s extremely flexible, responds quickly, keeps you informed throughout the process, and educates you on what to expect next. He checked on us before, during and even after the home buying process. Due to his proficiency and attention to detail we had clear to close from our bank in less than 10 days. This is a phenomenal timeframe, per our loan officer. Prior to signing David went took the extra measures and his own personal time to triple check any and all paperwork prior to the signing to make sure everything was correct. David made the homebuying process as first time home buyers a lot less stressful, as he took the lead in navigating the process while ensuring efficiency and profectionism. We would recommend David to any person of any age group to use him as their realtor. As for us, we are guaranteed to use him in the future, if need be. We are extremely happy with our home, and cannot thank David enough for his honesty, integrity, hard work, family orientation and caring manner. We could not have done it without him! We whole heartedly ascertain a positive experience if you were to chose him as your realtor. Thank you David VanDam!
So thankful for David’s organized expertise in realty. From house hunting, to walk through, inspections, negotiations, and the challenging aspects that naturally accompany purchasing a home. He works with you on your specific needs and at a great pace that is obtainable. Even for a family with young kids. We truly cannot thank David enough and needed him every step of the way. Very hard worker and never misses the little details. Thank you! Thank you!
