"David Goad is an exceptional real estate agent that is extremely focused on taking care of people! His knowledge of the market is very top of the line than anyone in the area. He is decisive and has an elite level of attention to detail which are top notch qualities I look for!"
"We had an amazing experience with David Goad! From start to finish everything happened quickly and efficiently! David got us an all cash offer, well over asking price on the first day it was listed! We closed in two weeks! If you want a wonderful realtor to get the job done then Go With Goad!"
"Dave is the absolute best! This is my third home he has helped me find. He is very personable, kind, patient, knowledgeable and more. There is nobody else I would choose time and time again to help me with finding my next place to call home! As always GO WITH GOAD!"
"Mr Goad was extremely helpful in getting my wife and I our first house. We did not know anything about getting a house and he made the process very simple for us. Will be going back to him if we move."
"I had the absolute best experience working with David Goad! From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about helping me find my first home. He was always available to answer questions, guide me through the process, and make things as smooth as possible. His attention to detail, honesty, and dedication truly set him apart. I couldn't be more grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!"
"David was incredible in helping me find a condo quickly. As a first-time buyer, I appreciated how seamless and stress-free he made the process. He was patient, always available, and truly went above and beyond. I highly recommend him!"
"We had an amazing experience with David! We sent him a home on Saturday and had our offer accepted on Monday. It was the first house we looked at and offered on. This was our first time buying a house and he made sure to explain the whole process and kept us in the loop about everything. The whole process couldn't have gone any smoother! You can tell he truly cares about his clients. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!"
"To start off, my wife and I made the horrible choice of not using Dave from the start. We both decided to try our luck with another realtor who unfortunately did not seem to care about selling our house. He came in with an iPhone and listed our house with a ONE sentence description. After our house sat on the market for 1 week with ZERO showings or interests we knew it was time to make a change. That's when we contacted Dave. We unlisted our house and Dave came in with a professional photographer and videographer. 3 days later our house was listed back on the market. The pictures were stunning and the pride and detail he put into the description was amazing. Within 1 hour of it being listed Dave called me with news that he had 2 separate buyers interested in a showing that night! 12 hours later we accepted an offer 15k over what we were asking. Dave doesn't just do his job to the standard. He goes above and beyond for his clients. He actually cares about selling your home and the effort he puts in is amazing. My wife and I cannot thank him enough. We both highly recommend Dave for either selling or buying."
"Dave is truly exceptional. From start to finish, he was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to patiently explain every step of the process to make sure I was confident and informed. He was more than willing to accommodate my schedule which meant that often times he would meet with me in the evenings or early hours. He consistently made sure I was comfortable with every decision, providing available options, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. His professionalism, kindness, and calm demeanor set him apart. I'm grateful for his tireless guidance and work, and highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."
"We've worked with several different agents amongst buying and selling multiple houses over the years. This time, we were looking to buy in Michigan, but still residing in Texas and we felt so comfortable with Dave. Not only did we get a great deal on a house, but we trusted Dave to show us homes via Facetime and we signed a Purchase Agreement before even seeing the house in-person. Through the process Dave showed his skills and expertise in the real estate space especially with so many unpredictable variables. He went over and mowed the lawn of the home we put in an offer on because the Seller wasn't going to and Dave wanted to be sure our inspector didn't miss a thing. DO NOT HESITATE to reach out to Dave if you are in the market to buy or sell."
"I've had the pleasure of working with David on multiple occasions, both buying and selling homes, and I can confidently say he's an exceptional realtor. He provides invaluable advice on staging and preparing a home for the market, ensuring it's ready to attract the right buyers quickly. What truly sets David apart is his patience, engagement, and accessibility. He genuinely cares about his clients' success and satisfaction. His knowledge on the market and how best to present your home is second to none."
"We worked with David in 2019 to sell our first home to upgrade to a larger home with property. We had multiple viewings and offers on our house within the first few days of it hitting the market! Meanwhile, we got a same day accepted offer when we found our new home! The whole process was seamless. I've known David since we were kids and recommend him to anyone I know in the buying or selling process! You won't be disappointed!"
"David helped me and my girlfriend purchase our first home and he made the process so simple and fast! Him and his team stayed in contact with both of us every step of the way and made what is a stressful process in this day and age fun and easy. The thing that really stands out is David has reached out after the move to check in multiple times and makes sure things are going smoothly for us. He truly cares about his clients and wants to help. He spent many hours with us talking and explaining the process to us in great detail so everything would go perfect and it did."
"Dave has been the best realtor a person could ask for! He is super knowledgeable and always does what's best for his clients. He doesn't pressure you or question decision making, rather he is there as a guide to help you through every step along the way. He is super transparent and won't sugar coat things when he needs to — straight up and honest. He will also give the shirt off his back to make sure the client is happy and gets the best treatment/experience throughout the entire process. If you need help purchasing a home, go with Goad!"
"In June of 2023 while living in Missouri we were referred to David Goad to help us find a home in the down river area of Michigan. He immediately started sending us pictures and information on several homes that met our requirements."
"I had the pleasure of working with David Goad, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From the very beginning, David understood my needs and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. His expertise in the local market is unmatched. I highly recommend David Goad to anyone looking for a professional, trustworthy, and results-driven realtor. Five stars all the way!"
"I'm a first time homebuyer. Dave was incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire process from start to finish. He answered all my questions with knowledge and honesty with regards to what to look for when viewing homes. He explained every step of the process and simplified everything as much as possible. He's very dedicated and was always prompt with his responses. I never had to wait for anything. He's the best! I would highly recommend him and will definitely work with him again."
"David and his team helped me and my fiancé buy our first home! They were super quick and very helpful as it was a stressful time trying to find the perfect home but they made it so easy. David is amazing and made everything super smooth."
"Dave did an incredible job listing and selling our home after less than 24hrs on the market. He's communicative, personable, and awesome at what he does! 10/10 recommend!"
"Buying a home is a huge deal, especially as a first-time homebuyer. I tend to overthink every little detail, but David was there to answer every question, no matter how detailed or repetitive. He made the entire process smooth for my husband and me. It truly felt like we had a friend helping us find a home rather than someone we had just met a week prior. I genuinely believe David had our best interests in mind throughout the process. We started looking at houses on a Friday, and by the next day, our offer was accepted on a home we loved! I have no doubt this was because David knew exactly what we needed to offer to secure the deal, saving us from months of stressful bidding wars. He was always available via call or text whenever we needed advice, and even after closing, he followed up to ensure everything was going well. David was honest with us, even when it required tough conversations, and that honesty made all the difference. I don't usually write reviews, but he deserves more praise than I could ever put into words."
"David was fantastic to work with from start to finish. The true definition of "over delivering." I could not be happier with David and his team. I would definitely recommend David for anyone that is buying or selling a home."
"My husband and I would recommend David to all of our friends and family. He is so easy to communicate and work with. He made buying our first home seem so easy and was always making sure we understood everything throughout the process. Highly recommend!"
"David did an outstanding job helping find my first home. He starts out getting to know you on a personal level (which is awesome) before finding your dream home. He is very good at his craft, and I recommend him to anyone that crosses paths with him."
"David did an outstanding job helping us get our dream house in a tough market. He was very attentive, patient, and always had our best interests in mind (never tried pushing a sale). He has a great knowledge of the SE Michigan area, not only the real estate market but also information on different cities/townships, school districts, etc. David was also able to recommend other professionals (lender, home inspector, etc.) that really helped make the process as smooth as possible!"
