DAVE GETZ WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...

Wonderful REALTOR®! Was in constant contact with us the whole time and was an expert about listing price and negotiating. We will use him again for sure. It was our first time selling a house and we weren't sure what the listing price should be. Dave researched the market and his recommendation for a listing price was perfect. We sold our house in a day and got an offer above the listing price. It was all due to Dave's knowledge.

My Wife and I recently purchased a home whereas Dave was our agent for a sale and then a new purchase.

Dave was absolutely amazing to work with! I especially appreciated his timely communication and attention to detail. Dave went above and beyond in delivering to us a home which was perfect for our family! We highly recommend Dave for anyone considering a real-estate transaction! Thanks again, Dave for everything!

I gave Dave Getz the most difficult task. I asked him to find me a home in a sellers market, in a desired area and at an affordable price. He not only found me the perfect home, he helped me structure a deal that ended up beating out 15 other offers! I don’t believe I would be writing this review from the home of my dreams without his expertise. He was incredibly knowledgeable and kept me informed throughout the process. I know this is cliche to say but he really made me feel like I was his only client which I know was not the case. If you are looking for a REALTOR® that will get it done I highly recommend Dave Getz.
