DAVID SHOTWELL, REALTOR

I was extremely impressed with David. As I’ve told him (and I’m sure many others have), he truly has a magic about him. He has an incredible ability to step in, instantly understand what you need, and make everything feel possible, even during an otherwise stressful process. His expertise and genuine care set him apart. We felt supported every step of the way and ended up with exactly what we wanted.

I was referred to David by a mentor and friend who has an impeccable record of giving good advice. And his record is still intact. I cannot imagine buying a home without the help of David.

He was able to evaluate the pros and cons of every neighborhood and every house, listen to our endless questions and provide sound guidance tailored to our goals. I am sure that it was not always easy going on marathon viewings on a Saturday or Sunday with our twin babies in tow, waiting on us a
