"Where do I start? Dave is one of the best realtors around by far. I am so grateful to have had his help with the purchase of my home in Cambridge, MA. We looked at several listings within my price point and with this being my first home purchase, I was new to the experience and unsure of the process; but he was patient and very knowledgeable of the Cambridge market and made me feel at ease. He held my hand step by step throughout the process. It has been 12 years since the purchase of my home and Dave continues to check in regularly to see how things are going. Dave is not only my realtor, he is also my friend."- Lorraine S.

"We were so fortunate to have found David Wood when we decided to sell my sisters house. This house sale was extremely sensitive and comlicated due to my sister dying suddenly. As our Realtor, he helped us find the right price to sell the house. He was patient as we made decisions about the sale of the contents inside the house. This transaction took extra time due the family death. He help us contact a attorney to help with the estate sale. He was always on our side working to make our house sale simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with David he was a long time family friend so he knew us personally. I was living 2 hours away so at time it was difficult to get to the house to do certain things. Dave volunteered to help with this. He coordinated the smoke and carbon detectors inspection with the fire department. This was a big help . It eliminated a week delay in moving forward to sell the house. Overall I would highly recommend David as your realtor."- Larry L.
