"David Greene recently helped my husband and me with the sale of our home.
David is professional, knowledgeable, and very kind. He went out of his way
to get the house sold quickly and above asking price. David also helped me
to buy the house several years ago. As a first time buyer and seller, I had
a lot of questions. David was very patient and gave us a lot of helpful
advice." - Lerryn S.
★★★★★
"David is thorough, professional, and knowledgeable. He took time to get to
know my husband and I so he could be a partner in our home buying decision.
I would definitely recommend him for all of your real estate needs!" - Phyllis R.
★★★★★
"David was extremely helpful during my home buying process, especially as a
first-time buyer. He was a resource for any questions I had big or small
and made me feel informed and comfortable at every step. I couldn't have
imagined a smoother experience even while navigating all the unknowns of
the Covid pandemic. I would recommend David 100%." - Matt S.
★★★★★
"I had been thinking about buying for a few years and finally decided to
take the leap and I'm so glad I did. David and his team were an absolute
dream to work with during this process. Some of the things I found so great
about him was how quickly he responded, how knowledgeable he was about the
market and purchasing process and how effortless it all felt. As a first
time homebuyer, I also loved that he had trusted contacts (loan
managers/attorney/insurance agent/painters/contractors/etc.) that I was
able to work with. Using the Compass app made it really easy to keep tabs
on properties that I liked and helped David and I work together to find the
right home. Will absolutely work with David again when the time
comes." - Joseph S.
★★★★★
"David represented me in a purchase and sale and exemplifies some of the most important traits in a real estate agent. He has integrity, community expertise, in-depth market knowledge, effective negotiation skills, and a high-quality professional network. At the end of the day though, what it all this boils down to is that he is an agent who knows how to get the deal done. I highly recommend David if you are looking to purchase or sell real estate in the Chicago area." - Sarah S.
★★★★★
"David is a pleasure to work with. He helped me find a great first in an amazing location and has been a huge help to friends and family too. He has a background in construction, so he has an eye quality and knows exactly what to look when walking through a home. This is crucial in a market like Chicago where there are houses spanning over 100 years of age. Speaking of Chicago, David knows the city extremely well and has a vast amount of knowledge of the different neighborhoods. He is an excellent communicator and responds to all of your questions and concerns almost immediately! Perhaps David's greatest quality is that he truly cares his clients and goes out of his way to make sure their needs are met and exceeded. If you're looking to buy, sell, or in the greater Chicago area, I am certain David will be able to help." - Jack K.
★★★★★
"David was an incredible help during our home buying process. He helped us manage the search from afar. As first-time home buyers, we had numerous questions and he was always available. When our lender was slow with the process, he was quick to make sure what was needed got done." - Nick K.
★★★★★
"I cannot say enough good things about David. From our first meeting, I felt very well represented in the buying process. He has extensive knowledge of the various Chicago neighborhoods and was very attentive to my needs and desires. His property recommends were spot on and he is a wealth of information, as regards additional services one might need such as plumbers, painters, movers, etc. If I ever decide to sell, he will be the very first person I . Highly recommend." - Lea Ann G.
★★★★★
"David is excellent! To sum it up, he's on it. David and I met a year ago during an in Kenwood. I wasn't ready to buy at the time but exchanged info with David since he gave me good vibes. Fast forward to a year later I completely forgot I connected with David and started the home buying process with another realtor. The first realtor didn't work out and neither did the second. While having a glass of wine midday (bc I needed it) I randomly remembered connecting with David and searched my email thread to see if I could find his . To my surprise, David contacted me several times and the rest is history. We found a place I love and I'm officially a homeowner! David has a strong network that can assist with the entire process (contractors, decor recommendations, etc,). I highly recommend partnering with David." - Jillian W.
