DAVID JENKINS

David was a pleasure to work with in every way. We were fortunate to begin working with him several months before we listed our home for sale. He listened to us closely and we took his advice and performed the suggested repairs and updates before listing our home. The end result was 5 offers on the first day we listed our home. The worst of which was full asking price. We could not have anticipated this result as this home sat on the market for two years before we bought it. We were sad to sell and leave our home but working with David made it a little easier.

He was wonderful! I live six hours from the property so it was difficult for me to be there for inspection, repairs, cleaning and so on. He was present for everything I needed which was nice and convenient. The sale was a stress free sale. If he was in Charlotte I would have him sell a couple more of my properties.

David Jenkins provided an ideal level of support and assistance in helping us repair and upgrade our home for a quick sale. The painters and carpet company he suggested provided excellent service at prices I could not even find as an individual. Adding the input from a professional decorator for colors and finishes at his expense made the project first class in appearance and increased appeal to the buyers. I couldn't have asked for more and appreciate his experience and knowledge of the real estate market locally.

David first met with us several months before we sold. We knew we would need to update the house, and he (and a stager he recommended) provided insightful input on what to renovate, how to renovate it for best market appeal - and on what we shouldn't bother doing. He corresponded or met with us regularly to update on the market situation, and helped us decide on what the right time and price for market entry were. We ended up choosing late February to sell - not an intuitive choice, but we tusted David and his feeling for the pulse of the local housing situation. Our house sold in 3 days, at higher than asking price due to multiple offers. Some of this might have been luck, but I think most of the credit goes to David. He was so in touch with the market, and had so carefully strategized how we were going to do thing, and it payed off big-time. In addition to his excellent professional attributes, David is incredibly nice to work with: smart, articulate, charming and funny. We're looking forward to staying touch with him. Summary: David is the best realtor we've worked with or seen. He's really good at advance planning and strategy for selling, has a great intuition for the market and optimal listing date/price, and he's delightful to work with. Couldn't recommend him more highly!

We contacted David after reading some reviews on Angie's list. He responded quickly and we got in touch very soon after. Our situation is a little difficult because we had to move quickly abroad and wanted someone we can trust and had a great reputation. We got everything we were looking for. First Davis provided some input how to present the house including a designer. After putting everything together what was recommended David took some beautiful pictures inside and outside of our house. When he put the house on market we got 3 offers within 24-48h, what was quiet shocking considering it was in October. Now the closing was in December, we moved in November to Europe. But it wasn't a big deal. David took care of everything, all the documents, the necessary inspections and services requested by the buyer. I can not imagine having someone better then him. Overall, if you are looking for someone who knows to sell a house the best way possible David is the right person to talk to! If we ever come back to NC, there is doubt who we will hire to buy or sell a house again. Thanks David!

David helped me through all of the details of selling my house and spent quite a bit of time explaining the process. He brought in a staging expert to guide us in arranging furniture and removing clutter. It was listed only a total of 3 days before going under contract.

David was all that we could have hoped for in a real estate agent and more. In our opinion, he went well above and beyond the call of duty in advising us on how to prepare our house for sale, working with inspectors and contractors to perform needed repairs and recommended improvements, researching the market, helping us set a fair price (which was more than we originally hoped for), photographing our house to its best advantage, showing it to potential buyers, negotiating with the eventual buyer once a contract was signed, and closing the sale. Based largely on his expert recommendations and prep work, the house sold the first day it was on the market fand closed five weeks later without a hitch. Not only did he provide excellent professional service, he was a constant, calm reassurance all along the way. When we are ready to purchase another house in the Triangle area, David is most definitely the first person that we will call.

He was a phenomenal realtor for helping us sell our home in South Durham. He's a go-getter, and uses many tools and networking to do his homework and know the market, costs, and homes on the market. He helped us sell our house in a month because of his impeccable skills. He knows the Durham market well. He also gave us great advice on what we should and should not do to the house to improve the marketability, within our budget, and he took professional photos himself for marketing. He also was extremely responsive, always within 24 hours. We HIGHLY recommend him.

We found Dave on Angie's List and quickly realized that the accolades he earned from his previous customers are true and totally deserved. Dave was responsive, working with us remotely and making himself available whenever we could get to the area for house hunting. When we decided to build, he slogged through the rain to walk open lots for us. He demonstrated real creativity in providing the data we needed to make decisions from a thousand miles away. He even found a video resource who used a drone to record the layout of our lot (the video had music!). He made videos of houses showing us features we might incorporate into our own design. Dave is a very smart man and a very good person. He listens carefully and pulls on his extensive knowledge of the area to generate options. As we moved through the process, we found that we were not his only fans. He is deeply respected in the community for his integrity as well as his good humor and good sense. We got the house we wanted at the price we wanted to pay in the location we had picked. Dave Jenkins helped us put it all together. He's an AWESOME ALLY to have on your side: He knows the area, he knows the market, he knows the business, and he knows people. He is the champion you want on your team.

David was absolutely great to work with. We told him the kind of house and what we were comfortable in terms of price and he found us the perfect kind of house at the exact price range we wanted. He explained every step of the process and spent quality time not only showing us the houses but discussing the pros/cons of each for now and for the future.All in all we saw about 40 houses before we found ours. At one point we were willing to spend more but David kept us on track and we bought at our initial price range. We are completely blown away by his responsiveness ;he would respond in a short timeframe even at odd hours. We are extremely happy with the whole process and the fact that he listened and understood what exactly we wanted in our house. He helped us with finding reliable service providers we needed through the whole process and worked with us through all our constraints . He followed up even after the closing to make sure we had everything we required . We would use him again in a heartbeat for any other real estate transaction we might have.

David deftly guided us through the process of selling my mom's house. He is smart, hardworking and easy to work with. He has a network of painters, electricians, etc, and their work was high quality, timely and reasonably priced. We are so pleased with his work and are very glad we chose him. There is not one single thing about David's involvement that we could quibble with. We recommend him highly and would use him again in the future in a heartbeat!

We might have had some doubts about the necessity of having a realtor involved in selling a home but not anymore. David has been so incredibly helpful that we will not hesitate to call him again and recommending him to others is a pleasure. David met with us the very afternoon that we called him; he had excellent advice for what we needed to do to get our home ready for showing and there was no pressure to list immediately. His recommendations for an inspector, roofer & handyman were all excellent as was his staging advice. When we did list with David he took some wonderful professional photos, which garnered 12 showings in 2 1/2 days and by the end of the 3rd day we had a great offer. Throughout the process David has been supportive, professional & fun to work with; who knew selling your house could be fun! Our sale went through so quickly that we did not have time to find what we wanted to buy but we're renting & David is looking for the right property for us - we have no doubt he'll find it.

David is hands down the best realtor I've ever worked with. He told me openly and honestly what price he thought we could get for my townhouse and that it would sell in a month. We got it under contract within 3 weeks. Even then he continued to show the property to try to secure a back up offer on it! I bought at the peak of the market so I had to make concessions on the price, he was open and honest about it. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell!

David was the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. He was extremely responsive, professional and knowledgeable. He responded quickly to all of my emails and text messages, displayed great attention to detail, and has an extensive network of skilled contractors. He was a true problem solver. Due to his experience in the real estate market, my house sold very quickly for the asking price. I highly recommend him.

We were relocating across the country to Durham and also buying our first home. To say that the process was overwhelming for us is an understatement. Thank goodness we found David. He is experienced, incredibly knowledgeable, honest, realistic and supportive. Before we would even step inside a house, he would point out issues with roofs, windows, siding, the quality of the AC units, etc. He would even get into the crawl space and look around! He would then do the same thing inside noting issues with the layout, kitchen design, bathrooms, possible interior renovations, etc. When we found "the" house, he jumped right on it, calling the seller's realtor right then and there and determining our chances at beating out another offer. Thanks to his skill and advice, we were under contract in less than 24 hours! But he doesn't stop there: he has recommendations for inspectors, contractors, HVAC techs, etc. He will give you a few names so that you don't feel pressured to use a particular person. I checked out all of his "favorites" on Angie's List and found that they too had ?A? ratings here and top reviews elsewhere. He also connected us with outstanding lawyers and an excellent mortgage broker. Thanks to David and everyone he recommended our cross country purchase went off without a glitch. We can?t recommend him highly enough.

I had many fears about buying a house after hearing friend's and co-worker's horror stories for years, all while we were renting. David was extremely professional and able to walk us through the entire process top to bottom, every step of the way. Not only was he knowledgeable about home buying, but he was able to talk us through the mortgage, the home inspection, pros/cons of various home construction materials, and even how he would do a repair/improvement if it was his home. At no point did my wife and I ever dread meeting with our realtor, because David was so fun to work with. What most impressed me about David was how willing he was to go out of his way to help us, and I'm not just talking about finding a house and filling out paper work. On two occasions, with almost no notice, he was willing to drive across town just to let both sets of our parents into the house pre-closing so they could see it while they were in town. After closing, I asked him about a wood pile in my backyard that had magically appeared (the seller created day OF closing). David was kind enough to grab his station wagon and move the entire wood pile for me while I was at work. Would easily recommend to anyone.

Has gone above and beyond what was expected in a realtor. He is the best, would highly recommend him whether buying or selling a home. A true professional

David informed me from the start that he did not work on commercial properties...he only did residential. However, he was eager to help me and asked me to wait a couple of days while he researched a few commercial realtors for me that specialized in the business I was in. Two days later he emailed me a list of 3-4 different commercial brokers who had specializations in what I was in. He evidently made a few calls and collected this information for me. He was incredibly helpful to me. He owed me nothing but he went out of his way to insure I got connected with someone reputable. If I ever sell my house, he'll get my listing.

From start to finish, David was extremely meticulous, honest, vigorous, punctual, and available at all hours of the day and night - and even on his vacation. A lot of realtors say they work hard, and many of them probably do, but you had first hand evidence that David was working very hard for you! (while simultaneously juggling 8-9 other clients (if I recall correctly - it may have been more)) Not that you should call him at all hours, but we would get emails from him at 2:00 am and then again at 5:30 am! He knows the system in and out and very thoroughly answers all your questions patiently and respectfully. I would say that having David work for you was almost like have your own attorney by your side. He was particularly adept with his Ipad and PDF expert program which allowed him to carefully track and send all the documents electronically - quickly! The whole process was relatively smooth and in several instances, we took David's advice based on his statistics of certain occurrences and we were glad we did! A side note, the ~$24,000 fee was based on a 6% sale commission, split in half between the buyers and sellers realtors.

I honestly cannot say enough great things about David. My husband and I were moving from No. Virginia to Chapel Hill, NC and we were in the market for our very first home. We sent him an email introducing ourselves, and our basic needs. He responded promptly that afternoon. After a few email exchanges we felt that David was the guy for us. He was prompt, thorough, knowledgeable, responsive, informative and most of all FUN! He showed us lots of homes that met our criteria until we found the one that we loved. I am known for asking lots of questions. He was a delight for putting up with me, and gracefully helping us through the process. I always felt like I knew what stage of the game we were at, and what was coming next. Then came the fun part...negotiations. David was a dream at negotiations, and we ended up with an amazing house and an even better deal. For an agent that is as busy as he is, I never once felt like we were second hand to anything. David will be the first person I call, and recommended, when it comes to buying or selling a house.

From start to finish David was there with solutions for every problem. Anything we needed done, he had fantastic recommendations for who to call - always great people and great prices too. David works tirelessly, often sleeping very little, making sure his clients are taken care of. He answers text, emails, and phone calls almost immediately no matter the time. If he doesn't know the answer, he will get it, and quickly. He spent countless hours helping us get our house ready for sale, and then helping us search for houses far and wide in the triangle. Thanks to his advice on paint, repairs, and staging our home sold very quickly in spite of it being on a huge hill and having older HVAC and roof. He is also very up to date technology wise, and can have you sign whatever needs signing right from your living room if need be. David was also great with our kids, friendly and patient even when they were worn out from seeing so many houses. Even now, after closing, he is still answering questions and helping us settle in. Our family found not only a great realtor in David Jenkins, but also a good friend. Whether you are looking to buy or to sell, call David. You will not regret it!

David Jenkins is by far the best realtor/broker we have ever worked with. Mr. Jenkins patiently helped us for over a year in searching countless properties for our home purchase. He was incredibly responsive to our requests to view homes, and spent dozens of hours with us going through multiple properties. He also has tremendous expertise with the business and legal aspects of real estate in North Carolina. If you are in a real estate negotiation, Mr. Jenkins is most certainly the person you want on your side (I rather pitied sellers agents, as they were definitely outgunned!). His instincts for making offers were spot on; when he advised us to hold tight on an offer, he was invariably right. We went under contract on one home, which turned out to have serious problems with the septic system. Mr. Jenkins was able to negotiate return of our earnest money and half of our due diligence fee. At closing for our final home purchase, Mr. Jenkins was able to go through the documents line by line and explain everything to us--his explanation was better than the lawyers! I would not hesitate to recommend him, and we are incredibly grateful for his professionalism, his expertise, and his masterful skills in negotiation.

Excellent! David exceeded our expectations at every step of the home-buying process. My wife and I moved from Ohio to North Carolina last year, and rented a Condo while we got to know the area. When we felt the time was right to purchase our first home, we found David Jenkins on Angie's List and gave him a call. He answered the call that day and then spent hours with us that evening explaining the home-buying process and answering all of our questions/concerns. The next day, he picked us up and we went and looked at several different homes (including ones that were not even on our list). Over the next couple of weeks, David was there every step of the way as we found our dream home, picked a lender, set up inspections, selected a moving company, and everything else that goes into buying a house. We highly recommend David Jenkins to all of our family and friends. He is extremely knowledgeable (we learned so much about real estate from him), flexible (he worked around our schedules and spent entire evenings showing us homes), and professional. He was quick to respond to our calls, texts, and voicemails, prompt for meetings, and an absolute joy to work with. Not only that, David has kept in contact with us weeks after closing, making sure everything is going well, answering any questions about home ownership, providing recommendations, and checking to make sure we are settled in to our new home.

My overall experience with David was extremely positive. He responded to my inquiries almost instantly, gave me good advice and never once tried to pressure me into anything. As a first time home buyer, this was very important. Although I did not end up buying a home (through no fault of David's), I was left feeling very good about the process and happy that I had looked him up. I wholeheartedly recommend David for any first-time buyer in the area.

It went wonderfully. We began the sale back in June before we left the country for the summer, and because of some problems with the potential buyers and with the bank that was making the loan the sale was long and drawn out, not because of David however. David stayed on top of things and kept us informed even when we were out of the country. It was important for us to sell the house in this 2012 calendar year for tax purposes, and David managed to close the deal on the 27th. We were kept in the loop all the time. David is terrific, and we will use him again if we sell or buy a house. Thank you so very much David.
