Dave Goddard's Reviews & Ratings

Dave Goddard

  • Dave helped me buy a home

      Dave had a lot of homes for me to look at & I could contact him anytime. I found my home quickly after we started looking. Dave is the best. I sent my son to him to find his home.

    • Dave helped me buy a home

        Being a first time home buyer is nerve racking but finding someone like Dave and Candy was truly a godsend. They treated me like family and made sure I knew exactly what to and what not to look for in purchasing a home. He had my best interest in mind during the whole process.

      • Incredible knowledge and patienceCandy and Dave are amazing!! We started our home search early in the year and every house tour we did with them showed how invested they were in making sure we found the right place. Dave would often look at the hard to see places and inspect everything, once even telling us a house was not good even before we walked in just by looking around the exterior ( which he was completely right!). They saw our frustration once we hit mid June and had not found anything, but continued to encourage us and tell us that the right place was coming. Our work schedule is not the best, but they were always there for late night questions and Candy was always available to provide clarity on the process since we were first time homeowners. They never wanted us to rush into anything, and helped us look at the pros and cons of all the places we looked at. If you need someone who is knowledgeable and will be honest with you, but also invested in the process and cheer you on the wins, this duo is it. We couldn't have asked for anyone better, and will forever be grateful for them!

      • Above & BeyondWe worked with Dave & Candy Goddard to purchase our home, and honestly, we couldnt have asked for better agents. They are incredibly knowledgeable about the market and helped us understand what to look for beyond just the basics. Dave took the time to inspect each property during showings like a pro, pointing out things we wouldnt have noticed and giving honest feedback, which we really appreciated. Throughout the process, they were patient, responsive, and genuinely supportive. It felt like they were guiding us every step of the way, not just trying to close a deal. Their professionalism stood out, but they were also warm and approachable, which made the whole experience less stressful and more enjoyable. They went above and beyond for us, and were truly grateful. If youre looking for agents who actaully know what they are doing, Dave & Candy are it.

      • Ok I will start off saying I know a lot of realtors and by far Candy & Dave are the best Ive ever sOk I will start off saying I know a lot of realtors and by far Candy & Dave are the best Ive ever seen. They care about there clients. They constantly communicate through texts, emails, voicemails, and phone calls. Candy is definitely a GO getter and she is on top of her game. She will provide the most honest information and she will fight to get you top dollar for your house however she will provide honest information on comparables and will explain to you how to get the best value out of your house. Dave & Candy will lead you for success and tell you things like if you tighten this cabinet or paint this wall or anything that is not sticker shocking. These people are very knowledgeable. I felt I should write this long information because I had such a wonderful experience and please dont be like oh yea this review is because this person knows Candy & Dave. I want to put it out there I do not know them or have any history with them I litteraly met them a couple months ago and they sold my house in 24 hours of listing. So I do know they now will become my friend and connection for future purchases!!! Great job guys and thank you for all your connections and hard work!! Keep doing what your doing!! The real world out there is in it to make a buck. You guys are in it for a buck as well but the difference with you guys you actually care about your clients!!

      • Knowledgeable and personable realtorsWe had to find a realtor within a day because of a unique situation. I found Candy and Dave online, cold called them, and they were able to meet us at a house that same night. They had recommendations for home inspectors, contractors, and even appliance sales. They were kind and supportive throughout the whole process. Dave had information about the house that I never would have known and Candy was so organized and honest with the paperwork.

      • Life Changing AgentsIf we could, we would give Dave and Candy 10 stars. The amount of knowledge, experience, professionalism, and support they provided us was truly amazing. They went above and beyond, and they treated us as if we were family. We would have never found the house of our dreams without the Dave and Candys help. Buying a new construction home, they made sure that we covered all the important areas, including areas that were unknown to us. The anxiety and stress of buying a new home was overwhelming, but their patience, understanding, and reassurance were more than enough to get us through the whole process. Their support and kindness even extends after the home purchase, to make sure your new home experience is everything you wished for. For us, they are family, and they will always have a very special place in our hearts.

      • Great Experience with the Goddards!We worked with Dave and Candy Goddard to sell our father's house after moving him to a retirement community. The house had great bones and was solidly built but was dated, after having the same owner for 50+ years. We knew that posed challenges, as did only having 1.5 baths in a big house. Dave & Candy were a great team, very personable, providing lots of great insights and advice about the current market, pricing, and improvements to make (and not to make), offering recommendations for wonderful painting and carpet vendors, etc. They were also extremely responsive to any questions and requests. We were impressed with their dedication to helping us sell the house as quickly as possible and appreciated that they understood the stress of cleaning out and selling a family member's home which they had recently experienced. Overall, a great experience!
