Dave Van Nus

David is a true professional with a strong desire to help people achieve their real estate goals of home ownership. He works hard to find clients exactly what they want at the terms they can afford. He reaches out and really strives to go that extra mile for his clients. He is extremely intelligent and dedicated to improving his business and his client's futures. I have had the pleasure of working with him for over 6 years now and have enjoyed those years immensely. If you have the pleasure of working with Dave consider yourself fortunate.

David continually strives to help people with their housing needs even in the toughest of times for all. His attitude is one of a "win-win" nature and that's what ensures his success.

As a lender I get to work with many different realtors in the marketplace. Most of them are great to work with, but there are a few that stand above the rest because of their extra attention to detail, honesty, and communication and Dave is one of those people. Dave is relational and not transactional. He is constantly looking for ways to better serve his clients, and the community. I highly recommend him for any of your real estate needs.

Highly skilled at his craft and backed with a ton of experience. Ive had the pleasure of working with him both on his team and not. Wonderful to work with and highly focused with his clients. Dave always comes up with creative ways to create a win win in all transactions and he is extremely passionate about Real Estate.

Dave is extremely knowledgeable in the area of real estate sales in the Portland metro area. Definitely recommend everyone reaching out to him for his wisdom.

Dave is has his finger on the pulse of residential real estate. He has a great understanding of how to price houses so that they sell quickly and get the most money for his clients!

I am a Commercial Broker and based on experience in the Real Estate Market, Dave Van Nus is very knowledgeable and is an expert in the Residential Real Estate World. I strongly recommend using him in all residential real estate transactions.

I give Dave Van Nus and his team the highest possible recommendation. This is why... First, I put my house on the market with a different agent several years prior and realized the agent was interested only in quickly flipping my house by selling it at far less than market value. I was so disgusted with the process and agent that I took my house off the market and retained it. Dave came as a breath of fresh air and restored my faith in real estate agents. Second, Dave sent me a detailed PowerPoint explaining what services he offers as an agent and the other person I interviewed provided me a standard form explaining the home sale process. Dave also was more knowledgeable about the lending process than most other agents. Third, Dave got excited about the possibility of being my agent and approached the process with high energy. I explained I would be putting fresh paint on the walls, new floor coverings down, new counter tops, adding new appliances, and doing some significant yard work to my property prior to listing it. Dave was able to envision my house with the cosmetic upgrades and give me an idea of what to expect based upon such. The other agent was not able to envision the changes even when I mentioned this fact several times. Also, the other agent did not seem to get at all excited about the possibility of selling our house. Fourth, whenever I called Dave he either answered or called back shortly after I left a message the other agent seemed difficult to get responses from when leaving messages. Fifth, Dave has several strategies for selling different types of homes and ours was a large unique home that required resourcefulness to sell for the maximum value because it needed the right type of buyer. I needed to find a buyer who truly needed such a home. The other agent had only a single strategy applied to all houses, which was to try and make the house attractive to millennial buyers. Our house was six bedrooms, a bonus room, and 3.5 baths with a large yard, which is not what most millennial buyers need or want. After signing on with Dave and his team the differences continued to manifest themselves. Dave gave great advice on things like color choices for paint, some of which I fought a bit against until reminding myself Dave was not wanting the house to look the way he wanted in order to purchase it for himself but to make it attractive to a wider base. Marketing - This was absolutely the key difference between Daves work and other agents. No one else I know, that is selling a home or who has sold a home recently, had an agent do as much work to get the news out that their house was for sale as Dave. Dave performed a good deal of pre-marketing, had a blowout open house, a huge for sale sign with great photos, and directional signs leading to our house from various spots in the neighborhood. Dave and his team also went door to door handing out flyers promoting the open house. This resulted in over 70 people coming to the open house, receiving multiple offers, and six days after listing my house accepting the best offer. Compare this to one neighbor who had few people come to his first open house and no one to the second and who waited six weeks to get one offer on his house. Compare this to three other neighbors whose agents did not have an open house at all. Another neighbor had an agent who put up a sign with the agents phone number and a huge picture of the real estate agents face. Compare this to my sign which had large glossy pictures of the inside and outside of our home and an aerial shot of the neighborhood. Selling and buying a home are stressful endeavors. However, Dave and his team definitely minimized the stress and helped me obtain the full value of our home. Daves approach is unique and his work ethic is the best. Thank you Integrity Homes Team.

I was first introduced to Dave as a roofing contractor who handled a re-roof for his client. I then had the pleasure of sitting down and getting to know Dave on a personal level and was able to see firsthand why he comes so highly recommended in the industry. Simply put, Dave lights up like a Christmas tree when he talks real estate. He is no ordinary, vanilla realtor. Dave is constantly thinking ahead and strategizing on how he can better serve his future customersthis is not an empty statement, he wanted to get my opinion on a specially designed playbook that he developed to help him move real estate. Overall, I am so impressed by his passion and dedication to helping his clients.

"I was in my early 20's, career driven, and ready to buy a house. I had very high expectations and went through three realtors prior to meeting Dave. I knew I wanted to purchase a home soon and other realtors out there didn't seem to show the sense of urgency. I spoke with David and he was very eager to help. After searching for homes for 2 weeks, we found a home and it was wrapped up shortly after. Each time I called Dave, he picked up. No matter the situation or if he was in the middle of something. It was nice to have that comfort; it made me feel valued and important. I recommend Dave Van Nus as a real estate agent if you're looking for someone to go above and beyond!"

"Didn't ask for us to sign exclusive contract with him (will Murphy). That was huge for me. Very competent with his iPhone. My wife enjoyed a Harry Potter joke he made too.I can't say enough about Dave and Will. They got us our dream home and advised us to make all the right moves during a bidding war.Excellent in all of those categories. Extremely high level of service and dedication. Absolutely the best real estate experience of my life.We were shown 8 houses on our first day! Other realtors couldn't even get us into one open house. We where living in another state and Will Murphy drove to a house that just hit the market that we absolutely loved and gave us a FaceTime walk through. We ended up buying that very house and it never would have happened without Will and Dave."

"We were very lucky to have picked Dave Van Nus from an internet ad. He has become a trusted and valuable asset . We love the house helped us purchase 3 years ago and can't believe the price we got if for. We now have a lot of equity because of his quick work and timing. We also were so impressed with his team. Processional excellence, and perfect timing with all the knowledge we needed to negotiate a tricky transaction with another house on the market and the one we were purchasing being a short sale. Thanks Dave for our current living situation and helping us move in surprising us with a free carpet cleaning and brand new garage door opener already installed and programmed. We will continue to consult with Dave and use his team for all our RE needs.Dan and Kimberly Scott and family."

"Dave and I met, by chance, as a result of my engagement with his colleague James. I immediately clicked with Dave and knew we would make a great team.Dave absolutely had my back with respect to the repair addendums. He went to bat for me and made certain that the seller complied with all terms of the agreement.Dave is a standout professional, and he was a godsend for me throughout this transaction. Dave was a great negotiator when it came to accepting the counteroffer for my property. At one point, I became so overwhelmed with the reality of ""yes this is actually happening,"" that Dave joined multiple three-way calls and led conversations on my behalf. I would have stumbled through those calls without him, but we got through it!Dave was awesome, and I can't rate him high enough. I didn't need to do much of the heavy lifting at all, and that was a huge relief."

"The Dave Van Nus Team developed a marketing plan that produced a crowd at the open house with an offer within days. The offer came in above listing with a back up offer even higher. They developed a marketing plan that hit social media, print and online sales. The house closed in less than a month.I am very happy with the results, all the way to the bank happy. I will not hesitate to call them when I choose to buy. If you are a buyer or seller, this team is not like the rest, very hands on and goes the extra mile.I cannot tell you how much I appreciate their efforts. They are worth every dime of their commission!"

"My wife and I were so impressed with the great understanding Dave and his team had on the market and how they really hit the perfect balance in price. If it was $5,000-10,000 more I don't think we would have received the multiple offers that allowed us to make more than listing price! Dave didnt rush us to accept the first offer on the first day, allowing the property a full weekend to market and held an open house, making sure we would get more viewings and multiple offers, which we did! He took us to dinner to my wifes favorite place to review offers right as another Realtor brought us another offer. It was really fun watching Dave on the phone got back and forth negotiating with the top offers and he helped us make more on our sale. He even negotiated the buyer to pay for the Home Warranty. If the home was priced any different, I am sure we would have had to deal with low ball offers. Dave and his team kept us at ease throughout the whole process. Even with discouraging news they gave us understanding on why, and how easy it would be to fix. All and all they are your best choice to sell your house!Thank you Dave and Integrity Homes Team!Noah and Alma Ennis"

"We really appreciate that Dave Van Nus treated us with respect and made home buying so stress free. He is a real professional and his experience and expertise really shows. He needs to be rewarding for all his great work."

"Our hunt for a house started out very difficult. We fired two realtors for ethical and professional reasons. We had decided that we were better off representing ourselves and did not seek a new realtor. We met Dave when looking at the house we ended up buying. He was professional and honest, and went right to work for us. We wrapped up the purchase of a short sale home in record time and are very pleased with the whole experience.Since closing on that property we have already started looking at other properties we are interested in. Dave has been right there arranging for us to view property. He also is quick on doing research on properties I ask him to find out about. We will buy more properties and will work with Dave and his assistant to close those deals.I would recommend Dave to anyone who needs a realtor that is honest to represent them."

"Dave approached us after a previous short sale attempt failed. Our situation was a total mess but it did not seem to deter Dave at all. I had little faith that he and his team would be able to pull off the sale given our past experiences. We are extremely grateful with the outcome and will happily refer friends and family in need of a competent realtor to Dave and his team."

"Dave Van Nus did a great job selling my property. He was not hesitant to negotiate for me. I especially liked how he had a marketing strategy which differentiated himself from the other brokers."

"I really appreciate the experience I had with Dave Van Nus, his team Portland House Hunters, and My Integrity Homes. I was overwhelmed with the task of purchasing a condo here in Portland and about being able to find someone that I could trust that would have my best interest in mind. However, after a few discussions with Dave and sharing our common backgrounds, I realized I was dealing with a genuine human being who cared about me and the success of my loan. I wasn't just another paycheck and Dave helped me shop around to find a loan that met my needs and provided me a great rate. Dave guided me through the process of closing my first home. His professionalism and attention to detail made the whole process easy.As a first time home buyer, I had a lot of questions about mortgage rates and the different associated costs. Dave was available around the clock to provide me with updated information. Dave was also upfront about everything and allowed me to properly budget closing costs and mortgage expenses. In the end, I ended up saving money thanks to Daves guidance and the My Integrity Homes Team."

"It was great. I am not a patient person and I dont like worrying about other people doing their job, and I was so impressed with how I just never had to worry about Dave doing his job. He was available anytime for me to text or call for any questions or concerns I had. I love the more relaxed style they had. With him I never had to sit in an office or schedule time out of my day to sign paperwork, we either met at the house viewing, inspection, or signing and just getting stuff done not just sitting around. Dave and Rachel were just really great and Tucker and I enjoyed their services very much."

"I found my first home with Dave Van Nus and enjoyed the whole experience. I had a lot to learn and Dave was very knowledgeable and always available to answer all my questions. After a last minute viewing late in the evening, Dave and his team stayed up and got an offer written up + submitted that night! The house was perfect for me and I'm so glad that I didn't miss out. After the bank appraisal, I found out I had an instant $7,000 equity.Thanks Dave!"

"We thouroughly enjoyed the whole journey in finding the perfect home for our needs . Dave and his team listened and gave 100% dedication to our search . Ha explained lots of new information to us and helped us in so many ways , was on call whenever we needed clarification and kept a super positive attitude . He had great energy and knows how to navigate all the areas we encountered . Making offers ,Negotiation . Looking our for everyone with the utmost integrity.Thank you Dave Van Nus"

"Dave Van Nus was truly the only broker to use for the type of transaction I wanted. I was interested in purchasing a home on an owner contract, meaning no loans or banks. Dave was unbelievably knowledgeable about this type of purchase even though it is, by todays standards, unconventional . I found a property that I was interested in purchasing however, the owner was wanting a conventional bank loan payoff. Dave was able to contact the seller and negotiate a contract sale that was beneficial to both parties. I am positive if I had chosen another broker I would not own my home today! Dave was so knowledgeable and attentive throughout the entire process, he made me feel as though I was his only client. I have delt with brokers in the past and had a hard time keeping their attention on my needs. I would feel like I had to remind them of who I was or where we were on my case. Dave addressed any of my concerns immediately and ensured they were resolved completely. I would recommend Dave to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional and attentive broker."

"Honest and caring, wouldn't sell me anything that I didn't need. He took the time to learn what I needed and came through with the perfect property. Thank you Dave."

"Dave and Rachael are a joy to work with. Since first meeting them, they were kind and very concerned about what we were trying to accomplish. It was like meeting vested business partners who had a sincere interest in the success of our vision. In order to purchase another property, we needed to sell our current home which was very stressful to think about. We interviewed a couple other agents who just wanted us to get the home on the market now. Dave and Rachael offered us two options that would keep our family safe and not on the street after a sale and they didnt make us feel rushed at all. In the end, we chose Dave and Rachael and their Integrity Homes Team to sell our home, and we will work with them to buy our next home! I will highly recommend them to everyone I know and we use them again in the future! Thank you Dave and Rachael!"

"My wife and I were looking for a lease to own situation. The house we chose, and wanted to buy, wasn't advertised or available for a lease option. Dave went to work and negotiated a deal that was satisfactory , not only to us, but for the homeowner as well. It worked out really well for everyone. It wasn't easy, but it all got done, and everyone was happy. By the way, it was a Beautiful home! Thanks Dave!"

"Working with Dave was amazing. It was a terribly stressful situation that I was dealing with and he was friendly professional understanding and went to bat for me and got me what I needed. It was a great experience and I have and will continue to recommend him to friends and family."

"In 2012 my husband and I were fresh out of the Marines and wanting to buy a home. We were in a tricky situation that required us to obtain owner financing. Dave, being a follow Marine, helped negotiate a for sale by owner into ourowner financing. The transaction went smoothly and we were very pleased with the terms and conditions that he obtained for us."

"I was so greatful to find Dave, my situation was impossible and he made all my dreams come true. I will forever be grateful."

"As a retired military member (Navy) and having a child serve in the military (Marines), hearing that Dave was a Marine peaked our interests. We figured he would be reliable, determined, dedicated, and pay close attention to details. We were not wrong.Dave was definitely Top Notch! Creative marketing plan. On top of each issue as they arose. Very professional at every turn no matter what was happening. Knowledgeable and was able to answer all questions. Made excellent recommendations and suggestions. Easy and pleasant to work with.No matter what time we needed him, he was available and responded quickly. Heavily relied on for information and recommendations. He never steered us wrong. Paperwork was quick and correct, which was very welcomed after having a bad experience.We would recommend Dave to our family and closest friends."

"Dave Van Nus helped all through the process including contacting our banker, inspector and even got a bid for the roof. Before the final papers were signed we already had our repairs list and costs and reputable contractor"

"I was impressed by the ambition of the team. More so willing to assist me in achieving my goals than any other factor. The workmanship and diligence of the group yealded phenomenal results, with my home being a hot house on three websites. My expectations were high, so much other realtors were not optimistic about the house selling anywhere near the asking price. I went with my gut, and chose this group over three other realtors. I have to say a was a little bias due to Daves prior military service, as I am a former service member. I wasnt wrong with my choice, and would highly recommend this group to anyone selling a home. Dave made it so easy for me to take care of all my other responsibilities by taking care of selling the home. The group definitely exceeded my expectations. I can confidently say, they will exceed yours if given the opportunity. Thanks yall, JP"
