David Butler

David and Julie Butler were professional, courteous and knowledgeable in every aspect of home buying process. We were first time home buyers and they helped us navigate financing, negotiation, closing and moving. They were patient and provided valuable guidance throughout the journey and made home buying an enjoyable experience. Having tried other real estate agents David and Julie are the best and with their help we found a home at the right price and location quickly that best fit our needs. We highly recommend them and will work with them in future to sell or buy homes!

David Butler, Butler|Gore Realty Group, just closed a sale for me in San Diego, California. I have bought and sold homes in Phoenix, Long Beach, La Jolla, San Carlos, and Las Vegas. Never in all of my years of buying and selling have I ever experienced a more market aware and better experienced realtor than David. He brought the whole organization in and made the entire transaction one that proved to be the best I have ever experienced. David saved me money, dealt with needed repairs, redecorating and even staging to help me sell for the best price. I live in Palm Desert and once David got involved my trips to San Diego couldn't have been shorter and more infrequent. If you want to save time, save money and have an exceptional selling experience, call David Butler of Butler|Gore Realty Group. You won't ever regret making that call.

The Butler/Gore group was highly recommended to us by a friend and after our initial meeting with David it was clear we wanted to work with his team. David was our primary contact and did an excellent job outlining the entire home selling strategy & process. David works with some very talented designers, stagers and has a number of affordable and high-quality contractors to assist in getting our home to look it's best. David, Mark and Rachel were very supportive throughout all phases of selling and buying a new home for our family and their experience was key in making this as stress free as possible. We really enjoyed working with the Butler/Gore group and enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking to buy and sell in this crazy San Diego market.

David and Julie were just amazing to work with. From the very beginning to the very end David and Julie put in maximum effort. We didnt have to do anything after our initial interview. David took great notes and knew what we wanted for the home and the furniture. David negotiated on our behalf and broke the record for highest selling home in our development. Closing process was a breeze and the Gore group handled everything. We cant recommend David and Julie enough......True Professionals who believe in full effort and full energy to get the home sold. On top of their professionalism, they are great people - fun, intelligent, and easy to get along with.

We would highly recommend David and Julie Butler to help you find your next home or sell your existing home. David and Julie helped us with both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our home. Every open house or private showing with David was filled with insights about the community, the builder and the neighborhood. For instance, after an open house in Via Montecristo in Del Sur area, David drove us around the neighborhood parks and talked about various events sponsored by the HOA in that community. On a separate occasion, while on a drive to an open house, David took a detour to Stone ranch elementary school. He mentioned how great the after school programs were at the Boys and Girls club next to Stone ranch elementary. He then asked us to time our drive to the open house, so we could gauge how long it would take us to drive to the school. After every open house or private showing, David would ask us for our feedback, listen patiently and take notes. When we were ready to put in offers on homes we liked, David and his team started prepping for the sale of our existing home. David and Julie had a team of interior designers who helped stage our home. David kept us in the loop when we got offers and guided us on what could be our next best step. Finally, when we accepted an offer, David was able to set up a rent back agreement with the buyer. This gave us enough time to close on the new house. When we wanted to get some work done on the new home, David helped set up a lock box so our contractors could get access to the home. Overall it was a pleasant experience and if we had to do it again, we would definitely go back to David and Julie Butler - hands down the best service, the most professional and personable team we have met!!

We are so happy that we chose to work with Julie and David Butler to buy our new home! Wonderful experience! Extremely knowledgeable and professional. Great communication. Always had our best interests in mind. The entire process went smoothly start to finish. Julie and David are amazing!

Thanks David and Julie Butler! We are relocating from another city to San Diego. They made our house purchase so smoothly. So, we have a house to move into instead of renting! We met them at their open house. They are so friendly, and their 5-star review helped us to decide using them as our agent too. Indeed, they are very professional in the whole transaction and represented our interest well. They are also very considerate, still helping us even after our house purchase is closed.

We actually chose Butler|Gore because they're literally everywhere, not to mention lived in our development. From our perspective, we thought that choosing an agent that is familiar with our area would not only understand how best to price our house for sale, but also find us our next house. They didn't disappoint. It was white glove from beginning to end. Besides shrewd negotiating with buyer's agents, their staging team did a remarkable job making our house shine. The pictures looked better than the model! If you're looking for an agent that can sell, follows through with their promises and is always accessible by phone/email/text, congratulations, you've chosen Buter|Gore Realty Group!

When we first considered listing our home, we had a budget set for improvements. David and Julie consulted with us and made recommendations for upgrades that would help the home sell that stayed within our budget. When we were ready to start the home improvements, they provided us with a list of service providers that they trusted. If we were not available, they scheduled and met service providers at the home in order to complete the work in a timely manner. They have a relaxed, calm style as they discussed the buying and selling process with us. We were extremely impressed with the staging. Since we had already moved to our new home, the staging really utilized the empty space and set a lovely ambiance. Once our house was listed, there were multiple open houses each weekend. Wonderful photos and a promotional brochure with pictures and information about the home were used to entice potential buyers as we moved to our new home, we were appreciative to be able to use their moving truck to start transporting our belongings. We are so grateful for their assistance and we love our new home.

David and Julie just sold our home for Top Price!!! We couldn't be happier. From the beginning until the end of the process, they showed us their professionalism and knowledge. The communication was excellent, they responded to all our questions and were very diligent with everything we need it. Open house, advertising, staging the house beautifully, every detail was covered. We made an excellent choice and we will contact them again to sell or to buy. Thank you David and Julie!

Dave and Julie Butler helped us every step of the way. We used the Butler's to help us buy and sell our houses. It all happened so quickly and they assisted us every step of the way. I am convinced that if we didn't contact them we would not have been able to negotiate so quickly to buy our house and then turn around and get top dollar for our old house. Dave knew the housing market inside and out. Having just sold multiple houses in the area (Carmel Valley, Torrey Highlands, Santa Luz, 4s Ranch) he knew exactly what we should offer when buying the house we are currently in. He had all the comps and made well thought out recommendations, never pushing us into a number we were uncomfortable with. After quickly purchasing the house, we realized the old house needed to be sold. Julie and Dave made some great affordable suggestions as to how to get our old house into selling shape. After just one weekend showing we had multiple competing offers. In the end, we got over asking price. Dream come true. But it always comes down to the details and the Butlers and their team are on it. Whether it was use of their moving truck, suggesting the use of their stagers or giving us a list that helped facilitate the move, they were on it. They also work with a very good team of escrow, title and insurance agents that made the process smooth. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

We have no doubt that our house sold for more and sold faster because we worked with David and Julie and their team. The market was very competitive in our area and they knew how to leverage for the highest bid. All of their experience showed in their recommendation on listing price and date and also in preparation to show the house with staging and having exceptional photos taken, which makes a tremendous difference. Any time an issue came up, like small repairs, they had recommended service providers able to fix anything quickly. We highly recommend the Butlers!

Extremely positive experience working with Julie and Dave Butler! We sold a house and their part of the process was smooth from beginning to end. We met with David who gave a very detailed informal presentation helping us make our decision to use them as our selling agent. Little did he know our decision was already 95% made based on our previous experience using Steve Gore to buy & sell two other properties in the past. The presentation did highlight for us things that have changed as the market has evolved and online tools have become more available and matured. One huge benefit offered by David and Julie was staging the home included in their fee! I'm certain the staging resulted in extra dollars in sale price. They also provided great ideas about how to prepare the house for sale and the final result was stunning. The house showed incredibly well and generated enormous interest from buyers. I was a bit concerned when David introduced their pricing strategy for our property. It was fairly aggressive and somewhat counterintuitive - but it paid off (literally!) with a sales price 6.5% higher than list! We listed on Friday, open house on Sunday and 18 valid offers by Monday night! The negotiation process whittled the pool down to a few serious offers and we accepted one of those - the actual decision on which to accept was challenging because there were many excellent offers. One hiccup that occurred was our first buyers backed out shortly after establishing an accepted offer. Not a problem though since David immediately went to work and secured an accepted offer from one of the other potential buyers. Had it not been for David's quick action, this setback may have been much more significant than the non-event it became. Progressing to close was smooth with the exception of the escrow company who seemed to be challenged with timely replies and communication of information. David spoke to them and their responsiveness improved dramatically and they eventually performed their service acceptably. Again, I believe David was instrumental in making this work to our favor instead of becoming a major issue. I would absolutely use David and Julie again and would recommend their services to anyone interested in selling or buying a property!

Thank you so much for this easy transaction and selling my home. There are always bumps in this process and Im well aware having gone through it multiple times, however I felt very taken care of and supported and of course made a lot more money than I thought I would! Thank you to your team You have my endorsement 100% and I hope that I can send clients your way over the next few years. I look forward to purchasing a home with you guys; I couldnt be happier with the results. Your team and you guys are awesome!

I highly recommend David and Julie Butler!!! Its hard to describe where to begin. When you buy and sell your home you want to work with an agent that is truly an expert in the neighborhood, has the experience to guide you through the whole process, has similar values to yous and doesnt treat you like just another transaction. David and Julie Butler (and their team) were absolutely experts in helping us sell our home in 4S. They know the area and the market extremely well. We learned very quickly to trust them and their experience and we were not sorry. Most importantly, we were treated like selling our house was extremely important to them and it was genuine. They did EVERYTHING, they said they would and it resulted in better than expected sales and helping us truly find a home of our dreams. Moving is hard but it is a lot less hard when working with agents like David and Julie. It truly was a pleasure to work with them and to get to know them. You will not be sorry.

This home was one of a few that I sold over the past decade. I felt that both David and Julie exceeded my expectations, and highly recommend them. They were very knowledgeable of the area, and easy to work with. I was very impressed with the extra attention to detail, and their willingness to go the extra mile for me. With aggressive marketing and negotiating, we achieved our goal in a favorable time frame. If needed, I will use them again, thank you David & Julie!

Julie and David are the most professional, responsive, and efficient realtors I know. I've used their agency to buy and sell over the last 5 years and have received top notch service. I trust them implicitly with the emotional and business process of purchasing and seeking homes and will continue to use them for future transactions. They also helped me find rentals and their service extends long beyond the real estate transaction. They are a full service company and THE best!

We used the Butler Gore Realty Group, and specifically David Butler, for both a new home purchase and sale of our home in the summer of 2019. They were fantastic, and they made the often complicated buying and selling process so much easier. David was responsive, thoughtful, and thorough, and he made us feel like we had a true advocate working on our side. On the buy-side, they prepared detailed analyses to help us put together a reasoned, strong (but fair) offer, which we were fortunate to have accepted (no doubt due to their quick assistance with proposed terms and process). They worked with us every step of the way to help us feel protected and keep things running smoothly. On the sell-side, however, is where they really shined. They are true "experts" of the local real estate market, have a calculated marketing approach, and listened to what we wanted and needed throughout. David's great work led to multiple offers above our asking price, and he assisted us by providing a detailed comparison of terms which allowed us to choose what worked best for us. Even when there might have been hiccups, David maintained flexibility that allowed us to quickly pivot, where we might not have been so lucky if not for his preparation. Working with David and the Butler Gore Realty Group was a great choice, and the best decision we made to maximize the value of our home sale. The level of service they provide--from the responsiveness, marketing activities/staging, use of a moving truck, etc.--is top notch, and I'd easily recommend them to anyone looking at a real estate transaction.

We are so thankful we found the Butler Gore Realty Group this past summer. David and Julie Butler are experts in buying and selling real estate and they both went above and beyond to help us every step of the way through the whole process. Not only are they true professionals but they are kind, empathetic and genuinely seemed to care about their clients. They, along with Mark Edwards who helped us with the closing process, patiently answered every question and addressed every concern we had. They gave us insightful feedback/advice and helped us transform our house from what essentially had become a giant clutter-filled play area for our three kids to a beautiful model home which received several above-asking offers the first weekend on the market. We honestly believe we would not have been able to buy our new house (which had 10+ other competitive offers) or sell our current house this quickly without the Butlers' guidance.

I am forever grateful to have met with Julie & David. After 10 minutes of meeting them, I was so impressed with them and knew right away that there is no on else that I rather work with. They were so professional and efficient. They met me within 2 days of me calling on them, and on a Sunday morning! After deciding to use them, they sent me a timeline and list of things that needed to be done. One of my favorite things is that they hired the home stagers and photographers to get the home ready to sell, along with giving me action items to take care of. The list and timeline alleviated so much stress, and I was able to get the house ready for market in 2 1/2 weeks. That third weekend, we had an open house, and 4 offers came in days after. Our house sold for record prices for our floor plan. The team managed the whole process while we were in escrow, and everything went smoothly. I loved working with them and I know all my old neighbors were very thankful when they found out what our house closed for. I highly recommend them!

My husband and I could not be happier with the services provided by David and Julie Butler. We interviewed many realtors to make sure we had the right fit because we faced a very complicated cross country move. We felt like just another sale to the other realtors. David and Julie took the time and really listened to our situation. What I especially liked about the team is that they personally answer phone calls. I don't think I ever left a voice mail. Text messages or emails are also swiftly answered. David and Julie scheduled a very helpful home staging crew to get our home in picture ready condition for an open house. However, our home sold before it even hit the market thanks to their phenomenal sales skills. We can not recommend the Butler Gore Realty Group enough!
