David Swartzbaugh

My wife and I have purchased two homes and sold one home with Dave as our realtor. We couldn't be happier with the services he provided on all three transactions and we can't recommend him enough. Dave is a very knowledgeable realtor and he always looks out for his clients during every step of the buying or selling process, which is always very reassuring. If you are looking for a professional and capable realtor you can trust, Dave is definitely your guy!

Working with Dave was a pleasure, and my townhouse sold within just a few days for full price, no contingencies. He was realistic, thoughtful, and very helpful in the preparation of my home for listing, using his range of experiences to help me make the house look as good as it could look without spending unnecessary money. He suggested small changes that had big impacts on the overall appearance of the home, while recognizing that I was still living in the house. His marketing strategy was superb, as my open house was attended by far more people than any in the townhouse complex, and resulted in a quick sale. Photographs were top-notch, and the schematic drawing of the floor plan of each level in my home was unique and, I believe, drew additional interest. Dave walked me through all aspects of selling a home, preparing me for any and all contingencies. Thankfully, there were no "hiccups" during the process and closing was smooth, but his attention to detail and communication with the buyers' agent was much appreciate. I'm sorry I moved from the Northern Virginia area, as the next time I sell or buy a home I'd love to work with Dave again.

Dave is local to the Reston area and has a lot of knowledge of the region. He is professional and honest. He's talked to us like normal people, not in a fake, sales person way like some realtors. He told us when he didn't think we should buy a house and gave us the reasons why rather than trying to talk us into something that we'd later regret even though it made more work for him because he had to show us more homes. We really appreciated his honesty and his knowledgeable approach to evaluating the homes we looked at.He was there every step of the way including for the entire home inspection.Overall I'd say he's honest, friendly, professional, and experienced.

Dave is the consummate professional and we couldn't have gotten through the process of selling and buying our houses without him. Dave has worked with us on four separate transactions, two sales and two purchases. On all occasions Dave took the time to answer all of our questions and was always accommodating when it came to meeting up with us to view new houses. His attention to detail is superb and has a critical eye when looking at potential houses. Dave is equally adept at getting a house ready for market and is great at putting together a great listing and generating a lot of interest in the property. Finally, when it comes to all the details of the transaction and communicating with the other side he is professional and makes sure everything is appropriately filled out and there is no unnecessary uncertainties. I couldn't recommend Dave more highly. He was a great partner throughout the process.

This was the second time we have used Agent Dave and we came back because of how good of an experience we had the first time. Dave helped us buy a townhouse a couple years ago that we quickly grew out of with a new baby being added to the home. He helped us properly price our townhouse to generate huge interest, we ended up having over 20 showings in the first 24 hours and receiving 5 offers (4 of them over asking) on the opening weekend. Dave was able to negotiate us getting a 2 month free rent back as part of the sale which allowed us more flexibility in finding our new home. On the home we purchased Dave put in our offer and requested a response within 24 hours, trying to avoid us getting into a bidding war. Our offer was accepted and we could not be happier with the speed or quality of service from Dave Swartzbaugh. In two buys and one sell with Agent Dave he has gotten us sold and our offers on new houses accepted within one day every single time. There is no other agent I would consider beyond Dave Swartzbaugh

We have had a wonderful experience with Dave. He is very knowledgeable and takes his time to make sure everything is done well. The pictures and advertisement of our house were spectacular. This was our second time of him being our agent and would strongly recommend his services.

Dave made the 1st time home buying experience a breeze. From day 1 he was transparent with the process and sure to answer all my questions. His attention to detail was greatly appreciated for someone who had little knowledge about buying a home. Dave is extremely knowledgeable, flexible, and easy to work with. I strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a top notch realtor in the area
