Dave Monforton

“"10 out of 10. Always available. Never Pushy. , "”

“"Dave recently helped me sell a house in a downtown Ann Arbor neighborhood which I had owned for twenty years. Dave's experience and knowledge helped me decide where to spend money on improving the value and curb appeal of the house, and could recommend tradesmen to get the work done., Dave's research helped us gauge the best asking price for the current market, and his recommendation proved to be appropriate and accurate. He used his contacts to attract wide interest in the listing, and kept me apprised during the showing and bidding process. I felt I was in good hands throughout."”

“"When I decided to retire from teaching it was also time to downsize from a large home in a rural area outside Ann Arbor to find a more suitable condo with less work to maintain the inside and outside. Dave began the process by thoroughly assessing my home to find just the right price to get the house sold. He priced it conservatively and it sold above asking price with more than one offer. Before it was listed Dave suggested ways to help me get the most out of my home sale. He researched contractors to get some work done, and while I did not take all his suggestions, I never felt pressured to do so at any point. Once we had established a price point, Dave helped me figure out how much I would have to purchase a new home without needing any financing. We started that search well before my home was listed to get an idea of what was out there and zero-in on my ""must haves "", like walking distance to a quaint downtown, first on my list. One condo I was going to put in an offer Dave dug deeper about the property to find that an assessment was going to be added to that sale as the condo needed some long overdue structural repairs. This was going to be a hefty amount and one that was not quite disclosed by the seller. Dave goes above and beyond to make sure there are no surprises when purchasing a new home. Just when I was getting discouraged that I may never find the right one, we found the condo I now call home. With Dave's patience and tenacity, always believing we'd find my forever home, he made the selling and buying process painless. Anyone looking for a realtor that will will go above and beyond look no further - Dave Monforton is your man."”
