Client Testimonials

Davida was the shelter in the storm in this crazy market. She has clearly put in the time to perfect her talents in the Real Estate Industry. We made the choice to sell our high-end investment property on Siesta Key and hired Davida after interviewing several agents. Her marketing was completely unique and really stood out from others we interviewed and she actually took the time to be present during the entire process. She handled things with complete control and professionalism. The best part about her was her negotiation skills in the heat of the moment. Davida was direct and straightforward at all times which was refreshing, to say the least. She was a true pro and we made the best choice possible in hiring her.

We met Davida in June of 2015 when we flew out here to buy a home. We found our new home two days before we were to head back to California. As it was a short sale, she kept us informed during the whole process, which sometimes got very disheartening. As she worked tirelessly during the negotiations, she also kept our spirits lifted and not give up hope. She was very professional in her dealings with the seller's agent as well as with us. It was a wonderful day when we got to sign contracts. We would recommend Davida highly!

Davida took us to quite a few homes to review, and we discussed each option. We put in offers, but the home that we finally bought is the perfect fit for multiple reasons. It was a really long, drawn-out process because of certain issues with the home itself, but Davida was there for us every step of the way. Davida was integral to our home buying process, and even though it was really stressful she kept an upbeat attitude and stayed positive. She advised us on all aspects and we could not have done this without her.

Davida sold me my first home. She was very professional, ahead of time, and met all our deadlines. She gave selfless advice and did much-needed undercover work to find me the right home that fit all my needs. Honest, trustworthy, and discerning. To top it off she seems to thoroughly enjoy her job! I give her an A++.
