Dave Ralston-RE/MAX Northwest Realtors

This is the guy!
We experienced quite a smooth purchase as first time home buyers in this intense Seattle market. We were successful purchasing our unit, regardless of having an offer less appealing than our competition.
Dave’s supportive and professional nature was very much appreciated every step of this emotionally intensive process. We, too, received feedback from the other parties involved about how impressive his attentive involvement had been.
He will be our agent for future needs and any referrals. Highly recommended.

Dave has worked with us for the past 2 years in looking for a house. When we found our ideal house, he was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable and responsive. We were able to put an offer, put our house on the market and close on both properties in 45 days. He helped price our house so well that we had 5 offers in 5 days, even in the dead of winter. But the thing that impressed us most was his thoughtfulness. We moved into a house with a steep driveway. Within days of moving in, he had put up driveway markers around the driveway to help us navigate. We’ve bought/​sold 3 houses with different agents and Dave, by far, is the best one we’ve had.

I was blown away with our amazing experience working with Dave to sell our house! He was THE most professional and attentive person that my husband and I have ever worked with. Dave went above and beyond in selling our home. David walked us through listing our house from preparing to sell to double checking all of the interested parties financing. We will only ever use Dave Ralston for buying and selling any future homes and have recommended hi. To all of our family and friends.

Dave really helped my husband and I through the home buying process. We moved to Washington from Wisconsin and didn’t know the area at all! He was always available and made us feel like his first priority. After seeing a couple different kinds of homes, in different neighborhoods, we decided on the perfect one! Dave was very knowledgeable in the financing process as well! As for getting the keys to our new home, Dave came over and had a house warming gift for us! It was the kindest gesture! I can’t believe how lucky we were to find Dave.

Dave is a great agent that cares about his clients. We (Maple Leaf Management) have had the opportunity to work with him helping his clients that have property management needs. His advice is always spot on and we are always impressed by his professionalism. We recommend him highly.

Dave is one of the best realtors we’ve ever dealt with. Attentive, considerate, reliable, and tenacious, he’s a rare find among what are oftentimes careless, scatterbrained and, quite frankly, idiotic agents. If you’re serious about your home investment (s), and want to remain proactive and fully engaged in the process, look to Dave as a competitive resource and a trusted ally.

If only there were more stars on this rating chart. The short version review: 1. Dave would do everything in his power to get you the best price/​deal 2. He is probably the most responsive agent out there. If he didn’t answer the call or text right away, he would get back to you within hours if not minutes. I was even calling him at 9 pm once. 3. Dave genuinely looking out for his clients (who he treats like his friends) for any pitfalls or contract issues
My wife and I first met Dave back in 2013. Right away, we knew he is different than other agents we have met. Instead asking how much money we had or driving us around town aimlessly for house shopping, Dave set us down and asked about our expectations and goals. By the time we were ready to purchase a house at 2014, we went back to Dave. (at that point, we already had three unpleasant experience with real estate agents.) It took my wife and I almost 4 months to find the right house (during that time, we even had Dave made an offer contract for a potential house at almost 10 pm, which we cancelled in the end), but Dave was really patient with us the whole time.
The lender actually caused us the most trouble throughout the entire home buying experience, which ended up delaying the closing date up to 2 weeks. The builder (the house was a brand new construction) was not very understanding and insisted on the late fee per day, which ended up around $ 1500 on top of closing cost. Dave felt that this is the perfect house for my family, and paid the fee out of his pocket. Tell me where you can find an agent like that?
we didn’t just buy a beautiful home through Dave, but we also met a wonderful friend.

Dave is a super nice guy and made our home buying experience awesome :)

David is amazing! He helped us get into our first home last year. We were looking for a home, didn’t have an agent… pretty much didn’t know what we were doing! He came along and made the whole process SO easy. He is honest and truly has your best interest at heart. I have referred friends, family and clients to him and will continue to do so. He is more than an agent, he has become a friend. Thank you David!

I have worked with Dave for several years and he is an honest, pro-​active agent who is patient and really cares about his customers. Purchasing a home can be a nerve-​wracking experience, Dave takes care of details and makes sure his customers undrestand each step of the process. He has amazing negotiating skills and he is extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend contacting Dave if you are thinking about buying or selling a home.

My wife and I had a great experience with Dave. Buying our first home, he was knowledgeable and he helped us to make sure we understood the process throughout. He went above and beyond in many instances. Being nervous about purchasing our first home, I consulted my parents who would mention things that I should look into. Each and every time they would suggest something, the response was «Oh Dave already looked into that». Not only were we impressed, but my parents were as well. In the end we got a great home at a great price and feel confident in our purchase as well as our initial decision to work with Dave.

My husband and I worked with Dave in the Spring of 2009 to buy our first home. We could not have imagined a better experience. Dave got to know us and helped us better define what we were looking for in terms of a home. From this information, he crafted a uniquely personal home buying experience for us. Dave brought expert local and process knowledge. He guided us through the tumultuous landscape that is real estate and home buying with great knowledge and ease. He worked within our budget and personal wants and needs for a home. Never pressuring us and always striving to provide us with the best information and customer service. Additionally, his team that he uses to support his home buyers in the process is unrivaled. I talk to countless friends who did not benefit from the extremely supportive, helpful, and knowledgeable experience that we did, all thanks to Dave. As cliché as this is, I can say with confidence that Dave doesn’t just help his clients find a house, he helps them find a home. His extensive knowledge and skill, excellent customer service, and commitment to your home buying experience is unmatched. If you are in the market for a home, we would absolutely recommend Dave Ralston.

Dave is fantastic, my partner and I were thrilled to have worked with him. No matter which district of the city, nor which sort of sale we discussed, Dave was knowledgable, helpful, and responsive.
Everyone else that we worked with towards purchasing our home was a complete mess, Dave has been an immense help and even picked up the slack for the seller, the seller’s agent, our home insurance contact, and our lender.
After closing, Dave has been on hand to help us put out fires and solve problems that we could not have anticipated without his help and guidance.
We cannot recommend Dave highly enough. Anyone we know looking to buy a home will be hearing about Dave from us!
