Recommendation for David Glidewell I recommend David Glidewell enthusiastically and without hesitation as a real estate agent. I found David through his advertisement in his church bulletin. I was seeking to purchase a condo in Daytona Beach to which I could retire. David started by listening attentively to me and asking pertinent questions and relevant observations. He sought to understand my needs, wants, and goals. I showed him a list of properties from Zillow that I thought might work, and he added several more from the MLS. Then, we decided which units I should tour, and he made arrangements and showed me them. He walked through the condos with me, listened to my observations, asked questions, and pointed out the positives and negatives. David impressed me a being an exceptionally knowledgeable professional with a fine eye for even the tiniest of details. He was not pushy or impatient; working with him was a pleasure. I first thought of a unit in a condotel on the ocean, but acceptable financing was not to be had. David helped me to regroup and rethink my interests in light of units that were affordable and available. Again, we toured different properties and found a quiet, two-bedroom condo on the Halifax River with a river view. I fell in love with the unit. David negotiated with the sellers’ agent and was able to get the price reduced by $15,000. He kept me well informed throughout the process. He also put me in touch with a mortgage company that, according to my research, secured the lowest possible interest rate and the most favorable terms. The broker was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. David also connected me to a title company (in Florida, title companies run the show) that was also easy to work with and ensured that the proceedings progressed in a timely manner. David made sure that I understood the process, answered my questions, and advocated for me. It took us five months, but I have been in my new home for the last week, and it is proving to be even better than I thought it would be. I cannot imagine having been on this journey without David. He was patient, professional, and easy to work with. He knows the Daytona market, what to look for in a unit, and the real estate business. He communicates well, responding promptly to my texts, phone calls, and emails. He also gently nudged me when I slacked off on my responsibilities. David Glidewell is an extraordinary agent, and I highly recommend using him as you look for a new home. I am pleased to answer any questions that you may have. Ed DeBerri, Ph.L.
