Testimonials

There are many things I can say about the high quality of service I provide to my home seller and home buyer clients, but probably none would be as credible as testimonials from some of my recent clients themselves.

So please take a moment to read the following testimonials. I hope they indicate my experience and integrity, as well as make it clear how much I enjoy helping people with their real estate needs.

I would be happy to email you additional testimonials if you are interested. Oh, and yes these are real quotes from real people!!!!!

"Leonid and I just wanted to thank you for the incredible job you did in getting our home sold, sold quickly and easily, for what we consider a great price!

We needed to move quickly given Leonid’s new job. You came in and assessed accurately and very professionally not only the current market conditions but our home. You advised us what to do, where to spend money and more importantly where not to spend money in our home to get the best return. Your advice with respect to staging our home was right on the mark to assist buyer’s in envisioning the home to be their home.

It’s so refreshing to have a Realtor who told us what we needed to know and not what we wanted to hear. Taking the extra time and effort to take us out to see homes that we would be competing with helped us better understand the market and the importance of “positioning the property correctly to start.” It let us make a fully informed decision. More importantly, to find us a qualified buyer and getting us almost our asking price within the first 10 days on market with all you hear about the current real estate conditions was unbelievable. Your negotiation skills, seen first hand, are unmatched! You made what could have been a painful process exceptionally easy and enjoyable.

We are always here as a reference and to attest to others not only the professionalism you bring to your job but the level of communication, understanding, and creativity. Anyone who is considering selling or buying their home would be crazy not to use you as their Realtor. Never hesitate to have them contact us should you need a reference. You can be assured that if we ever know anyone looking to buy or sell in the Greater Boston Area that we will be giving them your name and number and singing your praises!

Once again, thanks for everything you did ! You always went the extra step for us!"

Sincerely,

Leonid & Nadya Romanov

"We tried selling our townhouse on our own with no success. All we did was waste our precious free time and give ourselves additional headaches and impositions. You were able to get us an accepted offer within 10 days at a price we wanted. Working with a true professional really does make a difference! Thank you so much! - Karen, Newton

You have been so wonderful to work with. You are incredibly knowledgeable and you genuinely have your clients' best interests in mind. At the very least, we want you to know that we will always give your name as a referral to our friends, colleagues and clients who need a real estate agent. No question, you are one of the best in the business. - Jen & Anthony G., North End (of Winchester Shortly)

"We worked with David Gordon from June-August 2006 to buy our first home in Newton, MA. The best thing about working with David is the partnership he brings to the search process. As new home buyers, we found his knowledge of the area, of construction and of the overall market a great asset. We also very much liked the fact that he spent a lot of time understanding our objectives and continuously educated us by showing a wide range of properties.
Right at the beginning, David made it clear that he would share his knowledge but the choice would always be with us. At no moment did we feel pressured to choose a property or a price. In his characteristically genial way, David would lay out the pros and cons of any property we saw and leave us to make our decisions. His enthusiasm, flexibility and inexhaustible energy are inspiring and an asset to flagging spirits during the arduous and often confusing process of buying a home.
True to the statement on his website, David is not just a realtor but a real estate resource. He has remained in touch even after we closed on our home, sending us very informative tips, hints and newspaper articles as part of his regular newsletter. We have also contacted him multiple times for advice, information and suggestions. For instance, the fire alarms went off in our house one day for some unaccounted reason, and David was the second call we made (after the fire brigade). He came by at the earliest convenience to help us get to the root of the problem. We are really touched by his willingness to help.
If you are a prospective client of David’s, we hope you will choose him and have the opportunity to write about your positive experiences soon. - Vinay and Lakshmi, Newton

"David, I would like to express my gratitude for your assistance in the recent purchase of our new home. Jamie and I were new to the area, and your expertise in helping us navigate the greater Boston landscape was invaluable. Your knowledge of the market, commutability, schools, and neighborhoods in all the towns where we looked was of key importance to us.
The patience that you showed us during the process was greatly appreciated. You understood our needs and were understanding when we backed out of a sale after you’d negotiated it for us.
We are very happy with our new home, the neighborhood, schools, and neighbors have been terrific. The commute is ,just as you predicted, quite manageable.
Personally, you are a pleasure to work with. Your expertise, coupled with your calm, confident demeanor took quite a bit of stress out of what can be a tense process.
Hopefully, we will not require your services until we are ready to boot the kids out of the nest and move into a condo in the city. Rest assured, I’ve recommended you to friends already and will continue to do so..." - Jayson and Jamie, Natick

"Thank you so much for all your work and expertise in marketing and selling our home. It was a real pleasure to deal with someone in whom we had so much confidence, was a terrific negotiator and kept us fully informed throughout the whole process. Our only regret is that we were not referred to you at the very beginning as it would have saved us money, time and frustration." Mel and Anne, Newton

"We loved working with David Gordon. We were first-time home buyers and were anxious about the whole process and David was really there for us. He was knowledgeable, available and most of all, we trusted him. He seemed to really be looking out for our best interest and we never felt pressured. We're using him for our next move!" - Katie and Rob, Newton

"I rally appreciate all your time and attention throughout the house buying process. It was a relief to know I had someone knowledgeable and trustworthy on my side. Thanks again! Caren, Dedham

"David - Thank you for your tireless efforts in helping us find and purchase our first home. You always made yourself available to us and showed professionalism and patience throughout the entire process. In addition to being very pleasant to work with, you were always willing to go the extra mile when needed. We love our new home in Needham! Thanks again for all of your help." Aron and Jessica, Needham.

"David Gordon is the person who everyone buying or selling a house needs. He is very knowledgeable about the real estate market as a whole and especially within the communities in which he works.
David gave me the impression that I was his only client looking for a house to buy. David was extremely patient and accommodating with my fickle and difficult work schedule, many times happily agreeing to meet at his office or the properties before, during and after traditional work hours thus making me feel like a very valued customer. He persevered in finding properties that met my requirements which led to the purchase of the house that has become my home.
His service doesn’t stop when the purchase/sale is completed. Since I was relocating from another state and didn’t know the area, David gave me references for various services required for the purchase and continues to keep in touch.
David’s combination of being efficient yet laid-back, not pushy yet patient and determined is what typifies a good Realtor." - Joanne, Newton

David Gordon was able to accomplish a daunting task: to help us buy a home on short notice while we were living abroad. We only met him once in person - for a half-day tour of properties in Brookline and Newton - but he became a welcome lifeline to our prospects for a new life in the Boston area. With a combination of frank advice, an intuitive sense of value and timing, and a clear love of the negotiating process, David was able to get us a condo for $10,000 below what we were originally willing to pay. But that was not all - without the help of his outstanding team, including Home Inspector Paul Cornell, Mortgage Broker Angela Ramker and Attorney Scott Kriss, it would not have been possible to close the deal from overseas. And even with his job technically done, David continues to offer his services, and we know that whatever he advises we can trust. This is why it is without hesitation that we strongly suggest that you want David Gordon working on your side. When we sell our home some day... we expect there will be more David Gordon magic. - Jay and Elisabeth, Brookline
