As first-time sellers navigating a buyers' market, we had every reason to be nervous -- and honestly, we were. But from day one, Dave brought a calm confidence that made all the difference. He explained each step of the process thoroughly, always made time for our questions, and genuinely valued our input. It never felt like we were just another transaction to him. "While we were quietly freaking out, Dave was steadily steering us in the right direction." Were there a few bumps along the way? Sure. There was some early confusion around what needed to stay with the home versus what we could take -- a learning curve for us as new sellers. And one showing caught us completely off guard. Not ideal. But to Dave's credit, he took the feedback in stride and kept the process moving. What matters most is where we landed: sold ! with a good price taking into account the market condition and on time, exactly when he said we would be. That kind of reliability in a difficult market is genuinely hard to come by. Dave earned our trust, and if we find ourselves on either side of a real estate deal again, he'll be the first call we make. Highly recommend.
Dave Maks has been our real estate agent since 2013 when we arrived in Florida. He has helped us buy and sell three houses. He is the very best in the business! My wife and I love working with Dave.
Dave Maks was wonderful in assisting our family outing our house on the market. He was there providing great advices and follow through the process with detail.
Every person that I have told how Dave handled my sale could not believe it. He did so much for me so that I was able to move right away back to my home state. Every detail was handled in a professional manner, he even picked up a hot water heater to save me money. The people I've talked with said their realtor would not do what Dave did for me. The stress from my husband's passing and scheduling a total move was lessoned by Dave's willingness to handle all the sale details including all the appointments etc. He is one heck of a realtor!
Dave Maks was an exceptional real estate agent. Many of the agents that we spoke to told us that buying new construction meant that they (the agent) would not have to do a lot as the builder takes care of everything. That concerned us. But then we talked to Dave. Dave first showed us homes all over the area as we were not 100% committed to building. He was a wonderful guide and agent during our 2 completely full days of house hunting. In the end, we decided to build. And we are so very glad that Dave was our agent. Throughout the building process Dave went to the house to take pictures and videos to help keep us informed of the progress. Since we live in Tallahassee, his updates were very much appreciated. He also attended the inspections with us and offered his advice and opinions, which were very helpful. And on top of all of this, Dave has been quick to give us advice on the selling of our home in Tallahassee. His feedback has been both invaluable and comforting. We are so very glad we got to know Dave and now value him as a friend. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a buyers agent in the greater Tampa area.
Dave is the BEST Takes care of issues so I don't have to! Exactly what I needed to sleep well at night & take naps (I'm Retired) during the day!
Dave Maks is the best in the business. He knows what he's doing and is right on top of everything. A pleasure to work with.
He was just as good as when he helped me 6 years ago as he was this time If I ever return to area, he will be called again to help me Could not ask for a more hard worker in helping me accomplish this sale Cannot thank him enough for all his hard work with this sale
In July of this year, my wife and I decided to put our home up for sale. The last time we bought or sold a home was over 33 years ago. Our agent Dave Maks was incredible. So many things have changed in real estate over the last 33 years. Dave provided excellent guidance and support to both of us. He provided his professional input on how to prepare our home and most importantly he was always there to help us when several issues a rose. We always felt confident that Dave had our best interests in mind. He was an excellent communicator with every detail making us feel very comfortable with what was happening. We can't say enough about Dave Maks professionalism and knowledge of real estate issues and procedures. We would highly recommend Dave Maks to represent anyone who is interested in selling or buying a home.
I'd use his services again, when the time comes for my next home. Reasons: fast, efficient, smooth and successful purchase of my new home and sale of my former one. No glitches, no delays.
