I will definitely be referring your group to my friends and family...

There is no way (Read: literally ZERO possibility) I could have gotten my short sale done without Sam and Dave on my team! Their services were invaluable, as the bank I dealt with requested not only massive amounts of paperwork but they did so frequently and I, like most people, do not always have the time (or patience J) during the day to address such requests. Sam, on the other hand, was right on it- at times, even completing the blanks for me so I could simply sign, date, and get on with my life. We kept in frequent contact via text, phone and email. She answered 95% of the time and in the rare instances she did not, she always called back promptly. When the bank dragged its feet, Sam escalated things, at one point even pushing for a new representative when she felt my file was being mismanaged. Selling a house is stressful enough and I am sure that had I had to handle the nonstop back and forth with the bank, I would have given up out of pure frustration. Sam, however, was always there to “talk me off the cliff” as it were, and in the end, she was right- I was able to successfully complete my short sale and couldn’t be more grateful! I will definitely be referring your group to my friends and family if they should ever find themselves in a similar situation! Thanks again for everything!!!

I am very satisfied with how they handled my situation...

I was going through a tough time in my life and was forced into a financial bind with my home, I tried to sell my home on many occasions, but with the real estate market crashing, I could not get the price I needed to satisfy the mortgage. I struggled for 2+ years trying to figure out a solution that wouldn't jeopardize my credit worthiness by just walking away from the property and settling for foreclosure, I was at the end of my rope and my bank account was emptied from trying to maintain the mortgage on my property. I didn't know what to do or who to call, then my Realtor suggested the O'Donnells to me and explained what they did for people such as myself in this type of financial bond. I have to admit in the beginning I was very skeptical, I didn't trust anyone with my personal information and wasn't sure if this was some scheme for someone to scam me for money or make my situation worst, So I was hesitant at first to call, So I decided to call to at least hear what their plan of action was for a situation such as mine. So I made the call to Dave O'Donnell. WOW I was totally shocked that this gentleman never met me before but had the patient to listen to my entire situation and answer all the questions that I had at that time. He explained in Full detail what his plan of action was for me and how he was going to execute it. He gave me simple directions I had to submit to him in order for him to get start, and did I mention it didn't cost me a single dollar out of my pocket, His earnings came from the end of the process with the buyer and the bank, I felt relieved that I had someone to help me through this process and was on my team. I have to admit there was a lot of challenges thrown at us and I wasn't use to this type of transaction, However Dave was and he handle every detail of the obstacles so well that I knew he was going to resolve this problem for me no matter what came our away I was IMPRESSED. Not one time did I have to deal with the mortgage company at all, once I gave the O'Donnell's the power of attorney for my case, all my phone calls went and came from them and I was more than comfortable that they were handling them. They kept me informed every step of the way Mrs. O'Donnell sent me emails weekly if not daily keeping me updated of new finding or anything I need to respond to. The faster I turned the information over to her she executed them to the proper people to move the process quickly. I am very satisfied how they handled my situation and the professionalism they use. I don’t know what I would have done without them. THANK YOU AGAIN. If I had to do over again I would have called them FIRST instead of stressing and trying to handle the mortgage company myself.  If you want the job done right, call the O'Donnell’s. If anyone has any doubt of their ability I can be reached anytime to confirm this company is THE REAL DEAL and the best in the business.

I will use them for all future home purchases or sales. I would not consider anyone else.

I contacted Dave when I decided I no longer wanted to rent my townhouse, but to sell it instead.  My goal was to sell for a low price so it would sell quickly.  I asked for a sale in 3 months.

Dave met me immediately.  He made me feel my house had more value than I assumed.  He encouraged me to list it for a higher price than I had planned.  He supported his price with comparisons of others sold or for sale in the neighborhood.  After we signed a contract, he added homey fixtures to my home, and took photos.  The photos he posted online after his work took me by surprise!  Dave made my home far more beautiful than I left it!  His services were valuable and surpassed my needs.

I received my 1^st offer @ 2 weeks! Dave helped me negotiate the response.  He educated me on the best way to compromise with the “buyer” and what was reasonable and unreasonable.  He taught me to be patient and do not jump at the 1^st offer because others would follow.  He was correct!  Dave kept me informed on each offer of my home, and returned all my calls and questions the same day.  He is always courteous and is more than fair.

When I accepted the offer, Dave continued to provide full service and educate me through the inspection and repair process to continue to sale. He contacted the servicemen for the necessary repairs I needed to make.  He made it so easy for me!  And cost effective! 

Dave met me at settlement and continued to be my ally and answer my questions.

*In the end, Dave sold my home for a larger profit than I thought possible in less time than I anticipated.*

I could not have asked for a better realtor!  I will use Dave for all future home purchases or sales.  I would not consider anyone else.

I have already given Dave’s information to a friend who wants to sell her home and will give it to anyone who asks “do you know a good realtor?” because I think he is the best.

They kept us at east during an emotional transaction...

Dave and Sam were wonderful to work with. We were way upside down in our house and had to move out of the area for our jobs. We were at a loss of how to turn a frustrating process around. We wanted to give our house a good owner and for us to move on in life. Dave and Sam did that for us. They really went through all the details for the complicated sale and kept us at ease during an emotional transaction. They also found the easiest way to work with us and our busy schedules which made the process so much easier to handle. I would recommend anyone to Dave and Sam whether it be a first time home, a family home you have owned for years or a quick flip – they'll take the time to understand your needs and will help you achieve your end goal. 

Thanks again we appreciate all your help!

We needed to rehab and resell a home from 1000 miles away....

We needed to rehab and resell a home from a 1,000 miles away.  Obviously, we were in fear of being taken advantage of.  Dave & Sam O’Donnell were totally upfront, efficient, and very astute about laws & requirements.  They found proficient subs for the job & were on top of the project on a daily basis.  They were always available to answer questions & keep us advised of progress with photos.  They definitely treated the project as if it were their own.  After rehab, Dave did a terrific job of marketing & selling the property promptly.  We not only recommend them but would be happy to enter additional projects with them in the future.  It is always a joy to work with honest & ethical people.

It was my good fortune to have you represent me in selling my dear friend's home while residing almost a thousand miles away.

I want to say that it was certainly my pleasure and good fortune to have met you and have you represent me in selling my dear friend’s home while residing almost a thousand miles away.  As I’m sure you realized at the time, it was not easy for me to become involved in the process given not only the distance, but all the thoughts and emotions of losing a close and longtime friend whom my wife and I shared so many memories with over the years.  What seemed to be a monumental task of selling the house was greatly reduced to a few small tasks on my behalf, as you reached out and coordinated the entire sales process, with all its challenges and the nitty-gritty work that went along with it.  As I mentioned on several occasions, you did a yeoman’s job on each and every aspect of the process, going beyond what one might have expected, but I guess that’s what makes you an “outstanding” realtor and a true “professional”.  Again, I want to thank you for all your assistance and hard work, and I want you to know I value you, not only as a realtor, but as a new friend and should you find yourself in Florida please give me a call. Best regards,
