Testimonials Over the time I’ve been a realtor, some folks have said some very nice things about me. I’ll pass them along here, without fanfare. As a first-time homebuyer and a newcomer to Jersey City with a busy schedule and a tight timeline to buy, I couldn’t have been more fortunate to find a real estate agent like David Leonard. His knowledge of Jersey City and it housing market together with his experience and keen sensitivity to his buyers’ needs and desires, make him the ideal person to work with. Right from our very first meeting, he not only answered my questions effectively and thoroughly – and I had many -- but he helped me figure which were the important questions to ask and factors to consider. He was incredibly good at helping identify my priorities given what I could realistically afford. Then, he masterfully compiled a list of homes to match my needs and exceed my expectations. I ultimately ended up buying a place that was much better than anything I could have imagined, and it was a place David showed me on our very first outing, which proves how precise he is at finding the right home for his clients. I confess that it did take me a little while and a many visits to other homes to realize how on target he had been right from the start. But even beyond his uncanny judgment and match-making abilities, the one thing that I really valued about working with David was that, despite the fact that he always knew better, he never undermined my requests to show me units that wouldn’t work for me, but I insisted on seeing. Trust his judgment; you’ll save a lot time. What else to say about my experience working with David? Throughout the process, he was attentive to my needs and my budget; patient with my questions, even the silly ones; quickly responsive to my requests in person, by phone, via email; resourceful and never patronizing – all very important factors to me as a single female buying my first home in a city I hardly knew and under quickly changing mortgage regulations. You simply can’t go wrong working with him, I’m glad I did. As first-time buyers, we found David to be the perfect partner to help us find our first home. He led us through the entire process, from the first open house to closing, with patience and a thorough approach. He is very knowledgeable about Jersey City's market, and it's clear he is a real estate agent for all the right reasons as his personality and outlook made the experience fun. We'd be confident in recommending him to all our friends and family." David has been a great help in understanding our needs and guiding us through the process of buying our first home which my wife and I love. Willing to spend as much time as is necessary to show us potential homes, put together a bid, discuss our concerns, and answer our questions, David is a person you feel is always looking out for your interests. Most importantly, David's accessibility and knowledge of the current local markets provided us with insight and gave us a level of comfort and assurance throughout the process." As harrowing as it is looking for a new house, a safe place to live, a home to raise a family, David made the process easy and enjoyable. Extremely knowledgeable about Jersey City, its background, and which neighborhoods are growing, David made it comfortable for us, especially coming from out of state. He helped guide us through the nerve-racking process of bidding, applying for a mortgage, having the home inspected, and making sure we had all of our paperwork in order to have a smooth closing. Having gone through the process of home buying in the area himself, he had many reliable contacts to recommend to us; from lawyers and contractors to even oil tank inspectors. Which was a comfort since just going through a phone book and picking a random name is an uncomfortable task. Who do you trust? Are they dependable? These are questions that can keep you up at night... I would recommend David to anyone looking for a home, not only does he have a keen business sense when approaching real estate but he's highly personable. David took an arduous and daunting time in our lives and made it fun and stress-free. We hope that we never have to buy another home, but if we do, the only realtor we would think of using is David Leonard
