Testimonials:

I worked with David Zimkin this year in acquiring a rental property.  From the very first conversation I had with David until today, long after the close of escrow, I have found David to be professional, knowledgeable, responsive and diligent.   He listened to my needs and showed me many qualifying properties which met my criterion.  He helped me develop a winning strategy to tie up the property and secured a sizable discount with the sellers while in escrow.  It was a complicated purchase and David was instrumental in making the deal work.

I would recommend David to anyone with real estate brokerage needs and would definitely use David again myself for my future real estate needs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dave is knowledgeable, patient and an excellent sales person.   I'm a Real Estate Broker and I have been in and around this business for 20 years. I have managed hundreds of agents.  I am also an Attorney and a General Contractor.  When a person with my background decides to use a broker, it's because that broker brings value to the table.  Dave brings a lot to the table, and can be trusted to work hard on a principle's behalf.  More importantly, Dave gets results. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Dave Zimkin, always on the ball, always a pleasure to work with!”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are finally unpacked in our new home and loving every minute!

We cannot thank you enough for stepping in and saving us from a real estate 'drowning". With all the unknowns in this market and economy, it was refreshing to find someone who was honest, upfront and diligent, making sure things happened and moved along in the process.

You understood our family's needs, found the best home for us, and did everything in your power to make the closing as smooth and fast as possible.  We appreciated the advise and expertise you shared, from the finance contacts to the home warranty security.  It was a pleasure to work with you.  We will be sure to recommend your services to others.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I’ve known Dave for almost 10 years and in that time I’ve gotten to know both his approach to business as well as his approach to life.  In addition to being a great father, Dave is passionate about his business. He is driven by doing right by his clients and creating value through his representation.  I would immediately recommend Dave for anyone seeking a strong advocate, a knowledgeable advisor, or a skilled negotiator to work on your behalf in any of your real estate needs.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a Bank Owned Escrow Officer, I work with thousands of Brokers and Realtors on a monthly basis. I can not express enough how refreshing it is to work with Dave.  I can always rely on Dave to have an answer to a question without delay, and if he doesn’t he goes to great measures to get the answer or matter resolved quickly.  My escrows are never delayed when he is representing the property, in fact most often his files close early!  He is highly efficient and assertive, anticipates problems and quickly identifies solutions.  His work ethic and tenacity coupled with his industry knowledge makes him a preferred Broker and a pleasure to work with.  His drive, and motivation to succeed, while ensuring the legal and ethical boundaries is far above and beyond what is customary in this industry.  I would recommend Dave to anyone and could not trust anyone else more.

“Simply stated, Dave continually finds a way to make it happen.  His hard work, creative thought process, and determination to find options to solve any issues, makes Dave stand apart from all other Realtors I’ve worked with.”

“Mr. Zimkin is on top of his game when he guided me through my first investment property purchase through the end. It was the most difficult of circumstances surrounding this transaction from the market conditions to the seller’s demands: fortunately Dave navigated me through the process. I was so impressed by Dave’s knowledge, integrity and relentless work ethic that I immediate asked him to help out my friends and family. Thanks to Dave I now own a great investment and can recommended to anyone without reservation the use of his paramount service. Best of all is I walked away with a friend”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From day one I noticed the difference working with Dave Zimkin. I could tell his priority was to help me find the right property for me and that he would do whatever it took to help me find just the right one. Even steer me clear of bad situations. I know David is working with and for me.”-Joseph

I have known Dave Zimkin since grade school, and he has always been a person of high moral character and a hard worker. You will not find a better Real Estate Broker and a more “real” person in Mr. Zimkin.  Dave will always find a way to get things done and will work above and beyond to meet the needs of his clients,  not to mention he is a great guy to go out with and enjoy life with.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I have known Dave for many years as both a friend and business 'consultant'.  He has helped my family three separate times in evaluating home purchases and structuring the best loan options available in the marketplace.  All three times, his assistance, follow through and advice has been nothing short of spectacular. I always seek Dave's knowledge of my real estate and mortgage decisions. If you have the opportunity to work with Dave, I highly recommend Dave and his dedication to his work; follow through; and overall knowledge of the real estate market"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“As a first time home buyer and being from a different country I was scared to buy a home in America. Dave guided me in an excellent way through the whole process.  I felt very secure with him. He is somebody who gets things done, is able to explain everything and the most important thing he is listening to his client needs. Even on the weekends when I had an urgent question, I was able to get a response quickly and satisfying.
Thanks a lot and I will definitely recommend him to my friends and everybody who is looking for a professional broker.”

“Dave, you have to stop by my house to enjoy the view, it is so beautiful & very peaceful.

Thanks for everything. U ARE GREAT! We know that our choice of Real Estate Broker is right”.

"Dave Zimkin is top notch in our book of real estate professionals.  He provides first class service alongside professionalism and market expertise.  We were pleasantly surprised to find out that even in a challenging market Dave is able to analyze and negotiate diligently in order to meet deadlinse that are at times unrealistic.  He is also a superior communicator with banks and is able to cut through the red tape getting to the critical issues in record time.  Dave is also a pleasant personality to work with always keeping in mind the goals of the clients he represents.

We definitely recommend Dave for any real estate transactions in the San Diego market and its surroundings."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"When my wife and I started our home search, we discovered Dave through his website.  As an active duty naval officer new to San Diego area, I had little knowledge of the area.  We met Dave for a look at some prospective homes in August 2010, and he immediately impressed me with his depth of knowledge of the local area, and with his professionalism, integrity and ethics.  He quickly grasped what our needs were, and provided sound counsel and clear explanations of some of the more complicated aspects of real estate purchasing.  Over the next 5 months, he was constantly available to discuss our needs and look at possible homes.  When Dave works for you, he is a skillful and assertive negotiator on your behalf, always protecting your interests and never pushing you beyond your comfort zone when it comes time to make this major life decision.  He follows through, and does exactly what he says he will do.  We are extremely happy with the house we finally closed on, and if we ever find ourselves in the market again, Dave will be the first and only broker I call."

We bought AND sold our house with Dave. Both times we couldn't have been more pleased. Dave exceeds expectations. You tell him what you need and he MAKES IT HAPPEN. Period. He is highly motivated, professional, and most of all he can be trusted to get you the best possible price whether you are buying or selling. He guided us through every offer with well thought through strategy and skill. Beyond that, he really goes the extra mile just to help, answer questions, etc. His contacts in the industry are invaluable and came in handy many times throughout the process, and his knowledge of the buying and selling process completely put us at ease as first time buyers and sellers. We highly recommend Dave and wouldn't use any other realtor/broker if we bought again in the San Diego area.

David,

I just wanted to let you know that it was a pleasure working with you!  Shortsales are tough, but working with someone like you made it a smooth ride for all of us.  Cindy is lucky to have you represent her and we wish all of you the best too.  Thank you and may our paths cross again!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our experience with Dave was wonderful! We are newly engaged, first-time home buyers, and we found our perfect home thanks to Dave. Throughout the process, Dave was extremely helpful and happy to answer any questions we had...and we had a lot! He is a real expert at what he does and he worked so hard to help us get this property. We heard short sales can take forever and be a real pain, but we were in our home in record time! He exceeded our expectations and we will recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Thanks again Dave!
