“As out of town buyers, we completely relied on Dave for everything and he was rock solid in every way. He was our eyes and ears during the inspection process and we trusted him completely. His experience and knowledge of Santa Barbara real estate is super in depth and his character is impeccable. Overall, working with Dave made the buying process extremely smooth and enjoyable. I would highly recommend him!”

- Shelly V.


“David worked with us for a year and half to find the perfect home. He was extremely knowledgable, low pressure (so rare in an agent!), and tech savvy - answering uncounted late night texts without wincing. Unlike some of the realtors we encountered in our search, Dave always seemed to give us advice that lined up with our interests, not his own. I give him my strongest recommendation.”

- Ben M.


“I moved to Santa Barbara for work and Dave was an amazing help when I was ready to purchase a home. After a month of looking Dave found the perfect place and immediately pushed me to come see it before it was listed. Dave was able to close the deal before the house ever hit the MLS and internet. Dave was amazing with all of the piles of paper work, helping me find the perfect lender to fit my needs, and closing the Deal! Thanks Dave, so glad you were my realtor on this purchase!”

- Barb M.


“Dave went over and above to help us sell our home. From the early stages of the process, he was hands-on and took on a lot of responsibility in getting our home ready for sale. He was great to work with and always kept us calm as we moved through the process. He was very accommodating in scheduling showings around our schedule, and kept us very well informed of all the steps that lied ahead once we accepted an offer and went into escrow. Selling a home is a very stressful process, but working with Dave made the experience as stress-free as possible.”

- Dawn M.


“Working with Dave has been an absolute pleasure. He is attentive, methodical and patient in his approach - he represented us on multiple successful transactions, and we will continue to go to him for future opportunities because he knows the market and has taken the time to get to know us. We trust him entirely and absolutely recommend him.”

- Manu S.


“We were very happy with David. When we met him, we were feeling frustrated and like we'd never find a house but he helped us secure our dream home. We recommend him to anyone looking for a stellar real estate agent.”

- Kisha G.


“Given Dave's deep knowledge of Santa Barbara County's real estate market, his personal care/understanding placed into our desires for a home and his ability to negotiate in a professional manner, I unreservedly recommended Dave's services to all. In fact, I have already connected him with multiple colleagues looking for a home!”

- Jonathan W.


“Dave is a delight to work and I had the utmost trust in his advice and judgement throughout the process. He is knowlegeable and professional and his sense of humor and reassurances were most appreciated. I highly recommend Dave.”

- Carey H.


“We are very glad that we had chosen David to assist us in finding a home in Santa Barbara. He was always accessible and willing to take that extra step to assist us. He has a pleasant and relaxed demeanor which put us at ease at a time when we were feeling anxious. He is very knowledgeable about the area and was even able to provide us with referrals to painters and contractors, even after we closed on the house. We would highly recommend David to anyone looking to purchase or sell their home in the Santa Barbara area.”

- Dirk L.


“Dave was with us from beginning to end, day and night, no matter when we needed him. Really exceptional service, and he really cared about getting things done smoothly and to our benefit.”

- Ian S.


“Dave went above and beyond to bring this escrow to a successful closing. Very professional and I would highly recommend him to help you with your real estate needs.”

- Fae P.


“Dave is great to work with. He walked me through the purchase of a condo in Santa Barbara by answering all my questions (first-time buyer) and working through issues that arose in a calm and productive manner. He is very professional and has great perspective when discussing options, what you're  looking for, and what to do with the property once you find one you like! Thanks Dave for all your help!”

- Matt L.


“All I can say is David is a GREAT Real Estate agent. He has worked with my family on more than one SB property transaction over the years. Now that he has opened his own agency I cannot see why anyone in the SB area would engage any other agency than Realign Real Estate for either buying or selling a home. You will get a hard worker, honesty, transparency and a personal touch for your experience. I think he really is a star in the SB real estate realm.”
