Testimonials

“Both buying and selling a home can be extremely stressful, however Dave made the transition for us seem effortless. He provided us with the most up to date information about the real estate market and always answered any questions we had along the way. We recommend Dave every chance we get because he is an absolute treat to work with and a reliable agent who you can truly trust”.

“Unmatched, often imitated but never duplicated WORLD CLASS service. Dave Friestadt is the standard of excellence. Dave has helped my friends and myself find the property of our dreams. He will fight for you to get what you want. Extremely patient and attentive to details. Highly recommended.

“I worked with Dave while searching for the perfect Condo in downtown Toronto. I have purchased and sold several homes over the last 10 years and my experience with Dave was easily the experience I’ve had. He knows the market, he is professional, reliable and fun to work. He helped us find the perfect condo! I’ve referred my family, friends and even my clients to Dave. Highly recommended.”

“Dave worked with my wife and I for the better part of a year, guiding us through the crazy Toronto real estate market. No matter what, Dave made us feel as if we were his only clients. His attention to detail and knowledge is second to none, which he demonstrated consistently during our condo purchase and sale. We will continue to work with Dave in future transactions. Thanks Dave!”

“I worked with Dave on the purchase of our east end home and was so thankful that we had him by our side to help keep us informed and realistic about the market. Dave was strategic, put our needs first and ultimately helped us land a perfect home. Not to mention he’s a really great guy who we loved being around! I’d recommend Dave a million times over.”

“Dave was an integral part in the selling of our property. He was highly innovative and knowledgeable in introducing our home to the media. His creativeness and flair for staging our house helped us to achieve the results that we hoped. The amount of time and effort that he invested far exceeded what we had expected. We would not hesitate to recommend him, whether buying or selling a home.”

“During the process of buying our first home, a lot of friends asked my husband and I how our experience was and they were surprised when we said it had been great, and I honestly think it was great because of Dave. From the moment we met him, we felt like he truly had our best interests at heart. He walked us through the entire process, prepared us for everything and was very honest and upfront with us. As first time homebuyers, it’s kind of hard to know what questions to ask since you’re not really sure what you should know, but Dave did a great job of guiding us through the entire process and helping us quell any fears. I could go on and on about how much we enjoyed working with Dave, but the bottom line is it was an absolute pleasure, and very easy, working with him.”

David helped me find the perfect home that checked all my wish-list boxes, even though we went into the search knowing it was likely impossible to get everything I wanted in a property for my next stage of life — in the right location and at the right price. Not only is David easy to work with and translated what I was telling him I wanted, quickly, he was also up front about realities of various aspects of the market. David has an exceptional network, from movers and storage companies, to mortgage and home insurance brokers and even an electrician, creating a dream team of advocates for a single, professional woman who has very little extra time to research the resources needed for everything to fall into place. When it came to deciding to keep my previous home and turn it into a rental property, David was encouraging where other agents might be more interested in getting a listing. He helped me through the rental process and helped me find what, in early days, looks to be the ideal tenant. I’d strongly recommend David to others and I would hire him again for my next real estate investment.”

“As a real estate investor my experience with Dave Friestadt has been exceptional. Having an agent who truly understands the “income property” side of the business has been a tremendous asset. Dave could easily write a book about proper market and financial analysis, tenants needs, proper lease agreement structure, tips for keeping vacancy rates to practically non-existent, and how to effectively create a listing that appeals to the tenants every landlord dreams of. His massive network of inspectors, insurance companies, and mortgage brokers is second to none. Words cannot express my appreciation of Dave’s professionalism, expertise, experience and tireless work ethic, supported by consistent communication and remarkable patience. Without question I will absolutely be using Dave for every purchase and sale in the future and would highly recommend Dave to anyone for all their real estate needs.”

“My wife and I engaged Dave’s expertise for the sale of our town house in The Beach last winter after he achieved great results on the sale of a unit in our complex. We were both not very experienced in selling a home and he educated us very effectively with his easy to understand analysis and knowledge of the market. He was in constant contact with us discussing the vibe and real estate market in general but pertaining to our unit as well. The staging was out of this world…could not believe it was our house with our two young children.We achieved a fair price for our sale and the deal closed perfectly on time with lawyers that he recommended. I would like to emphasize his excellent real estate knowledge, very approachable manner and out of the way assistance when required. We would definitely recommend him to anyone buying or selling property.”

“Everyone in Toronto constantly discusses real estate. But you rarely hear people talk about real estate agents — except for Dave. Anyone who’s worked with him speaks about his talents in the highest terms, and for good reason: Dave is a pro. He makes the process easy, takes care of all the details and has a true sense of what his clients are looking for. Buying a home should be a happy experience, and Dave makes sure that it is.”

“Not that Dave needs another recommendation on how great of a salesman he is, I just want to add to his pile of praises as my appreciation for his effort and help in finding me a wonderful home. There are many great things to say as others have pointed out, but what impresses me the most is Dave’s attention to details in his listening skills. Not only does he make clients feel comfortable to talk to him but also actively listens and captures exactly what the clients look for – I ended up buying the first home he showed me! Unlike many “sales people”, Dave makes sure to take care of his clients and is always available to help with advice even post-sale (whether through his newsletters or Q&A via text messages about just EVERYTHING). I would definitely refer Dave to anyone who needs a good agent and adviser to hold their hands through the process.”

“Dave made my entire selling/buying experience as easy and seamless as possible. He went above and beyond the regular call of duty and really added a lot of personal touches that really made the difference in both selling my home and buying a new one. I would recommend Dave to anyone who was thinking of buying or selling. Good Luck.”

“Dave did a masterful job selling our Home back in September of 2012. From staging to negotiations he was professional, personable and answered all our questions. If he didn’t have the answer on the spot…he would find they answer for us. He sold our home for Top Dollar and it was all because of how he staged, marketed and presented our home. If you’re looking for a master agent who will stage your home like a show home, market it professionally and make you feel at ease during the whole process. Then Dave is your only choice! Thanks Dave!”

“Dave is one of the best real estates agents and business professionals we’ve ever worked with . He listens. His attention to detail is incredible and he’s not afraid to tell you what he thinks. At the same time, he always keeps the clients objectives at the top of the list. We love his ideas and his down to earth approach. His expertise, knowledge and drive helped us sell our home in under 24 hours and at the price we wanted. If you want the best, it’s Dave.”

"We have worked with David Friestadt as both our Seller's Agent and Buyer's Agent starting in 2015 and most recently during the my purchase of my condo in 2018. In all, we have had the pleasure of David as our agent 4 times over 4 years. I can't think of a better, more qualified real estate agent to work with on residential homes ,condo etc. Given the number of transactions over many years,one can surmise I have seen a number of unusual circumstances arise on a few of them, and have been grateful David is there to navigate the process with me ! During these years, David has demonstrated his commitment to being both a Buyers and Sellers Agent ,as Buyer's Agent he dedicated to staying with our determined price point and focused neighborhood priorities. And when property's condition is an issue, David has extensive remodel expertise to offer suggestions on possible risk and cost factors for me to consider. Once a contract is on the table, David provides great contract review/negotiation abilities. His friendly dispositions coupled with a strong moral compass are attributes I admire, earning respect from the community he serves. When complications arise, David is an expert in maneuvering through the difficulties of situation to find amiable solutions, even if it is required walking away from a deal. You can bet when the times comes and another change is needed, it is David Friestadt I will choose to call on to guide me through the real estate process once more !!! David still checks on me . It is rare to find a service level like what we were shown. I would recommend David to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in any area in Ontario! The bar is instantly raised when you work with David!!"

"Over the years I have worked with a number of Real Estate Agents, both for business and personal properties. David by far, is one of the best. His knowledge, guidance, passion and attention to detail, proved to be inspiring and fruitful. If you're looking for an exemplary agent, who will meet and exceed all your expectations, then David is your man."

"I can't say enough about Dave as a real estate agent and all-around great person to work with. He gives 100% attention and effort and the results speak for themselves. SELLING: Dave worked hard at staging my place for no additional fee - painting, de-cluttering, painting, bringing in new pieces & art, painting - and spent four full days doing so before we put my loft on the market. The result was selling in 48 hours, where the average for similar lofts in my building is 2-3 weeks. BUYING: Dave's attention and great listening skills also helped me to find my new dream town home that I've been living in for two months already and couldn't be happier. I am quite a picky customer so this was no easy feat! I will absolutely be using him again whenever I get tired of my new home and highly recommend him."

"Dave was a pleasure to deal with when we were shopping for our 1st home in Toronto. He did a great job listening to our needs and providing clear expectations of what we should expect through the process. Dave was very knowledgeable of the area we were most interested in and he always aimed to please. He was available around the clock and always made us feel like we were his top priority. Most importantly we ended up in our ideal home in our ideal neighbourhood, thanks to Dave. I would highly recommend Dave to anyone looking for a home in the Toronto area."

"We hired David to represent us initially as we looked to "downsize". He was incredibly patient and proactive in finding properties that might suit us and understanding and professional when we decided to stop the search as the timing was not right for us. Later in the year, we re-engaged David to list our home. He was attentive, very creative when it came to helping us ready our home for sale. His "can do" attitude and attention to detail ensure we were on the market in record time. He continued to keep us up to date, and never shied away from having the "difficult" conversation. David's extensive network and marketing initiatives meant that we managed to sell our home in what was a slow market. We would recommend David to anyone looking for an agent with integrity!"

"Dave represented us for a real estate transaction last year and provided exceptional service and results. We have bought and sold many houses in the last 20 years, and found Dave's approach proactive, attentive and refreshingly modern. He sets a new standard in superlative service. Definitely one of the best in the industry and I highly recommend Dave to service you throughout your buying and selling needs. Look forward to utilizing your expertise again, Dave!"

"David is an outstanding real estate agent who offers exceptional service, and was very accommodating. He is also very well connected and is able to assist with all of the other challenges with buying a home such as finding home inspectors, contractors and lawyers. Would definitely recommend him for new and experienced home buyers."

"Dave was a great asset in helping me find my new place. He was courteous, and highly knowledgeable and was able to answer every daunting question I had during the whole process, from conducting a private sale to the ins and outs of pre-approvals and a brand new purchase. Dave is a cut above most agents because he is not pushy but quite cordial and understanding of how overwhelming the home-buying process can be. I know if I ask him for advice, I'll be getting the honest answer and not an answer that will only help him make that sale. Thanks again!"

"If you are looking for a great agent, I highly recommend Dave Friestadt. He is very attentive to detail and goes the extra mile to help you find your dream home. He helped me find mine when I was not really sure what I was looking for in a home. Dave asked the right questions and did a lot of research to help me find a great space. I look forward to the opportunity to work with Dave in the future."

"Dave sold my condo and helped me buy my new house. My condo went for over asking... the house I purchased was under the selling price... what more can I say! Actually, I can also say that I have never experienced or even heard of a real estate agent that went as above and beyond as Dave did for me. His service level is so high that I truly could not have asked for anything more from him. I HIGHLY recommend Dave."

"When I made the decision to sell my home, I considered the qualities that I was looking for in someone to represent me. Hard working, honest, integrity and most of all ... someone who would work well with me and respect the home that I was selling. This was more than a business transaction, this was selling the home that I had loved for 14 years. Dave exceeded all the expectations that I had. He gave me honest advice and endless support. The end result was that my home sold in 24 hours, for more than asking!!!!! What more could I want. He's fantastic and I highly recommend him!"

"Dave is a consummate professional. He provides sound advice and is very responsive, open and honest. He represents his clients with integrity and negotiates diligently on their behalf. The level of service that he delivers is outstanding. He’s our agent and I highly recommend him."

"Desire to understand, delivering above expectations and extreme diligence is what sets Dave apart. His professionalism, eagerness to listen and attention to detail were highly appreciated and ultimately led to winning our business against many other agents. He also has a knack for creativity and a vision of design which goes a long way for the post sales experience. I couldn't be more happy with my new loft in the heart of the city and given the chance, I highly recommend the opportunity to meet or work with David!"

"Throughout the whole renting process, Adam was very accommodating, communicative, and always on our side. Never once we felt like he trying to rush us into a decision or to get things over with. Even though we faced many difficulties, Adam was very determined to find us our new beautiful home in Toronto. I'd definitely do business with him again and wholeheartedly recommend his services."

"Adam was the agent for the sale of our condo and the purchase of our new house. Working with him was an absolute pleasure. He was extremely professional and attentive to our needs and always available to answer our questions. We were able to sell our condo for considerably over asking thanks to Adam’s knowledge of the Toronto real estate landscape combined with his personalized marketing strategy for our condo. Adam will give you 150% and has your best intentions in mind. We would recommend him to anyone who wants the best"
