Dave Call

After living in our home for 30+ years in Saratoga my wife and I decided to sell. The decision to sell was one roller coaster ride of emotions because of all the history we had in our home. During that time Dave was nothing but professional, understanding and caring. He was very supportive throughout the whole process and had us take our time to make sure that selling the home is what we wanted.
Once we made our decision to sell our home sold quickly because of the guidance from Dave directing us with what to do. Dave was very positive from the first day we called him and made the whole transaction seem easy and smooth to the end of escrow.
The bottom line, if I ever sell or buy another home Dave is the man I will go to.

When a home we loved in Lake Oswego, OR came on the market, we had 4 days to stage our home of 43 years here in Saratoga. Dave’s efficiency, guidance and patience resulted in a 2 day-​open house, with multiple offers above the asking price.
Dave was in daily contact with both us, and our agent in Lake Oswego, in the whole process of dealing with selling and buying in CA and OR.
It was thanks to Dave’s honesty, fairness and devotion to his profession. that we never felt pressured or stressed during any part of the whole process.
We truly feel that we chose the best agent in the business!

Dave pulled off nothing short of a miracle for our family. Our close of escrow happened to be the same day that our second son was to be born. He was able to get us into our home the Saturday before our son was born by working with our lender, escrow officer, and by negotiating terms with the seller’s agent. Moving into our home the Saturday before our son was born made the world of difference for us and that was because of Dave.
Dave knows what he is doing as a seasoned professional. He has great relationships with other agents in the area. He doesn’t use an assistant which makes it easy to work with him. He is always responsive to phone calls, emails, texts. He is always available to visit properties with you and give you honest feedback. As a first time home buyer he was able to point out things to look for that we never thought of. Dave was a great resource during the offers and counter offers process. I doubt you’ll find a better agent in the area, save your time and call Dave.

I can’t say enough good about Dave. The buyers agent in the sale of our home was extremely difficult to work with and frankly, played games with us for whatever reason. That just encouraged Dave to work harder and much to our utter relief and joy, our sale went through well above asking price. Dave really knows his stuff and the market better than anyone I have worked with in the business and knows exactly what to do in all situations. Even if it’s a situation he hasn’t seen much, he will reach out to trusted fellow agents and do research to obtain the most optimal result. We HIGHLY recommend Dave. He knows and has such a passion for the business and will work hard to keep his clients happy.

I recently needed to sell my mother’s home in Saratoga and chose Dave Call to list the property because he was established in the area, fielded my questions well, sent me the data I needed, and in every way conducted himself professionally.
In our discussion on how to market the property, I did not agree with him on all points, but certainly did on most. He respected the differences, and we worked out a strategy.
As it was, the home was sold before it went to market. While I was still finishing the needed repairs, someone contacted Dave expressing serious interest.
So Dave was stuck in the uncomfortable position of representing both seller and buyer. You might think that would be great for a real estate agent. Not necessarily. In that case, they must walk a very fine line or they can severely damage their reputation. For someone who has an established reputation, that will give great pause.
Dave presented the situation to me, asked me what I thought of him handling both sides of the transaction, and suggested that I might want another realtor to represent the buyer. I considered it for a while, then assured him I had no problem with him «double ending» the deal.
The deciding factor, to me, was the professionalism Dave had shown up to that point.
The deal was made quickly, Dave handled everything in both a knowledgeable and professional way, and he now has another satisfied client.
Selling or buying a home is tricky – there are always potential pit-​falls. I have made eleven real estate transactions over the last few decades and know the value both of doing your homework adequately and hiring a professional with good character.
I highly recommend Dave Call. He displayed good character in all my dealings with him, is very knowledgeable, and in my opinion is a consummate professional.

Dave was fantastic to work with. Thanks to him, we were able to buy our first house on a limited budget in this insane market. He quickly became familiar with our must-​haves vs nice-​to-​haves and only showed us houses that fit our wants/​needs. He was patient with us as we learned the ropes of making competing offers and participating in this extremely competitive market. He was easy to talk to when we had questions and always made time to meet with us when we asked to pick his brain about a certain property or whatever. If you’re going to be buying or selling a home in the area, you’d definitely be smart to work with Dave.

Dave Call is a consummate professional!
Following a significant business setback, we needed to sell our home and downsize in rapid fashion. Dave worked with us to identify what were the most economical steps for us to take to get top dollar for our 4,000 square foot home in Campbell. Based on his advice and help finding quality contractors who could work on short notice, we made major updates and renovations that got us an excellent price for our Campbell home.
In the process, we discovered that Dave is a strategic thinker and excellent tactician. His skills in presenting and showing our home, as well as negotiating with buyers, netted us top dollar in the market. We were very pleased!
But Dave did not stop there. Having sold our home before having a new one to move into, Dave took it upon himself to look for homes coming onto the market. He found one close to our just sold home, and got us an advanced view. With Dave’s help we managed to research the property, make an offer, and close on the property before it was first shown publicly. What is more, he helped us negotiate a price 15% below market value in Los Gatos at a time when the market was on an upswing!
I strongly encourage anyone looking for the best, most professional and experienced real estate agent in the Saratoga, Los Gatos and Campbell areas to contact Dave Call. He will not disappoint!

Dave recently helped us find a home. He is what I would call a «seasoned professional». Knows the business, the pit-​falls, the market trends… and most importantly he knows how to negotiate fairly, honestly and transparently so that both parties are happy with the outcome and feel like they got a good deal. He didn’t just explain the complex processes, he walked us through them, patiently, and offered his expert advice through-​out. Indeed after we moved in he continued to offer us help and advice and checked-​in periodically with us. Apart from all that, Dave is a good guy, nice to talk too, easy to engage with, and fun. He’s the first person we will turn too when we’re ready to go through this process again. I would unconditionally recommend Dave to help you buy or sell a home.

Dave was so wonderful to work with! We recently purchased our first home with him. He was so knowledgable about the area we were interested and bent over backwards to help our little family find the perfect home for us. We always felt like he had our best interest in mind and was there to help us in anyway we needed. We would highly recommend him to anyone searching in the area to find a home. He truly was a miracle worker for our family!

Dave represented us in our recent home purchase. At first we were skeptical, having had some not-​so-​great experiences with realtors in the past. But Dave is everything a realtor should be. From the very beginning, he was a thorough, intelligent and patient advisor and advocate. He thought of absolutely everything, and vigilantly watched out for our best interests throughout the entire transaction. Any question, concern or request we had was responded to and followed up on promptly; once we mentioned it to Dave, we knew it would be taken care of. During the transaction, Dave was an excellent consensus builder, making sure that we, as well as the seller, were comfortable with the way things were happening. He was even able to help us negotiate an early close, which was very helpful to us.
It’s a delicate balance for a realtor to be both a strong advocate for their client and at the same time be savvy enough to navigate the delicate situations that invariably arise during a home buying or selling transaction. Dave strikes that balance perfectly; he’s a smart, classy guy with a great sense of humor, well-​respected and established in the Valley, and exactly the type of person you want to represent you, especially in this increasingly competitive market.
We tremendously enjoyed working with Dave, so much so that we actually consider him a friend and look forward to inviting him to dinner once we get some of these boxes unpacked!
