David helped us buy our first home. Our friend recommended David to us and we were so lucky that we chose David. He is responsive: we never had any problem get a hold of him. From scheduling tours to discussing offers, he can always get back to us right away. He is professional: he never tried to talk us into buying a home, instead he tells us hidden problems of the house that we never thought of. When making offers, he will tell us we should not offer more when he thinks it does not worth the money. He is patient: for the first inspection report, we asked literally thirty questions. He answered all of them in great details without complaining. This year the market was crazy that we ended up spent a long time and made a lot of offers with him, but he treated us the equally good from day... Show More

Dave was great. He made buying our first house easy. He explained everything to expect and kept in touch with us throughout the entire process. Above all he made us feel comfortable. He wasn't just there to make a quick sale. At the end of everything we felt more like family than buyers. Thanks again Dave.

I got a lot of advice when searching for an agent to help us purchase our first family home. Much of it was recommendations for friends of friends who were agents. The Bay Area is a tough market and I like to go with the data so I triangulated agents with the most sales in our targeted areas with available reviews. We interviewed a number of agents and chose David... then hoped that we’d made the right decision. :) We were extremely fortunate to have chosen David. From the very start he was transparent and honest, advising us on when we should and should not buy. He never pressured us. He coached us on what to look for in terms of red flags in a home, how to add value in future, how much various renos would cost, and when to hold off because the market was not in our favor. He was... Show More

We have used Dave Tapper many times on real estate transactions. Coming from a family of realtors he is one of the best! Our house sold over $900,000 because of his advice and recommendations.

David was a good partner to have in buying our first home. We were new to California and always got good advice from David. He makes himself available at really any hour of the day 7 days a week. He is quite experienced and has a good reputation in the area, which can be beneficial if you are like us and don’t know the area too well. He was patient in explaining a lot of nitty gritties since we do ask a lot of questions. He is trustworthy and a hard worker who always looks out for his client. We would be remiss if we don’t mention his hard negotiation skills, which we appreciated a lot to have on our side. He has a good team of people ranging from lenders to title company so we felt we were always taken care of by David throughout the process.

David sold my home during Covid and since I was not local for this transaction, he helped prepare my condo for sale. He is profession, responsive and takes an active role in the home selling process – setting the right price, strategy for showing/marketing the home, managing inspections and appraisals, qualifying buyers, negotiating favorable terms, and ensuring very smooth process. I highly recommend David Tapper to anyone that is looking to sell or purchase a home.

Dave is professional and extremely responsive!! When I interviewed Dave he was extremely knowledgeable in explaining the process of selling our home and offered excellent advice for prepping our home for sale. I’ve recommended Dave to some friends and he sold their home as well. I would hire Dave again in a split second!!

David held our hands during the entire process and got us top dollar for our property. I have already referred him to other prospects.

David is an amazing home-buying partner. He is professional, but personal; caring, but honest; and most importantly, someone that I could trust & rely on throughout the process. I respect and appreciate all he does for his clients and I can confidently say he goes above and beyond to ensure they find the perfect home. After getting to know him, I saw him less as my agent and more as a friend that had my back. I highly recommend David to any and all homebuyers (especially first timers, like myself).

David was the ultimate professional, everything went very smooth without the normal stress of a real estate transaction. He was very accessible and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend David and his team.

David is super knowledgeable about real estate, and very skillful about negotiation. He not only helped us find our new home, but also offered lots of suggestions about remodeling / interior updates. But David’s expertise isn’t limited to the peninsula; we used him to sell our Fremont home. thanks to him and we got ~10 offers which was very impressive for his first sale in the area.

My family and I have used Dave Tapper over the past 20 years. This includes many real estate transactions, I think at least 7. He's trustworthy, compassionate, punctual, responsive (answers phone calls immediately), knowledgeable, professional. I trust him fully (100%) !! I would recommend him to everyone I know. My nephew is now his client.

We were working with a realtor who had told us that we needed to complete extensive upgrades on our home before she could put our house on the market. A friend referred Dave Tapper to us and what a reference!!! Dave is an extremely hard working, driven, knowledgeable, experienced and considerate professional. We immediately felt at ease when we met with Dave. His foresight and planning made the sell of our home seem so much easier than we had imagined. Dave kept us continuously informed and had a positive outlook at all times. We were able to sell our home in a very short amount of time all because of Dave Tapper. We will look forward to referring him to someone we know so they will enjoy and benefit from the experience of working with Dave.

David was exactly what we were looking for in a real estate agent. He was knowledgeable, responsive, flexible and a true expert in real estate. He knew the neighborhoods and schools inside and out, and quickly became familiar with our style and what we were looking for. He then helped us negotiate a great deal once we found our home. We continue to recommend David to all of our Bay Area friends!

We have used David for two purchases and one sale and we couldn’t be happier with the excellent service we received from him. He was always available to answer questions, to show a home to us, or to quell anxieties. He is very in-tune to the complexities of the Bay Area real estate scene and really helped us navigate our first home purchase here, which is why we chose him to sell that house and represent us while purchasing another home. You can’t go wrong by choosing him as your realtor with either a sale or a purchase!

David represented us with the sale of my aunt's house in S.F. last year. From start to finish, David was professional, flexible, communicative, efficient & knowledgeable. He achieved a fantastic sale price & managed the negotiations very well. I would not hesitate to recommend David Tapper. He takes real pride in his job & obviously enjoys his work; a breathe of fresh air!

Fantastic service, and straightforward communication. Dave is not just the kind of person you can trust to take care of things, he also has the experience to know how to get things done right. We've used Dave twice in the past, and will use him again in the future.
