Metro Detroit Dave

After years of searching for the perfect home and working with several realtors who seemed more focused on making a sale than finding what we truly wanted, we were beginning to lose hope. Then we met Dave Lamarand, and everything changed. From day one, Dave was honest, patient, and genuinely interested in helping us find a home that fit our needs. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and provided valuable insight into potential structural issues in homes we toured. We never once felt pressured — just supported. Dave truly went above and beyond to help us find our dream home, and we are so thankful for his dedication and professionalism. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly cares and will put in the time and effort to find your perfect home, we highly recommend Dave Lamarand!

Dave was the single most responsive, personable, & helpful person in our home-buying process. When I told him we were ready to start looking at homes, he encouraged me to send him a handful of listings that we could see the following day, in which he had to drive 45 minutes to my side of town. He was patient with my wife & I, as this was our first time experiencing the home buying process. Our first day we toured 4 houses. The following day we viewed 3 more, and upon viewing the 3rd decided to place an offer at asking price. This is where Dave’s skills as a realtor truly shined most. In person, Dave asked the seller if we submitted a full-priced offer that night, if he would accept. The seller confirmed that he would, but that he had a couple more showings after ours that night. Dave drove home and instantly prepared the offer. We signed right away, and sent to the seller. We found out soon after that the seller had received another offer. Dave suggested adding an appraisal guarantee, which we agreed to. Right after sending the appraisal guarantee, the seller accepted and agreed to sign in the morning, which he did. Our house appraised at value, and the appraisal guarantee didn’t even need to be utilized. We are so grateful that Dave had the motivation, business knowledge, and professionalism to get our offer accepted and signed so quickly after touring the house. In this insane market, you need a realtor that acts fast and has tricks up his sleeve when the deal needs sweetening. Dave is that realtor. In addition, Dave’s referrals for services like inspection, title company, etc were all spot on. We were blown away by the quality of our inspection, and the title company Dave referred us to were also incredible. The only hang up in the whole process was the lender that I chose. I bet if I would’ve chosen the lender that Dave works frequently with, our closing would’ve been EVEN MORE smooth. This man knows what he is doing. We will forever be grateful to Dave for the hard work he put into landing us our home. He was always professional, always on time, always well dressed and prepared with documents, and always in a positive mood. We would hire him again in a second, and would refer him to anyone. We can’t thank you enough, Dave! UPDATE: We hired Dave again. This time to help us sell our starter home. Again, he was always immediate at answering our questions. He drove out see our house (a long way from his home market) and had a nicely written listing up promptly. Showings started on Thursday, and went through Monday afternoon. By Monday afternoon we had three offers - one of them cash. Dave was quick & proficient with executing all paperwork. From the day we first met with Dave at the house to closing day, it was less than one month. We feel an enormous weight off of our shoulders, thanks to Dave. Since he helped us find our forever home, we don't expect to be needing his services again, however we will refer him to any & everyone we know whenever we have the chance. Please hire Dave! You won't regret it, especially in such a competitive market. Dave hasn't been jaded by the industry like some realtors who have been doing this for far too long. He writes offers & listings intelligently, and is a familiar and kind face to represent you both as a buyer & as a seller.

Dave is a grade A real estate agent, and I would strongly recommend him. He has great knowledge of houses, pointing out all the things you might not see, and of local markets. He is available and communicative, always taking time to talk through questions and discuss plans. And he is skilled in negotiation and knows all the little tricks to help you win the house. I grew up around real estate agents so I know what a good one looks like, and Dave is definitely that.

Dave went above and beyond helping us find the right house. He thought through every detail: from scheduling viewings in the best order to pointing out issues most people wouldn't notice. We never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision that wasn't right for us. Thank you so much!

We could not have asked for a better experience with a realtor than what we had with Dave! We had not been involved in the housing market for 30+ years. Dave walked us through every step of purchasing our forever home. His attention to detail made us feel confident in our purchase decision. He is very knowledgeable and willing to do all the “extra” steps to make it easier for his clients. We enjoyed working with him so much that we entrusted the sale of our old house with him as well. He was able to secure an above asking price offer in less than two days and we were able to close in four weeks! If you need a realtor, I would highly recommend David Lamarand !! You won’t be disappointed.

If you are looking for a realtor you MUST choose Dave.  Whether you are buying or selling he always has his clients best interest at heart.  I am a first time home buyer and he made sure I was taken care of.  Dave was always available to speak with me if I had any questions or concerns.  His knowledge of the housing market, and being so open and honest made me realize I found the best realtor.  Dave made the process of buying a home simple and easy, and he also gave me great recommendations for contractors.  If I am in need of a realtor in the future I will be using Dave, and you should too.  He found the perfect home for my daughter and I.

Working with Dave to sell my condo was a very positive experience. He arrived to view the condo and had already done his homework and had a good idea of others in the area which had recently sold. This assisted us in determining a good selling price. Dave was available to discuss questions I had about the selling process and to provide his insight and recommendations. I felt he was open and honest with me. Due to his professional expertise with real estate and in the marketing & sales I had several offers within the first 24 hours of the listing going "Live". He made the whole process seem rather simple and easy. If I were to need a realtor in the future, I would definitely contact Dave! He was a pleasure to work with.

I recently worked with David Lamarand, and I have to say that he made the entire process stress-free. He was available to answer any questions or concerns I had and was very patient if I didn't understand something and guided me through every step. He truly went above and beyond, and I highly recommend him for any of your house hunting needs. He would point things out during the viewing that I would have missed. Knowledgeable and trustworthy!

I had the best experience with David! He made my first home buying process a breeze. David guided me through all the steps making it easy to understand and stress free. He was very professional, experienced and knowledgeable. David goes above and beyond to make sure his clients are taken care of. I love my new home and it wouldn’t of been possible without David’s help. He is amazing, I couldn’t of asked for a better realtor! I highly recommend David!

An absolute pleasure dealing with Dave. He’s very knowledgeable and a fun guy to have to deal with. He’s very responsive, takes his time, very informative, and very blunt (for the better). He felt like more than just a real-estate agent, and we appreciated that.
