David was an absolute pleasure to work with. As first-time homebuyers navigating a challenging market, we were pretty nervous—but David made the entire process feel manageable and even enjoyable. He was never pushy, always honest and direct, especially when he saw potential concerns with properties we were considering.When we found the home we wanted, David moved quickly to get our offer in and used his experience and savvy negotiation skills to get it accepted—without us needing to increase the price. He truly had a few tricks up his sleeve!We also came into the process without any contacts for a mortgage lender, attorney, or inspector, but David’s extensive network of trusted professionals made everything seamless. Everyone he connected us with was just as efficient, knowledgeable, and easy to work with as he is.We can’t recommend David highly enough—he’s everything you’d want in a realtor: professional, knowledgeable about the market, responsive, transparent, direct, and genuinely invested in helping you find the right home.

David DuFault did an amazing and exceptional job helping me locate a unit , especially being that I was from out of state and wasn’t familiar with Chicago much. His attentiveness and diligence was a true highlight!

David was fantastic to work with—patient, genuine, and never pushy. He really listened to what we wanted, knew the area inside and out, and helped us understand each home without ever forcing an opinion. Yet helped us recognize things to be aware of. When we found the right place, he moved fast and made it happen. Highly recommend working with him. We love our new home!

David was incredibly helpful in helping my husband and I buy our first home. He told us from the beginning that he would always be transparent and honest with us, and he stayed true to his word through the whole process. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience that was quite helpful when looking at homes as first-time buyers, and he knew what to look for and expect each step of the way. David responded quickly to any questions and concerns we had. We felt that he truly just wanted us to find a house that we love- and we certainly did! He was very patient throughout the journey, never pressured us, and made it a fun process! We would hightly recommend him to anyone looking for a real estate professional!

This is our second time working with David, but our first time with him in both the buying and selling process which is always a bit trickier. David made the entire process as smooth as possible, even with a couple of unexpected twists and turns along the way. We appreciate his honesty, professionalism and negotiation skills and are extremely happy with the outcome of both transactions. This time around, he even went above and beyond to help get our condo showing-ready when we were out of town and needed to have some unexpected showings. We will continue to recommend David to anyone looking to have a great home buying or selling process!

Sometimes it takes one person to jumpstart your journey, and for me that was David. My home-buying experience was all but stalled until I was introduced to him. David immediately dove in and helped me understand everything about the process while staying patient as I asked many, many, many questions. He's professional, knowledgeable, and appropriately transparent. He stays available and moves at the speed which you are comfortable. And last but most important, he's a kind person!

David is a highly professional and knowledgeable real estate agent who provided his expertise at every level of our transactions. He provided good insight, recommendations on properties, areas, advantages, and challenges we might find with each property we reviewed. He accompanied me to each house we looked at and processed our offers quickly, even on weekend evenings. I would recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.

David was an absolute pleasure to work with! As a first time home-buyer I came into the process with little to no knowledge on the process of buying a home in the city. David was extremely kind, knowledgeable, patient, and helped me through every step of the process. He was always extremely transparent and upfront about properties as well as the process, while simultaneously never making me feel pressured to act or not act on a property. The market was extremely tough when we were working together and the process took some time but he was extremely attentive, present and responsive throughout the entire process. David's knowledge of the industry, Chicago, his connections and just who he is as a person made this experience for me a great one. Even after the sale, his contacts for contractors, painters, cleaners, etc. have been so helpful in making my first place feel like home. Truly cannot recommend David enough!
