Common Questions

What if I don't fit neatly into one of these categories?

Most people don't fit a single label perfectly — you might be a first-time buyer who's also inheriting land, or an investor who's also selling a personal home. Call (419) 799-0291 and describe your actual situation; Dave will point you to the right approach rather than forcing you into a category.

Can Dave help with more than one situation at the same time?

Yes — buying and selling at once, handling an estate while also looking for your next home, or splitting off a piece of land while selling the rest are all common overlaps Dave works through regularly.

Is the initial conversation really free, no matter which category I'm in?

Yes. Whether you're a first-time buyer, an investor, or handling a farm estate, an initial conversation about your situation is free and no-obligation.

Does Dave charge differently depending on which type of client I am?

Fees depend on the type of transaction (a traditional sale, a purchase, or an auction), not on which audience category you fall into. Ask (419) 799-0291 for specifics on your situation.

How do I know which service page applies to me?

Start with whichever audience page below sounds closest to your situation — each one links to the specific services most relevant to it. If you're still not sure, a quick call is faster than guessing.
