Testimonials

Dave and his colleague Cathy Byun helped us get our dream house on our first bid! Dave had great instincts on how much to bid; and he also found me a mortgage with a major bank with a much lower rate. Dave pointed out issues with the house we were bidding on, and gave a good assessment of the house’s value. There was never any doubt that he was trying to get the right deal for me, rather than just try...

Testimonials

We worked with Dave to sell a home in San Mateo, in the 94403-zip code. Dave and his team are amazing. As the selling agent, Dave handled every detail perfectly. He provided expert guidance and backed his suggestions with solid research. He made sure my parents understood all the options before making decisions. There is not one thing I would change about the experience. Dave is extremely responsive and ...

Testimonials

This is my third home transaction with David. David's team is always friendly and provides buyers with the best options based on data. And the work is always done quickly and all documents are carefully checked to ensure there are no mistakes. From start to finish, we always provided the best service to ensure that the entire home buying process was smooth and trouble-free. Thank you David and his team.

— Brian B.

Testimonials

My husband and I highly recommend working with David Kim and Cathy Byun. They came highly recommended from a colleague of mine and we had an equally positive experience working with them. David and Cathy consistently went above and beyond during our home buying experience in Campbell, CA. I was a first time home buyer so had many questions to ask throughout the process and they were always able to effici...

— Marissa A.

Testimonials

David is an awesome and experienced Realtor. I am a first time home buyer and he and his team patiently and kindly guided me through the process. He made sure I didn’t settle, and got the home I wanted. I now have my very first condo with all the amenities I wanted and in the location I never thought I’d be able to get into, Campbell, CA. 11/10 recommend! Thanks, David!

— Mallorey G.

Testimonials

David was absolutely the best at every step along the way. He was so knowledgeable about our area and gave us really good options concerning the sale of our condominium. David really helped us make good decisions and the outcome was exactly what we expected. We couldn't have been more pleased. David is stellar in his field and I would highly recommend him.

— Jeanine A.

Testimonials

Met Dave at an open house. He seemed really knowledgeable about the bay area, especially, the los altos and MV area. He spent a lot of time speaking with me and gave me some good market information, even school data. Really cool and no pressure. When I'm ready to sell and buy, I'll definitely keep him in mind.

— James C.

Testimonials

David Kim and team are great to work with. From the start, they were exceptionally professional especially David and Kelly who truly care for their customers and I have the pleasure to meet. "Actions speak louder than words" and David's history shows just that, he cares and he wins for you.

— Jose A.

Testimonials

I am extremely happy with David's work. He and his colleague helped finding my first home and closing the deal. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. I definitely recommend his outstanding services.

— Ahmad S.

Testimonials

David, Cathy, and the team that works behind the scenes are all truly amazing at what they do! We were able to close on a home after just two bids. David's intuition and experience combined with Cathy's agility and homeowner tips made the home-buying process easy and effortless. Then during closing, Kelly helped to push and follow up with our escrow officers to make sure everything we (the buyers) needed...

— Jeannie L.

Testimonials

Where do I begin? David has been our realtor for several years, through 3 different moves. Each time was so phenomenal, that we never experienced any problem buying a house (like, why are all these people in Bay Area complaining about home buying - it’s so easy!). This is saying a lot for the crazy market we’re in. Just to list out a few things I remember. Buying: David first holds deep client meetings w...

— Ethan K.

Testimonials

In 2021, my wife and I decided to take the leap from renting to owning. As anyone with experience or knowledge of the real estate situation in the Bay Area, it can be ultra-competitive, expensive, and exhausting due to a low inventory and many willing buyers. Luckily, we were guided from beginning to end by David Kim and his team, the David Kim Group. Upon meeting David, he got to know us and listened pa...

— Mark H.

Testimonials

I am writing a long overdue review of him. I bought my house through David about 3 years back. (My excuse is that I was not aware that I could review realtors on Yelp). Initially, I was referred to him by a good friend of mine (who bought her house through him as well). We were not sure if we wanted/could buy a house back then or not. He went over the buying process in detail and educated me on various m...

— Nak-un K.

Testimonials

Dave Kim is the type of realtor who goes above and beyond and then some. My husband and I were first-time home buyers, and after casually going to open houses for a few months on our own, we finally got serious and decided we needed a realtor. A colleague of mine had been working with Dave and put the two of us in touch. We met Dave over lunch where he made us feel comfortable and tried to get to know us...

— Jess D.

Testimonials

My husband and I recently bought our first home with the help of David. I completely agree with all the five-star reviews on Yelp, including the filtered ones. David is perhaps one of the hardest-working human beings I have ever met. He would show us a house at 10 o'clock at night so we don't miss the offer deadline. If I couldn't reach David right away, I never had to wait more than an hour or two befor...

— Weixin S.

Testimonials

Third time was the charm. We recently purchased our very first house, and David was our realtor. When we first started the process, the first realtor we worked with was very pushy and kept recommending us houses listed by his “friends” and the second realtor was always late to our appointments and even missed an offer on a house we were interested in (he never answered our texts on when the offer deadlin...

— Marina K.

Testimonials

My wife and I work in tech companies in the Bay Area. David helped us when we bought our first home in 2016 in Mountain View. We enjoyed working with him so much that in 2020/2021 when we decided to upgrade to a bigger home in the Mountain View/Los Altos area, we had zero hesitation to entrust him with buying the new home and selling the old one. Buying a home in such a crazy market is not easy, and Davi...

— Isaac L.

Testimonials

In 2023, I purchased a single-family home in Palo Alto with the assistance of David, whom I had previously worked with when buying a townhome in 2016. David's strategic approach to negotiating with the seller proved successful. We promptly submitted an offer at the listing price on a Sunday, and by Monday morning, it had been accepted. Despite encountering some unusual circumstances, David skillfully uti...

— Juhyun L.

Testimonials

We bought our first home with the help of David a few years ago. David is perhaps one of the hardest-working human beings I have ever met. He would show us a house at 10 o'clock at night so we don't miss the offer deadline. If I couldn't reach David right away, I never had to wait for more than an hour or two before hearing back from him. But most importantly, I can place my complete trust in David's jud...

— Leon B.

Testimonials

We had a great experience with Dave, Cathy, and Kelly as first-time home buyers in MTV/Los Altos/Sunnyvale, and would highly recommend them. After a relaxed discussion about what we were looking for in a house, Dave took us to a number of open houses together and helped us build a sense of what to look out for/what not to worry about. He helped us greatly in understanding the time and money cost of fixin...

— Jeff D.

Testimonials

David was a great realtor from start to finish. Most realtors (99%) want you to purchase a home. Only 1% care that you purchase the 'right' home. I worked with another realtor and I always got the feeling that when I showed interest in a house, she told me how wonderful this house was and I needed to act. After viewing many homes and every home was the right home for us, I just couldn't believe her, and ...

— John C.

Testimonials

David Kim is an exceptionally talented and insightful professional realtor who has helped us over the years with our property disposition efforts. He helped us sell our Willow Glen home for a very good profit when we were expected to relocate overseas within a short time span. He also assisted us in the purchase of our last home in South San Jose (upon our unexpected return to the Bay Area) for a very re...

— Ken K.

Testimonials

David is the best realtor in the business. My husband and I went through another realtor a couple of years ago and she was not very helpful, since we were first-time home buyers. She was not very attentive and seemed like she could care less if she made a sale or not. We stopped looking for a house then. A couple of months ago, we started working with David. As first-time home buyers, we knew a little bi...

— Jennifer A.

Testimonials

I had a great experience working with David. As first-time homebuyers, my husband and I had no clue about the home purchasing/real estate market at first. We were so nervous and so confused that we kept changing about our needs. Also, we were simply anxious to see every home as possible in our price range, here, there, and pretty much everywhere in the Bay Area. But, David was so patient and made the hom...

— Christine Y.

Testimonials

David Kim found us a wonderful home and his service needs to be recognized. Like others said, he's incredibly hard-working. Like an expected Cal grad, he does his homework and provides comps intelligence explaining to me and my husband the price range that we're facing in the area we're interested. Because of his experience helping customers win properties, we were able to get our retirement home with so...

— Laura C.

Testimonials

We worked with David and his team for buying and then later selling our house in East Palo Alto. Both experiences couldn't have been better. During the sale period, we left the house empty to move out of state. It hadn't been updated since it was built (22 years ago) and was very much showing its age. In our absence, David transformed it, modernizing it inside and out. He also developed promotional mater...

— Sean O.

Testimonials

David is an excellent agent. We met David at an open house and decided to explore opportunities with him. He started out with a detailed profile of our needs. David set us up with our search and proactively recommended criteria he believed would be beneficial to us based on his experience. We really value this feedback. His no-pressure approach and commitment to providing genuine value to his clients are...

— Manav G.

Testimonials

David helped me buy my current home in Palo Alto. It is my first experience buying a house in the US, but I can definitely say the whole process went pretty seamlessly. I spent more than 3 years trying to find the right home since I moved to this area. It didn't work well with my previous agent, who was recommended by my friends and I briefly worked for several months, as she didn't really lead me into m...

— Jae S.

Testimonials

David Kim was very professional and proficient. Because of his long experience in the SF Bay Area, the process went so smoothly. He helped me win a bidding war with a reasonable offer. I didn’t have to go through many bidding nightmares. Because David Kim could estimate the price range so well. My first offer for the single house got accepted, and I only spent 2 weeks searching homes. David Kim is a dedi...

— Audrey H.

Testimonials

My family has been fortunate enough to have worked with David and his team in finding our current home. They helped us navigate through the Bay Area's competitive seller's market and locate a home that was balanced between our needs and our budget. Going into the process, we didn't have much knowledge on what we wanted or what we could afford but that didn't stop David from being effective. He understood...

— Taeheon K.

Testimonials

David and his entire team made our first home-buying experience a positive one from start to finish (and beyond). He worked with us patiently and compassionately, helping us discover our own priorities in what we were looking for without any pressure whatsoever. He and Cathy were willing to put in tons of time that accommodated our schedules and they made a house search with two small children possible. ...

— Sarah M.

Testimonials

A couple of months ago, we started working with David. As first-time home buyers, we knew a little bit about the home buying process through informational events, but David went into detail about what we wanted in a house, what price range we were looking in, the areas we wanted to look in, and the whole home purchasing process from beginning to end. David was available day and night to answer our questi...

— Doug F.

Testimonials

I can't say enough about Dave Kim and his associate, Cathy Byun, who just helped us purchase our first home. As first-time home buyers, my husband and I had so many questions that we barely knew where to start. After our initial consultation with Dave and Cathy, however, we felt like we gained a lot of clarity: Dave and his team were incredibly knowledgeable about the different neighborhoods we were inte...

Testimonials

David Kim was very professional and proficient. It was my first time buying a house in Silicon Valley, and the process went so smoothly. He helped me win a bidding war with a reasonable offer. I didn't have to go through many bidding nightmares because David Kim could estimate the price range so well. My first offer for the single house got accepted, and I only spent 2 weeks searching for homes. David Ki...

— Audrey H.

Testimonials

I was looking for my new home in the San Jose area and his team helped me to find my new home. I was looking for a new home from a long distance and I cannot imagine finding a new home without his team. It was not easy to travel every single time but with his team's support, I could understand and decide almost everything without visiting in person. I was not familiar with the area, but his team gave me ...

— Sung H.

Testimonials

I recently purchased my very first home with David Kim in March 2018. I first met him as a seller agent but it was almost a serendipity that he became our buyer agent. He is super caring and listened to our needs. I think the top qualities of a realtor must understand customers' needs, and suggest places based on them. David always answered our phone calls, and he did even after we bought a house. He is ...

— Chang Y.

Testimonials

David Kim is a wonderful agent and it was a great experience working with him. I would definitely recommend him to my friends. My husband and I just bought a house in the MV area recently. At first, we were quite nervous about the competitive housing market and did not know what we should focus on. We spent several months going to open houses and still could not make up our minds about what we needed. Af...

— Lingya W.

Testimonials

David made one of the most stressful times in our recent history, bearable may I say, even fun. With him, we went through the agony of having an offer rejected. He fought with and for us and was as devastated as we were for not having gotten that particular house. He promised that he would find a house that was even better than that one and he delivered. He was always super professional, yet friendly and...

Testimonials

I thank David, Cathy, and Kelly who helped me sell my house and buy another one at the right time. David’s team is very knowledgeable and organized to help me understand the entire process and minimize hassle. They are not just professional but also very friendly and fun to work with, and I was very confident that I was working with the best team. When selling my property, they helped me repair and stage...

— Changjin C.

Testimonials

David made the process of buying my first home almost effortless. I'd been in the market for a while with different agents but only after working with David did I start understanding what I was truly looking for. He took the time to help me understand the different factors I should keep in mind (budget, loan amount, school district, neighborhood, amenities) and narrow down what would be a good fit for me...

— Emy D.

Testimonials

David, Cathy, and David's team helped us find a unique property that we liked but not many people preferred, which led to an offer accepted at a price point lower than the initial listing. We also had other time constraints with a new baby's delivery date, and thanks to David and Cathy, we could find our new houses in time and had enough time to update it. He made helpful suggestions at the right time (e...

David, Cathy, and his team are what every home buyer or seller hopes for reliable, will look out for your best interests always and have a very good instinct about the market.

Testimonials

We hired David Kim, Cathy, and Kelly from Compass to sell our townhome in Mountain View this summer. We already bought and sold several homes, so we knew we really wanted a good realtor who understood how important staging is when selling your house as well as being able to handle all the work after we moved out. We looked at David's portfolio and we liked his work. He made the selling experience super p...

— Fiorenzo C.

Testimonials

It was a great experience working with David and his team. He is extremely supportive and very professional. He had never hesitated to visit the new houses in the market whenever I asked. David also spent lots of hours reviewing disclosures. He had been having a deep understanding of my concerns and relieved them based on data as well as his experience. If he was not sure about something, he immediately ...

Testimonials

David helped us buy the first house in 2017, the second house in 2020, and sell the first house. He was always energetic, knowledgeable, and resourceful. It's great working with him (credits to how patient he was with our "we don't need to buy right away" attitude). He definitely has a great work ethic, keeping his clients' best interests. He also is very resourceful about home maintenance/upgrades etc. ...

We had been searching for a home in the competitive Palo Alto market for over a year and failed to land the right home at the right price, then we met David Kim and he made it happen for us.

Instead of spending hours making trips to the office and signing forms, we were able to conduct the maj...

My husband and I recently bought a house, and it would not have been possible without David Kim's help, insight, guidance, and diligence.
