David Shorey

Dave is a wonderful agent! Despite the fact that he was buying his own home and moving during my buying process, he never dropped the ball. Returned my phone calls the day they were made, always made me feel at ease with each step of the process (it was my first time buying) and stayed on top of everything in a very fast paced real estate market. You wont be disappointed with his service

We engaged Dave as a buyer’s agent for our Cambridge condo search in spring 2014. Note that this was a very difficult market for buyers. Where other agents wrung their hands and told us how many contingencies we might expect to have to waive (which we were not comfortable with), Dave was the first agent to share our excitement about buying a place, AND to not recommend such drastic measures.
One of the best things about working with Dave is that he has lots of experience working with renovations. In an area where many places are old, it takes a knowledgeable eye to see the potential of a place — to see where a wall could be knocked down, where a bathroom could be added, where the plumbing is on its last legs. Dave is not afraid to dive into the guts of a house and recommend on what’s bad news, and what could be changed and how much it would cost to fix it. Not every agent has this nitty-​gritty construction-​level understanding. Even after we closed on our new place, he continued to be helpful with odds and ends.
Dave is also well-​liked and well-​connected within real estate since he’s an easygoing guy who’s been in the field full-​time for so many years. In a challenging market, this ‘who you know’ aspect can make the difference between a buyer getting an offer accepted and a buyer getting ignored.
From the moment we met him in his office, to his standing offer to visit every open house, all the way through til closing, Dave was the perfect blend of professional and personable, and we liked both these sides of him. We enjoyed his congeniality, his ability to play hardball in negotiations, and his willingness to tell us difficult truths when we needed to hear them. All in all, Dave was a warm and knowledgeable guide. He was patient and assertive without being pushy, and very responsive to all our emails and phone calls, no matter what the hour.
When the seas of homebuying get choppy and emotions run high, Dave always keeps an even keel.

Dave has been our realtor for 2 sales and 1 purchase now, so we have had a lot of time to see him in action. He has a great handle on the market and is very intuitive about buying and selling in many Greater Boston areas. He’s patient and really wants to make the best deal for you, rather than just trying to close a deal. His familiarity with construction issues has helped us to really evaluate the quality of various properties. He’s held our hand through the whole process multiple times, and he’s able to do it with grace and humor. His experience has been invaluable to us over the years, and he’s gone above and beyond so many times for us!

David Shorey is the consummate real estate professional and brings so much value to a transaction for his clients. Whether listing a property or showing property to a buyer, his intense knowledge of the business paired with his highly technical skills and ability to pull great data together, make him a very important asset to anyone in a real estate transaction. Besides, he is a «wicked nice» guy and has a good sense of humor, a treasured characteristic in an arena full of complications which requires a lot of problem solving skills.
