I engaged David Archibald to sell my Mt Pleasant home and had a great experience. He was professional, knowledgeable, and very easy to deal with. Communication was clear and straightforward, with no pressure or sales tactics - just honest advice and solid hard work. I felt well looked after from start to finish and would happily recommend him.

David has excellent negotiation skills used in a calm respectful and kind way. He has the patience of a saint. He always goes above and beyond for both the vendor and purchaser, has wonderful communication skills and explains and answers questions or concerns in a way that is easy for everyone to understand. We have enjoyed working with him and will do so again if we need to sell again.

David managed the marketing and sale of our property. The marketing package was impressive and added significantly to our perspective on our property. There was nothing straightforward about this sale. David negotiated many tricky situations and complicated discussions, in a timely and pleasant manner, despite the pressure of a looming date for the deadline sale. Along the way, we were well informed on potential purchasers, and about who viewed – and how they viewed – the property. David was a pleasure to work with. He worked tirelessly to ensure we got a fantastic result.

From the moment I decided to sell my house I was fully supported by David. He took me through what was involved stage by stage and I really felt like I had a team player I could turn to with any questions or concerns. He and his wife Karen make an excellent team with Karen doing an exceptional job of turning my house into a dream home staged so that prospective buyers could see themselves living there. David dealt promptly with enquiries and continually updated me as new information came in. I went into the auction fully briefed on what to expect and emerged with a successful result! I would recommend him to any prospective vendors, and equally to any prospective buyers looking for an advocate working with them to find what they’re after.
