HOME BUYER TESTIMONIALS


“Dave did an excellent job. We had a limited amount of time to look for housing during a trip to Fargo. He sent e-mails or called in order to narrow our search, which made the process so efficient. I also appreciated the list of carpet cleaners, painters, etc. that he provided, as it helped me line up reputable people to complete work before I moved into our new home.” Lois Ustanko

“My first-time home buying process went very smoothly because Dave is a very dedicated, hard-working agent.

He was thorough in helping us through every detail and performed as much of the legwork himself as possible. Dave has a keen eye and a sharp mind when observing qualities and drawbacks of houses and their locations. He is an asset to either the buying or selling side.

We have never had a person that driven, organized, and willing to help us even if we couldn't buy that $250,000 home or didn't have the resources. He didn't care about the price or a 'high' commission check, Dave wants the buyer to be happy, comfortable and in their means. Dave is tha' bomb!” Omni Rogers Mueller and Andrew Mueller

“Dave made the whole process painless. Also, his help after we decided on the home was unbelievable. Great.” Mike Peterson and Susie Wiedl

We even considered postponing the house hunt until after the relocation, until we began working with Dave Kinskey. He and his web site are remarkable. We have been very pleasantly surprised at how smooth and seamless this transaction has been. We sincerely believe that Dave is the consummate REALTORĀ®.

We would not hesitate for a moment in recommending him to a friend or family member and we will definitely turn to him again for any future real estate transactions.” Kevin and Debbie Faber
