We read about selecting agents and then interviewed three of the most highly recommended real estate agents, all presented very well and we chose to go with Dave and here are the reasons. Dave was the only agent to advise us not to go to auction, our buyers for this very specialised dwelling (residence and two onsite businesses) may have more to spend than could be evidenced at auction and Dave had many other very logical and clever insights to share with us. Dave's strategies enabled us to get the highest price ever in our suburb without any tactics of deception. It was evident that he was not only keeping us in the loop with progress but he was also keen and considerate of the prospective buyers yet all the time we knew he was working for us. Dave was recommended by a family member who is also very impressed with Dave's integrity, skill and competence. We would certainly highly recommend you interview Dave and his team should you be wanting to sell a property or looking for a property.

We have found Dave to be an excellent agent. Despite some extremely challenging and stressful circumstances, Dave was always level headed and willing to go the extra mile for us. Daves open homes were always well thought out, stress-free and well presented. Dave also went above and beyond to help us with the purchase of our new home and gave us sound and helpful advice whenever needed. We would definitely recommended Dave and his team to any sellers/ buyers!

A genuine nice guy. Easy to deal with and great communication. Most of all we liked his honesty and integrity - no game playing or real estate BS

I went with my gut when I chose Dave as an agent. He was open, honest and I felt comfortable trusting him to sell my house. Dave is not like other agents, he is realistic and not at all pushy. Dave has fantastic communication, I always knew where things were up to and he explained things to me at a level I could understand. Our house was sold within 3 weeks of being on the market and I couldn't have been happier with how it all worked out. Thank you Dave for all your hard work, I would highly recommend to anyone looking to sell!

Dave Lane is the master. This the third time that our family has sold a property with Dave and he has exceeded our expectations on every occasion. Dave's recommendations regarding the presentation and marketing of our property resulted in higher than expected inspection traffic, which translated into a number of offers and us accepting an offer less than 2 weeks after the property was placed on the market. We would not hesitate recommending Dave to any of our friends and family, let alone strangers on a review site. Thanks again Dave, it really is appreciated, Steve & Danielle

We are ecstatic with the outcome of the recent sale of an investment property, achieved by Dave and his team's exceptional service and dedication for getting the job done. Initially Dave showed us a deep knowledge of the local market and gave us fair and reasonable expectations for the process. Dave's consistent, plentiful and genuine phone calls gave us the most confidence that the property will sell with the best outcome possible. Without reservation we would recommend Dave to friends and family.

Dave was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, but Dave guided me every step of the way, without any nonsense. He was always available - day or night - to answer any queries. Definitely be recommending him to my friends and family looking to buy in Newcastle.

From the time we got an appraisal, right up until exchange and beyond, Dave was fantastic. He tells it like it is, and is very knowledgeable in the market we were in. He kept us up to date with everything that was happening and was always willing to answer any questions at any time. He also had some helpful tips to help us in negotiating the purchase of our new property. Dave got us a quick sale at a price that was beyond our expectations. We would happily recommend Dave to anyone looking to sell.

I recently had to sell a relative's house and really didn't know where to start, lucky for me I chose Dave Lane from Dotcom Property to help. Dave gave me strong, sound advice, was great on communication and always on time for meetings. He fetched an amazing price and truly help with every aspect of what could have been a difficult, emotional process.

I wish to express my appreciation to Dave for the fully professional manner in which he handled the sale of my property. From the time of signing the contract, he took the time to fully explain the marketing, open house strategy and follow up with buyers and myself after each and every inspection. He talked through the stresses to expect during the process and when they surfaced (as predicted), I always felt confident in his approach to be in my best interests. Dave worked closely with my solicitor to ensure all parties were kept in the loop throughout the process. Even when the sale was assured he remained in touch and went above and beyond the call of duty by providing me with some new packing boxes to assist in my move to the new abode. I have bought and sold over a dozen houses over the years and this sale has been by far the best experience using an agent working for me. So, if you are looking to engage an agent, call Dave!

Dave was recommended to me by two friends who had previously used Dave's services. Dave was wonderful to work with, very friendly. Dave responded quickly, communicated really well and has a great knowledge of the market. Through working with Dave, my unit sold within a two week timeframe for a price well over what I was expecting. Dave is great and I would recommend him to anyone looking at selling a property.

Quite a challenging sale as my bottom line price seemed to be at the top of what the market would accept. Limited interest in the property at that price meant Dave had to work hard to reach it. He kept me fully informed and gave me solid advice based on his experience and market knowledge, and then took my instructions and put in the effort to realise them. I never felt pressured to accept an offer below my comfort level in the interest of an easy sale. I always felt he was being honest and up front, and was happy to work within my price expectations in spite of the risk of losing the sale. He provided clear guidance throughout the process so I always knew exactly where things stood.
