David helped sell our house and it went quick....he then helped us get into a brand newly constructed home and negotiated a marvelous price! He is a hard working, kind man who treats each client like family.

David is driven, knowledgeable, honest, personable and easy going. He made the process of buying and selling easy for our family because we knew that every step of the way we were in good hands. I would highly recommend David!

David is a true professional, and is extremely knowledgable & experienced. He is also incredibly easy to work with. He truly cares about his clients, and has always gone above and beyond, for the smoothest & best possible outcome, for us. He definitely makes this real estate process as much fun as it can be, too. We've worked with him twice, once to buy, once to sell - with great results both times, and if it were POSSIBLE to transport him to where we're now living in Maryland, we'd do so in a heartbeat!! Trust you'll be in good hands with this Realtor.

David Caldwell represented my family in the purchase of our home. He demonstrated exceptional service above and beyond the call of duty. Highly recommended as your advocate and resource for information. David always acted in our best interest, and can't say enough good things. David was very responsive and available when needed, and had complete knowledge and understanding of the surrounding market areas.

I bought my first house from David, as he was the agent holding the open house when I took a tour. David presents himself in a professional, courteous, and respectful manner. I never felt pressured to make any unrealistic decisions. He demonstrated not only passion for the business, but also knowledge of the industry. David was consistent, responsive, and thorough with each transaction. I appreciate David for his ability to balance both sides of the business, while keeping my best interests in mind.

David was an outstanding resource, a skilled negotiator and a trusted friend in the quest and eventual purchase of my first home. He was patient, responsive and knowledgable all the way through. He worked efficiently and effectively to guide me from my first thoughts of what I wanted in a home to the front door with keys in hand to a house that I am very proud and happy to own. He was attentive to my needs and understood the market and was therefore able to put together a clean offer that was attractive to the sellers yet protected my interests. His confidence and positive attitude was encouraging and I felt informed and in control despite my unfamiliarity and the bumps in the road along the way. When we hit a snag, he wasn't afraid to go to bat and he was never pushy when the timing wasn't right. He has an active life and a little girl but I always felt like he was there when needed. I can't imagine a better partner in this process and I would highly recommend David to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the Portland area.

David has a very extensive knowledge of my area. That helped in determining the best asking price for my home as well as the new home I moved into. He has a smart strategy to sell houses fast while still getting you top dollar. I have recommended him to several friends and they were pleased with his results also.

I'll be honest. I'm not crazy about paying a realtor 5 to 6 percent of the selling price, but David earned every penny of it. David is an extremely knowledgeable realtor and on top of that he's humble and a very hard worker. He made our lives SO MUCH easier through the process of selling our home and buying a new one. People really aren't kidding when they say that selling your home is very stressful. David helped us through our first home sale and purchasing our second home and we definitely saw value on both sides of the transaction. On the selling side, we ended up with a price which was more than we were hoping for due to his ability to appropriately price, market and negotiate. We then purchased a new home from a builder that David had already had plenty of experience with, so he knew what we could reasonably ask them to throw in for their asking price. If we went in and negotiated ourselves without his insight, we would have done much worse. Bottom line, I trust David, which is a hard thing to find in the world of service and sales. I'm not the type of guy to waste my time writing a review for someone who didn't go above and beyond what I'd expect.

We are first time homebuyers & this whole process had not been pleasant. My husband & I were burned on 2 previous home transactions & we were not sure if we even wanted to proceed with buying a home. Nevertheless, we went to an open house. This is where our home buying experience did a complete turnaround. We met Julie (David’s office mgr) & she was so helpful & full of knowledge. The next day we came back & met David. We found him to be a straight shooter & very personable. We located a short sale home & David prepared us that the closing process could take a while depending on all of the parties involved. Even though there were a few small bumps in the road, David & Julie ALWAYS kept us informed on every detail. The communication with David & his team is OUTSTANDING. David negotiation skills are impeccable. We found our home the second week in Sept & we were moving in Nov 1st. We cannot say enough great things about David and his team. He handled every task with professionalism & he went over & beyond our expectations. We HIGHLY recommend him.

We started working with David 3 years ago when we bought our first home - a condo in South Waterfront. Our experience with him could not have been more positive. He is extremely knowledgeable, a consummate professional, and above all one of the best negotiators out there - not to mention he's very good at refereeing between opposing view points (i.e. my wife and I didn't always see everything eye to eye) and was able to assess our needs and refocus our approach. On the buy side, I was and am continually amazed at how he is able to instill confidence and a sense of personal connection to the seller. That is something that many people overlook. As a result he has been able to extract tons of value for us. Since buying our first home with David we have since sold that home and purchased another home through David's help. As a seller, he is laser focused on bring the seller the most value possible and then some. He was able to sell our home for a significant profit, in fact nearly 30,000 dollars over the price of the same unit on a higher floor with an expedited closing timeframe. As a listing agent, outside of his tact in negotiations, he dominates the market from a marketing perspective. His attention to today's advertising methodologies are spot on and his ability to sell lifestyle through his visual marketing is exactly how to get it done.
So - from my perspective - you couldn't work with a better broker in town

David represented me in the best possible way, as I live out of town and had renters in my house. He actively worked with them to make their necessity to move out as smooth and kind as possible. He went above and beyond my expectations, for example, offering to clean the house himself if it wasn't spotless when the renters moved out. Although I haven't met David in person, I was able to feel complete trust in his advice, actions and responsiveness. Both he and Julie Tran were always quick to respond and took care of all the details thoroughly and quickly. It is obvious that David knows the Hillsboro, OR area very well, and gave my house the boost it needed to sell quickly, in 12 days and for a very good price and a clean offer. He and Julie also took care of getting the few items required from the inspection taken care of and for reasonable costs. They are both open and friendly.

David helped us find the home we were looking for in our desired location. We put in an offer on the home but got outbid. David asked that our offer be put in second position. When the first offer fell through the dream home was ours! We cannot thank Julie and David enough, they found us our forever home!

David Caldwell made the sale of our house easy. His accurate pricing, efficiency and organization were outstanding. He and Julie, our other contact, were easy to reach, always returned calls immediately when we had questions, and were extremely helpful with all aspects of the sale. We had an offer in 2 days and the sale was completed in just over a month. We encountered no problems at all and I attribute that to David's professionalism and attention to detail. We couldn't have asked for better service.

He was very prepared in all things regarding the housing market. He would be able to show any house that we wanted or should see. He takes the approach of what makes the most sense for his client even if the client doesn't think so. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants what's best for themselves.
user74609870
We contracted David and his firm to sell our house in Tigard. We had previously interviewed several realtors who recommended expensive changes and a lower asking price. David correctly read the market, and his team put together an impressive brochure and made sure that interested buyers could see it.
I value David as a realtor, and as a newfound friend. I wouldn't recommend any other agency more than I would Hillshire and David.

Over the years we have bought and sold several homes, but I have to say that our experience with David Caldwell was unique. When we told him we were considering selling our home and "downsizing", now that our children were gone, David advised us that it would be better to wait about six months. His advice was right on, as we were able to sell our house as the market was rising and buy a smaller, retirement home before the prices rose too high. His market timing was perfect. I can imagine anyone with more market knowledge. Both David and his top notch staff made every step in the process seamless. Their communication and responsiveness was amazing, making the whole process very simple and controlled. The customer service of David's Hillshire Reality Group was like nothing we had experienced before. It was the first time in our lifetime of real estate dealings that we really felt that we had an "agent" with our interests totally at the forefront. I can't imagine a more satisfactory experience with a real estate professional.

David Caldwell and his team were really great to work with. David has a excellent understanding of the real estate market and all the details that make it work. His guidance and advice in setting up our home sale was right on the money. We accepted a better than expected offer in three days! David's negotiating skills shined in both the sale of our home and in the purchase of our new home. He added some very good ideas we hadn't thought of and they saved us some money and closed the deals. David and his team showed real professionalism throughout the entire process of selling our old home and buying our new one. I would highly recommend Hillshire Reality Grout to any one, they are an absolute joy to work with.
Mike Greene Very Satisfied Client Less Nothing makes our day than knowing that we have helped our awesome clients!

We have worked with David and Hillshire a few times over the last 10+ years for buying and selling purposes and have always had a good experience. David and his team are very knowledgeable about the local market trends and are very diligent for their clients during the entirety of the buying/selling processes. They took the time to learn about our wants/needs in a house and kept us focused on those during our search.

We chose David because he is always professional but laid back, making everyone in the room feel comfortable even in the most stressful of transactions. He’s very well connected and respected in the broker communicating putting you ahead of the competition. We recommend David to anyone who is buying/selling a home. He will never disappoint!
