"Dave was amazing! He really understood my husband and me and found us a great home.

"Federico and I cannot sing enough praises to our realtor and friend, Dave Chastain. We listed our home in TWC just as the Austin market took a crazy turn and slowed down a bit. Dave, who was himself a TWC neighbor previously, was very knowledgeable about our neighborhood and its current value. He was very patient and kept us very positive throughout the prepping phase, the showings. We were under contract in less than 3 weeks from listing it when there were multiple homes for sale in TWC. Dave was always just a text message away, responding to our multitude of questions within minutes. He guided us through the sale, our move and continues to follow up with us in our new home. 10 stars!"

"It's been a great buying experience with Dave, he is simply awesome. He not only helped us get a better deal but also gave honest advice to new buyers like me. He helped us during the entire process, even after sales and closing. One time we thought we would never have an independent house in Westlake, Austin and we shifted our decision to look for a condo, a kind of crazy market in Westlake due to Eanes ISD. But due to his genuine advice, we waited and found our home, within budget, which surprised all my friends. "

"My wife and I moved to Austin 5 years ago to help out our children with their newborn babies. We rented here at first to get the lay of the land and searched all 5 years for a home to buy. We asked several Realtors to help us out to no avail. They all concluded that we could not afford a house here because we had a mortgage in our hometown. The market there had been abysmal. However, we finally found a VA assistant mortgage company that agreed to lend us what we needed. Then they suggested another realtor that told us we had to bid a minimum of 10% over listing if we were ever going to succeed in this insane market. We tried on offer and were promptly turned down. My daughter suggested we go with Dave. That he would not push us, and he would find us a place if it is at all possible. Well, HE DID! Dave was kind, gentle with us, and listened to us. He went out of his way to find a deal. Not only that, but he found us a deal where the owner accepted an offer under asking! IN THIS CRAZY MARKET! The house met everything on our wish list!
So I can't rave enough about Dave Chastain!! He is the best! Bar none! I recommend everyone go through Dave for their real estate needs. He will be there for you during your hunt, throughout the purchasing process, and after the sale. He treats every client as if they were the only people that he is dealing with. He is extremely professional, friendly, and just a really nice person all around. Austin is lucky to have him! Thank you Dave you're the best! "

"Dave was recommended to me by my lender. As it was, I had not met Dave prior to working with him. From our first showing until our last, Dave was attentive to one thing, delivering my family to our ideal home. He listened. I cannot express how much that attribute means to me as a Realtor. He understood what we were looking for and guided us to the home in which we purchased. My family and I came to Austin to relocate and find a home. What I didnāt expect was to gain a friend as well. Dave Chastain has my full recommendation and even more so my word that heāll treat you as he would a family member or a friend."
- Tyler + Amber R.

"The fact that we have keys to an amazing new home in this market speaks to how great Dave was as our agent! As first-time buyers, we had a million questions throughout the process, and Dave was quick to get us the answers, guidance, and recommendations we needed. He was happy to trek out to Bastrop whenever we needed to take a look at the house. We really felt supported by his expertise and appreciated his honesty throughout the entire process. We've already recommended him to family/friends and will keep doing so in the future. Additionally, in terms of Covid-19 and the pandemic, we felt safe and respected around Dave. We appreciate that Compass cares about the health and safety of its clients and their employees. Thanks again for all your help, Dave!"

"I purchased my home in October, and the whole process could not have gone smoother, thanks to my Realtor, Dave Chastain. He was very knowledgeable in how the whole process would evolve and educating me on what would be expected from me in the process of getting ready to close. I still canāt believe from start to finish it was done, and I moved into my brand new home in 3 months! Thank you, Dave!"

"Dave Chastain was recommended to me by a friend who he'd helped get into the apartment that she loves because I told her my sister and I were trying to find a place to rent so we could sell our aunt's house. It took a little time, but Dave helped us get into a house just around the corner from where we were living (our aunt's house). He was patient with our needs, and where we thought we'd have problems, he made those problems disappear. After we settled into the new house, we asked him if he would sell our aunt's house because he'd meshed so well with us. To say that Dave made the selling process smooth and fast would be an understatement. He put her house on the market on a Friday, and by the next day, there were viewings; by Sunday, there were offers, and on Monday, he came over and helped us through the process of deciding on an offer. The whole thing took just a couple of months, and most of that was waiting until the closing date and taking care of a few necessary repairs. Throughout the whole time, Dave has been friendly, professional, comfortable to be around, funny, compassionate, and always available to answer questions or quell concerns. My sister and I have already recommended Dave to so many other people. If the day comes that we need to move again, we're calling Dave because he's the best!"

"Dave was absolutely fantastic. I truly couldn't have asked for a better person to help my fiancƩe, and I find our home. We looked at many homes, even at some odd times, and Dave always made it a top priority to help us whenever and wherever he could. I really can't speak highly enough of him!"

"Dave Chastain is an incredible realtor! He always responds quickly and goes above and beyond the call of duty. Dave treats you like family and tells you the truth in all situations. He doesnāt sugar coat anything and tells you the info you need to make the best decision for you and your family! He personally hosted all my open houses until the house was sold. The bottom line is heās super knowledgeable, he cares, and it shows!"

"Dave is the best. He sold my house last winter during a nasty divorce and was so helpful and kind, and tried to help me find a rental. So when it was time to buy my new home, I knew I could count on Dave to help me through the process. I recommend him to all my friends, and I wouldn't think of using anyone else. He really cares about his clients. Compass is lucky to have him!"

"Dave was fantastic throughout the process of us buying our second home. His knowledge and understanding of the Austin real estate market, and how to best take advantage of its weird conditions, is unparalleled. Beyond that, he's a first-class guy you can trust without hesitation to help you navigate one of life's more nerve-wracking processes. Dave will be our life-long realtor. There's no doubt about that."

"Dave is very patient, is easy to spend time with and puts his client first. He was so kind to me when I needed to find a home from Houston really quickly. I made 3 trips from there, and he made time for my crazy schedule. With his persistence, I was able to move into the place I wanted, which was closest to my daughter's school. We're very happy, and I'd happily recommend him."

"Dave provided great service and helped my family of 5 get into a great home. We wanted to move into a bigger home with more land and didn't have the easiest search. We wanted to stay close to Austin, TX. After a season of house hunting, we managed to find one and here we are. That's what is expected of a real estate agent. Here is why he went above and beyond.
During the staging of our home to sell, he was aware that my wife and I were going to stage it. He decided to come to help me move. How many agents take time out of their day to help move and move the big stuff (like a 6 drawer wooden hutch)? I don't know of many that would. He had a sore back for days but helped a great deal.
Even after we closed on both houses he wanted to make sure we were taken care of. There are always little hiccups that occur in any process. Dave went out of his way to make sure that all were resolved, even after money changed hands. I have heard many stories of agents' service decreasing significantly once commissions were received. He still checks on us currently.
Finally, he has a wealth of connections that he can use to help make the buying and/or selling process easy and efficient. From make ready services, to handyman work, to lawn care, etc. We tried some of them and they too provide above and beyond service.
We were very pleased with Dave and would recommend him to anyone looking to move or purchase property. If he is still doing real estate when Kyan and Naomi are ready to buy I know who they will be reaching out to.
Thank you, Dave!"

"We have purchased homes in the past and I thought working with Dave would be more of the same. He would set up the search and send us contracts to sign. Our experience with Dave was totally different. He went above and beyond what any other realtor has done in the past. He made himself available whenever we wanted to look at properties. Once we made the offer, he continuously advocated for us. We always felt like he was on our side, even with a difficult closing. I would highly recommend Dave Chastain. He is passionate about helping his clients buy and sell."

"Working with Dave was great. I have bought a few houses over the years but no one was as willing and almost seemed as excited as me to look at a lot of different properties until we found the right one. He also did this with a friend of mine who previously worked with him. Due to the other agent being MIA and title company not getting all the documents in time the closing was a little frustrating for me but Dave was there the whole day to work on a solution. At one point he even said that if I did not feel comfortable he would find me another place. (He actually did as a backup but I decided to stay with the original one). I absolutely recommend Dave to use as your agent."

"When my husband and I decided to sell our home, we knew Dave would be the best agent for the job! Our sales price was ranked as the 4th highest EVER in the community which is a big deal! He was always available to answer our questions and, when we were at our wits end, he kept us calm and focused. Dave is definitely one of our favorite realtors and we look forward to working with him again in the future!"

"Dave was a life saver for my roommates and I when we recently decided to move. We changed our minds multiple times about what we were looking for and he was always so flexible, and worked hard to find us exactly what we were looking for. He's very responsive and makes you feel like his #1 priority. We just finished moving into our new apartment and it's perfect!! I'm so grateful to have had Dave to help make moving such a great experience!"

"I met Dave through the volleyball community, where I knew him as a good player, captain, and family guy (he likes to bring his son out, and his son loves my puppy). We all know multiple realtors, and it's difficult to choose one - I chose Dave because he seemed like a sincere and kind person, and I knew I'd need some extra help as a first time home buyer. My decision definitely paid off! Dave was always flexible with my schedule, highly communicative/available, and very resourceful (he'd always point me to the correct person if he didn't have the answer to one of my outlandish questions). My happiness was his #1 priority throughout the entire process, and he was constantly checking in on my progress/mental status. He gave me very helpful advice, but made sure that I was making my own decisions. Dave constantly reminded me to ensure I was making decisions based on what I truly wanted in a home, and not just the feedback I was getting from everyone around me.
All in all, Dave was patient, selfless, and professional, but most importantly, very supportive. I highly recommend him, both as a realtor and a friend :)"
