MIRACLE ON 45TH AVENUE By Rev. Joseph Zias

I wasn't aware of the link between Saint Joseph and selling real estate. When my Buddhist, astrologer friend and yoga teacher told me the story about the little plastic statue she buried, I had to laugh. My degrees are from The Catholic University of America and in all my studies there I had never come across this "ritual." I was astonished when dozens of others I know started saying, "Oh, yeah! I’ve heard about that." And each agreed on the procedure with only one exception, and that lady protested refusing to bury any statue of a saint upside-down. That’s right! And facing the street!

Another friend, who has dealt with many Realtors, advised me to get opinions from three different companies and one of them a small company, another a large establishment. My third choice was recommended by yet another, who not only knew all about the St. Joseph statue, but knew the most likely place in town to find one. I signed on with the go-getter from Coldwell Banker. The two ladies I met both had wonderful energy and thought the property would sell quickly, but David stopped by for a look on his busy lunch hour.

In the short time it took the young man to get back to me, it was obvious that he had done his homework. I had copies of every similar listing in the area, cross-referenced by square footage, features, condition and number of weeds in the lawn. The bright-eyed, dark haired chap, originally from Great Britain, hadn’t reached the President’s Circle with such a prestigious firm by being stupid or sitting still, so his appraisal fit confidently between the other two.

Within three days a young couple had made an offer and had a contract drawn up. Three weeks later, the deal was consummated and now I must find another abode myself. Moving is always a traumatic experience but healthy for the spirit. It shows a willingness to grow and adapt but I don’t mind telling you, I’m glad I got a copy of St. Joseph’s prayer of protection. In the emotional, sometimes volatile world of Real Estate, every ounce of faith helps.

WillisOnce an offer was made, David’s superb negotiating skills and even keeled temperament assisted us and the buyer to agree on a fair market deal. He’s a great listener and worked hard to address concerns and eliminate pitfalls. David also has an impressive depth of knowledge on practical home related issues and has built a superb network of home inspection and repair professionals who respond to calls. This enabled us to close at least one month earlier than would have otherwise been possible. Read more (PDF) . . .

When we became interested in relocating to St Petersburg last year, we found some preconstruction townhomes on David Price's website. We drove up from Naples, called David, looked at the plans and put in a deposit. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, the project was put on hold. We still wanted to buy a home in St Pete, so we expanded our search with David. Eventually, we fell in love with an older home in the Old Northeast. Through out the process David was extremely knowledgeable, and helpful. He made sure this house was right for us and always was available when we called with questions or issues. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for a home in St Pete.

EdwardsThoroughness, reliability, availability, and punctuality all come to mind; along with complete satisfaction. David laid out the facts, and asked the right questions which allowed us to understand and manage our options from start to finish. He kept us informed of any notable developments and was always available. If we ever left a message, he quickly contacted us with a response.

We highly recommend David. David, thank you.

McCourts“When my husband and I first started our house hunting we were using a realtor who was a friend of a friend. I don't recommend it. We had a specific neighborhood and type of house in mind. We were not shown very much but what we were shown was no-where near what we were looking for. One day we were out house hunting on our own, going to open houses, and we found one we just loved. It was a bit out of our price range, but we struck up a conversation with the owner, who was also the realtor. He seemed to know a lot about the area and the construction of the homes. We forgot to ask for his card, but it didn't really matter. I remembered that his name was David Price, and I saw it on a "For Sale" sign on a house down the street. We switched realtors after giving the first one way too long to try to redeem herself, and we are so glad we chose David. If you are looking for someone who knows Saint Petersburg, listens to you when you tell him what you want, and actually seems to have a true base of knowledge from which to speak-then David is your guy. If you want to waste a lot of time, hire that friend of a friend.”

"I can't say enough good things about David Price! My husband and I weren't sure about "going through" a realtor when we decided to sell our house, but we met with David just to talk. After that first meeting we knew David had to sell our house for us. He is extremely knowledgable and makes you feel like you are his only client. He was always giving us updates on the progress (ie: inspections, etc) and always welcomed our calls. Mackenzie was born on the day we had to sign some papers and he STILL managed to come by our house in person so we could sign. Working with Dave was the best thing we could have done--and our house sold in 10 days!"

Hunter"Your love and understanding of these older homes that have a soul and spirit is treasured. Your honesty, insight and clear communication is both respected and appreciated your humor and way of being is a delight. Thank you for listening and hearing, because without one you can't have the other. The gifts you possess not only make you excellent at what you do and beyond compare as a real estate agent."

"After our first month in our new home, my wife and I wanted to take a moment to recognize David Price for his excellent work as our realtor.

We began our home search in California, with many questions about the regional market and neighborhoods. We had recently visited St. Petersburg and were in the midst of planning our move. We found David Price via his website, and from our first meeting David proved to be responsive, warm and intelligent. We were first-time home buyers with many questions and gaps in our understanding, and David took us through the steps of a home purchase in Pinellas with special patience and integrity.

When we found the home we wanted, David helped us structure an offer in our price range that was accepted with only minor modifications. While under contract, he stayed in close touch and was always available for our many and various concerns. After the sale went through, David has continued to go beyond the call of duty, providing sound advice and assistance on the basics of new homeownership and maintenance.

Without hesitation, we will recommend David Price to anyone we speak with about living in Pinellas County, as we feel he is absolutely top-rate in his profession. With all the complexities of moving from California to Florida, changing jobs and shipping furniture along the way, we feel great about how it all settled out, and consider David Price to be a key ingredient and good friend."

"Having David as your realtor means the difference between buying a home and being merely happy, or buying a home and being absolutely thrilled."

Matthew Waldron

"Thank you once again for making an out of state purchase so seamless. I couldn't image a transition going so smoothly. It was a pleasure working with you and I hope to again in the near future. Best to you and your wife and new baby girl."

Lesky“David consistently displayed the highest levels of professionalism, integrity, and dedication. He took time to educate me about vital information and made sure I was comfortable in the decision making. David never once made me feel pressured into acting without an adequate comfort level. His customer service skills were exceeded only by his ability to determine my needs and find options to fit those needs.”

“From the comfort of our new home, we wanted to extend our very special thanks for all your hard work in closing on our old home. It is quite probable that within the next 3-5 years we will be moving once more and without hesitation your phone will be the first that rings. You have given us the highest level of satisfaction and service and our experience in kind words will hopefully help secure a additional future business for you and Coldwell Banker.”
