David's Reviews
I recently bought my first home, and David was the agent. As a first home buyer I had little knowledge of the process, and was relieved to be able to work with an agent so accomodating and honest. David went above and beyond to answer all my questions, provide support, and kept me in the loop every step of the way. Thanks David, you made a daunting process a pleasure!
It was an absolutely pleasure dealing with David to buy our first ever house. He was always there for us to ask any questions we had (and there was a lot) being first home buyers this was such a new & nerve-racking experience for us. David never got annoyed or frustrated with us once & continued to answer all our questions happily. I couldn’t recommend “YOUR AGENCY” enough, especially David. They aren’t like any other realestate we have come across in the past. They generally care & give you the time of day. We can’t thank you enough for everything you have done in supporting us with the purchase of our first ever home, it is everything we have ever wanted & more. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! You guys are absolute legends 🤙🏽 Sam & Chloe
‘David was a breathe of fresh air in the Real Estate market and we loved purchasing through him. He was always honest with us and although he works for the vendor it felt like he worked for us as well, he got the best price for his vendor but we also feel we got our property for a great price. We’d been looking for over 6 months and found agents wouldn’t get back to us or give us the time of day, David would always made himself available and always returned calls, he just made things work. The transaction was so smooth sailing and stress free the purchase was highly enjoyable and so exciting for us. For our first time purchasing we couldn’t have asked for a better agent to purchase off, we’d most definitely have no hesitations in recommending David to anyone (he even comes with a bubbly personality and great laugh). We simply loved David.
David was such a pleasure to deal with. Buying during Covid-19, whilst living in Canberra, presented some challenges. Other agents showed us the very worst traits of real estate agents. David however, from initial contact was nothing but a joy to deal with. Even though he was working for the vendors, we felt and appreciated his honesty, integrity and interest in matching a property to our needs. After looking for months and making many trips to inspect properties only to be disappointed, David listened to us. He had 2 properties that fulfilled our wants/needs, in our preferred area, within a week. His thorough knowledge of the area and market was evident. Thanks to his ability, we purchased one of those properties prior to auction, could not be happier and cannot rate him highly enough.
Davids passion and knowledge of the market is exceptional. We found that David operated with honesty and integrity and continued to keep us up to date every step of the way,and as a result David was able to achieve the outcome that exceeded our expectations within a tight time frame. If you are looking to buy or sell property we highly recommend David as the real estate agent for you.
This Dynamic duo that is David and Chris of Your Agency Hamilton are serious contenders to be the long overdue competition to the agents that have held the monopoly on the prestigious real estate market that Newcastle has to offer. They have handled 3 property transaction for us, all with the exceptional results we had hoped for, they are trustworthy, reliable, punctual and you are treated like a sole customer on there quite sizable sale/rent roll, they are truly "Your Agency". Highly recommended them for all your real estate needs.
David was fantastic with this sale. From the day we signed on he spent cosiderable time explaining the whole process and ensuring we understood all aspects of our impending sale. All his trades and in particular his stylist were excellent in getting our property in the best possible shape to showcase it. The marketing campaign was seamless, every decision worked out perfectly, resulting in a quick sale right at the top of the price range. Could not be happier with David and his team.
David C- is a well established agent and has a soundly base commercial overview of the Newcastle market!
His creative presentation skills were second to none after he encouraged me to have my apartment styled before going to the market, he also said a professional video would greatly assist my property which I can say now it certainly did!
The drone footage was fantastic flying up and down the harbourside before zooming into my penthouse apartment it certainly gave my property the edge over its rivals. David & his team always maintained a "buzz" when showing the property and Open Homes were styled each and every time!
After having some major issues mid transaction; it soon became apparent that; David certainly knows how to close a deal. I could not recomend David and the Your Agency team more highly, I have already transferred all my investment properties across to Your Agency after experiancing the professional difference they bring to the industry.
I can't thank David and his team enough for all their hard work and dedication they put into getting our poroperty sold for the best possible price! We will be forever grateful for their hard work and continual support through the Auction process. I cannot recommend them enough!
We chose David to sell our home as we found him to be an excellent communicator and highly knowledgeable. He is down to earth and made it quite easy to sell our home even though we were 3 hours away for most of the sale period. When we had trouble with a subsequent purchase he went out of his way to ensure he did all he could to help us, even though there was no financial benefit for him doing so.
It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Dave and his team. They were professional and went above and beyond what could have ever been expected. Dave was able to achieve an amazing result with clear communication and impeccable integrity. We could not recommend Dave & his team highly enough.
David could not have been more helpful. He was fantastic in every way and he made the transaction stress free for the both of us. And he was fun to deal with throughout the entire process! Nothing was ever to much trouble and he explained the process from start to finish which went like clockwork. Thanks again David
David communicated with us regularly so we felt completely comfortable. We would be happy to recommend him to friends and family. Market Knowledge Communication Skills - 5 Star Credibility - 5 Star Negotiation Skills- 5 Star
Overall Satisfaction Couldn’t recommend them high enough.Vendor Review - Recommended by CrystalArnold 31 October 2018Great agents, both David and Chris have been exceptional and a pleasure to deal with. Made the sales process very easy and they kept a us informed every step of the way
David, just a quick note to thank you for a very pleasant experience although we understand that you were acting on behalf of the seller. You made the experience, enjoyable and fun and you were MOST professional throughout the process. We are very much looking forward in going out together for dinner in the not to distant future. Have a fantastic weekend
Sold in two weeks for a great price - 02 Aug 2018 David sold our house in 2 weeks above the price we wanted. We couldn’t ask for more. He was enthusiastic and professional from the start. Ran a great marketing campaign. The best photos, floor plans and flyers which now as a buyer I know is important. He was well organised and a great communicator at the open homes. At the start I asked David at the start to show me the money and he did in two weeks. So if your looking for someone to do a great job, help you along the way and show you the money, I recommend David. When I sell again he will be the first person I call.
I found David to be a most competent, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable young man, who gave me sound advice. He is very aware of the market and gave me a realistic home evaluation when I was ready to sell my townhouse. David was a very honest person and I was comfortable using him as my agent. He stuck to the schedule and was always on time. I would recommend David to others, as I feel he had a good work ethic. My sincere thanks go to David as we achieved a good outcome. - Market Knowledge - Communication Skills - Credibility - Negotiation Skills
When we met Lyndsay we knew she was the agent we wanted to sell our home. We had spoken to numerous agents but none could beat Lyndsay. Lyndsay was professional, had excellent communication, fantastic advertising and knows the market well. We were able to sell our home at the price we wanted in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to recommend Lyndsay to others and would happily use her expertise again. Thanks Lyndsay! :)
David's focus on our needs was refreshing. His attention to detail and providing honest advice was extremely pleasing considering some of the stories your hear. David was methodical, sharp and a body of knowledge. He's total focus on providing the best experience for us together with the best channel to market and the best conversations was a unique style. David builds trust really quickly and then provides you updates continuously during the process.
Had a great experience buying through David. Having been in the Real Estate Industry for over 25 years myself, it was refreshing to find an Agent like David who always took the time to follow up, communicate promptly and efficiently.
Fantastic agent who went above and beyond at every step making the process easy for us despite crazy work schedules and followed through on all aspects of purchasing the property even if it created work for him. Definitely recommend David for his common sense approach and ease to work with.
Both Anne and David’s service and attention to detail exceeded our expectations in the sale of our home. The pair went above and beyond in their professional duties, and we felt supported in every step of the sale process. We were continually surprised at the little extras they would do which were not necessary, but made all the difference in the sale, and support to our family. We are thoroughly and utterly satisfied with the service and outcome of using Your Agency and cannot speak highly enough of Anne and David.
I chose David as my listing agent as he was the listing agent when I purchased 5 years ago. Back then, I found David to be genuinely enthusiastic, great at making things happen and keeping me in the loop during the whole process. Five years on and nothing has changed, David and his team were extremely thorough, did what they said they were going to do, when they said they were going to do it. Our price strategy combined with their excellent marketing plan worked a treat; we had a SOLD sign up within 7 days of going to market. As a vendor, you couldn't really ask for much more.
When we decided to sell our investment property in Neath NSW, we knew from previous experience that we could trust David to put all his energy and experience into the sale. He advised on and organised the marketing; conducted the open days and negotiated with several prospective buyers achieving a very good price for the property within 2 weeks of listing. We highly recommend David to anyone wanting to sell their house as he works for your best interest at every stage of the sale process.
I was super impressed with Davids all round knowledge of properties in the area He was very relaxed and made the journey an easy one for we who have not had much to do with house sales. We had nearly 100 onlookers at our Auction which resulted in us selling for $865,000 which was fantastic as our expectation was around $700,000!!!! Thanks again David for convincing us to sell by Auction and trust your judgement it was terrific!
David did a great job once again for us. He was very accommodating and worked exceptionally hard for us to get a good result! We're pretty fussy when it comes to selecting professionals and Your Agency exceeded our expectations (easy to communicate with, reliable, presented the house well, top of the range marketing, negotiated very well, worked hard at following up every interested party over the phone and through extra inspections, didn't give up or lose motivation even though the house was on market for longer than expected, gave good advice- we should have listened to some of his advice a bit more actually). We have no doubts recommending him and in fact already have to our friends ( : The other major bonus is that David's commission is very reasonable compared to other agents!
After being on the market for a period of time with another agent a change of strategy was needed. With some smart marketing and making the property look like a total new listing David was able to achieve a satisfactory result at the first open house. Excellent feedback and communication was given during the sale process to settlement. If you are considering selling and would like a modern approach its worth a chat with David Caldwell.
We recently used David to sell our property and couldn't be happier. His communication throughout the process was excellent, keeping us up to date every step of the way. David has endless amounts of knowledge to draw upon and an infinite amount of techniques to get buyers engaged which lead to a sale price over $20k above our best expectations. When it comes time to sell again David will be the first and only agent on our mind. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend David and Your Agency to any of our dearest friends and family.
Hi Dean, Thanks for all of your help and the fabulous outcome we had on Saturday with the sale of the house. As promised: ‘We are delighted with our house sale result from Dean Pinter and the team at Your Agency. Dean showed deep local market knowledge and a high degree of integrity from the outset. He provided sound advice in terms of getting our home sale ready and was realistic and grounded when providing sale estimates. The team worked with our family to minimise impact during the sales campaign. The final result at auction far exceeded our expectations and has made an enormous difference to our future choices. This result is a reflection of the hard work Dean put into identifying target buyers for a unique period home. There is no comparison between Dean and other agents we talked to, he is a straight shooter who provides personalised service and strives for honesty and transparency in his business dealings and gets exceptional results. We’d highly recommend you consider him for your real estate needs’ – Sarah Jenkins & Michael Bogacz I hope this helps and once again we are really pleased and grateful for all your help with selling Ferncourt. I hope you are feeling happy with the result too.
Best Wishes,
Sarah & Michael
Dear Anne,
Audrey and I thank you most sincerely for the professional way you handled our purchase. You listened to us and found our perfect home and assisted us in every step.
You were extremely thoughtful and hard working to help us move from our family home of 60 years in Sydney to start our new life in Newcastle.
We were very impressed with your service and highly recommend you to others,
Audrey and Ross
Thank you David for all your help with purchase of our new home.Moving survival package was a lifesaver!Products were our favourites brands and ice cold drinks gave us an extra burst to keep on going. My parents have said you are only the second agent in their lifetime that they have had a pleasant happy experience,with no stress or hiccups. We really appreciated your honesty and being professional at all times but making us feel completely comfortable with process of buying. We all wish you the very best for your future , which you deserve greatly, for all your hard work. Thanking youCheers Chris
This letter is by way of a reference for David Caldwell of Youragency.
We bought our current home in Maryville through David in 2012 (and thus have had sufficient time for any “issues” to appear – there have been none).
From the outset we considered David to be completely trustworthy. At no stage did he attempt to “oversell” the property; and the beautiful townhouse was (and continues to be) all that it was advertised as. And we couldn’t be more pleased with our home.
We have no hesitation in recommending David and Youragency to any potential buyer or seller. And if verbal confirmation of this reference is required we can be contacted on 0438637237.
Yours Sincerely,
Ian and Felicity Shepherd
We met Denise at an open house she was conducting when we were searching for our first home. We felt at ease with Denise right from the start and eventually purchased the property she was showing. Denise made the whole process comfortable and was very knowledgeable about the local area.
We would strongly suggest people call Denise when considering buying or selling.
Nathan and Amanda
Denise has regularly acted as the selling agent for properties I mange that come onto the market. My clients have always expressed the delight in her strong communication skills and open honesty. All clients said they would definitely appoint Denise for their next sale.
Patrick Mears- Property Manager
It is with great pleasure to write a reference for David Caldwell after he sold our investment property in Carrington.From the outset David was definitely the most enthusiastic agent that we interviewed for the right to sell our property. Nothing was too much trouble from the moment we requested an appraisal, David arrived at our property at very short notice to suit our schedule.Having met with two agents one being our who had been our managing for the past 8 years we finally finished with David’s assessment of our property. David explained that the inner city market was very busy and there was strong buyer activity therefore his opinion was around $20,000 higher than previous appraisals.At first we were sceptical about such a high figure being achievable but true to his word David had a full price offer with 5 days of hitting the market!We are very happy to recommend David to any future sellers as we have since engaged his services again to sell another property we have in Lake Macquarie.Many Thanks,
Having sold many properties and privately managing my own portfolio of rental properties, I certainly know a thing or two about Real Estate agents!
My previous experiences have always been overpricing, over promising and never delivering. However I cannot say the same about David Caldwell and Your Agency. Not only did he exceed our expectations when selling our property, but he always called me after every inspection with quality feedback good or bad.
I appreciate his honesty in telling me exactly what buyer’s thought of our property. As well as the way he conducted himself when dealing with our tenants. Being a share house for four individuals with our asking price based on their income, it was crucial we chose an agent that could liaise with not only us but with four tenants for each and every inspection.
Thanks again David for a fantastic result not only achieving a price we didn’t think possible, but for such a pleasant experience for our tenant’s who remained as private tenant’s for the new owners.
Truly a great result all round!
After speaking with David on the phone many times from our home in Mudgee, we immediately felt David was an honest young man who would always go out of his way top provide us with any information that we requested regarding our investment property and the Newcastle market.After much consideration we decided that we would make an appointment to meet David whilst visiting family in Newcastle.From the moment we met face-to-face it confirmed exactly what we were thinking about from our long distance phone calls. He was a highly knowledgeable and very ethical agent who always answered our concerns with factual information.Unbeknown to David our daughter also works in the real estate industry, so we crossed referenced everything with her; David passed our test with flying colours.Expressions of Interest -Was the method of sale that David advised us to use for our sale; as the property was zoned differently too most surrounding property. After the four-week period had passed we had extensive feedback from many different buyers and uses, which allowed us to then price our home correctly going forward.We felt confident throughout the process and after we took David’s advice and priced our home accordingly we sold some two weeks later. Our entire experience was very professional, everything we were told would happen did happen and the result that followed exceeded our expectations.Thank you again David

After meeting with several agent’s it was a breath of fresh air meeting David Caldwell. From the moment he walked into our home we instantly felt comfortable. Having not sold a property for many years, David took the time to explain every step of the selling process in great detail, which made me feel he was definitely the right choice for us!
With no pushy sales pitch like many before him, David simply explained the entire process, was totally transparent with pricing, fees as well as tailored a fantastic marketing campaign that suited our lifestyle and budget.
Thank you again David for such a great result, especially thanks for educating and supporting us throughout the entire process. After having the disappointment of having a sale not proceeding, it was David who remained focused and never lost sight of our goals. His professionalism and expert negotiation kept our sale together, whilst achieving the exact price that he initially quoted us.
I would definitely recommend anyone considering selling their property to contact David.
We were referred to Your Agency from a work college at the hospital; we hadn’t met David until he arrived at our property one late Saturday afternoon.
We found David very helpful and knowledgeable when it came to making slight improvements prior to hitting the market. After a quick coat of paint and general tidy of the lawns & gardens we were ready for the professional photography and photoboard.
David insisted on high quality marketing as most agents in our area were not using them and it would be a great point of difference from our competition. Sure enough we had a tremendous response to our first open home with several offers being made.
After David had spoken with every person that had been through our property he was able to increase the highest offer by another $15,000, which were pleased to accept. Most agents would have stopped there thinking the property was sold but David convinced us to keep our marketing campaign moving forward until we were unconditionally sold.
Looking back this was the best advice we ever had as we again had further interest week three, although not a higher price but as David explained it kept the pressure on the buyers and the sale moving forward in a timely manner.
After three weeks our property had unconditionally sold and for far more than both local agents had quoted us!
Thanks again David & Amy
We tried to sell our home privately without success; after we met David from Your Agency we soon learnt the benefits of selling with an experienced agent. David insisted on professional photography and premium marketing campaign, which we were unsure about.
However David insisted that if we were not happy with any part of the process he would refund our marketing costs. After doing so David attracted some 45 couples through our property at the first open for inspection and similar amounts week two.
This created multiple groups of people putting forward offers and competing for our home. The final result was outstanding with the house being sold in just three weeks for far more than we anticipated.
We found David to be open and honest throughout all his dealings, which was most important. We have no hesitation in recommending David and Your Agency to all our friends & family and have done so already.
We selected David Caldwell to sell our house because he immediately impressed us as someone with high integrity, sale experience and confidence in his own ability.
We have dealt with many real estate agents over the years and looked at several cost quotes in relation to this most recent sale. Once we met David we knew he would provide a high quality service at a fair price!
David is an excellent communicator, keeping all parties aware of developments whilst diffusing anxiety and ensuring that the process went smoothly. He understands the market extremely well and was able to work with buyers to get us the best price possible.
John and I would have no hesitation in recommending David and the team at Your Agency to anyone considering listing their property for sale.
I only have great things to say about David we met him one afternoon as we were cleaning up a rental property, which had been considerably mistreated by our previous tenants.David was door knocking the area after selling a property just around the corner. Having used Robinson property for many years we were in two minds as to who would represent us on this sale.Having just sold a property around the corner David claimed that he was currently assisting several parties who had missed out; which sounded too good to be true. However we decided to trust our instincts and listed the property with David for 1 Week only.Thinking that if he is claiming to have buyers ready to go lets test his honesty and enthusiasm to sell our property in a week!I don’t know of any agent that would have taken on such an extraordinary and demanding challenge. Without hesitation David agreed to sign us up for 1 week only and without hesitation he got to work. Three days and several offers later David negotiated with several buyers to assure we achieved the highest possible price.I still cannot believe the result you achieved within a 1 week period, truly amazing we cannot thank you enough.
We engaged David Caldwell as the agent to sell our home in Adamstown Heights. At the time David was attached to an established Agency.We knew we lived in a sought after suburb and ordinarily a relatively area to sell in. However our home was not so traditional. It was a 1960’s architecturally designed property on a very steep block of land, over four levels, in need of a massive makeover. We knew when we had decided to sell the home it would be a challenge.We selected David, not because of the firm he was with at the time, but because of David. David could see the shortcoming of the property, but what impressed us was his enthusiasm at its potential and his excitement to sell such a unique property. David knew the home would not appeal to the majority of the market, he knew he had to find the “perfect” buyer, which he did.David was well prepared when he met us for the first time. He met with us armed with the market research and enthusiasm. We knew then we had found our agent! David always kept us updated, gave us ample notice for open houses and was respectful of our individual situation. We could see David was genuine and this was something we wanted all our buyers to also see and feel when looking through our home.David sold our home within the first two weeks, but he did not leave us high and dry. We sought David’s advice when we had found a house to purchase and he did some research for us. This was above and beyond what we would expect of an agent, but something David would never think twice to do. We are now happily settled in our new home in Eleebana.Our only regret was that we sold our home before David started his own business! David is not your traditional agent. He epitomizes what areal estate agent should be and we have no doubt working for his own agency will bring him all the rewards he deserves. He is a genuine, positive, enthusiastic, knowledgeable agent and we would have no hesitation in recommending him to manage the sale of your property. We would be more than happy to speak further about our experiences with David on the number detailed below.Regards,
We recently purchased a property on behalf of our son who is currently serving in the military and could not attend property inspections. After meeting such a young knowledgeable agent in David Caldwell we instantly felt comfortable and confident that we could act on our sons behalf whilst involving him every step of the way through David’s fantastic database service.Our son received regular email alerts and text messages from Your Agency as soon as a property hit the market we knew about it.Anything that we thought was suitable David arranged us too inspection on his behalf and report back. Rates, rental leases, Pest & Building reports what ever we requested was provided.David definitely went above and beyond the call of duty when assisting us and even came to the property after hours on his day off to show our son the property when he was in town.David you are definitely passionate about real estate and putting your clients first every step of the way! We have already referred you to all our family and friends and will continue to do so.Keep up the great work!
