I had to leave the country for my work and he took care of everything. He was honest, thorough and great to work with. A great listener, David puts himself in YOUR shoes when helping search for the perfect home. He is tireless and is excellent on following through! I was referred to David through a mutual friend. What I immediately appreciated about David (and what set him apart from other agents
instantly) is his responsiveness. He is an OUTSTANDING listener. He inquired thoroughly about my preferences/reasons/budget. Knowing I wanted to act fast, but at the same time did not want to leave any stone unturned, he conducted an exhaustive search. He is so personable and thorough, that the listing agents we came across were gracious to us in our search. I am very fortunate to have worked with David!”
Laura T. When I was looking to purchase an apartment, multiple agents courted me. In the end, David became my top choice! He was simply the best; always one-step ahead of the game and impressive with an uncanny knowledgeable of the ins and outs of all the apartments we looked at. He would often notice the small things that would make or break a potential sale and could always be trusted to give his honest opinion on a place. David would always go the extra mile and I feel very lucky to have found him! Aldous D.
“David is a fantastic real estate broker to work with as an attorney as well as a client. He is diligent when putting a deal together and patient with his clients needs and wants. I highly recommend David to anyone seeking a competent and highly qualified real estate broker to work with.”
Howard Balsam Esq. When looking into purchasing a second home in the city, my husband and I had the distinct pleasure of working with David. He asked thoughtful questions to discern our unique needs, demonstrated extensive knowledge about the history, culture and "happenings" of specific neighborhoods and had a respectful and genuine interest in the historic properties that we saw. It was a relief to have our needs put first and foremost and I would highly recommend anyone looking for top-drawer service to work with this fine agent. I have lived in New York for nearly 10 years, and I am finally looking to buy an apartment for the first time. In a stroke of good fortune, I picked David Drake as my broker. He has been doing a wonderful job...he is incredibly thoughtful, responsive, and thorough. Most importantly, he has made this process a lot easier and more fun than I had anticipated. I am sure you are well aware of how great David is, but I always like to acknowledge when I am getting such good service!
