About David

"When we started searching for our dream house, we knew the realtor selection would be one of the most important decisions we would make in the process, as both our bar and the market conditions set the expectations high. On one hand, we were first time buyers in the US and did not understand the process very well. While, on the other hand, we are quite experienced by having properties elsewhere and a clear idea of what house we wanted to buy. We also had a relatively short time period to find the house, as our lease was expiring and we did not want to find a temporary rental. Couple this up with record low inventory and houses being snagged within hours of being put on the market. In all this we wanted to have someone who could be a trusted advisor: having an opinion and voicing that, but without the used car salesman approach of just wanting the sale to be done at all costs. In all of this David Park was great. We've seen tons of houses, and sorted out through an order of magnitude higher. We've been through a couple of competitive bids that we unfortunately lost; but thankfully with David's help we deployed the right strategies and did not succumb to a bidding fever at all costs. David was always very patient and available almost 24/7, including weekends. At the end it all paid off as we found the ideal house. The process of closing was also exemplary. We knew given the market temperature that we needed to act fast. We saw the house the day it came on the market, a Friday. Made a bid the same day, and reached a non-binding agreement over the weekend. Monday was a holiday, notwithstanding, David was able to arrange an inspection and as such ultimately reached a binding agreement. A couple of months after the sale closed I had a brief conversation with the seller's realtor. She actually mentioned that she regretted closing so fast, as she got so many inquires afterwards and likely the house could have fetched a higher price. In the end, it pays to have someone good on your side"

"A man of action! An excellent agent, David was fast and professional in every step in the process of selling our home. He was extremely honest, upfront, communicative and easy to reach to answer any of our questions at all times. David is an excellent negotiator with a very personalized touch. Could not be more pleased. Highly recommend!"

"I highly recommend David Park as a realtor. He has a very personable demeanor, listening to us (my wife and me) while maintaining the advisory role. This is an art of managing the client's expectations that could be unrealistic in the insane seller's market like Seattle metro area. He appropriately informed us the necessity of waiving the contingencies. He understands the market really well and provided the right target properties based on our input and somewhat limited understanding of certain areas. He quickly sent us a video file of a property for us make a buying decision without having to visit the property physically. In one case, he provided an explanation why a property was below market price (i.e. high voltage electric lines above the house). Then it comes down to the negotiation skill. Our offer was close but not the highest. Utilizing his resources, he was able to convince the seller and accept our offer. This skill comes with experience, relationships with other realtors in the marketplace, and persistency. I think David has what it takes to turn his clients' desire into a reality in a highly competitive market."

"I had the pleasure of working with David Park to find a home, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the outset, David's ability to communicate seamlessly in both Korean and English was a tremendous asset, ensuring that my mother and I understood the intricacies of the real estate process. Despite our short notice, David greeted us with genuine warmth and patience. What stood out most was David's openness and respect for our preferences. Unlike other realtors who hastily dismissed our aspirations, David took the time to listen, never pressuring us. This was especially crucial for me, considering my past burnout and recent journey as a cancer survivor in remission. David's support extended beyond just making a sale – he offered valuable insights into property layouts and leveraged his familiarity with the East Side to guide us. We stumbled upon a house we loved, and David's efficiency in navigating deadlines and explaining financial aspects was remarkable. His timely check-ins, via email and a clear list of deadlines, were a lifeline for someone juggling multiple responsibilities. I appreciated David's transparency and dedication to ensuring we comprehended every detail. He didn't merely showcase his knowledge of the area; he invested time in understanding our family's needs, setting him apart from other agents. I never felt pressured or manipulated; instead, David was a steadfast advocate and adviser throughout the entire process. In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend David Park to anyone seeking properties on the East Side or in the broader Seattle area. His knowledge, coupled with a genuine interest in his clients' well-being, creates a real estate experience that is both professional and personable. Working with David has been a uniquely positive and memorable journey, and I can't thank him enough for his outstanding support from start to finish."

"David has been an excellent agent. I first worked with David as a property manager to help me list my home as a rental unit, and I couldn't have been happier with David's services. He was always able to negotiate and rent the property on time. He is extremely responsive, very cordial and knows what it takes to maintain and list a house. When the time came for me to sell my unit, I relied to David's expertise again. With his input and negotiations, I was able to sell my property over $40K over asking! David looks out for you, whether you are a buyer or a seller. He gaves excellent tips to maintaining the property and making just the right changes so that it would stand out in a competitive marketplace. Thanks to David, my property really stood out and I got a great offer, in the first week of the unit being posted. I will highly recommend David for your real estate needs."

"There is a reason David has consistently received 5 star reviews. Look at all the 5 star reviews. Now I am here to add another 5 star review. My wife Melissa found and chose David to represent us as our buyer agent based on all his good reviews. He is honest, looks out for his clients, is a great communicator, and most importantly I think without him representing us and his negotiation skills we would not have gotten our offer accepted in the competitive Kirkland real estate market. There were multiple offers (pending in 1-2 days): one offer was all cash, and another offer higher than ours, but through David’s negotiation skills he was able to get our offer accepted over the others. Thank you so much David! I hope we get to work together again! I have already recommended you to my friends."

"DAVID IS A FANTASTIC PROBLEM SOLVER. HE RECENTLY REPRESENTED A SELLER ON THE SALE OF A CONDO IN KIRKLAND. THE BUYERS ORIGINAL LENDER CAME IN WITH A LOW APPRAISAL MORE THAN 10% BELOW THE PURCHASE PRICE. DAVID QUICKLY STEPPED IN AND HELPED NAVIGATE A SOLUTION THAT WAS A WIN FOR BOTH PARTIES. HE REFERRED THE BUYER TO A LENDER THAT WAS ABLE TO MATCH THE INTEREST RATE, GET THE LOAN APPROVED AND CLOSE IT IN A TIMELY MANNER. DAVID WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN MAKING SURE THAT ALL PARTIES CAME OUT WINNERS IN THIS TRANSACTION."

"During the short and hectic process of preparing to move back to Korea, I quickly sold our Bothell house through David. He meticulously handled every step and informed me in advance of tasks that needed to be done, allowing me to sell the house at top value with multiple offers despite our busy schedule. I have worked with several realtors before, but David truly works with sincerity and utmost dedication for his customers. He guided me with systematic statistics and marketing in an easy-to-understand manner. The staging manager, Cheryl, and the photographer, Andrew, were also outstanding. If I ever buy a house in the Seattle area again, I would definitely want to work with David. Above all, if you want reliable and top-notch service, I highly recommend David without hesitation."

"We had a great experience working with David Park. He was fast, responsive, and always kept us informed throughout the entire home-buying process. His attention to detail was outstanding, ensuring that every aspect of the purchase was smooth. What truly set him apart was his dedication—when a storm hit the town, he personally checked the house and made sure the seller addressed all necessary repairs before closing. If you’re looking for a realtor who genuinely cares, I highly recommend David!"

"David have great capability to manage and control all the staging/listing recommendations and execute negotiations with buyers. It was great pleasure to work with him all these tedious & meticulous selling process. I do recommend him to be your selling agent in case up."

"Hands down the best purchase experience I have had. David knew exactly what the buyer are concerned about, knew what to do on competitive bidding situation and how to win the bid. He's the agent you can trust and win the bidding war, even if your offer is not the highest. He communicates swiftly and smoothly with the seller and was within reach throughout the whole closing process, always very responsive. I definitely work with David again on my next property purchase. I bought several properties around Seattle, and Youngjin Park was the best agent I've ever worked with. He accurately pointed out what the buyer was curious about and concerned about, made an offer accordingly, and always helped quickly and accurately in contacting the seller. From the time we toured the house before the offer until the day the offer was accepted and closing, they always contacted us promptly and always responded quickly and helped us when we needed or had questions. If I have a real estate transaction next time, I will definitely work with Youngjin Park."

"David was such a pleasure to work with. He provided the facts without overpromising or undervaluing. In every step of the process, he was friendly and patiently answered my endless questions. Needless to say, he made the process of selling my home as stress-free as it could be and highly recommend to anyone looking for a realtor in the Greater Seattle area."

"As a new resident moving from California to Washington, I was initially overwhelmed by the prospect of finding the perfect home in an unfamiliar state. However, working with David Park made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. David demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the local market and provided invaluable insights into the different neighborhoods, helping me make an informed decision. David was always available to answer my questions, no matter how trivial, and went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule. David was patient, never rushing me into a decision, and provided honest feedback about each property. [His/Her/Their] professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for my satisfaction made all the difference. Thanks to David, I am now settled in a beautiful home that perfectly suits my needs. I highly recommend David to anyone looking to buy a home in the Greater Seattle Area."

"David is an outstanding Real Estate Professional. He is communicative, organized, and intelligent. I've begun referring him to close friends and colleagues and they seem to think the same. If you are like me moving to this area and unsure where to begin, look no further. You need the very best to succeed in this market. Working with David was one of the best decisions I made in my move to Seattle."

"He is the greatest realtor I have ever met! The other realtors I’ve worked with in the past felt like they were just focused on making a deal for the commission. But he truly prioritized helping me understand the process, the properties, and market trends. From the moment I reached out to him for information about the market, he guided me every step of the way. He explained properties in great detail and was highly professional in negotiations. When I submitted my offer, I was competing against six other buyers. He worked tirelessly, negotiating with the seller until midnight every day, and in the end, he made the deal happen for me. I truly believe he can help with anything related to real estate. If you’re looking for an agent, just contact him first—he will answer your questions with kindness and expertise!"

"At first, I was unsure about working with him, wondering if he would truly prioritize my home purchase. Given how busy he must have been—especially as one of the most popular brokers in this highly competitive, seller-oriented market—I had my concerns. But as the process moved forward, I quickly realized I was completely wrong. Even when my first offer was rejected, he remained calm and reassured me that he would make it happen. His confidence helped ease my frustration and gave me peace of mind. Throughout our home tours, what impressed me most as a first-time buyer was that he focused on pointing out the cons rather than just the pros. First-time buyers tend to be drawn to surface-level attractions, but he made sure to highlight potential concerns first—drawing from his deep experience in the industry. I could tell he wasn’t just trying to rush the deal but genuinely wanted what was best for me. His responsiveness was unbelievable—whether by text, messaging, email, or phone, he replied almost in real time, no matter when I reached out. As someone who had just moved from South Korea, I had countless questions about the home-buying process. Even when I asked what might have seemed like silly or basic questions, he always provided clear, thoughtful answers with thorough explanations. His negotiation skills are unmatched. He worked closely with the seller’s broker to strengthen my position, and thanks to his strategy—both in negotiation and behind the scenes—I secured my home with just my second offer. If you’re reading this and looking for an agent to buy or sell a home, he is the one you need!"
