I found David Lemel with Team Powerhouse by chance when I left him a voicemail to schedule a…read moreshowing for a home that he had listed. My husband, Josh, and I were casually looking for houses at the time (mostly just attending open houses for the prior six months) and we had not found a buyer's agent that we felt compelled to work with. David returned my call a few minutes later and let me know that the home I had expressed interest in was newly under contract. He asked questions about our current home buying situation and we spoke for an hour - it was a very informative and comfortable conversation. I felt an instant connection with David and we made plans to speak again that evening with Josh after he got home for work. My husband is a naturally skeptical person, especially when it comes to real estate. We had been through two prior home purchase experiences, one in Rhode Island and in Massachusetts. Each time we had terrible buyer representation from agents who seemed to be working in their self interest. Josh was especially left with a distaste for realtors and had a guard up. Despite his apprehension, Josh grudgingly agreed to speak with David. It was not instant for Josh, but over the weeks that followed, David proved that he was sincerely working to get us a home that we'd love, for the best possible price, and Josh quickly gained trust in him. David was highly knowledgeable about each town we were considering which was critical. Having only rented in Milford for two years after relocating from out of state, Josh and I were not sure which town made the most sense to raise our family in. David was candid about which towns to consider based on our desires and did not sugarcoat anything. David's level of communication is impeccable and unmatched. He always took time to call us and updated us on every step of the process. David was quickly available when we reached out to him, no matter what time of day or night it was. From the first conversation with David we knew his unique method of home shopping - each prospective buyer picks fifteen or so homes to see in one day, and by the end of that day they will know which home they want to purchase. We were thrilled with that (extreme house hunters-like) plan and when David explained the details about why this method is effective, it made so much sense. David created us an online account with all of the property listings in the towns we were considering, within our price range. Josh and I reviewed the listings and labeled each home as a Yes, Maybe, or No option. When the date for our house-hunting excursion was approaching, we went through the list of Yes and Maybe home options with David and narrowed the list down to the top twelve homes to see. When the day arrived David drove us to each home and took us out to lunch - it was fun! It was also very enlightening to see each home in one day, consecutively, to make an objective comparison of each property. By the end of the day we had seen two homes we loved and David reached out to the listing agents to get more insight. David was able to negotiate an extremely competitive price for us which gave us confidence that we got our home at the best possible price. We were so blown away with his expert negotiating skills from the initial offer to the inspection negotiations. David had recommended a mortgage broker to work with us, Jason Szerszen with Trademark Financial Group, LLC. Josh spoke with Jason but wanted to do some research and compare his rates and services with other loan officers that were recommended to us. After a few conversations with other providers it became evident that Jason's rates were the most competitive and he was the most knowledgeable. Jason made the mortgage process easy and the loan was cleared for closing before we finished inspection negotiations. We highly recommend Jason and are grateful that David had such a great mortgage guy! We were able to close even sooner than expected - just a month after our initial showing of the home we purchased! The closing could not have been a more pleasant experience. It was stress free, quick, and heartwarming. All of David's vendor recommendations have been top-notch, including the moving company, and our plumber and garage door repair person. We will continue to reach out to David for dependable vendor recommendations that come up in our new home. We never imagined meeting such a patient and caring individual; David was there through the entire process and was truly a pleasure to work with. David's professionalism, guidance, knowledge, honesty, and hard work ethic are much respected and appreciated. It never felt like David was just trying to sell us a house, but that he was a real estate consultant who was working on our behalf to help us make the best decision for our family. We will not only be references for life, but also friends. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you David Lemel and Team Powerhouse! We highly recommend David!

In order to reduce the number of trips we'd have to make to sell our property, he communicated with our tenant and met repairmen whenever possible.

I also wanted to wait to leave a review until the very very end of this whole process (it took 6 months due to covid-19) and I just wanted to make sure before I left a review everything was done and accounted for before I gave him a 10 out of 10. He really deserves the rating because he stuck through the whole six months and was always there for every question that popped up. I would definitely recommend him for a foreclosed purchase, a new home, or both!
