This is the second time we have worked with David Bartels on a home sale. Both times he exceeded expectations. Before we made the decision to sell, David was very helpful with preliminary decision making. When the time was right, David sat down with us to gain a full understanding of our goals. Then, he put together a plan to achieve those goals. He followed through and did exactly what he said he would do to achieve our goals and ultimately exceeded what we had hoped for.David is a real professional with extensive knowledge of the real estate market as well as the mechanics of the sale itself. He explains concepts and terms clearly and lays out plans in an easy to understand way. He is fair minded and a great negotiator.I would not hesitate working with David on future home sales and have recommended him to friends and family.

David and Everhome were great at selling our home. They offered expert advice which was accurate and helped us sell our home substantially over asking prince. We also saved greatly on realtors commissions by using Everhome. He and his staff were always attentive to our needs and were very prompt to answer our questions and concerns. I highly recommend David Bartels and Everhome without reservation.

We worked with David Bartels and his associate Heidi Trottno on the purchase of two homes. Buying a house is normally a stressful adventure but they made it so easy and seamless! They always responded to our questions and concerns quickly and thoroughly. They took care of us as if we were family. David and Heidi are both incredibly seasoned professionals and we will not hesitate to work with them again in the future!

This is the first time Ive used “Everhome Realty” however second time Ive used a flat fee company. Everhome offered more services than most flat fee companies. Our agent (Elena out of South Florida) was very engaging and had a genuine interest in having a successful transaction at the right price in a timely manner. She was responsive to our concerns in a quickly changing market and provided market analysis products to justify her recommendations. She also made money-saving suggestions for the closing process.Our house went on the market right as the Fed was raising rates (Spring ’22) which caused an immediate “cooling down” of a previously red-hot seller’s market in FL. Properties that previously were being bought virtually… and practically sight unseen, were now being knit-picked over the interior paint scheme to lower the price! After my initial attempt at FSBO had not produced any offers, we signed up with Everhome then followed Elanas recommendations and soon had an offer within the expected average days on the market for our price point…which we were happy to get our (adjusted) listing pricing!!. The Buyer’s Agent (BA) was very un-involved and non-communicative once the purchase contract was signed (later learned buyers were from W. Palm Beach but referred to BA in Miami-Dade.) In our opinion she embodied most traits that reflect poorly with realtors as a profession…make unfulfilling promises then do as little as possible yet expect a handsome payday at closing. Elena doggedly sent repeated emails and texts for the BA, title company and Lenders to keep US in the loop of the closing process let them know we are available to provide any info needed to expedite the process. Elena did not receive a single call from BA until day of closing (which was postponed due to Ian)…NOW they were wanting info to assist the new owner with the property.Overall, did Everhome save me money?…Yes; Did they provide the services claimed?…Yes; Would I use them again and/or recommend them?...Yes; Will I ever use a “full service” listing agent again?...Definitely Not!!

David and his team have been fabulous in selling our home. Our house is very unique and required a difficult-to-find buyer. David did more research than I even knew about the different natural features of our environmental house and Homestead. The buyers thank me consistently for a perfect fit home, custom made for them!

Just sold my house with David Bartels, only 2 days on the market and for well over asking price with multiple offers! This was in the middle of the pandemic shut down! I could not be happier! David assisted me with his thorough knowledge and his staff was fantastic through the whole process! They provided me with their handyman who did lots of great work to ready my place and David even gave me a moving truck which the handyman delivered. What a great service! We closed escrow early with the help from his office and the great escrow company they use. The whole process went very smoothly, I am whole heartedly grateful! I could not give them a higher recommendation! THANK YOU! Great Agent 5 stars all the way!!!

Everhome, is like no other real estate agency. I love the business model. It allows an owner to save lots of money, but receive; marketing, negotiation, legal and insurance assistance.We signed up and paid a low flat fee to Everhome. We paid no sellers commission. We were able to set our own buyers agents commission, which save us even more money. Everhome, listed our house on the MLS and major realty websites. Calls for appointments were screened by Everhome, for pre-qualification and sent to us. We set up appointments and showed the house ourselves. We enjoyed meeting everyone. We liked telling them all there is to do in the neighborhood. We gave them remodeling ideas. We even pointed out the plants and produce in the yard. When multiple offers came in David Bartels CEO of Everhome was a master negotiator. He educated us on real estate methods and practices. Sometimes we did not agree. Therefore, he helped us separate our emotions from logic and come to a compromise. He was wise, experienced, patient and professional. He insured that we accepted the financially strongest offer. This prevented the deal from falling out of escrow later. David and his amazing staff called, texted, and emailed every day during escrow. This allowed escrow to close smoothly and on time.Selling your home is very stressful. Emotionally, letting go of people and places in the area. Mentality, it is challenging because of all the legal jargon and documents. Physically stressful because of all the downsizing, garage sales, craigslist, and packing up the house and yard. We trusted and depended on David and the Everhome staff. Not only did they get us through, but David was fun, and often made us laugh. So, if you want less stress, with all the benefits of a realtor but dont want to spend $30,000, then Everhome is for you. It would be crazy not to use Everhome. We will always use them and we think everyone should.Aileen and ChrisVentura

Ive sold 5 houses over the years and I have to say our experience with Help-U-Sell Full Service Realty was exceptional. They provided full service and then some. Help-U-Sell provided a lot of research about the market, marketed our house listing expertly and their expertise really showed in the negotiation of the sales price. We finalized a sales contract with buyers in less than a week. They even lent us their moving truck. The savings on commission was icing on the cake. I highly recommend Help-U-Sell.

My experience with Help U Sell was by far the most relaxing part of the buying process. Davis Bartels was compassionate, empathetic to the specific budget needs our family requires. I found that having someone who understands a budget restrictive sale is most valuable. He did not push for the largest place, largest budget, largest commission for himself, he truly listened to what we wanted and found us a match. The way he handled the questions, stress, nervousness, is completely professional! Completely upstanding and worth the time it took. Help U Sell is a complete family run business, and when you buy or sell through them, you become one of their family. I will use and recommend them again and again. Purely positive experience. Highly recommended!
