Testimonials
David,
Both Jim and I hope you know how grateful we are to you for giving us so much of your time and for doing all you could to help us find a home that has so many of the features we wanted…waterfront, hurricane glass windows, generator, boat dock, boat lift, etc..etc... We knew it would be a challenge, but we were optimistic that something would turn up. You have been so kind, and so patient and not once did you ever hurry us along or try and convince us to do or not do something in the process. You have been carful to point out things that we might not be aware of and you have tried so hard to consider us, our age, our lifestyle, our habits and so forth....this has meant so much to both of us…and in the end, you found us a home that we both just love.
We wish we did not have to return back to the UK……but on the other hand we are anxious to get back, to pack out, and to return to the US and accept the keys to our own home!!!! We can't wait to call our new waterfront place "home".
We LOVE the house…..and we feel so very lucky that you found it in the nick of time for us.... and that our offer was accepted…..and that things are falling into place. We are the ones who are blessed, David. Getting to know you has been a treat in so many ways. You have taken such excellent care of us and we both appreciate your efforts and the tremendous amount of time you have extended on our behalf, both with us and behind the scenes for us. Thank you for your ongoing help. YOU are the star of the Saint Lucie County real estate business!!!
Warmest regards as always,
Jim and Dixie McKay

David Gates handled the sale of our recently purchased second home in Southeast Florida. We found him
to be very client-oriented and a sincere professional. David was prompt in answering our many questions
and supplied us with all the information we requested regarding the property. He always responded to our
e-mails and phone calls with efficiency and enthusiasm. During the negotiations of the contract, he maintained
constant communication and e-mailed all pertinent documents to us for review. David treated us as if we were
his only clients and he had all the time in the world to assist us.
Because we were out-of-state buyers, the sale required a greater effort on David's part, but he always maintained
a positive attitude and a pleasant disposition. Even after the closing of the sale, David continued to offer his
assistance to us. As a courtesy because we lived out of state, he volunteered to oversee the additional work we
were having done to the property and acted as liaison to several other projects after the sale. We couldn't have
done it without him!
David Gates was an absolute pleasure to work with and we strongly recommend him to anyone considering buying
or selling a home.
Sincerely,
Roger and Pamela Koll

We were referred to Dave through friends from Stuart, Florida who hired Dave to sell their home and had a very
enjoyable experience working with him. From day one, Dave took the time to really listen to what we were looking
for in a home, then applied that to the waterfront areas he specializes in. He found us a beautiful new lakefront
home with a view that is “to die for”. We appreciate all the time he spent, the research he did on our behalf, and
the constant follow-through that was so important for our piece of mind. He was extremely patient with us every step
of the way, and that had to be tough since we were up in New Jersey throughout most of the process. We will be using
Dave for all future real estate transactions in Florida.

Dave was referred to us by a friend who splits her time between California and Florida. Being this was our first
time purchasing a home, we were understandably nervous. Dave was not only professional but really took the
time to make us feel comfortable and secure with him and the whole home-buying process. He kept us fully
informed with no room for uncertainty . Dave’s integrity and honesty shined the whole way through making sure
to look out for our best interests. Although we were his clients, he gave us the utmost attention you would expect
only a friend would give. He got us into our dream home and made buying our first home a fabulous experience.
He is a remarkable realtor and an even more amazing person. We will proudly use Dave for all of our future real
estate needs and recommend him to all our friends and family who are interested in buying or selling a home.
Sincerely,
Tanya Matruolo & Omar Sfreddo

David worked relentlessly for us in finding the ideal home that satisfied our wishes. He was on call at any time
of the day to show us potential residences that were of interest to us, to answer all of our questions, and to address
any issues that may have arisen. He worked diligently, searching through thousands of properties, to find that
extraordinary place we now call our home.
David has a sincere concern for his client’s wishes, and was with us every step of the way, from viewing several
potential homes, to the closing, and weeks beyond. He listened to what was important to us, and in only a few days,
found that special place that had everything we wanted, and more. He is truly a professional, making sure every
detail is met with accuracy and grace.
David is a gentleman that is not just our Real Estate Agent, but has become a life long friend. We have, and will
continue to, recommend David to our friends and family who are in need of a real estate professional. He is truly
an asset to the Real Estate community.
With greatest respect,

David is an exceptional person who takes on the responsibility of your needs like they are his own. My wife and
I moved to the St. Pete area, from Fort Lauderdale last year because of work. We first had our home listed with
Coldwell Banker from November 2005 to September 11, 2006. We were given nothing but excuses as to why our
home was not selling. Finally after a much overdue decision we decided to call David Gates with Keller Williams.
He took our burden and turned it into an opportunity. On September the 18th, seven days later, David had not
only found someone to purchase our home but had multiple other offers still coming in! My wife and I couldn’t believe
it! We can't put into words how happy we are that we found David Gates to represent us in selling our home.
