We had such a great experience with David in buying our new house, working with him again to sell our old one was a no-brainer. He is patient, knowledgeable, sets realistic expectations, and has a great, easygoing demeanor that makes an otherwise stressful situation feel relatively painless. Working with him has been a pleasure.

David was so patient with us as we dragged him all over the NorthShore! He seemed to really focus on getting to know us as individuals and then use that information to help us narrow our search. He was a good balance for us of standing back and letting us steer the ship and giving helpful advice when we asked for it.
I felt comfortable working with Dave throughout the entire process. It's the second time I've used him and would gladly recommend him to anyone.
David was very helpful and positive through the whole process. He made suggestions to improve our listing and helped us get more than we expected on the sale of our home. Overall, he and the rest of the RedFin team made the process very easy.

David was a fantastic help during the buying process. He always gave honest and straightforward opinions and advice and did not pressure us on any property we toured. When it came time to start to assess offer strategies, he was quick to generate the CMAs and was not afraid to call out listings he felt were overpriced, even at the risk of prolonging the hunt process. We eventually settled on a shortlist of properties outside the original areas we were looking at and outside his usual neighborhoods, but he still did his homework, research, and was present for all the tours at that point, and we felt he was still spot-on on his assessments. He was also key in negotiating price with the seller's agent, and on top of the whole process...even past agreeing upon the price. As an added bonus,... Show More

David is extremely knowledgable about homes and the home buying process. He spotted things that we missed, both good and bad at all the houses we saw. This was our first time purchasing a home and David was extremely patient and did a great job in helping us understand the many facets of our search and purchase.

From the first meeting to the last, David was always available to answer our questions and never rushed us. His extensive knowledge of home maintenance and repair was also very valuable during the search. We would definitely work with David again and recommend him to others.

If David Yokum is your real estate agent you are in for a treat. He was so patient with us- I had a very specific area in mind and big ideas. He helped me to refine my perspective and be sure that I didn't bite off more then I could chew with a fixer upper. I learned a lot about vintage homes and what to expect from Chicago real estate. He has a lot of expertise on the north side of Chicago. He made the process fun and was EXTREMELY attentive. I never had to wait around - he set up listings right away and never became impatient- it took us about a year and the home we bought is truly my dream house. What a great agent- he felt like a friend. I couldn't be happier! A+++!!!

I met David by chance when I wanted to see a Redfin listed home. I decided to use him as my Realtor and 3 weeks later I am in the home of my dreams! David is Professional, knowledgeable and kind. I am very happy I used Redfin!
We have to move to Chicago in a very short period. It is not easy to get everything just right especially for the house in a month. It is the biggest deal in our life. And we did it. And we are very satisfied with this purchase with David. He is very professional, very nice, and patient. Every time we have questions, concerns and David is right there helping us. His help makes us feel peaceful and confident. He is a reliable friend and a great agent. We highly recommend him to the people in need for a house.
David was a pleasure to work with. He was very professional, punctual and friendly. He is also extremely knowledgeable about real estate. David provided very good feedback about the properties we saw and pointed out details that I would have never noticed on my own.
I would definitely use David as my realtor again in the future and recommend him to my friends.
David helped us with our home purchase - we were first time buyers and initially not sure of what we wanted and ended up pulling out from an offer but Daivd was patient and calm and helped us all along the way and made sure we got into a house that we love !!
Thanks David
Dave was very experienced, which was really helpful when evaluating properties. I had never looked at homes before (first time buyer!) and had no idea what current standards of value are. Dave knew what to look for regarding every area of the home (lighting, floors, kitchen exhaust, furnaces, etc) and explained everything very clearly, without prejudice. Personally, he was really easy going, relaxed, and friendly--a delight to be around. I would certainly highly recommend working with him!

David is an extremely knowledgeable and understanding realtor. I love his seasoned approach, his candor, and his even-keeled demeanor. It's easy and actually pleasant to have had him in our corner for selecting, valuing, and negotiating our new property. I'm only upset that we bought a house we won't be moving from anytime soon because we won't be able to work with David for a long, long time!
Dave is a great agent. He was kind, patient, honest, and familiar with the market and area where we were looking. Dave provided good feedback during our search process and during the offer negotiation and inspection processes. I would absolutely recommend Dave and would be happy to work with him again in the future.
David is low key but knows what he's doing. We have worked with him when our son-in-law and daughter bought their first home and he was the perfect choice when we decided to move nearby. I would be happy to recommend him.

We feel so lucky to have found David and to have his wisdom, expertise, and honest advice. He has years of experience being an agent in Chicago, and he is a nice guy. He was always early to our appointments and well prepared with listing sheets and pleasant to work with. We had total trust in him. We were buying our first home, and David patiently saw a ton of homes and condos with us. David helped us expertly throughout the home looking and home buying process, including helping us submit a winning offer on a house that had about 12 other offers! He always responded promptly if not immediately to our emails and concerns. He made... Show More

我这次买到非常满意的房子,特别要感谢我的经纪人,我对他们充满信任,同时他们也给了我重要的建议和帮助,使得这次交易成功!我也会把他们推荐给我的朋友!Alice, 你是最棒的.
Agent Response:
Because we work as a team here at Redfin, I was able to partner with my fellow agent Alice Sieges. See Alice's profile page here:
https://www.redfin.com/real-estate-agents/alice-sieges
While I had the experience with luxury homes in Winnetka, Alice was invaluable in her ability to communicate with the client in their native language. We’re very proud of the result we were able to provide this client, and you can see from their review that they were very pleased as well.David, was great! As a first time home buyer, it was new and scary at the same time and it was wonderful to have someone who was very knowledgeable about the homes we visited to help ease our minds. He would show us things to look out for in homes because we were new to this(and we had no clue) . He was patient with us through out this whole process and he never pressured us, making it easy to find the right home for us. He was always quick in our communication. We were impressed by his rapid response to our many annoying questions and requests and he also gave great advice. I would definitely recommend him to others.

It was so easy to setup tours and see what I liked. Even though we were touring for several months he was never pushy. He was extremely knowledgeable and was able to identify both the good and bad about every property. When I found the one I wanted, the seller was giving us the cold shoulder on our initial offer. David knew the house was perfect for me so he made sure I was comfortable with increasing our offer and then stayed on top of the seller's agent until they accepted it. He was also helpful in getting us access to the house for inspections, etc. even though he was out of town. I loved working with David and would highly recommend him!

That has to be a record and I never once felt any pressure from him. He has been doing this a long time and has a ton of experience. I wish I could write more great things about him ... simple said ... I used him once, I used him again and I would recommend him to anyone. The fact that he stuck with me so long says a lot to me.

David was infinitely patient, has a great sense of humor, and a good eye for detail. We were looking on/off for 4+ years and with vastly different ranges from what should have been tear downs to houses stretching our limits. David was always available and taught us many things about different details that helped us define what we wanted. We ended up in a house that checked all our boxes and David and his team were great through the negotiations and closing process.
The Redfin model worked well for us as we did most of the searching and David put up with what we found. His other references and recommendations have also been great.

David was so easy to work with and always quick to respond. I would definitely recommend him!
We just bought our second home through David and, once again, he was terrific to work with. I can't imagine working with a better agent.

David (and RedFin) was so easy to work with throughout the process. No pressure but offering guidance through every step of the offer and purchase, we wholeheartedly recommend David and RedFin!
David was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We had a great experience with him from start to finish. He's also incredibly even-keeled which was awesome during the negotiation phase - we're a little on the neurotic side, so he balanced us out well.
David is incredibly busy; for that reason we had the help of many other redfin professionals along the way (for showings, inspections, etc). We enjoyed each of them equally as much. Even when David wasn't around he made a concerted effort to always check in with us - he was always up to speed and available!
Overall, so happy to have worked with David and the Redfin team.

Buying our second home was a long drawn out process primarily because we were looking to make an opportunistic purchase. As a result, we were looking for over two years. David guided us through this difficult process very patiently. He is very personable and was never pushy and always maintained a rational perspective. He is also very knowledgeable about the north-shore housing market. I would recommend David to any of my friends or family.

For more than a year, my wife and I searched for a home in Park Ridge. Thanks to David's help and diligence we were able to find one! Not only was he helpful in our search but we also appreciated his patience since we did tour over 100 homes! Thank you David, and the rest of the REDFIN team!

David is outstanding. A refreshing change from the typical real-estate agent. David was patient and helpful. After looking at 80 properties, we almost closed on a short sale we had been waiting on that we had found with our previous agent. Most agents would have been very upset, not David. We were happy to end up working with him on the property with finally purchased. He will be my first call when it is time to make another real-estate purchase.

David was patient and incredibly knowledgeable. He knew everything from building code, remodeling costs, to what to expect at the closing. He was great with the tour of the home and the negotiations.
If your in the market for a new home, David is exactly who you should be talking to.

David was great. It took us a while to find what we wanted. but he was always patient and supportive. He never pushed us to go after something that didn't fit and maintained professionalism during some difficult negotiations. He's seen a lot of properties and so was able to point out things that we wouldn't have noticed on our own. Very responsive and accessible. It was great working with him.
David is super responsive and very patient. We looked for the right house for about a year and he never got frustrated with our continued search. Redfin is an awesome concept and I honestly don't know why anyone would pick a traditional realtor over this service. We had all the benefits of a realtor by using David with far less hassle!

It seems that you are looking for houses forever and then, once you find the perfect home, the mortgage process takes even longer. Well, throughout all of that, David was by our side, letting us know what was going on. He was always prompt with questions and never pushy. We found our house and managed to pay what we wanted for it. You won't regret choosing David.

David was an excellent guide, helping us navigate a very stressful sellers market and eventually helping us put together the winning bid in a competitive offer situation. There were multiple times during the house search process that were difficult and frustrating and that's where David's years of experience, familiarity with the area, and ultimately good judgement really gave us an advantage. He helped us weigh our options and make smart decisions. David was always responsive to emails and punctual for showings, managing to optimize the number of houses we were able to see by nifty scheduling. David's zen-like calm seems odd for a real estate professional at first - you will soon adjust and realize this is the way forward.

Dave is very nice and very knowledgeable (both market and "this old house" type stuff.) His approach is very laid back and not at all high pressure. That is all good and worked for us since we took a very active role in every aspect of the process. The ONLY reason we gave him an 8 instead of a 10 is that some buyers may prefer a more directive/aggressive agent.

Dave did a great job helping us find our new home. He informed us about potential problems in homes we looked at, answered all our questions, and talked us through our fist buying process. He also set a good, competitive negotiating price. My only major criticism is that he didn't seem to like my husband very much. That's ok, I just wish I hadn't been able to tell! We got a great house at a great price, and had a relatively low-stress buying process. Thanks Dave!

We could not recommend David enough, or our experience with Redfin. David was knowledgeable on the industry and the area, responded very quickly to us and most importantly we felt he was on our side. He handled all of the negotiations with the sellers agent, and never once did we feel he was doing it to get the deal done, but rather he did what was in our best interest. From the beginning of the process to the very end, we felt very confident in David's abilities and trusted his input. We would without a doubt use David again and recommend him to anyone looking to purchase (or sell) a home.
David was excellent. He responded very quickly to all communications and was very helpful in our negotiations and strategy. I would highly recommend David.

Dave was an invaluable asset from the first house he showed us through our purchase of a house. He has a tremendous knowledge not just of the North Shore housing market but also was able to help us ask the right questions throughout the whole process.
David is great. I will definitely work with him and recommend him in future.

David is the consummate professional. We have gotten to know him well over the past year and he has been nothing but incredibly patient and remarkably knowledgable. The redfin model is fantastic for creating non-pushy agent-buyer relationships. David also knows practially every Coldwell Banker and @ property agents and their selling habits. He gave us great advice through the many ups and downs of multiple offers in a very desirable neighborhood. We'd work with him again and again!

David has the rare combination of experience, wisdom, and patience. He helped navigate our first purchase in the region and worked well with our style. We ran an independent search process and contacted David when we were ready to offer on two properties. His reaction time and well researched insight kept the process on track. I also think Redfin's business model kept his incentives well aligned with ours - his every action, from offer to close, was to further our objectives, not his own. This was not our first experience with Redfin, but our best by far. David was an integral part of this exceptional experience. We recommend him without reservation.

Dave had great insight and gave realistic feedback when looking at properties, which was extremely helpful, especially to those that don’t always know what to look for (novice buyers). There were times, however, that he seemed a bit impatient with some of our “novice” questions (such as seeking advice on how to negotiate a fair price for a home we were interested in). And while we reached a price on the home that we were willing to settle on, I didn’t feel like we “won” the negotiation or that Dave was a significant contributor to the final number. From an overall Redfin perspective, I felt the site was much more advanced compared to its competitors and the commission payback was a huge plus. The one item that was a concern as we went through the closing was that no one seemed to... Show More

I bought my house in North Shares area of Chicago in July. David Yocum at Redfin was my agent. I should have written this review long time ago. With three young kids in a new house, I had to push back certain non-urgent things. "Non-urgent" by no means implies Dave did a bad job to help me find my dream house. On the contrary, I could say many brilliant things about Dave, such as his great personality and absolute professionalism on what he is doing. He is always promptly scheduled the house tours and show up a couple minutes earlier. Many emails were exchanged at late nights and even when he was on vacation. With wonderful Redfin website, you can do many things by your own. But the asking price is always less transparent since every house is unique. Comp analysis can only do so much,... Show More

Let me preface this review by saying I'm a fastidious client, not easy to please. David was professional in his manner, responsive to emails even when on vacation, and is knowledgeable about construction. Dealing with him was easy and he never pressured me to buy. The points that I felt he wasn't strong were on pricing the property and negotiating with the seller. The bank appraisal came in 15K below the agreed upon price and was actually the price we started negotiating with the seller. I had originally wanted to start lower but was cautioned by David that it was too low. I think in this market, it's worth lowballing an offer; the worst that can happen is you will get a no. I feel David helped orchestrate a fair transaction for all parties, but I didn't feel I got the lowest/best... Show More

He's a true professional. He's sharp, astute, and knowledgeable, and he clearly knows the real estate business. He is also down-to-earth and can relate well to anyone. The only reason I did not rate him a "10" is due to the constraints of the Redfin model as applied to my particular (and somewhat unconventional) real estate issues.

After several tours we found a house and were ready to make an offer. Dave held our hand through the process and let us in on some of the tricks the sellers' agent tried to pull on us. In the end we got an amazing deal on the house of our dreams. In addition he helped us find a great mortgage broker who also worked very hard to get us a great rate. We tell everyone we know to use Redfin and Dave specifically if they are looking on the Northshore.

On a scale of 1-10 I would give David an 11. He is knowledgable about every aspect of the process from knowing what to look for in a home (and knowing what to look out for) all the way through the closing process (during which he stayed on top of the numerous details that needed attending to and made sure that everything went smoothly.) He is also patient. We looked for over a year with David and he never pressured us - in fact he encouraged us not to settle for something mediocre- and as a result we are extremely happy with our new home.

We are first buyers. During our buying process, David had been very patient and helpful. He had never push us and always totally understand us. We offered two homes. The first home was a dreaming house. During the inspection process, we found there was serious mold issue with the colonial home. David suggested us to stop inspection if we would not want the house. So, it saved us half inspection fee. The second home was a complicated one with tenant. During the whole buying process, David did a lot of work to make it get through. David tried to negotiate the price for us after inspection, ask seller to vacate the home on time. Sometimes the seller part did not answer his message or call on time, but he always tried to reach the best. Even he was out of the town, he was helping arrange... Show More

He was on standby during the showings to answer questions and point out pros and cons for us to consider (not just the obvious things).

As an agent, David is the best of both worlds. He is personable enough as to have made me feel as if I were home shopping with a friend, while at the same time very professional and experienced. I respect David a lot because he did not go for the quick sale. My husband and I were enthusiastic about a couple homes, and David thankfully pointed out a few downsides to these homes that would not have occured to my husband and me. There was a little miscommunication drama when we put in an offer on our house, and David stuck with us through the process and sorted everything out. The result is that we purchased a home we are absolutely thrilled about, and largely have David to thank for this. He is great!

Agent Response:
I'm sorry the clients feel this way. They were mistrustful of the seller's agent, especially given there were multiple offers which the other buyer originally won due to a higher offer. As a result, our clients felt they were treated unfairly, questioning if their offer was presented at all. I explained that I've had several years worth of experiences with the listing agent and felt I could vouch for her professionalism and honesty. I further explained to our clients that, if anything happened to the current agreement, she would most likely notify us. My clients seemed to have taken the defense of her honesty to mean I was actually taking her side, which was most certainly not the case. I'm sorry for any misunderstanding and we wish them the best of luck in their continued home search.Davis was a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive whwenever I contacted him and always provided a non biased opiononated anwser to all of my questions.
David is an awesome real estate agent. He is very committed and forthcoming. The best feature I liked about David is his straight talking no nonsense approach. I was a first time buyer and my deal was more complicated than either of us thought. But David stuck with me in the process to pull it through.

Dave is clearly very experienced and knowledgable about the market. We bought a 100+ year-old two-flat, and he was able to give us good insight into repairs and rehab needs of this type of house. He even referred us to a good contractor for rehab work. Dave was always responsive, and helped us through negotiations and an unusually long, complicated FHA203k (rehab) loan process.

Home buying is a very sentimental experience and one of the biggest decisions one makes in his/her life. With Dave's friendlier personality and the know how about the industry, all in all this was a pleasant ride from the beginning to end. We spent a long time looking and making a decision; Dave always patiently stood back giving us us time to think and act, never felt he wants to rush.... unlike other companies. Thank you Dave and Redfin for having an innovative business model. You not following the old school rushing the client and hoping to get paid methodology has allowed me to find the right place for my family.

Dave is a great guy. We've been searching for about one year before we purchased our first home. As first time home buyers, we've got a lot of great advices from Dave. He is very patient, sincere, knowledgeable, straightforward and very well organized. He also responded and resolved any issues promptly! We definitely are going to work with him again in the future and always going to recommend him to our family and friends. Thank you Dave.

He impressed us with his eye for detail and depth of knowledge from which he would think to ask questions we wouldn't have thought to ask. We grew to trust his opinion and often looked to him for what might be lurking beneath the surface. As first time home-buyers, he explained all the questions we had about the buying process and instilled confidence we would not have had otherwise. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the market.

I believe David has done a job for me that one else can without extraordinary patience and hard work. During the house search, I had to significantly lower my budget, I experienced several inspection failures and repair talk failures. It once seemed a mission impossible. It was David and Redfin team's extraordinary patience and hard work that got this long-lasting job done finally. Initially I went to Redfin for professional nice website and their big rebate. I'm happy and satisfied with their service even though there is no rebate due to my low purchase price. By the way, he is a very nice man to comfortably work with. All Redfin team members, from field agents to dispatchers, I worked with are too.

Dave's extensive experience afforded valuable insights throughout our home buying process. Moreover, his relaxed demeanor and dry humor made our home tours interesting and (gasp!) rather fun! The countless hours that we spent viewing home after home would have been much less interesting and educational, without Dave. We consider ourselves quite fortunate to have worked with him and can't recommend him enough. A+!

David did a great job walking us through the process and was very knowledgeable and helpful on all aspects of our purchase. My only reservation would be with the Redfin model in that David had not seen the home we were purchasing until after the price negotiations and also that he was very busy with a number of showings/transactions. I feel that these would be less of issues with full-service (and full-fee) traditional model agents.

My experience with RedFin was okay. I really liked the web site and the information it provides. The field agents showing the properties were also good. When it came time for the offer, it seemed like David was extremely business. However, he did a good job following. It also seemed a little impersonal since I had never met him before and he knew very little about the property I made the offer on. Receiving the rebate after the closing was great. I would suggest maybe including the field agents in the offer process a little more since they have more knowledge of the property.

David is both competent and helpful. My only small criticism is less of David and more of redfin in general. It is difficult to do showings on short notice with redfin. I realize that the model helps to keep down costs and increase the rebate. But, if I could have my cake and eat it too, I would like more availability of field agents of shorter notice.

Dave Yocum is a real star. He's the definitive go-to person for anyone looking for a new home. We are in our sixties and were first-time home buyers. Dave was so patient with us as we meandered through the process of deciding whether a house or condo would be our best choice. It took quite a while, but we finally found the perfect place for us and our lifestyle. Dave is a walking encycopedia of necessary resources. He provided us with lists of home inspectors names and financing sources to choose from, which made the closing process a lot easier. His rehab contacts then helped us adapt our new place to suit our needs. We couldn't be more pleased with the services he provided for us.
By touring open houses on my own I already knew more or less which properties I was interested in by the time I contacted Redfin. However I think the experience of re-touring my favorite properties with David was very helpful -- he pointed out a number of things that I had missed and helped me more objectively evaluate the properties. He also provided guidance on the home buying process in Illinois and provided useful referrals -- those were both very helpful as a first time home buyer. The whole home buying process was completed with minimal trouble, and there were no unexpected surprises. My only complaint was that I don't think he was as experienced with Redfin's process as some of their other agents may be (this will certainly improve) -- there was a little confusion at first, but...
