DAVID WEIL: an EXPERT REALTOR with SEASONED SUCCESS By Kimberly Gomes
D
avid Weil, a highly regarded Mid-Peninsula realtor since 2003, ranks within the top 5% of Silicon Valley realtors. His sound referral-based business revolves around the basic philosophy of representing his clients with honesty and integrity. This mantra has proven successful time and again, enabling him to sell $215 million of residential real estate throughout the entire Mid-Peninsula, including Menlo Park, Atherton, Woodside, and Portola Valley. “My continued success is based in large part on referrals. Once clients saw my sincere passion for helping them sell their homes or finding them their dream homes, they wanted their friends and family to have similar experiences,” says David. His emphasis on trust and hard work began long before his days in real estate. Before entering the business, the Bay Area native ran his own printing business and was also in the construction business for 10 years before that. Both of these experiences help him view each property from a builder’s perspective with a fine-tuned eye towards maximizing investment, informing both buyers and sellers of key issues that can significantly impact a sale. “Because of my construction background I can walk through homes with clients and see things only a builder would see,” David says. “Is the home structurally sound? Are the fundamentals in good condition? Is there dry rot? Being able to look through disclosures and other reports to understand the mechanical aspects is very helpful to my clients.” Beyond his background, David brings a detail-oriented eye to the entire home buying and selling process. His passion for prepping properties is imperative in today’s low-inventory market, and with years of marketing savvy, David knows how to optimally present a listing. An impressive property presentation will drive multiple offers and ultimately necessitates exceptional negotiation skills to maximize the final sale price. David’s stellar negotiating expertise puts his clients in the driver’s seat when it matters. On the buyers’ side, David knows how difficult it is to find a property in today’s aggressive market. His relentless work ethic and willingness to scour the Mid-Peninsula for potential listing opportunities works in his clients’ favor. “I leave no stone unturned, and that’s really important in this market. There’s nothing that I won’t do to find properties for my clients, whether it’s letter writing, knocking on doors, pulling up targeted lists, or leveraging cultivated relationships with agents up and down the Peninsula,” says David. David also enjoys detailed knowledge of various micro-markets throughout the region. He grew up in Montclair/Oakland Hills, lived in San Francisco,
and raised his family in Burlingame before moving to Menlo Park, where he currently resides. While he primarily serves Menlo Park, Atherton, Woodside, Portola Valley, Palo Alto, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills Redwood City and San Carlos his first-hand insight on neighboring cities gives buyers and sellers a broader perspective of what the Bay Area has to offer. Heavily involved in the community, David volunteers with Las Lomitas Education Foundation, and will also serve on the Menlo Park Atherton Education Foundation next year. He also sits on the board of Adolescent Counseling Services (ACS), which provides on- and off-site counseling services to young people and their families, substance abuse treatment, community education, and LGBTQQ counseling throughout Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. During his free time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and children. An active father, he has coached his daughters’ soccer teams for the last seven years and loves traveling, golfing, biking, and skiing.
