Dave helped us sell our cabin in MiWuk. We are out of town owners and needed an agent who is knowledgeable of the area and able to market our property effectively. We were not disappointed. We have much experience in real estate and thought that Dave presented a good market analysis and marketing plan. He then coordinated the preparation of the cabin for sale, that included the entire clean up of the property, inside and out, while keeping us apprised of his progress. His wife, Kebra, has an excellent eye of staging the property, cleverly highlighting its best features in style and simplicity. His price for cleanup and all preparation was fair. His positive and easy-going attitude was reassuring. The cabin had multiple offers within a week of listing, indicating that his pricing was on target. He went through the list of prospective buyers with us. We have had bad experiences in previous transactions when selling agents tried to push through a quick sale by ridiculous underpricing tactics. Anything will sell fast if priced low enough. This did not happen with Dave. We had confidence that he negotiated in good faith for the best price possible while being realistic. We highly recommend Dave, especially to out of town owners. He handled the whole selling process with impressive shrewdness and professionalism. H. C MiWuk

star star star star star Great Agent in Sonora area Dave and as well as Kebra have a great personality and easy to talk to. They are active listeners and this can ease up your negotiations process. Dave was instrumental in my decision making, although he did not have all the answers, but he did his best to enable me with what he can find or fill in with other leads. I always ended up with the right information. Dave knows a lot of people that respect their relationship with him, so in a few instances I had no trouble to get second opinion on my concerns thru his lead and associates in no time! Ed P Sonora

I felt like I was his priority Dave Stapp helped us buying and selling our house. In both situations we felt really supported and like we were his priority. Part of our business was done abroad and Dave was always available despite our time difference. We certainly recommend Dave as a very professional and skilled agent.

Hi Dave and Kebra, Now that our transaction is complete, we’d like to take a moment and thank you both for navigating an extremely complex and at times emotionally difficult, sale. Almost a year ago, we first casually spoke about leaving our home of 25 years. Kebra pointed out that our house “needs a family”, rather than the empty nesters we have become. That one sentence resonated and motivated us to begin needed repairs, enter into the listing process and follow the staging guidance Kebra gave. The significance of the quality of the listing photos and aerial drone footage, set to music made all the difference in bringing prospective buyers to view the property. You both deserve credit for masterful marketing! Once there were some interested Buyers, your availability to offer them multiple showings, answer endless questions in marathon phone sessions and seemingly inexhaustible energy directed at moving them to make an offer were astonishing to say the least. “The devil is always in the details.” This situation validated that maxim perfectly! Dave, your negotiating skills were far beyond any we’ve ever seen before. In fact, you ended up being a psychological counselor to both parties to keep the deal alive! There is no doubt in our minds, that in the hands of a less experienced, less well grounded, less motivated or less implacable, calm spirit, this transaction would have crashed on the rocks with all involved simply saying: “It wasn’t meant to be.” We cannot even imagine how many hours or personal dollars you’ve invested in arranging inspections, repair estimates for the Buyers, even buying padlocks for them, to satisfy a cosmos of demands and insecurities regarding the purchase. Once done, you STILL showed up! You and Kebra hosted a yard sale to help us reduce the impact of the move, even brought boxes for us to pack! Often, a business motto or slogan rings hollow; a far cry from what is actually experienced by clients. In this case, your phrase “suited to serve” is perfectly defined by the relentless, selfless and much appreciated dedication to actual service. Thanks for all we’ve seen you do for us and handling so many things, about which we’ll never know. Mike and Laurie M Sonora

The Best Realtor Team in Tuolumne County Dave, Kebra, and Ian Stapp are the best Real Estate professionals in the county. We received a full price offer the first day on the market and sold it two days later for over asking. This didn't happen by accident. Kebra spent many hours helping us prepare the house to make it show perfect. She hired a photographer whose pictures put it on display for people to see from a distance which was a major factor in the buyers decision to come over 100 miles to see it and ultimately make an offer over asking. Dave's years of experience and understanding of the market helped us determine the correct price. He also knows how to present the house in the right market area for the best exposure to potential buyers. Ian conducted the open house and provided information about all the features the house had to offer. The Stapp team communicated the status of the sale throughout the entire process and arranged for the inspections in a timely manner. The entire process was so stress free because of the professional way we were treated. They have a personal touch that makes you feel like you are part of the family. They always took the time to answer all our questions until the final close. They absolutely have to be the best real estate team in the county. They are truly awesome professionals.
