“I have known Mr. Dave Dornbos as a Real Estate colleague for more than 10 years. Last year I had the pleasure of working with him as a partner on a difficult listing I had, selling a piece of commercial property in Lakewood, Colorado. He was exceptional in understanding the nuances of the client and his needs after the current bank refused to renew the loan. His ability to assess the impending banking/lending crisis was vital in getting the client to understand the potential for losing his building and all of his equity if he did not help us get this project sold. Dave’s insight and preparation of different financial options helped this client come to an acceptance of where he was in the market and were factors that made this sale transaction come together.
Dave’s building background with the USPS and other clients are not generally found in a commercial broker’s resume. He brings a unique insight to most any RE transaction, commercial or residential with this background. Recognizing what can or needs to be done regarding additions, repairs, conversions or scrapes assists in almost any acquisition or sale with which one might be involved.
Dave’s calm approach to helping a client fully understand his options or lack of options are imperative as we navigate the ever changing market place, interest rate and banking environment. Many Lenders and Bankers are not making the loans they used to, no matter the interest rate a client might be willing to pay. Dave knows and understands this banking/lending arena better than most. He is an asset navigating the choppy waters of lending for any client he might decide to work with today.
Finally, I found Dave has a good sense of humor, is tenacious and insightful, takes his work very seriously but does not take himself too seriously, so has an ability to make himself easy to work with in about any situation. I had no regrets sharing my listing with Dave. He worked every bit as hard as I did to get this client to the closing table. There were a number of unforeseen things pop up with the buyer, seller, banking and inspection. We addressed them as they came up and Dave was instrumental in carrying the ball anytime necessary. We closed the sale just before the bank was starting Foreclosure which would have had serious long-term consequences for the client. I would happily collaborate with Dave Dornbos again.” Don Kramer
