I have another overdue review for one of the Dave Clark team staff members. (I used Dave Clark Team to buy and sell a total of 3 properties in the past two years.) Hannah was an amazing agent who helped me purchase a three bedroom condo during January of this year She was extremely efficient working with the seller's agent. She negotiated a $10K reduction in the selling price for me on top of the price which had been reduced. After escrow closed, Hannah helped me locate a few good contractors and vendors for some of the renovation needs I wanted in my new property. Hannah responds well whenever I ask her for help and on the day I moved into new apartment, she even sent me a congratulatory phone call. Thank you Hannha, you are wonderful! read more

Elena Clark gave us excellent advice. She listened to us and understood us and communicated very well throughout the process. We're glad we chose to trust her with the sale of our house and we highly recommend her. read more

We recently worked with Elena Clark and Avinika Scott in the selling of our home. We had an incredibly positive experience. They were friendly and fun to work with, very engaged, extremely supportive, highly responsive, and seamlessly managed all of the many details in both the quality renovations done to the house but also through the selling process. Their marketing reach is top notch and the quality of their marketing materials is what you would expect with a much more expensive home than ours. We would not hesitate to work again with Elena, Avinika, and the entire Dave Clark Team if we ever have the opportunity to do so. read more

Dave Clark lives up to the hype. He has nurtured and grown this amazing reputation in the Bay Area as one of the very best realtors in Silicon Valley. He delivered every step of the way! We are endlessly grateful for the time Dave Clark and his team put into helping us sell our home. They took on the hard work and stress that comes with selling a home. They go above and beyond for their clients and become your own personal assistants helping to get the job done. They brought in a fabulous photographer and videographer to showcase the home. They assisted with movers, painters, and gardeners making the process seamless. Having a competent, caring and knowledgeable realtor took the stress out of the entire process. If you are looking for a realtor to sell your home and want the best, Dave Clark is the best of the best. Take it from this high maintenance gal, this is the team you want! read more

We highly recommend working with Elena. She told us up front that everything was our decision but she would take care of it all. We had been fixing up the house ourselves working with several individuals and struggling to contact people and set up a schedule for floors, paint etc. Once Elena and her team stepped in, they indeed did take care of everything and it went so quickly. I didn't think that the house would ever look that amazing, and then when it went on the market it sold quickly and for way over our listing price. It was a great experience and I strongly recommend working with the Dave Clark team! read more

We were looking to buy a home and then sell our current home. During our hunt to purchase, we were interested in a home that was beautifully staged and made an offer but did not win. As our search continued, we came across several homes staged similarly beautifully to the previous one we bid on. Turns out, these homes were all listed by the Dave Clark team! Since we were also searching for a listing agent to help us sell our current home, we decided to reach out to them. Well, listings by the Dave Clark team are prevalent in the South Bay Area for a reason! Their team is very professional, communicative, and knowledgeable, making the selling process very simple. We could trust that we were in good hands, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell a home stress-free. read more

Elena Clark is one of the most professional realtors I've ever met. I've bought and sold several properties on the East Coast but when it came time to sell my fathers house in Sunnyvale, I found Elena through yelp with her great reviews and I can attest that her services match the reviews. She came over to the house that I just had remodeled fully prepared with a detailed market analysis that was on track with my expectations. Her team has additional services that I couldn't get to in my renovation, including landscaping, painting, and a bunch of little touches that a realtor would know best for marketing. I asked her her opinion on the pricing and her analysis was very thorough as she is from the area and knows it for entire life. She managed the process the timing, communications showings, and the closing everything beautifully, I know my father approved with how the sale of his house went. 5/5 all day long. read more

The best realtor Elena Clark! She handled the process of listing my house to closing with the utmost respect, professional service and kindness. The entire team at Dave Clark Realty that provided the painting, landscaping, cleaning and contractor services went above and beyond. Everything was done with a goal to present the house at the best possible light and done with a smile. I was truly blessed to have Elena and Janet to guide me through the process and encourage me when the thoughts of packing up the house seems hopeless. The house got over 15 offers, over 270 people for open house! I got my asking price and then some! Elena, you are the absolute best!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! read more

The Dave Clark Team is simply superb! They take great care of their clients with transparent communication, detailed help in every step of complex real estate buying/selling process, and regular follow-ups. Special shout out to Jennifer 'JJ' (real-estate agent) & Janet (project co-ordinator) for taking such great care of our needs. Thank you to the entire Dave Clark team :) read more

Working with the Dave Clark team has been amazing! Their professionalism, care, and knowledge of the area and real estate best practices shone through from the very first meeting to the final sale. We decided to use their renovation team to bring the house up-to-date for sale. The work was done on time, on budget, and with excellent results. Special shout out to Eleana and Joanne for their attention to detail and ensuring that all our expectations were exceeded. I would recommend The Dave Clark Team to anyone wanting to sell a home in the Sunnyvale area. read more

It's hard to put into words the gratitude we'd like to express to Elena and the whole Dave Clark team. Before selling our home, we had lots of reservations, anxiety, and sleepless nights. Is it a good time? Can we get as much as we need? What about the repairs? What if it doesn't sell? And most importantly, how do we find someone who understands us? Luckily, after lots of interviews with other top Realtors, we found Elena and the Dave Clark Team. I placed "TEAM" in all caps because Elena and Joanna made our journey as painless as possible. Any questions we had were always immediately addressed; they always listened to our input, and we always felt like we were part of the process and the team. Their whole team was laser-focused and on task. Joanna ran the project timeline efficiently without any issues, pointing out potential pros, cons, and, most importantly, solutions (this was obviously not her first rodeo). And the best part was that it didn't cost us more; in fact, it cost us less. In the long run, they positioned us at the front of the pack in record time, they got us more money, and we were in contract after multiple offers in only a few days. We can't thank or give the whole Dave Clark team enough respect and praise. We only wish we had more houses to sell because if we did, we would only trust the Dave Clark Team to handle the job. Forever grateful Duane and Susan read more

Elena was a delight to work with. She answered all questions and provided assistance whenever needed with thoughtfulness and good humor. Highly recommend her services. read more

The Dave Clark team are some of the best people in the business. I've known them since I was a teenager and that type of decades reliability is uncommon without amazing people. 11/10 would reccomend read more

Elena Clark did an outstanding job and was a pleasure to work with to sell our house in the least amount of time and with multiple offers in Sunnyvale, CA. Her knowledge of the market area and industry made it beneficial in marketing our house to its full potential. She was friendly, always with a smile, and was responsive to answer any questions we had. She made recommendations on how to make minor improvements to our house without pressuring us. Her team of contractors did an amazing job. Elena and her team (Avinika) were instrumental in keeping us updated on the progress of our home during the staging and showing process. We will be forever grateful to Elena Clark and the Dave Clark team; and we recommend her highly if you are looking to sell your house!!! read more

There is a good reason The Dave Clark Team is the top real estate team in Sunnyvale. We entered the house selling arena with some reservations after owning our home in Sunnyvale for almost 30 years and not having any recent experience with the process. We reached out to Dave and he and his team prepared a comprehensive package with information about the current market, step-by-step outline of the process, and then personally reviewed it with us. His warm engaging personality and extensive real estate experience made it easy to partner with him in developing the sales strategy for our home. Once we decided on the best strategy, Dave had his team of professionals at the ready (painters, handyman, landscape, etc.) to quickly get the home ready for sale. Elena, his superstar Ops lead, coordinates with all of the contractors to estimate the scope of work and obtain bids. They are also perfectly fine with the home owner getting other bids and going with them if they prefer to do so! Once we went to market, Dave's team beautifully staged the home and posted high-end videos and photos on all the real estate web sites to ensure our home got maximum viewing and the best opportunity to get top dollar. At the end of the day, their attention to detail, professionalism and subject matter expertise paid big dividends with our house getting a record sale for our floor plan in Sunnyvale (Sold in days.... substantially over asking price, predominantly due to his sales strategy he recommended). Dave and Elena were extremely fun to work with throughout the entire process and they met and exceeded ALL of our expectations along the way. None better in the business....We are forever grateful to them and we highly recommend them if you are in the market for a top-notch Real Estate Team to sell your house. read more

I never pass up a free meal. Flyer on my door says house three doors down having an open house. For neighbors Thursday 530pm-730pm. Refreshments and appetizers will be served. Only have to ask once! 6pm Thursday, rush home from tennis, and jump in the bathwater my wife just used. Can't go to a house party smelling up the place! Walk to the party place, with a big sign on the outside, announcing the event. In the driveway is an expensive late model black Lexus sedan backed in. Some poor junior employee had to unload half a dozen trays of hot food and go up 15 stairs through the front door. But, hey got to have a car to impress when you're a real estate agent! At the front door, hospital slip ons for guests arriving, so dirt from shoes don't mar the light gray carpets. I take off my shoes, and walk in my dark dress socks. Never wear white socks, or socks with holes in them when visiting an open house! Tall 30ish dude in dress shirt, dress pants, leather shoes, hair immaculately combed back appears -got to be the junior real estate agent stuck at an open house on a weekday evening. But dressed to impress, at least to the neighbors. Agent's name is Ronnie Jenkins, with an English accent, despite being in the USA for the past 22 years, representing Dave Clark Realtors. Has a great food setup with half a dozen trays of bbq food, including pulled pork, shredded beef, macaroni cheese, potato salad, mashed potatoes, pickles. bread buns, and apple juice. Two cases of bottled water. I help myself, while Ronnie answering questions from other neighbors about the property. I've lived in the neighborhood since 1988, but most of the neighbors I don't know. Place is already advertised on Zillow, with the asking price, and a dozen pictures of the insides of the house provided by Dave Clark. Now don't go jumping on the bed or sofa, as everything is prop furniture, designed to be lightweight and attractive in appearance only. Probably no springs in that bed or sofa. Ronnie is friendly and very approachable, with a warm disposition, a guy you could drink a beer with around the table, although I don't drink. He's got an honest look, no beard nor mustache, which is very important in real estate buying and selling. Easy to remember the realtor as Dave Clark 5 rock group from 1965 England, right country, but that was before Ronnie's time! This house is one of 9 attached 3 story townhouses, all identical in design, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 2459 square feet excluding 2 car garage, front and back patio, all built in 1988. I'm one of three original owners. Flyers and multiple pictures on Zillow describe the property and the asking price -$1,468,000 for a 30 year old townhouse! Not too many guests tonight, but Ronnie and I have a deep conversation on the pros and cons of the place, of having to replace the original front stairs, water heater, roof tiles, backyard fences, backyard wooden patio, kitchen counters, and front tile patio over the garage. You should never buy a house with a external patio over a room or garage! We discuss ideas about the current real estate market, the ramifications of the $10,000 cap on property taxes, and the reduction in maximum mortgage loan interest deduction from $1,000,000 to $500,000 loans. Ronnie reveals that 60% of their buyers in the Silicon Valley are Indians, and 30% foreign Chinese, with 10% others. He expects multiple bids for this house over the asking price, and to sell for $1.7 million . Open house is to spread the word to friends of neighbors, and see if anyone in the neighborhood is selling. And if you are selling, realize that you or your children can never afford to come back to the Silicon Valley, with the highest prices of any metropolitan area. Now if it was for buyers, he would have had Indian and Chinese food to eat! I check out the kitchen and notice right away that the tile counters have been replaced with granite counters, and that all the built in appliances have recently been changed. Don't like the idea of built in appliances like stoves and microwaves, as they become obsolete so quickly and are much more expensive to replace than stand alone appliances. Basement floor is of tile, replacing the original carpets, as this area below ground level and vulnerable to flooding from leaking pipes in the water heater, and flooding from leaf clogged drains outside. 7:30pm comes and Ronnie asks me if I want to take all the trays of food home. Well there is only two of us, and we will be eating this stuff everyday until 2018. He says DC uses the same caterer, and he's been eating the same stuff for every open house! I fill up one tray and take it home, while he locks up the place. Go to the open door, and nobody has stolen my brand new $100 Hoka 4 Bondi running shoes - a true test of a safe neighborhood! read more

We recently sold our Sunnyvale home using the Dave Clark Team. To say we were pleased is low praise for what we experienced. The team was magnificent! They anticipated our every need. Elena Clark was an enthusiastic leader of the team who was immediately available for everything we needed. Avinika, their Project Manager stopped or called by frequently to check on the progress of the repairs. Fernando, the contractor had an impressive skillset and oversaw all repairs. He often went out of his way to see that repairs were done appropriately. The landscapers left our yard looking stellar. The housecleaners did an amazing job of cleaning. The stagers did a most impressive job of beautifying the house. We heartily endorse anyone's choice of this team. You could not ask for a better team to sell your home. read more

I bought and sold a home with Dave Clark and Troy Bambino team and all I can say is WOW. Their entire team is a pleasure to work with and they take the stress out of the entire process. They have been doing this a long time and they know exactly what needs to be done to prepare a house to be sold for top dollar without spending too much money. When making a purchase they fully understand the market in each neighborhood and how to determine the correct price to be offered. My wife and I never felt the stress that our friends experienced when selling their house. Once in escrow, Kim took over managing all the paper work and kept me appraised of everything that was going on. My phone calls were answered or my calls were returned promptly. Working with a team that has been in the South Bay for over 20 years makes a big difference. read more

Dave Clark has sold two of our homes within the last two years. One home in Sunnyvale and recently in Cupertino. They have gone above and beyond with our requests. They are very attentive and gives you the best possible outcome with their expert knowledge of the area. When it's time to sell our next home I'll be calling on Dave's team to sell that home too. read more

Dave Clark and Troy Bambino. Remember those names. You will want to buy or sell a home or two with them. And recommend them to your best friends. My husband is an "everything-will-work-out" kind of guy and I'm the polar opposite. I see mountains, not molehills, catastrophes, all manner of mayhem, but not this time. We left everything in their hands and all went faster and easier than expected. They were very reassuring, which I needed, and so pleasant to work with. Always there to answer all our questions and solve our problems. Our house sold quickly and painlessly. We are not forgetting Kim, who was sweet, friendly and very efficient and knowledgeable. We thank them all! read more

We had not sold a home for 28 years and were in need of a solid pro to assist. We interviewed several local realtors and the decision was an easy one in choosing the Dave Clark team. Tony and Kim were fantastic to work with, helping make the entire process painless. They were professional, patient and understanding, always ready to answer our questions and offer guidance. Troy was even able to refer us to an excellent realtor working in the area we are moving to. If you're thinking of selling or buying a home do yourself a favor and give The Dave Clark team a call, you won't regret it. read more

I can't say enough about how great my experience working with the Dave Clark Team has been. I put my home up for sale and was on a very tight timeline to get it done - the team came through in every way possible; from needed repairs and updates to staging and marketing - it couldn't have been done better. The teams they work with are just as amazing as they are (painters, home repairs, staging company, EVERYONE). My home sold in record time for an excellent price. I felt like I was working with friends, they honestly care about their clients and make themselves available night and day to answer questions and calm nervous clients. I highly recommend them and can say they honestly deserve all the high praise they receive. I'm eternally grateful to each and every one of them for helping make a family dream come true. read more

Troy was so helpful when I was selling my home in Sunnyvale. I had mixed feelings selling my childhood home, but he made the process very easy. They held open houses every weekend until the house sold and when it did, everything went very smoothly. This has allowed me to buy a vacation condo by my son and daughter in law in Maui Hawaii! Thanks again to the Dave Clark Team for their great expertise selling homes! Bonnie Bardenhagen read more

Dave Clark and his team did everything they could to make selling our house as stress free as possible. From beginning to end, they were nothing but professional and extremely helpful. Special thanks go to Dave and Elena, 5 stars all the way. Thank you so much! read more

It was our pleasure to sell our house with the Dave Clark team. Our realtor Troy Bambino and Project Director Kim Glass were both really nice and professional to work with. Troy's enormous experience in Sunnyvale / Santa Clara market is clearly visible as he recommended exactly what needs to be fixed or upgraded to sell the house, as compared to other realtors we spoke to who wanted us to change lot more things. Kim was really nice, friendly and kind and was always there for us. Best part was their flexibility during Covid to work around us to get everything done and get the house sold very quickly in a smooth transaction, with a rent back which Troy was super confident all along. I highly recommend Troy and Kim to anyone who wants to sell to their house in this region. read more

Just completed my THIRD real estate transaction with The Dave Clark Team. Troy Bambino handled everything with the highest degree of professionalism. He got the job done, as he always does, with great consideration of all the details. He managed a very successful transaction & followup. Shout-out also to Joanne from that office, she is amazing! Three time now, this team has not let me down! read more

Our experience with the Dave Clark Team was outstanding. Troy Bambino met with us right away and displayed his deep understanding of the specific market for our neighborhood...and was able to correct our misperceptions on the best months to sell. It moved up our timeline dramatically but was the right decision as the market was hot and we received multiple offers for well over asking price. He also really helped us decide what we should update but only suggested what was worth the money to bringing in more offers. Kim Glass managed the contractors flawlessly and kept things on our aggressive schedule (even when we had unexpected issues). All of their work was even more impressive since I was out of state selling the house for my dad's estate. I would highly recommend them! read more

We have worked with Troy Bambino at Dave Clark Realty to sell two homes and buy two homes over the last 4 years. It is a great team and I highly recommend Troy in particular. Here are just a few of the reasons: - WARM, KIND, PROFESSIONAL: First and foremost, Troy and everyone on the Dave Clark Team are warm, kind, and always professional. As a client, you really feel supported by the whole team, though, for us, Troy was the point person. - RESPONSIVE: Troy was available and responsive to all our needs always--doing everything with a smile on his face and in his voice. - STRESS REDUCERS: Whenever potential problems came up, Troy had solutions. For example, the buyers of one house did not want the leftover paint cans of the paint used on the house or orange pickers left in the garage (we honestly thought they'd want those!!). Troy had someone dispose of them when we were too busy to do so ourselves. That is only one of MANY examples of how the team came through for us in a pinch. - GENEROUS: We really liked a particular house and the neighborhood school. However, we were worried about potential redistricting. Troy signed a document saying if our kids could not go to the neighborhood school b/c of redistricting, he'd sell the house for us for free! The redistricting never came about, but Troy really gave us some piece-of-mind with that offer. - KNOWLEDGEABLE: Troy, Joann, and other staff are knowledgeable and can actually explain the many pesky forms you have to sign when buying/selling a house (we used other realtors in the past who could not). - EFFECTIVE AS A SELLER AGENT: As a seller, we initially chose to go with Dave Clark because (pre-COVID), because their open houses were always jam-packed and the houses wen for top-dollar. They have an insane amount of experience and knowledge with the South Bay housing market. They know what needs to be done to get top dollar. Troy is a great salesman (in a good way)! We have been very pleased about the prices we got for our homes. - EFFECTIVE AS A BUYER AGENT: As a buyer agent, Troy knows the market, knows what price to bid, and knows how to talk to other agents. The Dave Clark Team also sells an insane number of houses, so if you like one, making bidding on it transparent. (If you've tried to put an offer on a home recently, you know how important that is!!!) He won't force you, but always asks, 'are you sure? is your partner sure?' He will get you a home you want in your price range! - STRONG PARTNERS: They have a whole team of people who know what need to be done to prep your house for sale - from handymen to contractors to gardeners to stagers. You do not need to worry about anything. All the prices for the work are reasonable and the Dave Clark team handles all the scheduling/logistics. However, Troy never pushes or forces you to do any work. He asks or gives options, letting you know the honest risks/benefits of each. We paid for quite a few upgrades for one house we sold and none for the other house. Both houses went for top dollar. To conclude, if you are buying/selling in the South Bay, I strongly recommend Troy Bambino and the Dave Clark Team. read more

We have just completed a transaction with Dave and Elena Clark (and their team). The sale and exchange of our rental property was very tricky. We couldn't have asked for a more professional, communicative, honest and knowledgeable team of Realtors. Dave and Elena helped us every step of the way, from 'right on' pricing, handling inspections, recommendations for tradesmen, and just holding our hands when necessary. We highly recommend them. read more

I can't say enough about Troy and Elena! They made our selling experience pleasant. No matter what, they were nothing but professional. We had a late night meeting with Troy and Elena and even though we knew that they had had a very long day, they took their time and never once made us feel that we weren't the most important part of their day. TRUE PROFESSIONALS! read more

Dave and his team were absolutely amazing to work with. They made the entire process of selling my home seamless. Great communication and follow through. They are an experienced,professional and caring team . I highly recommend them! read more
