Hobbies

With over 15 years in rural/semi-rural real estate, and over 850 transaction sides completed, breadth of knowledge and growth has been my focus. In pure numbers, I've closed more residential transactions than any other type of transaction. But I've closed more luxury, vacant land, commercial, commercial vacant land, farms, condotels, and more compared to the peer group. And I bring on experienced additional agents for any client that desires additional strengths to be added to the team.

Personal Profile

I have been a real estate manager/consultant for over 15 years. I started working with relocating and military families in my first months in the business and never stopped! I bring 20 years of experience in marketing, project management, and construction management to all of my clients and their important transactions. Selling and managing properties in a seven-county rural and metro area, I have averaged over 60 closed transaction sides per year the last 10 years. As a Regional Team Leader for Century 21 Affiliated, I work closely with other RELO-trained agents and the entire agent team to make sure the Relocating buyer's or seller's needs are met. I am constantly pursuing best-practice sharing within the company and between agents, and looking for ways to make the real estate transaction experience seamless and predictable for sellers and buyers. I make every effort to ensure that the lenders involved in transactions can match the loan program to the property (with its conditions), and that lenders can meet deadlines so crucial to the buyer or seller, who is depending on the timely completion of a relocation plan. Radical honesty, and attention to what's important, are the hallmarks of my transaction efforts. I look forward to serving you!

    I am grateful for the professional manner in which Dave handled the details of the listing contract, buyer contact, closing details and his overall performance during the sale negotiations.
  • Buyer review
    David Vander Schaaf as my Buyer's Agent, worked to fully comprehend what I needed in a home and there were many allergy and personal preference requirements. David assisted me diligently to pursue the successful purchase of the best home for me that I could be well satisfied with and was a good fit. He always made room on his very busy schedule to accommodate my time frames to view homes in a variety of locations for almost a year in pursuit. David is an outstanding Buyer's Agent...very knowledgeable about physical areas and the research on specific homes, and providing guidance on negotiating with sometimes a difficult Seller; as well as proving his trustworthiness and making one feel he is really working on the Buyer's behalf. I would highly recommend David Vander Schaaf to any person who would prefer a professional and knowledgeable real estate agent and Buyer's Agent.
  • Buyer review
    David Vander Schaaf was very helpful in the home buying process. He constantly kept in contact with us. And even had a chance to get to know my family. He would work many late nights sending me documents and even rushing things to me when we would run into problems. He was very understanding of what my husband and i could afford and got us in to look and home ls in a hurry. He was very upfront on things especially since we were going for an fha loan. He would do his best to make sure that the homes would qualify before we even waisted out time checking into them. David would keep us informed every turn in the process and made it seam effortless. He worked very hard for me and my growing family it was nice to see his passion and dedication for what he does. We had a rocky road finding a home but he was up for the challenge sometimes answering my text messages and emails in the middle of the night since I work night shift. I would recommend David to anyone his honesty and trustworthiness is amazing as well as how accessible he was. It was nice to have a guy like that in out corner. I hope he goes far in his career. I can't see a reason why he wouldn't.
  • Seller review
    We appreciated working with David on the Sale of our home. He offered us advice, but when we didn't fully take his advice he willingly and agreeably let us proceed according to our wishes. The sale of our home was somewhat complicated and he carefully explained to us what we could expect and he was very accurate in those predictions thus helping us along in the process.
