What do Clients Say?

Bought an OFF MARKET Single Family home in 2025 in Ashbrook- Clawson village, Charlotte, NC. We found David Strause through his listing of a beautiful townhome community in SouthPark, and knew right away that working with him to find our home was hands down the best choice we could have made. We cannot say enough good things about our experience working with David J. Strause. Even though we were relocating from just north of Charlotte, David’s deep knowledge of the Charlotte market and home values proved to be incredibly valuable. What truly set David apart was the depth of his local connections. From attorneys to contractors, inspectors, and more—David brought in top-tier professionals at every stage, making the process smooth and stress-free. It’s clear he has a long-standing history in Charlotte real estate, and that insight was invaluable to us. David was in our corner every step of the way—especially when it came to resolving our punch list before closing. He advocated for us with integrity, professionalism, and care. We’re so grateful we had David on our side and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a real estate pro in Charlotte.

Sold a Single Family home in 2025 in Midland, NC. Having David Strause sell our home was absolutely the best decision my wife and I could have made. From promoting the home with professional videos to marketing strategy, he handled everything with a sense of urgency and precision. This guy is the real deal. We never felt like we were just another listing. If we called, he picked up or called us back right away. You'll find David to be super-responsive and right there with you every step of the way. He offered great guidance during the negotiation phase and was very insightful. We were concerned about whether we would be able to sell our home in time, because I had a job offer and needed to move. David came through for us, and we couldn't be happier. Need a realtor? David is your guy.

Sold a Townhouse home in 2025 in Providence crossing, Charlotte, NC. Entrusting my townhome to David was the smartest move I’ve made. He orchestrated a cinematic marketing rollout—architectural photography, lifestyle video, and targeted digital placements—that showcased the property’s sophistication. The property received a strong offer shortly afterwards, and we closed while competing homes sat dormant. His real-time updates and strategic advice during due-diligence negotiations turned a complex sale into a hassle free victory, even closing on my exact timeline! I wouldn't consider using anyone but David to sell my property in the future.
