We started our house hunting on the central west coast of Florida roughly 2 years ago, David and his team came highly recommended from close friends who worked with David's team to purchase their home a year prior. David and Ingrid went through the ringer with us, they were extremely patient and completely engaged in finding our home, it felt like doing business with long time friends, and let me reiterate, we were not easy clients. We started looking in Apollo Beach, then all around the ICW and ended up in Sarasota about 2 years later. Additionally, at closing some goofy stuff happened with the wire transfer at the last minute that could've held up closing and they jumped right in to help with late night phone calls and emails to get us to the finish line on our closing, on time! I couldn't have asked for a better experience with them, great people, they know their stuff and they were on the ride with us no matter what, most relators would've cut bait a long time ago.

We used David and Dawn in the purchase of our house and they understood our needs from the moment we met, they gave excellent advice with their immense knowledge of the areas and prices. The process was perfect and what an amazing service. Fast forward a year and our homeland came calling and a move back to the UK was underway. David and Carolyn came to our rescue, once again the market insight and correct pricing meant that we sold our home with the first viewing, again talk about giving the correct advice to maximise the value. I cannot recommend “The Burgess Team” highly enough, in fact I have done so already to a friend of mine who moved to the area. Another satisfied customer who will use and recommend them to all.

It was a pleasure working with Dawn Raymond and she did an awesome job taking care of our needs during our home purchase. She was great to work with through the entire process, and as out of state buyers we relied heavily on Dawn and she delivered every step of the way!
The Greenall Family
We moved from Georgia so needed a reliable agent who understood our specific needs, who was willing to listen to our requirements and was willing to go the extra mile and beyond so that we found our "perfect" house. We were extremely lucky to find Dawn who did the above and more. If we could award more than 5 stars we would. Over the years we have moved around the country and met useless agents, OK agents but Dawn is one of the best!

We started working with David back in Oct 2021, when we were hunting for a new-build community to settle in. He has been there for us since day one with community selection, build progress, closing, and even through our closing (February 2023) ensuring that our warranty items are being addressed! David was excellent with communication and often took the initiative to provide us progress photos and videos of our build, which we really appreciated as we were out of state. He would even reach out to the builder and warranty department to get information when we were struggling to get updates (building during COVID had many struggles). David was so pleasant to work with and it genuinely felt like we were working with a life-long family friend! We would absolutely recommend David for his communication, knowledge, experience, and commitment to his customers - you won't be disappointed! In fact, we continue to recommend him to our friends and family and love that their experiences have been just as great as ours. Thank you for everything, David, we can't express our gratitude enough!!

David and his team are great. He was very helpful during the build process especially since we were not living in state. David even sent us pictures and videos of the build progress along the way. His experience in seeing some common issues toward the end of the build process was invaluable. Lastly, the free third party home inspector his company provided really saved the day on a couple of things. The inspector even checked the roof and the crawl space for issues.

Love my new home! Thanks to David Burgess my realtor the process was smooth and enjoyable. David is very knowledgeable and has a network of resources that are important to a successful home buying experience. He was attentive and followed up in a timely manner. He found us the perfect lot at a reasonable price and made sure construction of our new home was done properly and flawlessly. He sent us progress pictures and videos regularly which were very helpful. I am enjoying the view from the back of our property; it is so peaceful to wake up to each morning. I highly recommend David, he was our eyes and ears since we are not local and he is a realtor that you can trust, he was genuinely committed to assisting us with the entire homebuying process. I can't thank him enough; it was an AWESOME homebuying experience.
The Halstead Family
We didn’t think it would be possible to get our 1st home, our dream home, in a community we really are excited about….David made it happen for us!! David kept us updated throughout the entire process, checking in, taking pictures, videos, and keeping in contact with the builder. Before we closed, he brought in an independent inspector to walk through the house and point out potential issues which turned out to be extremely helpful. Once we closed David still followed up to make sure we were settled and there weren’t any issues. The home buying process is stressful enough so you need a realtor who is responsive, knowledgeable and experienced. Thank you David!
The Stepp Family
We started working with David Burgess in February 2022. We contacted him and let him know we would be in town to house hunt and he cleared his schedule to meet with us and accompany us to several different subdivisions. We appreciated his understanding of the Manatee County real estate market and the professional suggestions he made along the way. We actually walked into a new development with David towards the end of our first day of house hunting and the sales manager answered “yes” to our three “must” questions-“Do you have any available lots?”, “Can you build a pool while building the home?”, and “Is your build time less than a year?”. We went under contract that same day. Building a home while living away in the Midwest was a challenge, but David stayed in communication with us and was just a text or email away with a quick answer to all of our questions. Thirteen months later (yes, it went over the 8-10 months the development initially quoted us), we are living in our beautiful new Florida home and couldn’t be happier! David is everything you want in a real estate agent-knowledgeable, experienced, personable, and honest. He attended our final contract meeting over FaceTime, coordinated the services of an inspector pre-closing, and attended our final walkthrough to see our home vision brought to life. It’s been several months since our closing and David continues to be in touch with us, checking in periodically to see if there’s anything we need. We are so appreciative we connected with David and can’t recommend him enough if you’re buying or selling a home. 10/10 recommend!

I had such a positive experience working with David as my realtor. He was kind, patient, honest, and extremely knowledgeable of the overall area and new construction builders. When I was first thinking of moving to FL towards the end of last year (after having lived in NJ my entire life - 35+ years), he took the time to detail all the areas he felt would be best suited for me. When we finally met in person, he took the time to meet me according to my schedule and took me to all the homes he thought I'd like best within my budget... the day(s) got progressively better as one home was nicer than the last. Making a move such as this one was so scary, stressful and nerve racking for me and he made me feel comfortable and confident that he would be there every step of the way, and he truly was. Once I found my forever Villa, he would send check-in texts and emails to make sure everything was moving along smoothly and when our final walk through came about, he was there with me to make sure everything was how it should be and he helped put together the list of items the construction team had to fix or finish.
David, thank you for everything... especially for making an incredibly stressful time as easy and worry-free as possible. I appreciate your time, patience and honesty throughout this entire process. Moving from NJ to FL took a bit of adjusting but I couldn't be happier and I absolutely LOVE my villa. You helped and guided me through one of the best (though hardest) decisions of my life.
