I was a lot, bare land, that we purchased so it was straight forward for us. David knew all the ins and outs of the deal. We closed in less than 2 weeks which was nice. He represented the seller also so it was tough for him to advise, hence only a 4 star on negotiation skills

If you are reading this then you are looking for the absolute best agent in the area, look no further. David worked tirelessly to help us secure a riverfront piece of property on the Swan River. My wife and I are convinced that without his expertise we would not have been able to call The Flathead valley our home in this competitive market.

David helped my fiancé and I purchase our first home. He was very helpful and made the entire process so easy! Buying a first home can be a scary process and this was easier than trying to find a place to rent and he made it fun and exciting! We would highly recommend him and will use him in the future should we purchase more properties.

David Fetveit provided an excellent level of support as we searched for homes in two different cities. He is flexible and provides a good balance of listening and helping us see things his trained eye picks up on more readily than ours.

Working with David was one of the best experiences I have had with a realtor. He worked diligently to get us into a large group of houses and then back again into the ones we wanted to see for a second time. He was there for us through the entire process even when we took him out of his "zone." He was very helpful, knowledgeable and easy to work with.

We moved across country to Flathead Valley and David's service was excellent from start through closing. On our initial meeting, David gave us on an extensive tour of the entire valley, introducing us to the extremely varied real estate offered here. During our 15 month process, his service never wavered as he always responded in a timely and helpful manner. He even provided us a live FaceTime tour of a rental property when it became apparent we would not be able to find an existing property prior to moving. He was also very supportive when we decided to change our search from an existing house to a lot/land. He never wavered throughout our real estate purchase process and helped us exactly meet our need. We highly recommend David as a buying agent!

He helped me buy a short sale house for much less than the listed price. Buying a short sale is a difficult process, but David was able to successfully negotiate with the bank and the sellers.
