REVIEWS
- Jacob Bueno de MesquitaI enjoyed working with David throughout the first-time-homebuyer process. David brought a level of service and expertise that made me feel confident that I was doing all I could to ensure a smooth search and closing. Working with David very likely helped in getting my offer accepted by the seller despite multiple offers on the property. David also helped usher me through an easy closing, despite a few delays on the part of the seller and some uncertainties with the property given that it was a new condo conversion and the legal and tax documentation was still being finalized. David helped me get the best deal despite a pricey market and higher lender interest rates. Most importantly it was a joy working with him.
- J DiossaI liked the professionalism, knowledge, understanding, and comfort David presented. He clearly wants what is best for the customer. He has plenty of resources to assist you with buying or selling a home. The has a good team with him.

- Michael TempletonSold my home in Edgewood (Cranston) and bought a condo on the East Side (Providence). David was absolutely incredible! His attention to detail, availability, reliability, ongoing and clear communication, and flexibility were absolutely unmatched. He made a potentially stressful process seamless and even enjoyable! From his insightful recommendations every step of the way to his above-and-beyond follow through, there is no one more professional and no one I would recommend as highly. If you are in the market for an agent who knows their stuff and will take the best care of you, David is 100% your guy!
- Silvy SouzaWe recently worked with David on the sale of our home, and from the very beginning, he demonstrated a strong knowledge of the market, current trends, and comparable properties. Because of his expertise, we were able to sell our home in just under a week from the time it hit the market-and for over the asking price! David was extremely detail-oriented and kept us informed throughout the entire process. He ensured our tasks were well organized, sent timely reminders, and made everything feel seamless and stress-free. He truly was there for us every step of the way, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
- Dina RomeroDavid Cherry is an outstanding realtor! From start to finish, he made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He was always professional, patient, and quick to respond to any questions I had. David went above and beyond to make sure I understood every step and found exactly what I was looking for. His knowledge of the market and attention to detail truly set him apart. I highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated realtor!
- Peter BrownWe recently completed the sale of a lot with the help of David, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. David was quick, responsive, and always available to answer questions or provide updates. His knowledge of the market and proactive approach helped us secure a great deal in a very short time. We highly recommend David to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and results-driven realtor.
- Ana BrownWe were very pleased with how smooth David made the process or selling our property. He was prompt, courteous and very polite. If we had any questions David was always there to put us at ease with his knowledge. We were treated like family

- Milana CepedaDavid was our landlord for years and when we had to move away we stayed in touch. We needed to move once again and David helped us buy our first home. He actually cares, and is really down to earth, we consider him a dear friend. Could not be happier, don't trust anyone else, David is your guy!
- Francheska CherryI’m writing this review almost exactly one year after closing on our home… not because I forgot (ok, maybe a little), but because I wanted to make sure it really was our dream home and not just a really expensive Airbnb. Spoiler: it’s definitely our dream home — and we owe a huge thank you to David! As first-time homebuyers, my husband and I were lost and had no idea where to start. From the very beginning, David was the calm in our storm of chaos. He was always available, was ridiculously patient, and never made us feel like we were asking too many questions (even though we absolutely were!). What really stood out, though, was how informative and thoughtful he was throughout the entire process. He explained everything in plain English (no real estate jargon), helped us weigh pros and cons, and gave honest, pressure-free guidance that always put us at ease. His dedication to making sure we understood every step was incredible. So, one year later (better late than never!), we’re settled, happy, and still incredibly grateful. Thank you, David, for going above and beyond in every way. If anyone reading this is looking for a real estate agent, look no further, you've found your guy!

- Kathleen SullivanMy fiancé and I worked with David as first-time homebuyers, and we had an excellent experience. He guided us through what felt like a foreign language (real estate) and made everything much easier to understand. David was always responsive and communicated clearly throughout the process. He helped us negotiate and secure a home that perfectly suits our needs. When emotions ran high, he kept us grounded and focused. He also ensured everything went smoothly, including coordinating vendors. Overall, it was a great experience, and we highly recommend him.

- randy nadirI had the pleasure of working with David Cherry over this past year. When we first connected, we discussed at depths my goals for purchasing a home. He was patient enough to have my long term interests in mind while also being proactive in bringing to my attention opportunities that were also suitable for my short term goals. Whenever I had a question, he would answer it honestly to a “T” ASAP. Communication skills are second to none. His extensive knowledge of the area made it easy to narrow down search criteria. David is someone that will always step up to the plate for you. Today, I am a more educated, knowledgeable, and confident home owner and real estate investor because of David. Whatever your home-purchasing goals are, I highly recommend David Cherry to anyone.
- trinath gugulothDavid was incredible to work with! He was professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer my questions. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, the entire closing process was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend David to anyone looking for a top-notch realtor!
- Jansey DantusGiven the current market and economic climate I was not looking forward to our house search even though this was supposed to be one of the happier times/major milestones of our lives. Despite our anxiety and fears, David made it just that. He was great through every step of the process and really put us at ease. He was there for every question or clarification we needed, even the ones we were embarrassed to ask and he did it all with a smile. He was knowledgeable, responsive, patient and flexible always willing to work around our schedule whenever possible. He made the entire process even simpler for us as he came prepared with lists of potential recommendations of local partners (Lenders, inspectors, etc.) for us to review while also encouraging us to due our own research and select who we felt the most comfortable with. There was no pressure in this process and he made sure it was a decision we made solely ourselves. In the end we went with partners that happened to be on his list and we couldn't have been happier. To us, this not only spoke volumes about David and his judgement but also the strength of his professional network. The whole process was seamless, went much quicker then we had expected and was not at all what we worried about and that is mostly due to David and his great work and attitude.

- Marisa DeanIf you’re looking for a realtor who will go above and beyond for you, David is it. David was always responsive whenever we sent him countless homes we wanted to look at. Everyday he sent us an updated list of houses available in the areas we were looking at. He never once wavered when we asked him to put in offer after offer. After only a couple months of looking he got us into our dream home. In a market like today you need someone who is willing to go the extra mile and put in the work.
- Jodi RobertWe can't speak highly enough of our experience with David Cherry. David was always well prepared from the beginning of the process, all the way to closing.

- Kenny DosuDavid, it was a pleasure working with you! You went over and above as our realtor, and we learned so much from you. From your educated YouTube videos on real estate, to your detailed spreadsheets, and to the motivational words of encouragements. You were always willing to provide us with more information to teach and inspire us about what our goal was in real estate. You were consistent, and you made sure our experience was pleasant. Again, thank you!
- Corey DasilvaOur perfect home! We felt very well taken care of by our agent, David Cherry. His negotiation skills were top-notch and he was able to secure our dream home for a fantastic price. David was always available and went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and knew what was next throughout the process. David’s experience and deep understanding of the market were invaluable. He provided exceptional service, was always punctual, and was incredibly responsive to our queries. He turned what should or could have been a stressful process into a successful, enjoyable experience. We are so thankful and excited to have our family under one roof and cannot wait to enjoy the holidays together in our new home. Watching our children grow in this home is everything we could have imagined and more.
- Stacy L SimonI had been looking for a place for almost 2 years before finally finding one. Without David, who was creative enough to personally write every owner a personalized letter letting them know he has a buyer. A week later he was contacted and the day after that I was the first to see the place that is now mine. David will go above and beyond, not letting any obstacles distract him from the bottom line, which is finding you a place to call home. I am beyond blessed that I had David in my corner from day one to closing, staying optimistic, honest and focused. Buying a home can be a stressful time, which David made easier with his unique ability to bring you back to reality. Thank you David, for the million other little things you did for me that I didn’t mention!
