Our Client's Success Stories

    "Will definitely recommend him!"
    Dave was fantastic to work with. He did the (dare I say typical) above and beyond things we have come to expect, but what I loved most was that I could trust his point of view. He was up for talking things through at every step of the way, and gave me space to form my own opinion but always was straightforward and honest about his.I knew he was in my corner, from start to finish, which made the process so much less stressful. He knows Muskegon, he knows real estate, and he also knows how to be kind while also having integrity. Will definitely recommend him to friends!

    "David Manley is the best!"
    I've known dozens of realtors in several markets, and David Manley is the best. He's the hardest working guy in the business, and i cannot imagine buying or selling in Muskegon without him. He understands how to invest in rental properties and negotiate deals. And best of all,he's really great guy.

    "I highly recommend him!"
    David sold our house in about a week. Last year I used a big real estate company and had one showing. He is very professional and helpful. He kept me informed through a lengthy close caused by the finance company. I highly recommend him.

    I would most definitely call on David again for selling or buying a property. He was helpful beyond expectations and corresponded regularly or was always available to answer questions or make suggestions.

    "This Guy Is Fantastic!"
    David Manley A Real Estate agent in Muskegon, MI for Core Realty responded to a small house wanted ad I posted on the internet. He was very professional yet personable and I liked him right away. His main focus was finding houses currently for sale in the area that met all or most of our criteria.We liked several he showed us and fell in love with the one purchased. We were first time buyers with an FHA loan and the house he found us fit well as it was move in ready. David Manley from core realty was very knowledgeable and negotiated with the seller for a much better deal. He suggested I have an inspection done to find anything wrong from a professional Inspector, so I did. The inspection was a blessing as we found the roof to be very unsatisfactory and some other much smaller issues as well. My real estate agent David Manley made a plan with me and actually negotiated with the seller to replace the roof at their cost and pay the closing cost as well, with no change in price. Outstanding! Dave Manley was well in touch with updates and information every step of the way. With the real estate deal done and the family moved in Dave Manley showed up and rang the doorbell. He had a super cool house warming gift and a dinner on him gift card. He asked if everything was okay and how we liked our new home with all the extra room and property. We told him we loved it. We also told him we sure were glad he answered our ad and we owed it all to him. I would super highly recommend David Manley - Real Estate Agent for Core Realty in Muskegon, MI. This Guy Is Fantastic!
