We were wide-eyed, inexperienced first-time home buyers when we met David. He was completely approachable and, in his altruistic manner, was keen to educate us on the nuances of buying a home in Toronto. He was never self-serving and always had our best interests at heart.He worked diligently, tirelessly and within our modest budget to ensure that we not only found a house suitable to our needs but a home in which we could start our life together. Throughout this process, he was our market expert, our cheerleader, and our visionary. He kept us up-to-date, sustained us when we were discouraged, and would not allow us to settle for anything less than what we deserved.Our relationship with David did not end with the exchange of keys to our new home. He continues to extend his support and periodically checks in simply to see how we are doing.With David his genuineness is integral to his appeal. He is hip, an expert in his craft, and left us feeling that we had not only met a great agent, but made a good friend.

David Dutton is the man! His energy, attention to detail and knowledge of the marketplace and Toronto neighbourhoods were instrumental in finding my dream home. David not only provides a service but challenges you to determine what you value when looking for my home. He’s a friend and has made my experience personable, enjoyable and stress free. I look forward to working with him on my next transaction and recommend him to any new home buyers/sellers. Until the next time my friend!

Having worked with another real estate agent before syncing up with David, we can say we were blown away by David's approach to the Toronto real estate market. Well-versed and armed with his own stats, David takes the time to get to know his clients and their individual needs before working to set a joint strategy. He is not afraid to do the legwork that other agents shy away from. He is candid, has an eye for value, and provides honest insight--including where to draw the line and when not to bid. We purchased our first house together with David and would not hesitate to recommend him!

We think Dave is the best real estate agent in the world! We sold our house with him at the end of the summer and it was a great experience. It was actually a house he had helped us buy 2 years earlier and it really made us appreciate all the thought he had put into buying it in terms of resale value.Dave does have a team but he still does a lot of the work himself and you always deal with Dave directly, which we appreciated.Dave was so helpful with the staging process. He brought by boxes for us to put stuff in, he organized movers and storage and he did all the staging himself, and for free! He has a great collection of artwork and furniture that he used to make our house look amazing, and he even trimmed our hedges and planted some new flowers!Once the house was actually on the market Dave kept us updated with how many viewings were getting and what people were saying and when our house did sell we were very happy with the price!Then, even after the close, when Dave and his team and already done more than enough to earn their commission, they were still helping us out by looking for rental units in the city we were moving to (since we sold before we bought).We wish we could have used Dave as our agent to buy our new house outside the city and we would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy in Toronto.

David is the epitome of what you'd want in a real estate agent. We've now used dutton+co twice -- once to purchase a condo in 2017, and a sale/purchase in 2022 -- and have only positive things to say. He and his staff are knowledgeable, thorough, responsive, and never hesitated to go the extra mile. He took an active role in ensuring we arrived at the best result for us, and catered to our style and experience. Both the process and result were excellent. We've already referred friends and family to Dave, and will continue to do so.

I had a very positive experience purchasing a condo with the help of Jonathan. My last experience with an agent selling a condo was terrible and I was quite apprehensive. Jonathan was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable - I could not decide where I wanted to buy but he had first hand knowledge of almost all the buildings we looked at - from the west end where I thought I had to own to right downtown where I realized was where I really wanted to live. He was super patient with me as I figured out where to purchase. With the lack of supply and my budget it was not an easy job but there was never any pressure on his part. I ended up with the perfect condo. Thank you Jonathan.

My husband and I recently worked with David and his team to sell our home. The entire process was extremely well coordinated, particularly with the behind the scenes work of repairing, staging and prepping our home for the sale; everything was incredibly well done and we didn't have to do a thing other than approve an itemized list of work. Since we had already moved out of our home prior to staging, we completely trusted David to get the job done, and we were not disappointed.The transformation of our house from the staging was simply spectacular! David’s team managed to make our nearly 100-year-old home appear bright, modern and extremely appealing to buyers. We simply could not believe the transformation and almost did not want to sell.David’s strategic insight on the timing for when we should put our house on the market was spot on. We were blown away at the sheer volume of interested buyers that appeared within minutes of listing our home. We greatly appreciated David’s keen eye on other similar properties that were scheduled to be listed on the market, we and used that knowledge to ensure that our home didn't need to compete with other possibly more appealing homes. We sold our home within 24 hours of listing, once again proving that David’s knowledge of the market is a hugely valuable asset.We would be remiss if we didn’t provide kudos to Takara and the assistance she provided us throughout the entire process. We so appreciated her prompt and professional responses to our many questions, and she sorted out the numerous details involved with the sale with ease - or at least she made everything look easy.We will enthusiastically recommend David and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Selling a home in Toronto can create a lot of worries but working with David and his team was one of the most stress-free processes we've ever experienced. His real-estate knowledge is vast, and he knows everything about selling your house for the best price. His team was accommodating to the needs of our family with pets and young children. Communication was completed with a lot of notice and every detail was explained thoroughly. If we did have any questions; the response time was immediate. We're very happy we were able to work with David during this exciting move in our life. Thank you for everything.Rupert & Dawn

My wife and I recently bought a home and couldn’t be happier! Jonathan was an unbelievable agent who helped us every step of the way, even after closing! He took the time to properly understand our goals and talked us through every detail in houses we saw (including even the smallest details). He provided realistic expectations and was always ready to go to bat for us. He helped us purchase our house for under asking in the hot Toronto market! Most importantly he was always accessible and a great communicator.Cheers to Jonathon and the whole Dutton group!

We had worked with David before, and when it came time to sell our Toronto home, we didn’t hesitate to reach out. He manages to combine deep knowledge of the market, leading-edge strategy and attention to detail with genuine care for his clients. At every stage of the process, we felt completely supported, with the best information and advice. He even helped paint our porch to make sure everything looked great for the market. The sale exceeded our expectations, but David’s commitment didn’t end there. He assisted with many aspects of our move and even stepped in to help troubleshoot when things went a bit off the rails with our movers. David is more than just an agent – he’s a friend and a valued advisor. We can’t recommend him enough.
