What Our Clients Say

After having miserable experiences with other unnamed realtors in the Coachella Valley, we renewed an old acquaintance with Dave Kibbey. It proved most fruitful, Dave in essence told us the "facts of life" regarding our home. We needed upgrades and staging to market it properly. We followed Dave's advice to the letter. Although begrudgingly, our home sold in one day of listing for 100K over asking price. And above what our other realtors offered the home for two years earlier. Dave is a no nonsense expert in Coachella Valley real estate and we would highly recommend his services.

Our family worked with Dave to sell our fathers custom home. He was an outstanding advocate for us in selling this special and unique property. His personal touch to ensure that we, as his clients, were taken care of in all areas was exceptional. He was patient and a joy to work with. We are so very thankful for Dave and his team for their professionalism and experience. They made the process easy and pretty stress free. I highly recommend Dave if you are selling or buying.

I wanted to write you to tell you how much I appreciated the professionalism and enthusiasm you and your team exhibited on the sale of our property in Palm Desert. I think the way you photographed and marketed the property was outstanding. You made the whole process a pleasure. If you ever want a recommendation, don’t hesitate to have your client give me a call. Definitely a five star experience!

Dave Kibbey and his Team were exceptionally professional and knowledgeable. They were able to sell our home quickly and find the right buyer who is very happy with their purchase. We would recommend Dave and his Team for the sale of your home. David & Sharon - Indian Wells.

We became involved with Dave and his team three years ago. Dave never pressured, constantly followed up with us. He always kept us up on the Changing Market Conditions in the Coachella Valley and specifically in Ironwood Country Club where our home was located. We had taken our home off the Market when COVID hit. After a few months Dave reached out to tell us that the market for luxury homes in the desert was HOT. We made the decision to then list our home. Dave advised us on the pricing, listed it on Friday morning and we had a great all-cash offer that evening with a 30-day close of escrow, at the highest price per-SF Ironwood CC has ever seen. One day later, Dave quickly helped us find a replacement property, he advised us on the offer to purchase and it was accepted within hours.Dave Kibbey & Associates offers a total team effort. Dave’s Client Services coordinator Wendi Brinson was nothing short of phenomenal in expediting, tracking and coordinating the incredible amount of paperwork, people and issues involved in selling and moving into a new home in 30-days. It takes more than Dave’s inhouse team to get a home sale and purchase done. Inspectors, reports, solar lease transfers, repairs all had to be arranged and completed on 2-home transactions within 14-days, seamlessly. None of this can happen without a coordinated effort with the Escrow Company, Oasis Escrow. Once again, these are the professionals Team Dave Kibbey works with and they were, equally, nothing short of phenomenal. We would be remiss to not acknowledge Denise Dupont and Darbi Hannah for the consummate professionalism they exhibit. We all know, buying, selling and moving our homes is beyond a critical and important financial decision. It can involve quite a bit of stress and emotion. It is not exaggeration to assert Dave Kibbey & Associates takes this burden off your shoulders creating a wonderful, painless move.Lastly, all of this “Teamwork” is meaningless without a solid, grounded, ethical and extremely good person leading the “Team”.Dave is that “good” person. We are grateful to have had him come into our lives and consider him a caring friend.

Randall and I are so appreciative that you were able to sell our home in 3 weeks! From the time we first saw your professional and beautiful postcard mailers of luxury homes for sale, I knew you were the realtor we would use. Once we met with you it was obvious how knowledgeable and resourceful you were in obtaining for us the relevant details that would make our home sell. It was easy to feel confident in your ability.In addition to your friendly and easy-going nature, your entire staff was equally engaging and everyone pitched in to assist us and organize the process from start to end. It was also a plus that you had excellent staging and moving resources for us and everyone was keen to please us.Thank you for making my dream to move close to our grandkids a reality! I highly recommend your services to any prospective client. We wish continued success for you and your team!

When we put our relatively modest Palm Desert condo on the market, at first we didn’t fully appreciate what professionalism, honesty and competence we bought into when we selected your team. Our experience has been most gratifying and exceeded our expectations. Your assistant, Wendi Brinson, was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, as well. You and your team sold our condo faster than we expected and at a decent price. Moreover, you were able to facilitate an agreement from the buyer allowing us to lease back our beloved condo for two months during prime season. We consider that a telling example of how you were willing to work with us to accomplish our overall goal of gradually withdrawing from everything we hold dear in this valley. For this, we are most appreciative. We would highly recommend you and your team to anybody who wants to buy or sell property in the valley, knowing they would be in good hands.

Dave took much of the stress out of selling our home. He knew the market, the buyers and the sellers.

THANK YOU DAVE The property we had to sell was a tough sell. Dave’s knowledge of the market and his experience and advice was invaluable to us. He kept advising us to position our property so that it was as attractive and competitive as possible. By allowing Dave to guide us we were finally able to put that coveted “SOLD” sign in the front of our condo. Thanks Dave. Cathy Macartney
