About David Castle

My Client-First Philosophy

Hello, my name is David Castle, and I am a multi-million dollar producer in real estate. I currently have several listings I am working on. I am not afraid of open houses, work, or keeping my cell phone on for my clients!! I am also very interested in my client's needs: such as getting the house of their dreams for them at the cheapest price, or selling their home fast--with the best return!

One thing I really enjoy in this business is that I get to meet people, get to know them and make friends with them. I really love having a network going on at all times, and enjoy it most when my clients benefit from my advice and help. Real estate has not only led me to buyers and sellers of homes, but to other realtors, home stagers, loan officers and home inspectors. These people have great knowledge and have helped to lead me to greater heights in my career. In turn, they have become my friends and have been awarded my business as well as my client's business. I respect those who are willing to work, putting the thought of making money aside to concern themselves with the client's needs. I believe that if I help others and put that first in my career, the financial rewards will certainly follow. I like to make myself totally available to my clients, as well as other professionals in my career, at all times.

Integrity is vital to my business. I believe in doing unto others as I would want them to do unto me. Ever so often, that "little voice" inside will let me know if I could do something better, and I learn from it! I have learned a long time ago that complete honesty is the best and only way--I believe God respects that in me. Making mistakes is human, for certain, but being up front with people shows that I am real with them. I also realize what a disappointment it is when I expect a return phone call from someone and never receive it. Putting myself in the shoes of my clients means I make every effort to return that call--even if it is an inconvenient call! This is part of excellent customer service, something I learned while working all those years as a waiter at Denny's!

When I first got into this business, I realized that there were many, many other realtors who had much more experience than I did. That's when I decided to pray and ask God to give me a reason to do real estate. I was given the answer--"to help people". That's it--if all I did were to help someone, even at my expense, I did my job. Like I said before, I must be willing to put the financial concerns for myself aside and concern myself with the client at hand's needs first.

Areas of Expertise

Buyer and Seller specialist, have access to broker price opinion, market price and pricing specialist. Tax informationalist available.

There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.

That said, in my experience as a Peoria and Tazewell area real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.  If you call me and leave a message, I WILL RETURN YOUR CALL.  Same with e-mails.  If I don't, please let me hear it!

This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.  Since I am an e-PRO, I do have an edge on the lastest technology with getting your home listed and marketed, as well as finding that perfect home for you before someone else does.

So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home, please, contact me.  I look forward to showing you just how dedicated to my career I am by giving you ultimate service.
