His goal is to educate his clients so that they can make the best possible buying or selling decision for their families’ lifestyles as well as their financial future.

David has well balanced skill set to insure a well thought-out and well informed transaction. He prides himself on his analytical skills for assisting buyers and sellers interpret the vast market data. He is a master marketer who knows how to expose his seller’s properties by using old school gorilla marketing and using cutting edge online marketing technology.

Most importantly David understands the human and emotional element of Real Estate. He truly cares and takes a personal stake in each of his clients’ transactions. He treats his clients like they are family. That is what has driven David to join Homes for Heroes. He has a passion for giving back to our nation’s heroes! He said,” It is least I can do to back those individuals who have chosen to put their lives at risk to protect our society’s well being and defend our freedom.” He also believes in giving back to The Silent Heroes like the Nurses who are on the front line of health care and our educators who we are trusting with our number one resource, our children. David thinks that participating in Homes for Heroes is the right thing to do! It is the least he can do to say THANKS!

Now I had mentioned that David Cohen has an eye for marketing and now I can get to Elwood. You all remember the great car chase scene from the Blues Brothers. Homes for Heroes and David Cohen had an opportunity to meet the real Elwood at a local wine shop. The idea hit David hard and the rest is Home for Heroes history.

This last Saturday, Dan Aykroyd (aka Elwood Blues) was in Minneapolis promoting his new Wine and Vodka Products. He generously offered Police, Firefighters and Military (our heroes) a free autographed bottle of wine! And of course David was there clad in his Home for Heroes sweatshirt. Never missing an opportunity to spread the word of Homes for Heroes to a captive audience; David seized this highly publicized event to stand in line for FOUR HOURS to hand out lovely Home for Heroes T-shirts he digitally prints himself. When finally his turn in front this celeb for a signed bottle of wine, David offered Mr. Aykroyd his very own Homes for Heroes t-shirt. Seeming to welcome a chance to take a break from the repetition of signing bottles endlessly for hours, he happily replied ” Thanks, that’s a great program!”

Elwood driving got David to the event on time.

I have been working with 1st time buyer for about a week. He is capped out at $145,000.   He wants to purchase a single family ghome in Dakota or Scott County. If you would have asked me four years ago if you could find single family homes in this price range, I would have told you that you were on crack! I have been amazed how many properties are listed bellow $150,000.  The only problem is that every decent property has two to four offers on them! The banks finally get it and are pricing some of gthe3se properties so ridiculously low that Buyers are jumping on them.  Moral of the story is help our client analyze and realize many of these proprieties have been discounted enough already so there is no need to play the typical "BUYER GAMES" like  low ball 25k under list when the property has all ready been adjusted for condition. Now more than ever we need to help our buyers see a property's real value and not let their ego and desire to make a steal prevent them from making a wise investment and purchase.

 

Here is an interesting fact:  In Plymouth Wayzata Schools (District 284) there were 279 SOLD & CLOSED transactions of Detached Single Family Homes in 2008 while Plymouth Robbinsdale Schools (District 281) only had 117 CLOSED & SOLD transactions in 2008. Other stats:

                                            284                     281

Average List Price                $423,238             $328,495 

Average Sales Price              $406,162             $317,048   

Sale/List Ratio                       95.9%                  96.5%

Average Days on Market         64.6 Days           69 Days

Average CDOM                       125 Days           138 Days

 

This data was compiled using Northstar MLS. All Information reliable but not guarenteed.

 

 

 As of 3/3/09 there are currently 31 Active foreclosure properties for sale in Plymouth compared to 57 Foreclosures for sale in Maple Grove and 45 for sale in Minnetonka.
