Front Door Properties (Wainwright & Co) - Moneta, Virginia

We recently sold our Smith Mountain Lake condo, and although David Simon officially represented the buyers, he went above and beyond to make the entire process seamless and professional for everyone involved—including us. Since we were self-represented sellers, David had to manage communications and logistics between both sides, and he did so with incredible clarity, fairness, and respect.

David was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and consistently kept us in the loop at every stage. He made what could have been a complicated transaction feel smooth and stress-free. We felt completely comfortable and confident throughout the process thanks to his steady guidance.

If you're buying or selling in the area, we would highly recommend David Simon. He’s a true professional and a pleasure to work with.

David and Beth Simon of Front Door Properties at Smith Mountain Lake Virginia were a pleasure to work with. They were knowledgeable and so willing to answer our many questions. If they didn’t have the immediate answer to a question they always quickly researched the issue and got back to us quickly with the answer. David is very knowledgeable about the lake and surrounding area and knows the real estate market well. He was very honest in assessing each property visited. On the day of closing David made sure we knew how to use all of the home’s many amenities. He also has a lot of contacts for various services in the area to help make connections for repairs and maintenance if needed. David was also able to provide financing suggestions. I would not hesitate to recommend David Simon for buying or selling property. He will go the extra mile to make sure you have an easy and successful buying or selling experience.

Working with David and Beth to help my father purchase his dream SML was truly such a breeze. There is a reason they have so many glowing reviews!!

David and Beth were so kind and eager to help us right from the beginning. They worked with all of the specifics my father wanted (a large garage, space from neighbors, a beautiful dock, etc.) and found him a the perfect spot. There were a number of significant repair issues that were discovered during the inspection and David had our back. They negotiated for and the seller took care of over $24,000 in repairs and on top of that secured a seller to buyer credit for a few repairs which could not be completed prior to closing. He also negotiated a Seadoo and furnishings into the purchase to make it move in ready.

They also discovered issues such as the rip rap size and that the neighbor across the cove owned the land under the dock of the home that my father was purchasing. David swiftly worked to resolve these issues , negotiated  a settlement with the seller to ensure the rip rap issue could be resolved and secure an easement from that neighbor as well. This was touchy, but successfully navigated.

Even with the few setbacks we had, David and Beth made this process so incredibly smooth and easy. They were even willing to go out by boat ride at the end of November so we could see the properties from the water!!

There was not a single moment I doubted them or their expertise. I felt confident to take the backseat and knew they would get done everything necessary. I would recommend them a million times over.

David Simon recently sold a waterfront home for us in record time for a great price. We also had purchased a waterfront lot as an investment a number of years ago. We listed the property with David and within 24 hours he had the property posted with photos from the water and from the street. It included a wonderful write up detailing what the property was like. Over the years, we had two other realtors list the property for us which resulted in not one single bite. Because the lot was a bit steep I was skeptical we would ever sell it, but David did it!! If you want a realtor who is high energy and never gives up, hire David.

David Simon was a pleasure to work with! He was organized, knowledgeable, and guided us through every step of the home buying process. Beth, his assistant, was instrumental by offering valuable decorating and design advice along the way. Together, they made buying our lake home a fun and stress-free experience, and we always felt supported and well-informed. I highly recommend David if you’re looking for a trusted and generally nice realtor to help you find your dream home at Smith Mountain Lake!

We highly recommend David Simon for all your real estate needs around Smith Mountain Lake! We just purchased our dream lake home in Mariner's Landing with David, and it was a delightful experience. David is knowledgeable, helpful, and extremely proactive with his communication with his clients. We'd happily refer him to anyone looking to move or purchase at the lake!

Strongly recommend David Simon if you are buying or selling real estate on Smith Mountain Lake. He is extremely knowledgeable and attentive. We bought our lakeside home sight unseen due to David’s recommendation. We spent 3 days searching lakefront residences with David. In that time I felt that David had our best interest. We have owned over 20 residential and commercial properties in 3 states. I was a NY real estate broker. We were and are extremely satisfied with David Simon. I strongly, and without hesitation, recommend David. He is exceptional.

David Simon has sold two of our Smith Mountain Lake front homes, most recently our home in Franklin County. His knowledge of the community is unparalleled, which brings in potential buyers from many states. He was incredibly helpful with clearing hurdles that came up with AEP regulation issues prior to closing on both of the homes he sold of ours. His patience was a breath of fresh air that made the process much less stressful. I will always recommend him 100% of the time to anyone who's looking to live the "Lake Life".
