David Swartzbaugh

Dave Swartzbaugh is a trusted and leading realtor who has represented buyers and sellers throughout the large Northern Virginia marketplace since 2001. Dave’s attention to detail, market knowledge, honesty and sense of humor has earned him the respect of his peers and loyalty of his clients.

Dave has built a reputation of having a rather tenacious style of showing and selling homes. Rather than simply being a tour guide he tries to bring a critical eye to the experience and highlight various things that might go unnoticed. When working as a buyer’s agent he does his best to estimate the age of various mechanicals like the water heater or appliances, type of siding, how well the yard is graded, condition of wood trim, etc., bringing real value and insight to his client’s experience. He believes this approach is also quite helpful when working with sellers to list their home. At the first walk through with sellers, he points out any attention needed for repair or improvement to help his sellers get their house ready for market. If possible, he recommends addressing issues ahead of time to help market the home successfully and keep the transaction on track. The fewer surprises during a home inspection the better.

Dave has lived and worked in Loudoun, Fairfax, Alexandria and Arlington since 1985. Now living in Reston with his wife and five daughters, he enjoys watching his girls swim competitively, play soccer, ballet, & of course spending time with family and friends.
