    Hello and welcome to our video blog! We are thrilled to have you here as part of our growing community of homeowners, future homeowners, and real estate enthusiasts.

Empathy & Experience Makes All the Difference

We work fast, we’re disciplined, our attitudes are positive, and we do whatever it takes for our clients to win

Selling a home isn’t just about square footage and sales prices. It’s about letting go of a chapter you’ve written over the years: the hallway where your kids took their first steps, the kitchen where holidays came to life, the backyard where time seemed to slow down. When life calls you into a new season—whether to move up, to downsize, to make a fresh start, or to bid an emotional goodbye—it’s okay to feel overwhelmed. It takes the right team to meet these moments with insight, care, and bold thinking. You need a guide who sees the full picture, honours your story, and walks with you every step of the way.

Without clarity, selling a home can feel like navigating a storm without a compass. The wrong advice or timing can leave you vulnerable, chasing price drops, losing leverage, or missing the buyer who truly connects with your home. Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be that way. At Cities Real Estate, we bring more than market knowledge. We bring strategy, energy, and empathy—because relationships are at the heart of everything we do. Backed by 3 decades of experience, we anticipate what others overlook, position your home with intention, and negotiate with your future in mind.

When you work with us, you’re partnering with a group of people who care deeply about the same streets, schools, and stories you do. Whether you’re preparing to sell a cherished family home, a luxury property, or part of your investment portfolio, we tailor our approach to meet your goals with clarity and compassion. We take the time to listen, provide expert guidance, and create a personalized strategy that reflects your unique story, all backed by market insight, data, and a trusted network of professionals.

So let’s talk. Not a sales pitch—just a real conversation about where you are and where you want to go. From there, we’ll map out a plan for success and take it one thoughtful move at a time.

It’s Not Just What We Offer—It’s How We Deliver

What Our Clients Are Saying...

"We had a fantastic experience working with David to sell our home as-is. After receiving one of his letters, we met him at the property and immediately felt comfortable with his honest and personable approach. He not only delivered on his promise but exceeded it, securing us $9,000 more than the agreed price without needing any repairs or even a yard sign. The process was smooth, communication was excellent, and the home sold quickly with minimal hassle. We highly recommend David to anyone looking for a trustworthy and effective real estate agent."

- Mr & Mrs Paul

"Facing foreclosure with only 18 days to spare, we were overwhelmed and unsure what to do, until a neighbor referred us to Dave Panel. From the moment we spoke, we could tell he was knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely cared. Dave guided us through every step, held an open house that brought in serious buyers, and ultimately sold our home for significantly more than the low investor offers we had received before, giving us the financial cushion we didn’t think was possible. Communication was excellent, and the process moved quickly, allowing us extra time to move and start a new adventure after 33 years in our home. What felt like a hopeless situation turned into a miracle thanks to Dave, and we recommend him to anyone facing a tough home sale."

- Bobby & Tracy M.

"Selling our family home after the loss of a loved one was an emotional and complicated process, but working with David made all the difference. Despite receiving a comparable cash offer from another buyer, we chose David because of his kind, respectful attitude and deep understanding of probate situations. He guided us through a messy legal process involving a disputed heirship, handled all the paperwork and title issues at no cost to us, and saved us thousands by avoiding unnecessary probate court proceedings. Throughout it all, he communicated clearly, treated us with compassion, and stayed committed until the very end. We’re incredibly grateful and highly recommend David to anyone going through a similar experience."
