David Simon Reviews 2026

Back in 2023 my wife and I decided that we wanted to buy some land in Virginia in the country. We found 15 acres of undeveloped land. We reached out to David and Beth to help us acquire this land. From day one, David has been with us and has been able to help us by showing us the land, getting all of the needed information that was important to us, and getting us all of the needed contacts to start development. At that time, we were living in FL. During the build progress, David has been there making sure everything goes as planned, meeting with contractors, and providing us with updates along the way. When it came into the move in date, David and Beth even helped us with unloading the truck. The experience in working with David and Beth has been great. Once we were moved in and started building our main house, the process had several challenges. David and Beth would be of assistance when it came down to dealing with the builder and other contractors. They were with us until the end of the build on our main house. It was over a year in this process and it was very comforting knowing that they had my back. In early 2025 my wife passed away and I decided to sell my house in 2026. There was no question on who I was going to get to represent me in the sale of the house. David and Beth did an awesome job helping me get the house ready to sell and getting it staged for pictures and showings. Since we were in a really remote area, it wasn't an easy task on selling this house. They made the house very appealing and it looked great. We closed the house just a few days ago. I am very thankful to have David and Beth right with me the whole way from the time I bought the property to the time I sold the house. If you are reading this and looking for someone to represent you in buying or selling a house, hire them!! You will not be disappointed. They will take care of you and will take care of you through the whole process. Thanks David and Beth! Glad I met you guys and that I can call you friends.

David and Beth Simon did exceptional work throughout the entire sale process. They work so well together. David brought an analytical engineering approach to pricing and repairs, and maintains a deep understanding of the unique requirements of preparing an SML property for sale. Beth added great suggestions about what to leave in (and remove) prior to preparing for social media, website, and in-person viewing. If you are planning a Smith Mtn Lake property for sale, I would look no further than this team.

When I decided to sell my family lake home, I needed a realtor who knew Smith Mountain Lake and could provide sound guidance to help me maximize my return. I also needed someone who was comfortable working with an out-of-state seller, since I wasn't able to be hands-on with the work required to prepare the house for sale. After interviewing several Realtors, I decided to work with David. I appreciated his positive, can-do attitude and the fact that he has been a longtime Smith Mountain Lake resident. As an added bonus, he came highly recommended by people I trust. David and his wife, Beth, cleaned the house, staged it, coordinated painting and numerous repairs (even completed some themselves), tidied up the landscaping, and truly went above and beyond to get the property ready for market. They were always available to answer my questions, provide guidance, and keep me informed throughout the process. The house sold quickly—twice, actually. The first buyer backed out through no fault of David's. He promptly secured another buyer and made the entire process as seamless as possible, which I greatly appreciated given my inability to be there in person. When an HOA issue involving incorrect boat slip assignments delayed the closing, David was instrumental in minimizing the delay. He worked diligently behind the scenes to resolve the issue, keeping me informed, while managing the buyer's expectations to keep the transaction together. I highly recommend David to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, hardworking, and genuinely caring Realtor at Smith Mountain Lake. Whether you're buying or selling, he will go above and beyond to help you achieve the best possible outcome.

Stephanie thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. It truly means a great deal to Beth and me.
Representing you in the sale of your family's lake home was an honor. We know how challenging it can be to manage the sale of a property from out of state, and we're grateful that you trusted us to handle not only the marketing and negotiations, but also all of the details involved in preparing the home for sale.

While we certainly encountered a few unexpected challenges along the way, we're glad we were able to navigate them together and ultimately achieve a successful closing.

We had an outstanding experience working with David and his wife, Beth, in finding our home at Smith Mountain Lake. From the very beginning, they were knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping us find the perfect place. We had been casually looking for a retirement home at SML for several years before we met David and Beth. They took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and worked tirelessly to help us find the perfect house. It took about two years of working with them to find our home, but they were always responsive, professional, and incredibly patient throughout the process. We never felt rushed or pressured, and their guidance and expertise gave us confidence at every step. We live about 5 hours from SML, so we appreciated that David and Beth would provide us with a virtual tour if they found a house they thought we would be interested in. Then we could decide whether to make the trip and see the house in person. And once the deal was in place, David was so helpful in answering all our questions, and there were a lot! We couldn’t be happier with our new home at Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia, and we are so grateful for everything they did for us. If you’re looking for realtors who truly care about their clients and go above and beyond, we highly recommend David and Beth!

David was referred to us by a long-time trusted realtor friend in Michigan. He and his wife Beth were a pleasure to work with as we set about selling my parents former retirement home at Water's Edge at Smith Mountain Lake. David helped to assess the value of the property, prepared the home for sale through deep cleaning and a photo portfolio, arranged showings and fielded phone inquiries, negotiated, advised and provided perspective on a reasonable outcome. David also deftly managed the closing and final sign-off's. He made the whole process very manageable. I highly recommend David Simon.

David and Beth were amazing to work with. They listened to our wants for a vacation home on Smith Mountain Lake and kept us informed of any listings that met our needs. David was very responsive to texts and emails and extremely pleasant to work with. During the escrow process, David got permission from the previous owner to put some furniture in the home that was delivered prematurely. Not only did he arrange this permission, but he made several trips to the townhouse to check and see if the furniture was there and, on several occasions, put the furniture inside the townhouse. This was extremely helpful since we live over 2 hours away from the lake. In addition, David helped us out by providing a lead on a boat the day it hit the dealer!! David loves the lake and lives there! He is very knowledgeable about everything there! I would use David in a heartbeat if we were to sell or buy anything else at the lake.

David and Beth were wonderful to work with. They have great people skills, very knowledgeable of the area and very responsive to our requests. Their schedules were flexible, always available to meet us on quick notice. They found homes that fit our price range and advised us on making the right offer. David went out of his way to check on deliveries of furniture when we were unavailable to be at the house. As they live on Smith Mountain Lake they were able to make many recommendations of lake living. We highly recommend David and Beth!!

Working with David was fantastic! He was always available to answer questions and provide support during the whole process. He was quick to find homes in our price range and schedule viewings. Most importantly he was able to negotiate the price down on the house that we really wanted AND find us a lender that offered first time home owner down payment assistance. I highly recommend working with David to find your future home!

Most often when deciding to sell or buy, people often look for a realtor based on “reviews” read online or by word of mouth and hope that they measure up in real life. Here in the Smith Mountain Lake region of Virginia, Realtor David Simon sure has been thoroughly “tested” by our family with myself most recently being his FOURTH closing just in our family alone. Additional family members are also utilizing his skills in possibly finding just the right fit for them in the future. He and his wife Beth measure up for the just thinking of it stage all the way up thru to closing and beyond in utilizing their expertise five star plus service every step of the way!!

We happily give David Simon 5 stars for our recent real estate transaction at Smith Mountain Lake. And, with David, you also get his lovely wife, Beth, who is full of information about the area. My husband and I were new to Smith Mountain Lake and essentially knew very little about the area. We planned a weekend to visit and set aside a day with David to see properties. He was wonderful to work with, and we were not easy. I gave him one set of criteria, and he had a full day planned, then the night before we changed nearly all of our search criteria. David didn't flinch and created a new plan for us quickly. He and his wife, Beth, met us in the morning and offered to drive us for the day, which was perfect because we learned so much from David and Beth throughout the day. We saw many homes and one that ticked all the boxes. David was great at guiding us through the entire process. We couldn't be at all the inspections, and David was there. I wanted to bring my son to see the house before we closed, and David arranged his day around letting us in to see the house. He has recommendations for all of our inquiries and offers good advice as well. And, just because our transaction is officially closed, doesn't mean he's done. We've had just as many questions since we closed and he continues to give us answers and time. If you need a realtor, don't hesitate to reach out to David Simon! We look forward to seeing him at the lake!

David and the Wainwight & Co real estate office were the perfect fit for us. David was always very responsive to our calls, texts and emails. He understood what we were looking for and was able to identify properties that matched our criteria. He guided us through a very tight bidding process where his knowledge and expertise in the SML real estate market enable us to win the bid and purchase the property. He also helped us with the closing process, even offering to pick up and drop off paperwork to get us the move in date we had hoped for. We couldn’t be happier with David and Co and highly recommend them!
