Davis Bartels
Listed and sold a home • 2026
We listed our home in January 2025 and did not close until 2026. Almost a year and a half. If you want to understand why we would still give Davis Bartels and Tatum Teel five stars after that experience, keep reading.When we first listed, the offers came in fast. The problem was our HOA. Rising insurance costs had driven our community's deductible so high that lenders were refusing to finance buyers. Solid offers kept falling through, not because of our home, not because of our agents, but because of a structural issue nobody could have predicted. Davis and Tatum were just as blindsided as we were, and they were honest about it. They never pretended to have answers they did not have.By June, a new HOA board president had renegotiated the insurance situation and our community was warrantable again. But by then the market had shifted. The momentum we had in January was gone. Offers dried up. We asked Davis and Tatum repeatedly what else we could do and every time the answer was the same. Our house was immaculate, well-maintained, loaded with upgrades, and in a prime location within the community. We had done everything right. The market just was not cooperating.In October we made the decision to pull the listing and re-launch in March 2026. One open house later, we had the offer we eventually accepted.Through all of it, the HOA chaos, the market cooldown, the long wait, the second launch, Davis and Tatum never stopped hustling. They stayed positive when we were frustrated, kept us grounded when we needed it, and were genuinely a delight to work with under circumstances that would have tested anyone's patience.We will not work with anyone else going forward. If you are buying or selling, call them. Simple as that.

Davis and his real estate team were very professional from the first introduction to list our home for sale to the close of escrow. They made our real estate process seamless and kept us informed throughout the complete experience. Thank you, Davis and your team for your advice, expertise and professionalism throughout the sale of our home. It’s appreciated!

Working with Davis Bartels to sell our home in Westlake Village and buy our new home in Thousand Oaks was the best real estate experience we’ve ever had. If you are looking for a top Thousand Oaks real estate agent, a Westlake Village realtor who actually delivers, or someone who truly knows the Conejo Valley housing market, Davis is the person you want on your side.From day one he was incredibly communicative, professional, and strategic. Davis guided us through pricing, staging, marketing, and negotiations with a level of expertise that made the entire selling process smooth and stress-free. Our home in Westlake Village sold quickly and for top dollar, exactly as he predicted.When it came time to buy, Davis helped us find the perfect property in Thousand Oaks. He knows every neighborhood, school district, and market trend, and he made sure we were seeing the best options before anyone else. His negotiation skills were outstanding and ultimately helped us secure the home at a fantastic price.What makes Davis stand out is that he truly cares. He communicates constantly, explains everything clearly, and makes you feel like you’re his only client. He goes above and beyond with marketing, video, photography, and even off-market opportunities. It’s no surprise he’s consistently ranked as one of the best real estate agents in Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village.If you need a realtor who sells homes for the most money, who understands the local Ventura County and Conejo Valley real estate markets, and who will also help you buy the right home with confidence, I can’t recommend Davis Bartels enough. We will never use anyone else.

Davis and team were amazing! They helped sell our property that had many views but sat on the market for few months. With Davis and team’s creativity, energy and enthusiasm, we closed on the property little over a month since listing. We received superb service every step of the process. I highly recommend Davis and team. We will definitely be working with on future transactions.

Davis and his team were seamless throughout the whole process of our home search. They were always available for questions and available to be on-site when we needed them, especially during the Escrow period while we were abroad. They gave great honest recommendations and really know their stuff when it comes to the finer details of a house. Thank you for helping us buy our first home and making the process so seamless!

Davis Bartels and his team were absolutely amazing! If you are going to buy a house or you are thinking about it, you definitely should reach out to Davis. Not only did Davis negotiate in such a skilled way on our behalf, his guidance was spot on. I just bought my dream home with my partner at the age of 64. I truly thought I was not going to be able to find a house that met both of our needs. We have come together later on in life and we are very clear about what we want. On a handful of occasions I told Davis, “I don’t know if we’ll be able to find a house that accommodates all our needs“ Davis never wavered in his thinking and optimism. You will be in great hands.

Davis Bartels and Matt Larsen did a great job helping me sell a very unique property and also also buy my next place. The listing had a lot nuance and could've easily become complicated, but they handed it smoothly from start to finish.They were professional, communicative, and really understood how to navigate the details without making the process feel overwhelming. I supported throughout both transactions, and everything came together better than I expected.I would definitely recommend working with them.

I know my home buying experience would not have been the same without the Davis Bartels and his team. Davis, Shannon and Chloe were the three that my husband and I closely worked with. Together as a team, they gave us the ultimate experience as first time homebuyers. They guided us every step of the way, answered all of our questions and made what seemed to be such a scary and daunting process less scary. Their knowledge, excellent insight to properties in the area and professionalism is what really sets them apart from the rest. From their willingness to meet up in person with us on multiple occasions, house showings, and speedy replies to all forms of communication (text, email, calls, messages on social media) in my experience really proved that they value client satisfaction and make it a top priority. All three of them made sure to understand our needs and preferences of what we were looking for in a home, the price range that fit our budget, and our vision for how we wanted everything to unfold. If this helps anyone, I would say that my husband and I are definitely on the pickier side and NOT ONCE, did we ever feel pressured to make a decision on anything. Davis Bartels is legit, the KING of negotiation. Our whole experience with them was seamless and I still pinch myself because it still feels so surreal. Our experience is one that every home buyer deserves. Personable, approachable and genuine from top to bottom. Davis, Shannon, and Chloe each of had different tasks/ roles, all of which were needed to make our experience what it was. Whether your ready to sell your house and firm on your price, they will make it happen. If your on the lookout for a perfect home within a certain price range, they've got you. But most importanly, if you're looking for a team that really cares but most importantly KNOWS HOW TO GET THE JOB DONE, look no further. Davis Bartels and his team are the people you want on your side. They are without question the best of the best in this industry and I would highly reccomend!!!!
