Whether you are buying or selling, my task as your Realtor will be to bring reality to your dreams!
The Challenges created by your particular needs are what I thrive on, and having served in the Israeli Special Forces, IDF Navy SEALs Unit, for me, challenges are there to be overcome.
Sometimes the hard part is not finding your home or your buyer, but getting through to a successful closing, and that is where I will be whole-heartedly at your service, working for you through to closure, determined to see your dreams fulfilled.
I thoroughly enjoy explaining the buying or selling process in detail and will stay in close communication with you, to keep you informed. My clients know they can phone/ text/ email me at any time and I will be there for them. If you don't get a hold of me or hear back straight away I am either with another client, at Church/volunteer activities, or giving my family some of the same quality time I give to my clients.
I enjoy long-term relationships based upon the trust built through serving my clients, having learned the true value of lasting relationships through customer satisfaction when I managed my own custom Home Building Company (including log and timber frame homes) for 15 years, before moving to Whidbey Island.

For Buyers & Sellers

BUYERS: My extensive knowledge about homes works in your favor as I navigate you through the home buying process. I see past the color on the walls to the potential of the floor plan, taking into consideration everything 'under the hood'.
Ultimately the choice is yours, but helping you to see the pros and cons to weigh is my specialty.
SELLERS: My experience comes in handy getting your house ready for marketing, including the professional photographer which I hire to photograph your home. I believe strongly in the value of careful market research which will help you reach the best listing price, to give you the highest possible value in the least amount of time.

For The Record

Living by the Book, I find the wisdom of "Whatever you want people to do for you, you do the same to them" reaps great rewards in every field of life, my dedicated service as a Realtor included. Furthermore, using my experience and acquired skills to serve others comes naturally. Call me at 360 9690497 or email dsalinger@windermere.com

For Your Interest

Born in NZ to Kiwi parents, we moved to live in Israel when I was still young. After college and military I met my beautiful wife, Holly, when she came to Israel as a volunteer from the States. We both fell head over heels instantly, and married shortly after. When we came as a family in 2004 to Whidbey Island for the first time (to build my in-laws their home), we both fell in love with this beautiful Island, and chose to come and raise our five children here in this kid-friendly place (two kids in elementary school, two in middle school, and one in high school). In fact you will probably see us around, exploring the outdoors, at Church/volunteering activities, on a sports team, or out running just for the joy of it. Life on Whidbey Island is to be enjoyed!
