Hi, I’m David Merrick. I help first-time buyers navigate the home-buying process with clarity, patience, and zero pressure. From understanding financing and inspections to knowing what truly matters in today’s market, my goal is to make sure you feel informed and confident at every step. I also work with HomeFundIt, a modern down payment strategy that allows friends and family to contribute toward your home purchase in a secure and transparent way. For many first-time buyers, this can be a smart, creative solution to help bridge the gap to homeownership without added stress or awkward conversations. As a dual-licensed agent in Oregon and Washington with Cascade Hasson | Sotheby’s International Realty, I combine local market expertise with a calm, supportive approach. My focus is simple: help you buy your first home feeling prepared, protected, and genuinely excited about what’s ahead.
