David Michael Young

David works with buyers and sellers throughout the Greater Houston Area. He is very knowledgeable about the nuances in many neighborhoods throughout Houston, which strengthens his ability to help people relocating to Houston from other cities. Completely satisfying his clients is David's primary concern, because satisfied clients generate repeat business and referrals.




A native Houstonian, David graduated from Memorial High School in 1980 and received a BA in finance from the University of Texas at Austin in 1984. He traveled internationally after college, then moved to California, where he cultivated a diverse management background, including two years in residential mortgage brokerage, nine years in international trade management, and six years in enterprise software sales management.



David returned to Houston in 2001, obtained his real estate license and joined his father, David H Young, in residential real estate sales. In January 2005, they started the David Young Team, bringing together top producing agents and experienced assistants to provide the highest quality service to buyers and sellers of residential real estate. They were recognized for 12 years by the Houston Business Journal as one of the Top 5 Teams in Houston, with sales volume in excess of $100,000,000 per year.




David joined Compass in October 2020, where he operates as Young Realty Group - a small team of agents and a licensed assistant that has been with them since 2014.




On a personal level, David's wife Brenda and he are very active in animal rescue. She established Save A Purrfect Cat Rescue many years ago and they, along with an army of volunteers, find homes for 250-300 cats every year. To keep fit he has practiced Tae Kwon Do since the 1990s and has been a member of the Houstonian Club since 2007. He also relieves stress by banging on his drum set.
