From the start, David was exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. As a fellow REALTOR® representing the buyer, I especially appreciated his thoughtful communication and deep understanding of the new construction process. His integrity and collaborative approach made the entire experience a positive one. Even when the deal ultimately didn’t move forward during the option period (for reasons unrelated to David), he remained courteous, helpful, and gracious throughout. To Heights homeowners considering selling, I highly recommend David. His in-depth knowledge of the neighborhood and market trends makes him a standout choice for anyone looking to list with confidence and success." Read more

“David is a fantastic and knowledgeable agent who steered me and my wife in the ... “David is a fantastic and knowledgeable agent who steered me and my wife in the right direction on our recent home purchase in West University. Like many attorneys, I can be a difficult and exacting client. I have the bad habit of porting from my practice the same demands placed on me regarding responsiveness, detail orientation, and client service. For most agents, this would be a complete nightmare scenario. But David handled the client relationship with grace and truly impressive professionalism. Importantly, David has a keen eye. He notices things about homes that other agents miss. He has a great instinct about how a home will trade based on factors material and immaterial to the homes value (current and potential). He has a strong sense of pricing and relative value on million-dollar-plus homes and can direct a discerning buyer to make a smart decision based on that buyers unique objectives. For me and my wife, we wanted a home in a great school district, within walking distance of restaurants and shops, and at a /sf that was more commensurate with normal market conditions. In spring 2021, when everything was flying off the market in a day at bubbly prices, this was a real challenge. But David figured it out. While we hadnt considered West U, David directed us to a home in the eastern portion within walking distance to Rice Village, zoned to West U Elementary, and trading at a /sf that was, in my view, at least 20% undervalued and would trade up to market value with some basic remodeling. The inspection report was surprisingly clean, and now my wife and I life in a wonderful home (and can afford to customize it to our liking) in a wonderful neighborhood zoned to a wonderful school within walking distance to great shops and restaurants, all at a price that left us with funds left over and a nice equity cushion should we ever need to move (not that we plan on it). I am emphatically positive about Davids role in all of this because had he not had a good read on me, and had he not understood the client-home fit was right and worthy of advocating for, I likely would have passed on my home and West U because of facial, aesthetic issues that we are now actually excited to remodel. David got me to see the light and realize something about what I wanted in a home that I wouldnt have but for his savvy eye, understanding of the market, and understanding of his clients wants/needs (perhaps better than his clients understand their own wants/needs). I offer David my highest recommendation. He will not steer you wrong. If youre looking to buy (or sell), call him today." Read more

All of his recommendations came after thorough analysis, and my husband & I had great confidence in his advice. He staged our home, had beautiful photos and descriptions on HAR, plus he helped coordinate all repairs prior to an expedited closure. I will be recommending him to all my friends. I learned of him by the great experience of a prior neighbor. He exceeded my expectations!" Read more
