Why David
Why buyers and sellers pick me.
The honest version. How I run a transaction, what to expect at every step, and why people keep sending their friends.
My method
The friend who happens to know real estate.
I am not your salesman. The hard close, the urgency manufactured to push a decision — that is not how this works. I am the friend who happens to know real estate, and the conversations we have should feel that way.
I will pull the data, walk the blocks, and say the quiet thing out loud when the math is not adding up. After that, the decision belongs to you. I will help you carry it through.
That is the pitch. The track record is the proof — 195 closed deals, 45 in the last year, 5.0 from 57 reviews. Pick anyone on the review pages and read what they actually say. That is who I am.

The three things you can count on.
I answer the phone.
Or text. Or email. The first thing you should expect from your Realtor is responsiveness. If I am not available the moment you reach out, you hear from me within an hour during business hours.
I tell you the truth.
About the comps, the inspection, the offer that came in light. The quiet thing said out loud. If a house has a problem, I tell you that day. If your asking price is wrong, I say it before we go to market.
I treat the deal like it is mine.
Walk every block twice. Verify the listing photos. Drive the commute. Pull the comps narrowed to your floor plan. Talk to the listing agent before you write. Show up to the inspection. Sit at the closing table.
All 14 Downriver cities, not just the popular ones.
Most Downriver Realtors specialize in 3 to 5 cities. I cover all 14 — Lincoln Park down to Frenchtown — because buyers and sellers do not always know which city is right for them yet. I drive these streets every week. I have closed on most of these blocks. When you start looking and your search expands, your Realtor should expand with it, not say 'I do not really work in that city.'
What my clients actually say.
"David was amazing to work with. He made the house buying process so much less stressful. His knowledge and experience is invaluable to buyers."
"Highly recommend David! Professional, trustworthy, and incredibly easy to work with. He made the entire process smooth and stress-free and went above and beyond to make sure everything worked out perfectly. I couldn't be happier!"
Working with a Realtor, the honest answers.
01 What makes you different from other Downriver Realtors? +
Two things. First, I cover all 14 Downriver cities — most agents focus on 3 to 5. Second, my approach is conversational, not salesy. I will tell you when not to write an offer. I will tell you when your asking price is too high. I am the friend who happens to know real estate.
02 How long have you been a Realtor in Downriver? +
Since 2018. 195 closed transactions, 45 in the last 12 months alone. 5.0 from 57 verified reviews across Zillow and Google. The track record is public — that is the point.
03 Do you work with both buyers and sellers? +
Yes. About half my work is each. Buying conversations are different from selling conversations, and the prep work is different too. But the principles — honesty, clarity, doing the work — are the same.
04 What is your average sale price? +
$273K. The price range I work in is $82K to $738K. That gives you a sense of how much of the Downriver market I actually transact in.
05 How do I get started working with you? +
Just shoot me a message. Phone, text, email, or the contact form. We will hop on a 30-minute call, you tell me what you are trying to do, I ask the questions you have not heard before. By the end of it, you know whether I am the right fit. No commitment.
