Dave has been In Real Estate since the mid-80s. He has over $1,00,000,000 in career sales and is consistently in the top 1% of all REALTORS in Central Texas for over 20 years.

Dave started his career driving buyers around all day selling $10,000 mobile home lots – it was very motivating. He never turned away business…if he could sell it, he would list it. If he had a buyer, he would sell them. As a result, his business grew with a very diverse clientele and portfolio. Many of his clients started with nothing and are now hugely successful as well.

Dave has earned their business and as a result, the majority of his business is repeat and referral. He does this every day with a phenomenal support team and an incredible company that he joined a little over one year ago. As successful as he was, he didn’t realize that there was so much more untapped potential until joining Keller Williams Realty. He has barely tapped into their resources and training and has increased his business nearly 100%. The journey from $10,000 mobile home lots to sales averaging well over $1 billion, while getting to live and work in Austin, Texas has been a blessing. Specializing in ranches, luxury and waterfront and having represented some of the most amazing properties and clients in Central Texas has been an incredible life journey.

As he closes in on over $1,000,000,000 in career sales, he has not forgotten his roots and he continues to list and sell all price ranges of both residential and ranch properties. He has a great team and amazing agents to assist with anyone’s real estate needs. To sum it up, he would say we do more diverse properties in more different areas than anyone.

Along for the ride and putting up with him for 25+ years are his wife and six children. They love to travel, snow ski, go to the beach, and hike. He also has a ranch that he retreats to with family and friends where they often have gatherings of 30 to 40. His wife’s Cajun and comes from a large family so they know how to cook, party and have fun.
