It’s Not About What I Sell. It’s About What You Keep.

About David

Since 1992, I’ve guided more than 1,000 clients across Northern Virginia through successful real estate transactions with one clear focus: protecting client equity. 

I specialize in:

  • Strategic Pricing & CMA Expertise – Data-driven strategies that attract strong offers and protect equity.

  • Advanced Negotiation – Personally mentored by Jim Camp, author of Start with No. His system ensures no premature compromise and keeps my clients in control.

  • Compass Concierge – Prepare your home for market with the right updates — no upfront cost, higher net proceeds.

  • 3-Phase Marketing Strategy – A phased rollout (Private Exclusive → Coming Soon → Full MLS) that builds demand, avoids ā€œdays on marketā€ stigma, and drives stronger results.

  • Compass One Dashboard – Real-time transparency. Sellers and buyers see documents, timelines, and updates in one secure place.

  • Downsizing & Estate Sales – Helping clients manage major life transitions with discretion and care.

  • Northern Virginia Expertise – Over three decades of market knowledge in Springfield, Burke, Alexandria, Arlington, and Fairfax.

  • Trusted Advisor for Repeat Clients – Consistent results and long-term relationships built on trust and performance.

With more than three decades of experience and over 1,000 transactions, I’ve navigated every type of market. My approach blends local expertise, proven systems, and disciplined negotiation to simplify the process, reduce stress, and protect equity — always with a commitment to fair housing for every client I represent.

My promise is simple: I don’t measure success by what I sell. I measure it by what you keep. And I believe sound decisions are built on sound data. 

If you’d like to hear directly from past clients, my Google Reviews share their unfiltered experiences.

Your next move is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make. Let’s protect your equity and make it count. Call, text, or email me today to start the conversation.
