Meet David

Most agents know the market. David knows what can change the outcome.

Before becoming a Realtor with Compass, David spent more than 20 years as a California attorney and more than a decade running companies. He has also spent the last eight years building and operating his own real estate portfolio, including rental properties in Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill, so he has experienced East Bay real estate as an owner and investor, not just as an agent.

“I like being the person who can slow things down, figure out what really matters, see around corners, and help someone make a good decision.”
