About David

Same guy,
every time.

No sales persona, no switch to flip. The David you meet at the first coffee is the one in your corner on offer night.

A little
about David.

I'm a dad, a husband and a Toronto real estate guy who pays attention to the details.

I know the school drop-offs, the rush to swim class, the traffic and the little things that can make a big difference in everyday life. When we're looking at a home, I'm thinking beyond the finishes and square footage. I'm thinking about how you'll actually live there — the good, the bad and everything in between.

And when it's time to make a deal, experience matters. I know this market, I know how to read a room, and I've built a network that often opens doors before an opportunity ever hits the market. I'm persistent, strategic and not easily rattled. I know what my clients are trying to achieve, and I know how to fight for it.

When it's time to sell, my mom says I have impeccable taste. My wife might disagree. So I bring in my trusted trades and some of Toronto's best creative talent, to make sure every home is presented at its very best.

Easy to be around. Hard to play against.

Good
questions.

What's my home worth right now?

It depends on what's sold near you in the last few months, not what an online estimate says. Send me your address and I'll come back with a real number and the sales behind it.

Should we sell first or buy first?

Selling first means you know exactly what you can spend. Buying first locks in the place you love, but you may need bridge financing and a firm deadline to sell. Most of the time, I'll line up both closings so they land within days of each other.

I'm a first-time buyer. What help is out there?

More than most people think, from land transfer tax refunds to the First Home Savings Account and the RRSP Home Buyers' Plan. Rules change, so your lawyer and lender will confirm what you qualify for. I'll walk you through it before you start looking.

I'm new to Canada. Can you help?

Absolutely, it's one of my favourite parts of the job. We'll go through credit, deposits and how offers work here, step by step.

How do you get paid when I buy?

Before we start, we'll sign a buyer representation agreement that spells it out. I'll walk you through every line before you sign.
