SERVICE
I have been active in the local Real Estate Market for 6 years and over 20 years in Santa Barbara, Ca., Providing Personal Professional Service in:
  • Marketing Homes
  • Finding Homes
  • Building Wealth Through Real Estate
I am licensed to practice Real Estate in both Nevada and California at Lake Tahoe, Truckee and the Reno/Carson Regional Areas. Therefore, I provide broad exposure in marketing or finding properties for my clients. I help people buy and sell investment properties and am experienced with IRS Code 1031Tax Deferred Exchange procedures.

Having developed a fiduciary talent for discussing and assessing people needs, I work to:
  • Consult with you rather than sell you.
  • Inform you so you can decide.
  • Represent and protect your interests.
  • Buffer you from the challenges of selling or buying a property.
  • Review offers and your options.
  • Negotiate for you any differences.

KNOW HOW
I work with a 12 Step Marketing or Searching Plan to get your home or investment sold or bought. I would like to present these steps to you in detail as to how and why it works. My marketing or searching skills are enhanced by my in depth knowledge of the local market place, my in place network with fellow professionals and business Contact Davids developed over the years.this adds up to exposure for the seller or the buyer and knowing who and where to go to get things done.

Recently I graduated as an "e-Pro" Internet Professional learning and using the latest electronic and computer technologies such as:
  • Our proprietary "web based internet" Multiple Listing Service systems for marketing and searching properties with two way communication e-mail so we can stay in touch.
  • My web site for Seller Home Evaluations and Buyer Home Searches plus Informative Reports so you can make good decisions at www.HomeValuesTahoeTruckee.com
  • My direct and target mail campaigns with listing data and digital pictures that can be processed through the Internet, Post Cards and Full Color Flyers and Magazine Ads.
Disclosure is a must in Real Estate today. I guide you through the complexity of Federal, State and Local disclosure requirements covering all the bases for you.

I give you a Marketing Strategy and a Calendar Plan of Action with a Seller's Activity Report or a Searching Strategy and Inventory Update with a Buyer's Activity Report so you feel confident that things are being done to get your property marketed and sold or found and bought.

BACKGROUND
Graduating with a BA degree from the University of Detroit, MI, with a major in Psychology and a minor in Philosophy laid a great foundation for my "people and communication skills". Eight years of manufacturing experience in Production & Material Control scheduling and expediting developed efficiency and results oriented skills. My hundreds of transactions honed my Real Estate skills. My wife, Barbara, and I live in Incline Village, NV. We have raised five children. Barbara, a graduate of University of California at Santa Barbara, substitutes at Incline Village Elementary after a 25 year teaching career. We enjoy the mountain and lake life style at Lake Tahoe.

FINAL RESULTS
I will market and sell your property or find and help you buy the 21st century way.then carefully review escrow with you and monitor escrow aggressively until closed so nothing falls through the cracks. I coordinate with the inspectors, loan officers, government officials, title officer and escrow officer and work any problems to resolution so the escrow closes on time. This way you get the most money, the quickest sale, with the least problems.or get the best home, competitively priced, with the least troubles.

-Roland & Anna Lafferty

"Dave kept us on top of the inventory by e-mail with the hot new listings including pictures so we could hone in on a condominium project .and he got us the condo we wanted since he had us informed and ready to make an offer before two others did."
-Terry Bartles

"We looked from Kings Beach to Truckee to Incline Village for a Second Home, then from Dave's inquiries he got us to settle in on Incline Village since our children are on the high school swim team and he mentioned the private beaches, the Olympic Pool at the Recreation Center and all the other amenities. When he e-mailed us a great condo with pictures, we jumped on it and beat out 2 other offers!"
