How David Works
A short, clear read on what working together looks like.
Independent, Not Volume-Driven
David focuses his practice on individual buyer and seller guidance. Before engaging, agree who will attend showings, handle negotiations, coordinate documents, and respond when a deadline is approaching.
Built on the Compass Platform
David works through the Compass brokerage platform and national agent network. Review the property-specific marketing plan, deliverables, and communication responsibilities before choosing representation.
Lake Keowee First
David concentrates on Lake Keowee, Lake Jocassee, The Cliffs, Old Edwards Reserve, and the surrounding Upstate corridor. Water depth, dock eligibility, and membership rights still require current property records and the responsible operator’s confirmation.
What David Will Tell You
Three honest commitments that shape every engagement.
When the Numbers Don’t Work
If a list price is aspirational or a buyer's underwriting doesn't model out, you'll hear that directly — before the listing agreement is signed or the earnest money moves. The most expensive thing a luxury client can do is hire an advisor who tells them what they want to hear.
When a Different Community Is the Right Answer
If you came in convinced you wanted Cliffs Vineyards and the actual fit is Old Edwards Reserve — or Keowee Springs, or Keowee Key — that's the conversation we'll have. The right community is the one that matches the way you actually plan to spend time on the property.
When the Right Move Is Not to Move
Sometimes the most useful conversation is the one that ends with 'don't sell yet,' or 'don't buy this one.' David's practice is built on long-tenured client relationships, which only happens when the advisor is willing to leave a transaction on the table.
