David Bates

Dave Bates created and presented First Time Home Buyer and Real Estate Investment seminars that not only attracted thousands of local real estate enthusiasts but more importantly, empowered many to buy their first properties. Perhaps those accomplishments alone-- empowering agents, buyers, and investors--should have put Dave on a Boston Real Estate VIP list. But then Dave did some things to improve the quality of life of not just buyers but sellers as well. In building his listing representation skill set, Dave didn't just seek to represent the homes of past customers or close friends or the acquaintances of former clients. Instead, he took on two of the most challenging selling demographics in all real estate, demographics that other agents shiver in fear when asked about: people who didn't think they needed a professional real estate agent to sell their home (For Sale by Owners) and people whose home had failed to sell with other agents and brokerages (expired listings). Dave's approach in these areas saw success for sellers on Marion Street in Brookline, on Mount Vernon Street in Beacon Hill and on Gladstone, Prescott, and Princeton Streets in East Boston -- as well as several other representations and communities.
