Dave brings both passion and a deep sense of responsibility to his role as a Durango area Realtor. He sees himself not as a salesperson, but as a professional who guides his clients through the major life event of buying or selling a home. Dave lives and works by the motto: “Don't worry, I'll take care of it.” His clients soon learn that whether it's a problem to be solved or a detail to be managed, they can count on him to do just that. When you add Dave's patience and his genuine liking for people to the mix, you get a combination that leaves clients knowing that they have a friend and a protector as well as a guide.

Whether it takes a day or several years to find that just right home, he never pushes. Because he knows the Durango Area real estate market and its housing inventory so well, he's skilled at creating an accurate market analysis, so his listings will sell for the highest price in the least amount of time.
