Ever since helping launch Compass Carolinas as a founding principal in 2021, David has been the firm's top-producing individual agent. He has been included in the Triangle Business Journal’s Book of Lists “Top Real Estate Agents in the Triangle” for eight consecutive years and REAL Trends’ “America’s Best Agents” List in 2017, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. His real estate practice extends over all of Wake County and the Triangle. Additionally, he assists luxury clients in Avery and Watauga Counties, principally Boone, Banner Elk and Blowing Rock. David also founded the upper-end firm-within-a-firm Triangle Luxury Collective at Compass in 2023. His personal real estate website is here.
David enjoys the incredible diversity of homes and clients with which he works and is respected for his responsiveness, dedication, support, attention to the tiny details and passionate commitment to his clients’ best interests. David also tries, to the extent possible, to keep the real estate journey as light and fun as possible, understanding that real estate transactions frequently coincide with often-stressful major life events in one’s life.
David navigated to real estate after a 25-year career in the entertainment and performing arts world, including more than ten years as President and CEO of the North Carolina Symphony. He credits his mother and father, accomplished professional and amateur pianists respectively, for fostering his love of music. A native of the Boston area, he grew up in Newton, Massachusetts and earned his undergraduate degree in economics at Harvard.
Prior to making Raleigh his permanent home in the 1990s, David lived in cities ranging from Chicago to San Francisco and Spokane to Fort Worth, instilling in him a deeply felt appreciation of the concept of “home” and what makes every community unique and special in its own way. David is the incredibly proud father of his daughter Olivia, a senior at Appalachian State University, and he is married to Miranda Yeager, a recently retired executive from the healthcare/pharmaceuticals industry. Miranda and David's five-year-old rescue dog is Maggie (or Margaret or Maggie Moo).
They love their Raleigh neighborhood of Blenheim for its walkability, diversity of architecture, location and wonderful canine and human neighbors. In their down time, you are most likely to find David and his family rooting for the Carolina Hurricanes or Alabama Crimson Tide, enjoying a live performance at the Durham Performing Arts Center or Memorial Hall at UNC-Chapel Hill, trying out a new restaurant or spending time in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains or abroad. Recent travels have taken them to Spain, Israel, Turkey, Wales, Greece, Italy, Finland and Sweden.
David enjoys, in equal measure, helping newcomers and longtime North Carolina residents alike find their place in the world and he is excited to be a part of launching Compass in the Raleigh market.
