Brown Harris Stevens

Most New Deals at BHS (January 2022)

David is a full service salesperson with a broad professional knowledge of the real estate market from condo, co-op and townhouse sales to rental and multi-family properties. His attention to detail is the essential element in his success and his strong sense of responsibility to his clients is evident whether guiding them through the requirements of condo and co-op boards or representing his clients’ interests through the sometimes daunting process of a townhouse sale.

Through the years, David has developed a specialization in townhouse sales. A student of historic preservation, he began his career with a focus on homes in need of preservation and renovation and that required the patience and thoughtful care necessary to prepare them for sale at their highest potential. David has made a career of working with clients to enhance their properties. By assessing the strengths and needs of each property and assembling the right team of painters, stagers, and contractors needed to add the finishing touches, David is able to market and show a property to its best advantage and highest value.

Preparing a property for sale is just one part of the process and David is proud to offer his clients the extensive and sophisticated marketing power of Brown Harris Stevens Brooklyn. Nothing is spared in the carefully designed presentation materials for each property from professional floor-plans and photography to print and digital advertising across the broadest range of media. David’s most valuable asset is a constant and growing clientele of both buyers and sellers, which affords him the opportunity for matching clients with the properties that fit their needs.

A former appraiser of art and antiques, David turned his attention to real estate; a profession that allows him to combine his passion for art and design with his fascination for historic and contemporary architecture. David’s interest in architecture began as a student at Loyola University in New Orleans where he graduated with a degree in Communications. David is also a graduate of the Christie’s Education, Fine and Decorative Arts Course, London.

A native New Yorker, David lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn. His spare time is devoted to volunteer efforts at New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital and the restoration of his family’s 19th century farmhouse in the Hudson Valley.

David is an incredibly skilled real estate agent, a patient and kind tutor of the process of the buying-and-selling home, a true Brooklynite with a deep knowledge of the various neighborhoods, and an amazing person.

David represented us for the sale of our 1-bedroom Co-Op apartment in Park Slope, and the purchase of a 3-bedroom Condo a few blocks away.Initially, we engaged with him for the sale only: even with the pandemic ongoing and through a ‘buyer’ market, he showed optimism and enthusiasm and was able to sell our apartment at a good price and to a very good candidate.

Immediately we understood we wanted to have David walk us through the purchase of our new home as well. He has been a wise and fun adviser to work with, helping us without ‘pushing’, and guiding us through our choices and preferences with grace. We ended up buying an apartment we love at a very good price.

We worked with David for 6 long months, through various challenges, and difficulties. Always available to pick up the phone and chat through an issue, to support us, and to keep smiling when we were being negative.

I would recommend David to anyone looking for a real estate agent. We will call him again when we will be ready for our next home, for sure.

Thanks for everything, David!
