Who is Dave?

Raised by a hard-working mom, I grew up in Wyandotte and then Woodhaven, and still live Downriver. After attending Lawrence Technological University, I worked for 19 years as an electrical engineer in the auto industry. I was good at my job, but it wasn’t fulfilling on a personal level. I started exploring other career options and chose to go into nursing. As I was beginning that transition, a real estate opportunity popped up, and I realized that it was something I had an interest in. So, I decided to put my focus there. I obtained a Michigan realtor’s license, and began investing, eventually leaving my engineering position. Tara and I purchased our first few properties, and “flipped” them. We then started purchasing homes to turn into rentals. I take a great deal of pride in working with sellers and tenants in a respectful manner. When I am not working on house projects, or listening to Tara talk (HAHA!), I enjoy hanging out with our two dogs, working out, playing pool and pinball, and listening to podcasts. I love fishing, and any chance I get to spend time at a lake or ocean. 

Learn About Us:

We are a small, family-run business! We started our business journey while still working in our respective former careers. As we transitioned to real estate full time, we found that working together is fantastic. Each of us brings strengths and skill sets that combine in a way that benefits not only ourselves and our business, but the clients who we work with. Though we are very different in our personalities – Tara is more of the extrovert, while Dave is the quiet one – we complement each other well. Over the years, we have become extremely knowledgeable about all things related real estate and houses. We have rehabbed many homes – from those needing light cosmetic work, to run-down and hoarded homes, to severely damaged homes. We’ve found that we are able to help people with the sale of their property, especially when they find themselves in a situation where they need a quick and easy sale, or they have a home that will be difficult or impossible to sell the traditional way. We pride ourselves in being honest and transparent. We will look at each seller’s specific situation and tell you what your options are. If your best option is to list a home for sale in the traditional way, we can help you with that as well! Downriver is our home, so it is important to us to run our business with integrity and maintain a stellar reputation within our community.
