David Culver
A Realtor's Journey of Faith, Family, and Impact
Born in Fayetteville, AR, and raised in Olive Branch, MS, David Culver's early years were shaped by his family's constant pursuit of faith and perseverance. Growing up in a fatherless home, David was determined to break the cycle and become everything he didn't have. Little did he know that his journey would lead him to a successful career as a realtor, a loving family, and a deep desire to make a difference in the lives of fatherless children.
David's path to success wasn't conventional. Instead of pursuing higher education, he joined a small used car dealership at the young age of 14. It was there that he discovered his passion for assisting people in making significant purchases and guiding them through life-altering decisions. Real estate, with its promise of freedom and flexibility, called out to him, offering an opportunity to create a better future for his family without sacrificing precious moments like school functions, holidays, and birthdays.
In 2019, David obtained his real estate license, and since then, he has been a proud member of Keller Williams Realty. His dedication and hard work soon paid off, as he received multiple awards, including the Million Dollar and Multi-Million Dollar Club, while consistently ranking in the top 20% at Keller Williams. David's career volume has already surpassed 15 million, an impressive feat considering he only became a full-time realtor in September 2022.
Throughout his journey, David has had mentors who have played pivotal roles in shaping his character and work ethic. His mother, a constant example of faith and perseverance, has been his guiding light. In addition, two living mentors and two who have passed away have emphasized the value of hard work and the importance of balancing it with family and enjoying life. Their teachings have been invaluable to David, and he cherishes the relationships he has maintained with them over the years.
David's path to success wasn't without its challenges. Coming from a fatherless home, he recognized early on that he wanted to break that cycle. He resolved to be there for his children, providing them with the love and support he didn't have. It is this determination and resolve that drove him to overcome any obstacles that came his way.
“As I got into my young adult years I always had the mindset that when I have kids I WILL be there, I WILL provide, I WILL love, I WILL be everything I didn’t have.”
Passionate about helping people make life-changing decisions and maximizing their investments, David finds immense joy in witnessing the happiness on his clients' faces. However, the most rewarding part of his business is the increased time he gets to spend with his wife, Crystal, and their two daughters, Erin and Hannah. Coaching sports with his family, engaging in church activities, and creating cherished holiday traditions are some of the ways they bond and create lasting memories together.
Real estate not only provides David with the means to pursue his dreams and goals but also allows him to give back. Currently supporting his church, he is also working on establishing his own 501c3 organization that will specifically aid fatherless children and mentor struggling fathers. His desire to make a lasting impact on the next generation and provide them with a ray of hope drives him to do more.
Outside of his professional life, David finds fulfillment in coaching and men's ministry. He is an avid fan of the Tennessee Titans and Mississippi State football, and he enjoys deer hunting and little pond bank fishing, finding solace and inspiration in nature.
For David, success is not measured solely by earthly accomplishments. He believes true success will only be realized when he stands before Jesus and hears the words, "Well done, my good and faithful servant." However, on a more tangible level, he hopes to be remembered for his faith, honesty, integrity, and authenticity.
David's message to aspiring top producers and fellow realtors is to put God first in every decision, coupled with an unwavering commitment to hard work. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining healthy relationships at every level and viewing real estate as a relational endeavor.
David's story is one of resilience, determination, and faith. From his humble beginnings in a fatherless home to becoming a successful realtor, he has used his experiences as a driving force to create a better life for himself, his family, and those around him. Through his dedication to helping others, both in real estate and in his philanthropic pursuits, David is leaving a lasting impact on his community and inspiring others to step out of their comfort zones and pursue their passions. As he continues on his journey, David remains grateful for the opportunities God has provided and seeks to be a source of hope for the next generation.
“ I want to make sure that God gets the glory for any earthly success I achieve because He gave me the abilities.”
