Being a husband-wife team is another asset. Both David and Sandy understand the work schedule and the commitment that it takes to be a nationally recognized real estate agent. However, they reserve the weekends for their family, including taking their two children on vacations and trips.

David describes themselves as a “hybrid breed of realtors” with new technology, different ways of marketing, and innovative ways to do business. They use data research, including an algorithm, to find and locate where buyers are coming from into their markets.

To David and Sandy, success is knowing that they helped others at the end of the day. Making people’s lives better through their expertise and skills is what it is all about for these two trusted real estate agents. They also like to give back to the community through their church and to help bring awareness and support for those with autism.
