Why buy on the Gulf Coast with David

  • A builder’s eye on every home. Elevation, construction type, roof age, windows and seawalls matter more on the coast. I look at the house the way a licensed builder does, before you write an offer.
  • Insurance and flood questions answered up front. As a licensed insurance agent, I help you understand flood zones, wind mitigation and what coverage may cost before you fall in love with a home.
  • Condo due diligence. Florida now requires milestone inspections and stronger reserves for many condo buildings three stories and up. I’ll help you review the association’s reports before you buy.
  • One guide from Minnesota to Florida. Licensed in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Florida, I can help you sell up north and buy on the Gulf with one plan.

Find your place on the Gulf

Share what you’re looking for and I’ll send hand-picked homes, set up private showings, and pull the history on any home you’re curious about.
