With nearly eight years in real estate, David is more than a broker to his clients. His honesty, ethical approach, professionalism, and friendly nature have made him beloved by his clients, many of whom have become good friends. He has worked with clients through major milestones including marriages and children, as they continue to put their trust in David's expertise and guidance.

David doesn't just get his clients to a closed deal: he provides white-glove service on all aspects of the process, connecting them to attorneys, movers, painters - all the individuals who can make the process smoother for his clients.

David works with a range of clients, from renters and sellers to buyers and investors. Regardless of the type or size of the deal, he puts himself in his client's shoes, considering what he would do if he were the one making the decision. Having loyal clients makes me happy," David says. "I give them more than 100%."

A graduate of Yeshiva University, David has a background in finance. He previously worked as an underwriter at a financial institution, where he organized transactions and developed his ability to oversee a deal from start to finish.

David's longtime interest in architecture and helping people invest in property led him to real estate. Between his first foray into real estate at a small East Village firm - and his time at Corcoran, where he partnered with one of the top agents in the nation and was recognized as one of the firm’s Top 20 Rental Agents in Manhattan in 2017 - to his arrival at Halstead, he has expanded his business significantly and developed a vast client network. David now has experience in new development sales and his network extends far beyond New York City. He is currently cultivating his growing business in Los Angeles and Israel. With his local expertise and international background, David effortlessly works with clients of all cultures, across the city as well as around the world.

David speaks both Hebrew and Farsi. In his free time, he travels the world, plays tennis and volleyball, bikes, skis, goes to the beach, and often visits family in California and Israel. He also loves learning about history and architecture, especially the ways people utilized their homes across cultures and time periods. Passionate about giving back to the community, he also supports a nonprofit in West Harlem that helps families and the elderly.

"I highly recommend David when it comes to renting/buying in New York City. David was incredibly kind and really went out of his way to ensure all of my apartment needs were met.

David was incredibly professional, and I would happily use him again if I need to move." Beth H.

"I wanted to take the time to thank David for helping me find the perfect apartment. David was AMAZING and made the entire process super easy. He began by asking me in detail what I wanted and needed in the apartment, then went to work. He was very timely and sent multiple apartments that exceeded my expectations. If I had any questions David answered them immediately, and if he did not know the answer he followed through with the answer. I would HIGHLY recommend David to anyone and will be using him in the future to find my forever home. Thank you David for everything, you made my move to New York way less stressful!" - Ashlea
