It’s the most productive real estate network in the world*.

A globally recognized figure in real estate, Dave frequently shares his insights with live audiences and in media interviews, as well as through his podcast, Ambition and Grit. He’s active on social media, too, and you can follow him on Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn.
