David Longshore

Get pre-approved before you start shopping so you know exactly what you can afford and can act quickly in this competitive DFW market. Also, be patient and flexible — sometimes the perfect home may not check every single box, but with the right strategy, you can find a property that fits both your lifestyle and financial goals.

Price your home strategically from the start — buyers in DFW are savvy and will overlook an overpriced property. Combine accurate pricing with strong marketing, including professional photos, online exposure, and open houses, to attract serious buyers quickly. Small repairs and curb appeal updates can also go a long way in maximizing your home’s value.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with all types of clients — first-time homebuyers, move-up buyers, sellers, investors, and families relocating to or within the DFW area. Every client has unique needs, and I focus on tailoring the process to fit their goals.

One of my favorite recent transactions was helping my brother move after 15 years of driving over an hour each way to work. We found him a home just 12 minutes from his building in Irving, and his quality of life has improved tremendously.

After 15 years in the banking industry, I gained custody of my children and wanted a career that would allow me to be more present in their lives. Real estate gave me the flexibility to attend school events and be home more, while also letting me use my financial background to help families with one of the biggest decisions they’ll ever make.

Yes. I hold a BBA in Finance from the University of Tulsa and spent years working with banks and energy trading companies, which gave me a strong analytical and financial background. On a personal level, I’ve bought and sold multiple homes myself, so I know the common mistakes people make early on — and I help my clients avoid them to ensure a smoother, more successful transaction.
