Senior Team Leader
My mission in this lifetime is to impact as many lives as possible. To really live this mission means providing all the knowledge I have accumulated over 30 years selling 2000 plus homes to every Buyer, Seller and Investor that I meet. I feel that my life’s work is all about making sure that all my clients including those who my 15 Broker Agents serve are supported with unparalleled service to ensure that they make a Good Decision surrounding the biggest investment transaction of their lives. Whether it is a first-time buyer buying their first home, a corporate transferee relocating across the country, a seller looking to downsize or moving out of state, a sophisticated investor flipping a home or a landlord looking for a tenant, I will be there from the beginning to the end, walking them step by step in this journey of buying/selling real estate. I commit to be the true professional that they can trust to provide them with unsurpassed first class real estate service as I support them with their life’s goals in real estate. My purposeful core values of God, family first, integrity, passion and protection will be very transparent in how I will be as a partner to make their experience smooth, easy, stress-free and yet fun and enjoyable.

David E. Goodchild
ABR, CDPE
Residential Real Estate Agent
I am a second-generation realtor and my most valuable experience with homes came during my early twenties, working in construction, building homes from the ground up. I became very intimate with the different components of a home and the proper construction of a home. Now as a Realtor I find this information vital to my clients. I keep an eye out for things that may give the homeowner problems in the future. I also manage the bank-owned (REO) and relocation (RELO) properties for my team. This gives me a strong knowledge of today’s market. During my 18 years in real estate, I’ve worked with many first time home buyers, investors, short sales, landlords, and renters and love to help them all reach their real estate goals all while maintaining a collaborative and stress-free experience.
