I’m David Bauer, a Realtor® with RE/MAX Advantage Plus, proudly serving Faribault, Minnesota, and the surrounding Southern Minnesota communities. My goal is to make the buying and selling process as smooth and stress-free as possible for every client I work with. Whether you’re buying your first home, upgrading, downsizing, or investing, I provide clear guidance, open communication, and a no-pressure approach that allows you to make confident, informed decisions.
Real estate is one of the biggest financial and personal decisions most people will ever make, and my role is to make that experience a positive one. I focus on understanding what each client truly wants and then tailoring the process around their goals. Every situation is different, and that’s what makes this career so rewarding — helping people find the right home, sell with success, and feel good about the process from start to finish.
I’m proud to be part of RE/MAX Advantage Plus, one of Minnesota’s top-performing brokerages and one of the most recognized real estate brands in the world. This partnership gives my clients access to top-tier marketing, exposure, and technology, while I provide the personal service and local expertise that makes all the difference. My marketing degree from Southwest Minnesota State University and my background in customer service give me a strong foundation in how to position homes effectively, negotiate strategically, and communicate clearly throughout every transaction.
I grew up in New Prague, Minnesota, and graduated from New Prague High School before earning my degree in Marketing from Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall. With deep family roots in the Faribault area, I know Southern Minnesota inside and out. Today, I proudly call Faribault home and focus my work throughout this region — from Mankato to Rochester, the South Metro to Albert Lea, and everything in between. I’ve built lasting relationships with clients and local professionals who share my commitment to honesty, integrity, and community.
My approach to real estate is simple: listen first, guide with expertise, and make the process as smooth as possible. Clients often tell me they appreciate my calm, straightforward communication style and my ability to remove stress from what can otherwise feel like an overwhelming process. Whether it’s explaining each step clearly, using data to price a property competitively, or negotiating in my clients’ best interest, I strive to make every move a positive one.
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll usually find me outdoors, cooking, traveling, or catching a local game. I enjoy being involved in the community through the Chamber of Commerce, local fundraisers, and school sports. Staying connected to the people and places that make Southern Minnesota great helps me stay grounded and always aware of the local pulse that drives our market.
If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Southern Minnesota, I’d love to connect. Whether you’re ready to take the next step or just want to ask a few questions, I’m here as a resource. With RE/MAX Advantage Plus behind me and a dedication to personal service, I’ll make sure your real estate experience is one you can feel good about — start to finish.
