About David

I have honed my VET system (Value, Education, Process) over the 29+years I have been in the real estate industry. The breadth of my experience and knowledge spans multiple fields within the real estate space. I begin my career in the real estate business as a real estate appraiser – as such, I am keenly aware of property value. For buyers, that means being able to explain, in great detail, the value of a home based upon comparable sales, market temperature, etc. For my buyer clients, I always prepare a detailed analysis of recent sales of comparable homes in the area, and develop a potential range of values for homes that are of interest to my clients. For sellers, it means a deep dive into the value of your home, or investment property, and figuring out how to achieve the highest possible price for the sale of your home. I also have extensive experience in real estate lending. I have personally done several hundred million dollars in residential real estate loans. I have a deep knowledge of the lending and banking, and am able to walk my clients through the process along with the mortgage banker, broker or bank of my clients’ choice. I also have loads of fantastic contacts within the banking and mortgage business, so fantastic referrals are just a phone call away. I also have an MBA from UCLA, with a specialization in finance. Clients, whether experienced investors, or first-time home buyers, are given a deeper insight into the numbers and how their real estate purchase fits into their overall financial picture. I always like to prepare my clients for both current and future purchases, and to educate them on the fundamental principles of growing wealth through real estate.

Dave has forever improved the lives of myself and my family with his advice in purchasing my beautif

Dave has forever improved the lives of myself and my family with his advice in purchasing my beautiful home on Tybee Island. Dave was there for me at every step with a level of analysis that so far exceeded my expectations, and was far superior to any agent I have previously worked with on prior transactions. Dave was able to quickly analyze the different investment property options available to me, and was very thoughtful in all of his opinions. Dave advised me to pass on several options that initially looked very good to me but Dave, instead of chasing a quick commission, steered me away from options that I now see as laughably inferior to my home. I now not only enjoy spending Winter with my beautiful family on Tybee, but am also capturing an enormous amount of income utilizing my property as a short-term rental. I cannot say enough about Dave's work; if I could give him 10 stars for his help, I would! Thank you, Dave! If you are lucky enough to work with him, you will see what I mean! Incredible service! This is my second review of Dave Shorter's incredible work. Dave found me a second investment property that both allows me to spend time with my family, but also pays for itself via short-term rentals. I almost pinch myself that I now have two homes that allow me to enjoy wonderful vacations and generate income. Both of them are thanks to Dave Shorter. Without him, I never would have found myself in the lucky position where I now find myself. In this case, Dave realized that more than 1000 square feet of the home within the existing walls were unbuilt. I have since built it out and am happy to report that the home value has more than tripled from the time of my purchase! Wow-Dave is one in a million-I cannot thank him enough for the life-changing purchases that he helped me with over the last few years. I look forward to the next one, Dave!

Dave knew the area well enabling him to price my home appropriately

Dave knew the area well enabling him to price my home appropriately. He had a good marketing plan, worked with me to get things ready for selling and throughout the process. I enjoyed working with him and his plan allowed me to get above asking even in this slowing market. I would recommend him for people looking to sell in Long Beach.
