That background taught David how to remain composed when situations become difficult, listen carefully, make sensible decisions and pay close attention to the details that matter.

These are all qualities that have transferred naturally into estate agency, where sellers often need someone dependable, patient and clear headed by their side.

David’s route into the property industry was also a very personal one. Having bought and sold several homes over the years, he had experienced some of the frustrations and uncertainty that can come with moving. He later chose Campbells to sell his own home and was so impressed by the honest advice, communication and personal service he received that, when the opportunity arose, he decided to join the team himself.

Because of this, David understands the selling process from a client’s point of view. He knows that moving home is not simply about photographs, floorplans and arranging viewings. It can be emotional, stressful and sometimes overwhelming, particularly when there are important decisions to make or unexpected problems arise.

David knows that no two homes, sellers or circumstances are exactly the same. Rather than using the same approach for every property, he takes time to understand the home, why the owner is moving and what they need from their estate agent.

His advice is always honest and considered, particularly when it comes to the asking price, marketing strategy and the best way to achieve a successful sale. David would rather have an open and realistic conversation from the beginning than make promises he may not be able to keep.

Clients can expect David to be approachable, professional and easy to speak to. Whether he is preparing a home for the market, giving feedback after a viewing, negotiating an offer or helping a sale move forward, he works hard to ensure sellers feel informed, supported and well looked after.

Away from estate agency, David enjoys spending time outdoors with his three dogs. It keeps him active, gives him time to switch off and has helped him develop an even greater appreciation for the local countryside, villages and communities he works within.

David has already made a very positive impression on the clients he has helped. His calm nature, genuine care for people and commitment to doing things properly make him a natural fit for Campbells and someone sellers can feel confident having by their side throughout their move.
