Since joining ResortBrokers in 2022, David has established himself as a highly regarded motel and caravan park specialist in regional Queensland.

He has one of the highest transaction rates of any of our broker team, having sold 28 accommodation assets with a combined asset value of over $59 million in the last two years, including $22 million this year alone.

His notable sales include Trip Motel Gatton (formerly Rooms Motel – Gatton), Stay Motel – Gympie, Mapleton Cabins & Caravan Park, Sands Caravan Park (Leopold), Dragon & Phoenix (Moree) and Noosa Heads Motels.

Prior to ResortBrokers, David enjoyed a sucessful career in the property and automotive sectors.

He moved to Queensland in the early 1990s where he worked as a senior auctioneer and manager with some of Australia’s leading motor auction houses.

In 2004, he established a specialist plant and equipment valuation business based in Brisbane working predominately for Australia’s leading financial institutions and law firms for business asset valuation and refinance purposes.

Three years later, he purchased a Big4 Holiday Park in northwest Queensland and developed the park into one of the best inland tourist parks in Australia. The park was sold by ResortBrokers in February 2014.

After relocating to northern New South Wales, David took up a position as Dealer Principal / General Manager with a multi-site, multi-franchise motor dealership.

Six years later, he was enticed back to the tourism industry taking a Park Manager contract role in Byron Bay with Reflections Holiday Parks, which manages Crown reserves in NSW.

Possessing a practical business mind and no-nonsense approach, David is able to deliver optimal outcomes for all parties in business sales and acquisitions.

“As a previous holiday park owner with a 25-year career in sales and business ownership across a range of industries, I know how to talk to operators and understand their businesses,” says David. “I’m old school. What you see is what you get. What I say I’m going to do, I do.”
