With a passion to pass on his expertise and help people grow in the business, he developed these major growth changes, starting with the expansion of five LJ Hooker franchises across the Gold Coast. In 2015 he fostered LJ Hooker Robina. Following in 2017 Dave purchased Mudgeeraba, followed by Burleigh Heads and Burleigh Heads Commercial in 2018, with his latest achievement being the LJ Hooker Mermaid Beach office and Coast & Country Financial Services in 2019.

Dave strives to ensure the home buying and selling process is fun, easy and stress-free. With this vision agreed upon with his staff, he directs 40 agents that sell 600 homes a year, they manage 500 properties in their property management division and finance over $100,000,000 properties a year. With a database of 60,000 plus customers he makes sure the LJ Hooker team services all clients with the best outcome in every transaction.
