I am a native New Yorker, born in Brooklyn and raised in the suburbs of Long Island. I attended the University of New Haven where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Law Enforcement Science. For twenty-five years I faithfully served as a police officer, retiring at the rank of Lieutenant. I
still have the drive to serve and help people, this time by helping people find their dream home, much like I did when I relocated to North Carolina. I understand that the process of purchasing or selling a home is a huge financial and mental investment. It is my goal to make this process more about looking forward to the joy of home ownership and helping my clients enjoy the process!
My core values of honesty, integrity and fairness and my belief in good communication will help your dreams come true!

David was very candid with his advice and information, and as an out of state buyer I was very appreciative as I had expected to get played a bit in the process. He was fair, and on point with his information and observations and helped us buy a great house. I highly recommend him.
We can’t say enough good things about working with David during our home search. We looked at homes across four different cities, and through every showing, question, and change in direction, he remained patient, positive, and eager to help. What could have been an overwhelming process felt manageable because of his dedication, responsiveness, and genuine care for helping us find the right home, not just any home. He was knowledgeable about each area, always quick to arrange showings, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. His professionalism, communication, and commitment truly stood out, and we are so grateful for all the time and effort he invested in helping our family find the perfect place. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor who goes above and beyond.
David and team were very patient and accommodating to my needs. I really didn’t know where I wanted to live and what kind of house, so I scheduled showings all over the RDU area. I lost count of how many houses I saw. I appreciate David’s candor and advice as far as strategies for making an offer. In the end I am very pleased with the house I did buy.
We wouldn't have secured our dream home in this competitive market without David Ellsworth. He and is great team behind the scenes fought for our best interests and managed to get our offer accepted under the original asking price. I highly recommend them to any serious buyer. He’s the “GOAT”!!! Mark and Gretchen
Working with David was an exceptional experience from beginning to end. He is incredibly personable, attentive, and truly dedicated to his clients. No matter how many questions we had, he always made time for us and never once made us feel like we were a bother. Relocating from Virginia to Raleigh could have been overwhelming, especially while building a new home, but David made the entire process feel seamless. He guided us every step of the way, kept us informed, and made sure everything stayed on track. What really stood out was his responsiveness and initiative. David addressed all of our concerns with a strong sense of urgency, which gave us real peace of mind throughout the process. He also took the time to think ahead for us—bringing up important questions for the home builder that we hadn’t even considered. On top of that, David is a bit of a night owl like us and was always willing to respond to our late-night questions, even when we didn’t expect an immediate reply. His professionalism, care, and commitment made this such a smooth and enjoyable experience. We couldn’t be happier with our new home and would highly recommend David to anyone looking to buy or sell—you’ll be in great hands.
