Person
David is the founder of David Hoffman Realty, an Inc. 5000 company, as well as Covenant First Mortgage and Beyond Title. David Hoffman Realty also has new homes and luxury divisions. David is consistently called on by local and national media for his expertise in real estate and economics. Over the years, his clients have come from all walks of life: from first-time home buyers and renters to high-profile clients, including professional sports figures, evangelists, actors, and actresses with multimillion-dollar listings.
Growing up in Valley Stream, near Queens, away from his mother, who lived alone in Staten Island and was paralyzed due to multiple sclerosis, David did not have the benefit of many relationships during his childhood. After leaving the house for college, David focused on making one friend at a time, always being present, and becoming the expert in his craft as quickly as possible, leading to his becoming a twenty-year-old economist.
David quickly became a nationally recognized economist in Washington, DC, while still an undergrad. David's work has been published in many major media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal and New York Times, with the US House and US Senate referencing his policy papers and economic modeling when making policy decisions.
At just twenty-four, David was realizing his dream of becoming a sports agent after being labeled nationally as the jock tax expert when, after the sudden passing of his mother, he decided to skip speaking at a sports and law conference to attend a multiple sclerosis walk in memory of his mother, whom David regretted not being able to say goodbye to. His friends said that David picked the walk over the talk. After putting the memory of his mom over his career, David decided to move south to Charlotte, North Carolina, sight unseen, leaving the rat race behind and getting a fresh start in real estate.
Today, David travels the United States and Canada, speaking at real estate and mortgage conferences, churches, and Christian concerts and music festivals on the value of the relationships in our lives, reminding many that God gives us all the gifts and people that we need to achieve our goals and dreams. He also coaches and mentors leaders of all walks of life on how they can be present and their very best both at home and in the community and marketplace.
David currently lives in Marvin, North Carolina, with his wife, Jessica, and two boys, Kane and Knox.
