“One of radio’s biggest differentiators is the ability to be live and local. Dave really understands that by harnessing DJs/talent for endorsement opportunities to increase revenues for the stations and local businesses. At the end of the day, the client’s success is our success. These campaigns are sold as premiums to clients, and Dave really does a great job explaining the benefits and what they can expect based off his years of experience in the business. His knowledge and expertise are top notch. He is very hands on and takes the time to develop relationships. I truly consider Dave as part of my team; he has really helped me grow.”
Dmitri Biba, Senior Account Executive Hubbard Broadcasting, West Palm Beach FL
“Dave sat down with us, explained the whole process, then tailor-made our radio strategy to attract high-end sellers in our market. Dave landed the #1 Radio Host to exclusively endorse us, set up the entire campaign, and we immediately got a response from our first radio ad. In fact, that first radio deal brought us a GCI of $9,000. In the past 9 months, radio has produced 58 inbound calls from “Come List Me” sellers and is by far our #1 generator of “Come List Me” leads. I highly recommend Dave and would encourage you to put him at the top of your list if you’re thinking of doing radio advertising. He is highly respected in the radio industry and has a lifetime of experience as a radio personality, station manager, and advertising agency consultant for motivated real estate agents. If you’d like to know more about Dave, give me a call.”

“Dave has truly been a pleasure to work with. Our team had never implemented “Radio” as a lead source for our real estate business, but since we started it has been a game changer. Not only does it provide a great return for our business, but Dave has been so easy to communicate with & make changes as necessary for our business. Whether we are changing out the ad that is running on the station or have questions about our billing, he is always so quick to respond. During our time with Dave, he has also helped us strategize when it came to adding, switching, or removing a radio station. The market is always changing & it is vital that you work with people that know and understand that about this industry. If you are considering Radio as a lead source for your business with Dave, we say go for it! Highly recommend it.”
Courtney Hayek, Senna House Buyers, Houston TX
