When David Hicks decided to make the Monterey Peninsula his home, he felt the way most of his clients feel: there couldn’t be a better place to live. Today, having achieved his own dream of putting down roots in this exceptional area, he graciously serves the buyers and sellers of some of the world’s most desirable properties in Carmel and Pebble Beach.

Born and raised in California, David graduated from UC Irvine and embraced a rewarding career as a high school special education teacher. It was an impactful role that required compassionate communication, a sensitive approach, and an ability to listen deeply and discern needs both spoken and unspoken, all of which he now brings into his real estate negotiations to the proven benefit of his clients.

In a highly competitive luxury market, David is a true performer – a steadfast advocate for his clients’ interests – who recognizes that real estate transactions are often the most personal and financially consequential of people’s lives. He’s connected to a vast network of the industry’s most respected professionals: inspectors, photographers, and others who share his commitment to bringing about the highest and best result for buyers and sellers.

Clients looking for a trusted partner and long-term advisor will find one in David, as he believes the most rewarding relationships last beyond the close of escrow. In any situation, they know they can rely on him for quality referrals and perceptive market insights. Buyers receive first notice of off-market, discreet, and “coming soon” opportunities, and sellers experience David’s expert touch when it comes to preparing, marketing, and beautifully showcasing their homes to fetch the highest possible price.

David’s wife and two daughters know him as a lifelong sports fanatic and loving father. His clients recognize the same passion and competitive spirit that make him a standout in his profession. For them, the choice is simple. Time and again, David Hicks has demonstrated that he’ll handle their most valuable assets – their magnificent homes – with unwavering care and diligence.
