Background Information I was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina and currently reside in Mount Pleasant with my wife and four children. I graduated from the University of South Carolina's Business Administration Program, where I earned a degree in both Economics and Management. Upon graduation from college, I moved to New York City and worked as an Account Executive for The Xerox Corporation. During a four year stay in New York, I consulted to America Online's Small Business Web Portal as a Sales Liaison for PurchasePro, a business to business software company. Upon returning to South Carolina, I joined UBS Financial Services as a Financial Advisor on a Wealth Management team that invested and managed over $98 Million in assets. After discovering that I wanted to deal with more tangible investments and pursue my own entrepreneurial dreams of business ownership, I began to work as an apprentice for a food service franchise with the intent of opening multiple locations. Before I could ink the deal, my wife and I had a wonderful opportunity to open a dental practice and build a business together. She would provide direct patient care and I would manage all business matters. I fell in love with commercial real estate when I was opening our business. I found the space, supervised the construction (I even got suckered into painting all 2,400 square feet!) and coordinated all of the details to prepare for our opening and position us for success. The real estate component of our business has been critical to our success. When I look back on strictly the real estate in which we operate, it has been a great teacher. We were tenants, landlords, and investors and dealt with many of the attributes of commercial real estate. Small business owners need real estate on many levels to not only make their business successful, but to also make their short and long term investment objectives a reality. Real estate as an asset class is a great investment when it is properly understood. Real Estate is a tangible investment I enjoy dealing with and serving the real estate needs of my clients is something I look forward to each and every day. Please contact me the next time you are considering a transaction and let's make sure that real estate works for you no matter the real estate cycle. |

TESTIMONIALS |
Brian Gladu brian@longerdays.com 1 (800) 507-1622 ext: 610 David Seay worked with me to find a space that was perfect for the changing needs of our business. He spent time upfront to understand our situation and what we needed. He was genuinely interested in helping our business succeed and offered great ideas and helpful advice. He is a business minded individual and is keenly aware of the long-term pros and cons of different spaces and how they would affect our business. He was able to point out long-term opportunities for each space I would not have considered. Perhaps the biggest difference between he and other real estate agents I have worked with is that he was easy to reach. When I had a question, he picked up his phone and was very quick about finding the answer if he did not already know it. He usually found the answer and got back to me within the hour. When I wanted to view a space, he would set up the appointment quickly - usually we would view the space by the next morning. He was organized and punctual. He struck me as trustworthy, genuine, and well-suited for representing small businesses. We are very happy with our new location and I would recommend David to other businesses without reservation.

Pleasant, SC 29465-1992 Phone (843) 881-4995 Fax (843) 881-4009 jweston@westonlawfirm.com David did an outstanding job locating a high-quality tenant for our office building. He formulated an intelligent and detailed marketing plan, while paying careful attention to our needs and ideas. David also aggressively advertised the property and stayed on top of all prospective leads. He provided us with regular updates and always responded promptly to our inquiries. As a result of David's dedication and hard work, it did not take him long at all to find a tenant for our space, which is especially impressive in today's business environment. Dr. Jay Goldsmith Park West Veterinary Medicine I am a small business owner and have been blessed to see my business grow over the last four years. I recently recognized the need to expand into a larger space in the near future. I initially was interested in a new location with a larger footprint and asked David to look into it for me. He quickly spoke to numerous developers that he had already built relationships with to see what was available now and even five years down the road. We quickly realized that building a new practice was not going to be our best option due to the associated costs. We also felt that the available locations were not ideal for our business needs. During this time, David was wise in his recommendations and he clearly had my best interest in mind. A few months later, another opportunity arose which allowed me to expand my existing facility. Real estate is not my area of expertise so I contacted David for his guidance and professional opinion. Within 24 hours, he presented me with printed comparisons as well as good advice concerning what a fair offer would be. I contracted to purchase the space at a price I was very pleased with and am thrilled with the opportunity to expand without relocating. David is very knowledgeable, professional, and prompt. He was genuinely interested in helping me find the best commercial real estate opportunity for my business. |
