Dave Tall –

Land  Broker for 

My name is Dave Tall and I fell in love with the Olympic Peninsula and the Sequim - Dungeness valley several years ago after my father retired here from Seattle. I made the move in 1999 and started my career at John L. Scott in September. I didn’t know it then, but my timing was perfect by the time I had learned the land business Sequim like many other real estate markets around the county took off like a rocket! I won John L. Scott's highly coveted Presidents Elite award in 2003, 2004 & 2005 during Sequim’s most recent boom years. 

I started a new phase of my career with REMAX in November of 2009 just as the real estate collapse turned into a worldwide financial meltdown and recession. I stayed in the business without earning a commission check for 21 months. During those tough months I had the opportunity to work closely with Owners/Brokers of REMAX Mike and Carrie Millet who after 25 years decided to sell their franchise and start a new firm along with Pete Rutherford call Strait Realty. 

The Millet's and Rutherford's asked me to help them launch the brokerage and we opened our doors on April 1^st 2010. The four of us are some of the most successful Brokers and Agent in the county with over 70 years of combined experience and more than 1,000 transactions over the last decade between us.  We are doing business from the old RE/MAX location at 593 Fifth Ave.

I now have a home of my own, deep in the interior of the Miller Peninsula . It's on 5 acres covered with Salal, wild Rhododendrons, Madrona, Fir and Cedar trees. I work from my home or am working in the field most of the time. I'm A Broker who's a little different from what you might have come to expect and here's why. I'm a land marketing specialist who sells land exclusively or as it's known in real estate jargon a land agent or even a dirt man!  This means that I:

• Work exclusively with land sellers & buyers and am expert in getting land sold.
• Do know how land is sold in any given market especially our current market - a buyers market.
• Do understand the importance of technology in today's real estate market. I create and maintain for my clients’ properties their own web sites. Buyers can access these sites 24 hours a day - 7 days a week. I coordinate this with local and regional print advertising.
• Do not spend my weekends driving homebuyers around the county. I only work with qualified land buyers interested in my client’s properties.
• Have successfully closed over 240 land properties since 2000.
• Am an able professional and a tough negotiator.
• Understand exactly why buyers (most of whom are new to the Sequim area) want to live here.
