Dave Tall –

Managing 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 1998 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 many months. During those tough months I had the opportunity to work closely with owners and brokers of REMAX and I helped them start a new firm - Strait Realty.  We are doing business from the old RE/MAX location at 593 Fifth Ave.

I 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 250 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.
