David Lawrence is a licensed Broker Associate with Realty ONE Group MPV in Punta Gorda Florida. Originally hailing from Virginia, after attending college at Hampden-Sydney College and Virginia Commonwealth University, David spent several years in the Hospitality industry. In 1994, David entered the Document Management industry, where his outside sales career spanned the next 24 years, receiving consistent recognition for excellence and regularly attaining President's Club awards in his 10-year tenure as a Regional Branch Manager in the Charlottesville, Virginia area. In late 2012, David and his wife Bobbie, a Registered Nurse, acquired a second home in the warmer climates of Southwest Florida, an area they both loved. As often happens, their fondness for Southwest Florida, preference for the warmer weather and proximity to the Gulf of Mexico led to the decision in 2015 to make Florida their full-time home. Relocating to Florida marked a significant turning point in David's professional journey, when he entered the Real Estate Industry. Within two years he became a licensed Florida Real Estate Broker. After building and leading a successful team of 12 agents, David transitioned to Realty One Group, when he partnered with Michael Burke and Hunter Habib at the Paradise Luxury Group. Today, David and Bobbie live on the water in Punta Gorda where they share their home with their cats, Jake, and Abby. In their spare time, you can find them out on their sailboat, Abide. If you are searching for a dream home, are looking for a profitable investment or considering selling, David and The Paradise Luxury Group can provide the experience, expertise and guidance you need. David's proven track record of customer service excellence along with the strength of the Paradise Luxury Group at Realty One, provides both buyers and sellers a unique client service experience in the Southwest Florida area that exceeds expectations.
