Respectful. Honest. Professional.

About me 

There are consistent themes in the scores of recommendations David Watson has received over his 35 year career. Calm. Considered. Tenacious negotiator regardless of market conditions. Refreshing. Absolute integrity. Unmatched knowledge of the Northern Beaches market. The first and last principle of David's governing philosophy is to operate with his client's interests always uppermost in his mind, and everything else flows in the right direction.

A Licensed Real Estate Agent and Sales Manager for LJHooker's Avalon office, David also has a reputation for breaking sales price records on some of the most exclusive properties on the peninsula, specialising in Avalon Beach, Clareville and Bilgola Beach. While many of his most celebrated sales have topped the $13M - $15M range, David also successfully negotiates on more affordable properties, particularly on behalf of his repeat clients and referral business.

Year on year, David Watson has been recognised as one of the top five salespeople in the entire LJHooker network of 730 offices, including the number one position in several years. After three decades, and with tremendous success through all sorts of market conditions, David is still doing precisely what he wants to be doing - it's an approach to both life and business that has served him and his clients remarkably well.

"Throughout our dealings, I found David to be knowledgeable, professional, courteous and carefully considered in his advice. More importantly, I believe he operates with his client's interests always uppermost in his mind; a feature not common in his profession, where many agents will simply prioritise getting a result, as opposed to the optimum result."
- Louis Carroll-

"Dear David, thank you for the outstanding job you executed so brilliantly. We are very grateful. The journey has been a wonderful experience, and the result just fantastic."
- Glenn and Rebecca Lee-


"David, your detailed knowledge of the properties which have sold in the area, your logical advice on comparative property values, your regular reports (oral and written) on inspections and your uncanny analysis of buyer interest was most impressive."
- Lewis and Rachelle Goldman-

"You exceeded our expectations in your tenacity, ability to attract and work buyers, read the real situations, deal with very difficult and unexpected challenges and finally close the deal at a price we had agreed. Having dealt with a number of realtors in the past, it our assessment that you are the best, most professional and effective in the business."
-Hany and Jodie Fam-

"Your knowledge of the area and empathy with the seller and potential buyers is second to none. That coupled with the integrity you display, both with respect to the seller and buyer has ensured a successful and happy transaction, in our case, in what most describe as 'challenging' market conditions."
-Peter Dexter-


"David, your market knowledge, network of potential buyers, cool head and sound advice kept us on track and provided the support we needed to keep up the momentum of the sale campaign. The final result is a testimony to your skill and ability."
- Ian and Anne Burns-

"Thank you, David! As they say, 'Nobody does it better'........."

"Kaye and I wish to express our sincere appreciation on the way in which you managed the sale of our property on the Serpentine at Bilgola Beach. Your knowledge of the area and empathy with the seller and potential buyers is second to none. That coupled with the integrity your display, both with respect to the seller and the buyer has ensured a successful and happy transaction in our case in what most describe as 'challenging' market conditions. We are well qualified David to acknowledge your professionalism, given that this is the fourth transaction that we have been involved in with you, both as a buyer and seller. Your knowledge of the Northern Beaches coupled with the entire LJ Hooker Avalon team is exceptional and we will have no hesitation in advising others that there is only one team to go to if you want to buy or sell on the Northern Beaches".
