Luxury homes. Lake homes. Your next chapter.

The right home changes how you live.

A quiet morning on the lake. A kitchen that brings everyone together. A neighborhood that finally feels like you.

Your next home should be exciting to find and extraordinary to come home to. I'd love to help you discover it. I'll listen closely, bring a discerning eye to the search and help you move forward with a clear understanding of the home, the market and the opportunity in front of you.

Fall in love with the home.
Understand the purchase.

A remarkable property deserves a closer look. My job is to help you recognize what makes it special, understand the tradeoffs and decide whether it is right for the life you want to build.

01 / A MORE PERSONAL SEARCH

Start with the way you want to live.

Privacy, architecture, entertaining, a shorter drive or a place for the boat. We'll talk about what matters most, then build a focused search around your priorities. You deserve thoughtful recommendations and honest feedback, not a stream of homes that miss the point.

02 / A DISCERNING PERSPECTIVE

Look beyond the first impression.

I'll help you compare the setting, layout, condition and asking price with relevant alternatives. We'll identify questions for inspectors and other qualified professionals so you can explore the details that photographs and a quick showing may not reveal.

03 / AN ADVOCATE AT THE TABLE

Make your offer with purpose.

Price matters. So do contingencies, timing and the terms that fit your plans. I'll help you consider the whole offer, negotiate on your behalf and stay attentive to the details as we work toward closing.

Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota. A different perspective on coming home.
For the life you picture on the water

The lake is part of the home.

When you buy a lake home, you're choosing much more than a view. The shoreline, water depth, exposure and access can shape how you enjoy the property every day.

We'll look at how you want to use the water, from early morning paddles to afternoons on the boat. I'll help you ask the right questions about docks, shoreline conditions, seasonal changes and the approvals or restrictions worth reviewing with the appropriate professionals.

From Lake Minnetonka to other Twin Cities lakes, the goal is the same: a home and a setting that fit you beautifully.

A note from David

I want you to love where you land.

There is something special about walking into a home and beginning to picture your life there. I enjoy helping people find that feeling, then doing the careful work that helps them decide with confidence.

Tell me what you're looking forward to. More space for family and friends? A beautiful lake view? A home that reflects who you are today? I'll take the time to understand it, and I'll be candid when a property deserves a closer look or simply isn't the right fit.

As a Navy veteran and co-founder of The Dane Arthur Agency and LakePlace.com, I bring experience, perspective and personal accountability to the process. I'd be excited to put that experience to work for you.
