Bio
David Ten Cate is a graduate of Calvin College (now University) and the University of Minnesota Law School and has been a practicing attorney since 1991. Ten Cate’s legal career focused primarily on real estate, small business, and transactional matters. Ten Cate obtained his Michigan real estate broker’s license in 2002, and in April of 2004, Ten Cate founded Capstone Real Estate, LLC. Ten Cate is a member of the Grand Rapids-based Commercial Alliance of Realtors, the West Michigan Lakeshore Association of Realtors, the Michigan Association of Realtors, and the National Association of Realtors. He has served on the Board of Directors for a number of organizations, including the Grand Haven/Spring Lake/Ferrysburg Chamber of Commerce, the Grand Haven Main Street Downtown Development Authority, the Ottawa County Bar Association, Love in Action of the Tri-Cities (formerly Love INC of the Tri-Cities), and the West Michigan Lakeshore Association of Realtors. Ten Cate holds the coveted Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation, which is the most widely-recognized commercial and investment real estate designation in the country. I am a "recovering attorney" who has worked in the commercial real estate world for over 25 years. I started Capstone almost 20 years ago, and it has grown into a well-respected team of professionals who assist clients buy, sell, develop, manage and finance their real estate holdings. I am a results-oriented leader with real-life expertise in problem solving and "hurdle clearing". In spite of having been licensed to practice law for over 30 years, I am a surprisingly normal and tolerable human being.
