Bio
David grew up immersed and involved in agriculture and started his career off by attending Missouri Auction School in 2008. He then acquired his real estate license in November 2010 and currently serves as a real estate broker for his company. David gained valuable experience as a contract auctioneer and participated in a variety of different auctions nationwide. He is active in the Realtor Land Institute, National Auctioneer Associations and a number of State Auctioneer Associations. With David’s diverse portfolio of education and work experience and his drive to stay continually up-to-date on current market trends, clients look to him as their trusted advisor in farmland sales and acquisitions. After auctioneering for years and selling millions of dollars in assets, David honed in on his passion for selling farmland and enjoys the challenges that come with it. He and his wife Ann started the auction and real estate company, “Whitaker Marketing Group”, specializing in farmland and fundraising. David understands that marketing his clients’ assets is the most important aspect of the auction and strives to maintain the position as leader in the industry for marketing. His passion and stage presence has lead him to numerous championship titles and a World Auctioneer Spokesman of the Year title.
