About Me
Everyone knows that buying or selling a home is one of the largest, most important financial decisions you will ever make, so it's important to work with an agent that has certain skills. But people often don't know what skills makes a great real estate agent. A desire to help people, a passion for homes, attention to detail and extensive knowledge of the local market are all traits of a solid real estate agent. And I promise to deliver each to you.
An Alamance County native, I've spent equal time working in both Burlington and Greensboro. In addition to providing invaluable knowledge about the real estate market in both Alamance and Guilford County, I'm accustomed to delivering top quality client service and sweating the details that help deals flow smoothly. Personally, I've had a passion for real estate going back more than twenty years involving the purchase, sale and renovation of many properties. I look forward to using all the skills in my toolbox to help you make the best real estate choice for you and your family.
Whether you want to buy a home that best suits your changing lifestyle or you must sell a home to move forward to another chapter in life, I enthusiastically look forward to helping you meet your real estate needs.

Mr.Carter was the second realtor we used to sell our property in Alamance County, NC. After 6 months with our first realtor and not even an offer....Mr. Carter had our home sold to the first family he showed it to! We closed about a month after that. David and his team were professional, prompt in answering questions, and willing to go the 'extra mile' to see that my family was satisfied with the sale. I would definitely recommend David Carter to be your real estate agent.
Renee Palmer
David and his team were wonderful to work with! I have no reservations about suggesting him to anyone looking for a supportive realtor who truly goes the extra mile. Lori was great to work with, also. Both are consummate professionals.
Rita M. Askew

Please see my comments above. I am new to this community and felt very welcomed from the moment I walked into Allen Tate. The staff is most helpful. Everything was handled wonderfully and I was kept informed about all the details from inspections to the final meeting with the lawyer. I am enjoying my new home at Trail One complete with space for an art studio. Thanks to everyone on the staff and especially Ken Smith for the expertise in finding this great home.
Christopher Allman
David is terrific. Great agent. Absolutely delightful to work with. We also made a great friend through this transaction. David will be my go-to agent for future real estate transactions. Simply the best.

I have called on David's expertise many times as a real estate investor. He has provided invaluable information about the local market and how to maximize my investment dollars. He knows how to spot a good property and has been an integral part of my success. I have bought many homes throughout Alamance and Guilford counties and used David as a listing agent and a buyer's agent. he has always provided me the best service with unique insights into current market conditions.

David Carter was a gem to work with. He did everything possible to help me buy my home. He connected me with warm and caring and extremely capable individuals who treated me with respect and dignity no matter how many questions I asked. David kept me calm and positive and gave me perfect advice. I believe as a Realtor and client we were a "match made in Heaven" and I know anyone who chooses to call on him will feel the same way. Knowledgeable, professional and personable - that's David Carter.
Bill H., Greensboro, NC 27403
David recently helped me purchase two investment properties. His knowledge of the home buying process and current real estate market was invaluable to my search. One of the purchases David helped me with was a short-sale. Without David's keen organizational skills and follow-up I'm sure the deal would have fallen through. He's a very straightforward and attentive agent who was never afraid to give me an honest opinion. I'll definitely be using him again!!
Michele C., Graham, NC 27253
Friendly, knowledgeable, and patient, David worked with us until our previous house sold and we were able to find a home that we loved and could afford. Highly recommend!
John B. Greensboro, NC 27410
David helped me every step of the way and then we did our part. He helped in the beginning by suggesting things that we could do to prepare our home to make it more salable. We took his suggestions. Then he immediately came out and used a photographer who took excellent photos and then listed our home. He listed it on every available service and then he got to work, putting the efforts in like we needed it sold NOW even though we didn't. But we appreciated that because once you have decided to sell who wants to wait 6 months to a year for a buyer. We sold our home in 16 days and I believe that it was due to David and our willingness to take his suggestions. If you are looking for a team player and a coach to help you sell your home and get the most money and quick sell then David should be your agent.
Penny T., Burlington< NC 27215
When we were ready to sell our house we knew that we wanted a top rate realtor to do the job. David was recommended to my husband and I by a friend and after interviewing him and hearing his expertise and knowledge there was no question that we wanted him to help us! He was incredible and sold our house before it ever hit the market! He was always available to answer questions and negotiate for us. He is currently helping us buy our new house. We highly recommend him!
Robin A., Burlington, NC 27215
David is a kind, knowledgeable Realtor who was very helpful as we purchased a home for the first time, in an area we are only beginning to know. He had lots of great advice on everything in the buying process, from negotiation to lenders to insurance agents to contractors, and skillfully answered all of our newbie questions. We would highly recommend him to anyone!
Justin F. Burlington, NC 27215
I could not recommend a better person than David. I was a first time home buyer. David helped to find the perfect home for me. He was very knowledgeable, diligent, patient and sincere.
Pam Rosencrans - Burlington, NC 27215
We recently worked with David to purchase our home, and he is the BEST agent I've ever worked with. He went above and beyond his duties to help us!! He was very patient, understanding and not pushy! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
D Rosencrans - Burlington, NC 27215
David was extremely patient while we were searching for our home-a true professional that cared about and explored to find out what was truly important to us in finding that perfect home-David was never pushy but kept in touch to let us know when something came in the market that would interest us-I would recommend him to anyone looking for a home that wants an honest, hard worker as an agent-

This was my first experience purchasing a home after my divorce. To say I was nervous would be an understatement. I went into the process thinking that I would act as my own agent. I realized quickly that if I represented myself then my client was a fool. I knew David from a friend of a friend and thought he was a hardworking, honest agent. I gave him a call and he showed me a few properties, all of which were within the guidelines I had described. He was very helpful when I was trying to decide between two homes. He guided me through the process of choosing home options that would best help me sell my home when it became time to resell. And he skillfully negotiated my deal with the seller's agent. I had such a good experience that I've recommended him to friends, some of whom have bought through him. One other plus of David is that he has introduced me to several home improvement professionals who have done great work for me. I can't recommend David more highly. If you want to ask more about my experience, David can give you my phone or email.

I recently purchased a home in Gibsonville using David Carter. Buying a home can be a stressful experience and having a professional to guide you through the process is of the utmost importance. We were fortunate to have David be that professional. Moving from South Carolina, we were not familiar with the area. David made himself available at the drop of a hat as we were from out of town and had a limited time to search for a home. David met with our lender on several occasions to iron out the wrinkles of a special financing plan that we were using. He stayed with us through the buying and settlement process, making recommendations for contractors we needed to make upgrades to the property. Sarah and I highly recommend David to take you through the buying process.

David is amazing!!! He was patient and always had or found the answers to our questions. We don't plan to buy another home but if we did David would be the realtor we used.
Hans and Cindy Vogel
David is very knowlegdeable in his field and listens to your input. We felt that David treated us more like a friend and truly cared whether we would be happy in our new home. We would highly recommend him for any of your Real Estate needs.
Ann Hobgood
David Carter is the BEST!!!! The sale of my historic home in Glencoe was more complicated than most sales, and David handled every aspect of it professionally and expertly. He was very responsive to any concern or question I had, made excellent suggestions to improve the sale-ability of my home, and followed up with me frequently as I went through the process of selling and buying with him. I've bought and sold many houses over the years and I would rate David as the best realtor I have used.

Professional, informed, reliable, and forward-thinking are the first words that come to mind to describe David Carter. To live in upper New York State and to search for a house in North Carolina requires faith in your realtor. We had that throughout the months we worked with David to find the right—and we believe—perfect house for us. David came to know us and our preferences well enough that we received notice of many possibilities. We gradually came to be more knowledgeable of the North Carolina real estate market and rules which are quite different from New York’s. Our first “possibility” gave him pause, and we had an inspection done before we made an offer. The results were devastating but not obvious. We did not offer. The second possibility went as far as the due diligence stage. David helped us find contractors who estimated costs for us; and then, as it appeared, once again, that the truth was being hidden, he brought someone in to inspect closely. The myriad hidden problems and the possible costs resulted in both our due diligence and down payment being returned. David Carter’s concern and professionalism is exemplary. He deeply cared about our finding the right home. As we drove up to the house on Coveside Trail, we knew we’d found our home, and we believe David knew it too. It meets all the criteria we set out to find. His contact with Carolina bank made securing a mortgage a breeze, and the law firm that handled our purchase made the closing easy and pleasant. Without reservation, we would recommend David Carter to anyone. Our experience working with him was wonderful.

I just want to send a huge THANK YOU from the bottom of mine and my husband's hearts for helping us sell our home and buy another one in record time recently due to the crazy housing market in Alamance County. You have been my friend for so many years, but the level of professionalism and knowledge and caring that you expressed during the multi-month process was amazing and made the process so less stressful. I also want to express sincere thanks to Ken and Lori whose vaulable assistance in our situation was also of notice and so very appreciated. It was refreshing to have your level of patience and understanding when we were going crazy. If anyone needs a realtor, please choose David Carter with Allen Tate Realty in Burlington as he is the BEST, BEST, BEST!!!!!
