History of Dave’s Real Estate Experience

In 1979, at just 23 years old, Dave established Real Estate 2000 Corporation, becoming one of the youngest brokers to own a real estate firm in Washington State.

Since its founding in 1979, Real Estate 2000 Corporation has operated offices in Seattle, Redmond, Everett, Lynnwood, Arlington, Auburn, Federal Way, Puyallup, and Tacoma. The firm has facilitated the sale of well over 15,000 commercial and residential properties throughout the state.

During the 1990s, Dave owned and managed a real estate school in Seattle. The school provided Tape Ed classes catering to brokers from both Real Estate 2000 Corporation and other offices.

In the 2000s, Dave oversaw the management of Highline Plaza in Lynnwood, WA, on behalf of international owners. His responsibilities included managing leases, rent collections, maintenance, and overall operations of the property. Additionally, Dave ventured into building and selling new construction projects. From 1989 to 2008, Real Estate 2000 Corporation hosted their annual golf tournament in August, bringing together fellow golfers from Real Estate offices across Washington.

Over the years, Dave and Real Estate 2000 Corporation have done thousands of property analysis reports for property owners of commercial and residential holdings.

Dave, along with the Hilbert family and Real Estate 2000 Corporation Have contributed to various charities supporting important causes in the Northwest. Their donations benefited organizations such as World Vision, children's hospitals, Union Gospel Mission, the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, food banks, women's shelters, fire departments, police departments, and many others.

The Hilbert family's involvement in real estate dates back to 1894, when Dave's Great Grandfather Frank Hilbert exchanged 10 acres in Walla Walla for 34 acres and a log cabin in Ukiah, Oregon. Over the years, Frank assembled additional land, eventually amassing 15,200 acres by the 1960s. This vast tract was sold to the U.S. Government and the state of Oregon, creating the Bridge Creek Wildlife Area which is part of the Umatilla National Forest, a designated area for deer, elk, and other wildlife.
