David Keyte

Buying or selling a home is a financial decision, a personal transition and often a little of both. I start by understanding what you want your move to accomplish, then help you evaluate the properties, market conditions and tradeoffs that matter to you.

For sellers, that means a thoughtful plan for preparation, pricing, presentation and marketing, followed by clear communication as showings, feedback and offers come in. For buyers, it means looking beyond the listing photos to consider condition, location, intended use and the terms of a purchase.

A successful listing starts with understanding your priorities and how your property compares with the homes buyers can choose today. I help you decide what to prepare, how to position the home and how to respond as the market gives us feedback.

My approach combines local market analysis, pricing strategy, professional photography and video, digital marketing and experienced negotiation. From the first preparation conversation through inspection requests and closing, I aim to give you clear information and a practical recommendation at each decision.

Some sales require a change of course. When competition shifts, an offer needs work or a transaction encounters a hurdle, I help you weigh the options against your timing, costs and goals.

I earned a Bachelor of Science from DePaul University, with a double major in finance and real estate.

Before entering real estate, I worked as a commodities trader and market maker at the Chicago Board of Trade, primarily trading corn and wheat. That background shapes how I think about pricing, risk and negotiation: understand the information, weigh the tradeoffs and stay focused on the decision in front of you.

Bend Relo has completed more than 600 real estate transactions. I serve clients in Bend, Redmond, Sisters, Sunriver and Prineville, bringing a local perspective to the questions each property and move presents.

Client stories and the complete reviews behind them.

Joe was selling a residential lot at a time when the market favored buyers. In his review, he credits David and the team with helping him complete the sale while other properties remained on the market. He valued the balance between pursuing a strong result and staying focused on what he wanted the sale to accomplish.

“David helped us navigate a Buyer’s Market while selling our impressive residential lot and even though the climate was challenging, he helped us maximize our return without losing sight of our true goals. We were able to move this property while others stood still and for that we thank David and his team for their expertise.”

One client worked with David and the team on both a purchase and a sale, with questions, pauses and changing plans along the way. Their review describes patient guidance and quick responses throughout the process. When snow threatened an open house for the home they were selling, the team helped clear it so the showing could go ahead. The client also praised the team’s representation and reported that the home sold quickly.

“David and his team did an outstanding job for us in both buying and selling a home. I consider myself lucky that his name was the referral I received from Zillow. As in most real estate transactions we had a lot of questions, we didn’t move in a straight line towards purchase, there were times when we took a break from the process and David and his team were so understanding, responding with lightening speed to any inquiry, last minute requests for viewings, good advice and lots of patience. When we sold a home, the team was there removing snow during a blizzard so the open house could go forward, represented our interests in an outstanding manner and sold the home in a very short period of time. I would recommend David and his team without hesitation.”

When you work with me, you also benefit from Molly McInelly’s experience as a Principal Broker and client success and transaction coordinator. Molly has personally coordinated more than 600 real estate transactions, supporting our clients and team through the details that follow an accepted offer.

We bring complementary strengths to the same goal. I focus on representation, market strategy and negotiation; Molly brings careful coordination, communication and attention to the moving pieces. Together, we help you understand what happens next and who is helping with it.

You do not have to decide everything before you arrive. Molly’s work through Bend Relocation Services can help you explore rental options, plan your move and get familiar with the area. If buying or selling becomes part of that plan, I can help you evaluate the real estate side.

The connection works both ways: clients who begin with a home search can also draw on Molly’s relocation perspective. The goal is a practical plan that fits your timing, priorities and life.

Whether you are preparing to sell, comparing communities or considering a move to Central Oregon, tell us what you are working through. We will help you identify a useful next step.
