Meet David

David Barkman worked as a retail store director before becoming a real estate broker in 1996. He works out of John L. Scott’s Sammamish office.

Drawn to real estate by the prospect of becoming a trusted advisor to clients and their families, David enjoys working with all types of buyers and sellers on all types of homes and land. He specializes in greater Seattle and the Eastside, as well as Snohomish. His approach is client-centric, and he isn’t afraid to put in the work needed to help his clients accomplish their goals.

Clients come back to David because of his deep real estate knowledge and problem-solving skills. He brings a positive attitude and one-on-one attention to each client to ensure the process of buying or selling is a pleasant one. One of David’s greatest pleasures is working with clients whom are relocating to Washington from other states and countries. With relocation clients, he’s able to share his knowledge of the Pacific Northwest and help them feel like they are home. While David’s transaction history shows a focus on the greater Seattle and Eastside areas, his knowledge encompasses the entire state.

For each transaction, David donates a portion of his commission to Seattle Children’s Hospital. He also volunteers with the Ronald McDonald House. In his spare time, David enjoys playing golf, skiing and traveling.
