About David

Since 1990, David Crabtree has been helping people buy and sell real estate throughout the Central Coast. As a real estate developer-entreprenuer, he has over two decades of experience in land development, residential home building, subdividing, and commercial development. David’s dedication and work ethic led him to acquire his own real estate firm and he has been the proud Broker/Owner of Home and Ranch Sotheby’s International Realty for nearly 20 years. 

 

In his early career, David served as a firefighter with the California Department of Forestry in Northern San Luis Obispo. From there, he went to serve as a group supervisor with the California Youth Authority as well as a member of the Special Emergency Response Team. Both positions reflect David’s strong commitment to the San Luis Obispo County area.

 

In 2007, David’s entrepreneurial drive led him to become a Founding Director of American Perspective Bank. Under his leadership, the Bank grew to over $270 Million in assets and was eventually sold to Pacific Western Bank.

David is also deeply committed to giving back to the community in which he was raised and currently serves as President of the Board for Must! Charities – a local nonprofit dedicated to making strategic and sustainable change across the Central Coast.
