  • David Shi

    Director

    Development Manager

    David, originally from Singapore, experienced life in Canberra while studying for his degree at ANU. Upon returning to Singapore the memories of Canberra stuck with him and he decided to switch his busy metropolitan life for Canberra’s laid-back style.

    Prior to real estate, David worked on the trading desk of a global investment bank, dealing with financial derivatives. He chose to move into real estate because of his own love of property and working directly with clients. Over the past 3 years David has treated his second career as a challenge and continually exceeds expectations, achieving excellent growth.
