David Legaz, Real Estate Broker

David had a successful career as one of New York's Finest, retiring as a Sergeant in 2002 after responding to the 9/11 World Trade Center tragedy and losing his partner.

David then directed his focus and energy fully into real estate. He implemented technology systems, created websites that enhanced the selling and buying process that built trust, confidence, and positive results for their clients. This technology continues to evolve with Keller Williams® Realty with the goal of delivering the best consumer experience.
