About Dave Hackett

I have always put my client’s needs first, relying on my experience and expertise to solve any issues which may arise in a real estate transaction. I have based my business on relationships and service; my clients depend on me to provide timely assistance and close their transactions. In a problem situation, the focus should always be on a fair and ethical solution.

As your realtor, I will work to make your dreams and goals happen. (see more) in italics.

Prior to becoming a realtor, I spend 40+ years in the title insurance industry, mainly with Chicago Title Insurance Company, helping real estate agents, lenders, escrows, and investors overcome problems and close real estate transactions. During this time, I was awarded Chicago Title Company’s Castle Club Award for over a $1,000,000 in revenue production. “Affiliate of the Year” twice by the East Orange County Board of Realtors for service.

Prior to my employment at Chicago Title Company, I was a real estate sales agent for Niguel Bailey & Assoc. in Corona del Mar.

I am a proud husband, father, and grandfather. My wife, Karen, and I have four children and four grandchildren whom we cherish. Love animals, people, skiing, hiking, fishing, golfing and pretty much anything outdoors.

I come from a military family and have lived all over the United States, Japan, and Germany. I served in the Air Force during the Vietnam War.

I have served on various Church and School Boards, have been a Rotarian, and have been a fundraiser for Canyon Acres (home for abused children).
