Maxine David

Born and raised in the Greater Los Angeles area, Maxine David brings a wealth of personal and professional understanding to the diverse and nuanced L.A. landscape where she’s practiced real estate since 2015. Prior to joining Douglas Elliman in 2020, Maxine spent three years on The Umansky Team at The Agency, one of the country’s top-producing groups, during which she supported nearly $554 million in sales volume in 2019 alone. With a large roster of celebrity clientele requiring the utmost discretion, it’s during this time she mastered her skills in exceptional service for buyers and sellers, negotiation, and seamless transactions. From coastal neighborhoods of Malibu and Santa Monica down to the South Bay, to Beverly Hills and Bel-Air, today Maxine specializes in the top residential enclaves across L.A. A well-respected professional known for integrity and acumen, she’s both an ally to leading agents throughout the city, and a trusted advisor to prominent clients across the wellness, fashion and entertainment industries.

Growing up visiting open houses with her parents, Maxine developed a deep appreciation for architecture, design, and beautiful spaces at a young age. Having spent time as a child sketching floor plans of her dream homes for future inspiration, real estate would later become her calling. Early in her career while still a student, Maxine worked in VIP services and Public Relations at world-class luxury brands such as Diane Von Furstenberg, Jimmy Choo, and Zoe Media Group during which she honed her signature white-glove approach and profound sense of discretion for her clients. After graduating from college, she had her first taste of real estate working for a top team at Hilton & Hyland before transitioning to client services at The Honest Company. Although an invaluable experience that helped shape her career, Maxine later decided to return to her true passion for real estate, bringing with her the learned art of communication and keen business sense from working in a fast-paced, high-profile organization.

Maxine studied Communication and Film Studies for two years at Santa Barbara City College and earned her Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies with a focus on Public Relations from Loyola Marymount University where she was a member of the Pi Beta Phi Organization. In between showings, Maxine can be found perfecting her golf game, backhand on the tennis courts, or reading up on the latest market activity and business headlines. On more extended breaks, Maxine enjoys travel, live music festivals, and time at the beach. She is an active supporter of This Is About Humanity, helping reunify families and children at the U.S.-Mexico border.
