About David Worters

Prior to helping launch Compass as a founding principal and broker/agent in 2021, David was his previous firm's top-producing agent. He has been included in the Triangle Business Journal’s Book of Lists “Top Real Estate Agents in the Triangle” for eight consecutive years and in REAL Trends’ “America’s Best Agents” List in 2017, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. His real estate practice extends over all of Wake County and the Triangle and in 2022 he closed 58 transactions for a total volume of more than $41,000,000. 

 

David enjoys the incredible diversity of homes and clients with which he works and is respected for his responsiveness, dedication, support, attention to the tiny details, and passionate commitment to his client’s best interests. David also tries to take some of the anxiety out of a buyer’s or seller’s real estate journey by keeping it as light and fun as possible, and he understands that real estate transactions frequently coincide with often-stressful major life events in one’s life.

 

David navigated to real estate after a 25-year career in the performing arts, including more than ten years as President and CEO of the North Carolina Symphony. He credits his mother and father, accomplished professional and amateur pianists respectively, for fostering his love of music. A native of the Boston area, he grew up in Newton, Massachusetts, and earned his undergraduate degree in economics at Harvard. 

 

Before making Raleigh his permanent home in the 1990s, David lived in cities ranging from Chicago to San Francisco and Spokane to Fort Worth, instilling in him a deeply felt appreciation of the concept of “home” and what makes every community unique and special in its way. David is the incredibly proud father of his daughter Olivia who is studying at Appalachian State University and he is married to Miranda Yeager, an executive in the healthcare industry. Miranda and David's rescue dog is Maggie (or Margaret or Maggie Moo).

 

They love their Raleigh neighborhood of Blenheim for its walkability, diversity of architecture, location, and wonderful canine and human neighbors. In their downtime, you are most likely to find David and his family rooting for the Carolina Hurricanes or Alabama Crimson Tide, enjoying a live performance at the Durham Performing Arts Center or Memorial Hall at UNC-Chapel Hill, trying out a new restaurant, or spending time in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. David enjoys, in equal measure, helping newcomers and longtime North Carolina residents alike find their place in the world.
