About

David was born and raised in Hawaii, growing up on both Oahu and Maui. He is a second-generation real estate professional and third-generation businessman in Hawaii. He graduated from Punahou School and went on to earn his degree in Environmental Analysis and Design from the University of California, Irvine. His hard work didn't stop there; he went on to become a Honolulu firefighter. However, he still embraces the Honolulu Fire Department's motto of Pride, Service, and Dedication in serving his clients' needs. He has also been featured on over half a dozen HGTV shows.

When David is not selling real estate, he loves to spend time with the three lovely women (his wife and two daughters) in his life. He also enjoys getting on the water to either surf or paddle. Although David lives in Diamond Head, he sells properties all over the island. There is no deal too big or too small; he has sold everything from leasehold condos under $100,000 to multi-million-dollar mansions in Honolulu.

Ratings & Reviews

Michael Fine

David is professional, patient, and intuitive. His attention to detail and integrity are what make him unique. He is attentive and listens to your needs while offering valuable insight.

Buddy Ikeda

I've been a client of David Buck and Harcourts Island Real Estate for several years now. He and his associates have been wonderful partners and invaluable to me in sales related to the wind down of a trust. He has provide extremely valuable insight into the local real estate market at a macro- and micro-level where my properties are located to help guide pricing and timing of when to go to market and list. On a recent sale, he really came through on execution and we closed on time and without a hitch. Because I reside out of state, I needed a real estate agent (and more particularly, one who is a Realtor) in Hawaii to support me in managing a real estate portfolio there. David and team are partners in that endeavor and I completely trust and rely on them. They have my full and unconditioned endorsement.

Andrea Stoebenau

David has been our Realtor for the purchase and sale of our first home, as well as for the purchase of our second home. He and his family have also become our personal friends over the years.
David did an amazing job for us- we purchased our first home in 2009; David led us through the process and made sure that all of our concerns were explained clearly as first time homebuyers. He then sold that house in 13 days eight years later. David was simultaneously representing us for the purchase of our current home- helping us to close on both properties on the same day, seamlessly. When the time comes, we will absolutely ask David to represent us again.
I can say with confidence that David will always lead his clients through the home buying and selling process with genuine care and knowledge.

Peter Yelle

We had the pleasure of working with David Buck when purchasing and selling our condo in Ala Moana. As a military member on orders, we had little time to search and close, but David was invaluable in getting the right place for the right price. Same exceptional service from David when we had to transfer out. Cant recommend anyone better to find the perfect home.

Linda Ah Sam

David was definitely one of the best realtors I have had listing a property. Professional, knowledgeable and such a nice person. Would take any future business to him without hesitation.
