Having spent his formative years building houses with his contractor father, the passion for helping others put down roots has always been his blood. Instilled with an innate love for helping people transition through life’s major milestones, Todd has an appreciation for the power of real estate investments and finds great joy enriching the lives of others. Bolstered by over a decade in the retail and restaurant industries, Todd pivoted into the real estate realm in 2012, armed with unmatched leadership, management, and client service experience. And while he owned and ran a successful development company for years, these days you’ll find him at the helm of Denman Drapkin Group, leading an impressive roster of top-tier agents alongside Co-Founder, Lisa Drapkin. Respected by clients and colleagues alike as a refreshingly authentic Realtor, Todd makes it a habit of treating everyone in his circle with dignity and respect. Personable, relatable, and abundantly intuitive, the bedrock of his business has always been taking care of people – both inside and outside of the organization. “Treat people right and success will follow,” as Todd always says. It’s not the least bit surprising then, that Todd has closed over $100M in sales to date. When he’s not husting for clients or landing folks the home of their dreams with his signature, do-whatever-it-takes attitude, you’ll find him cycling, golfing, and hiking with his family. Married with three kids under the age of five (nope, that’s not a typo), Todd is deeply appreciative of the dynamic community he calls home and the adventures that lie just beyond his doorstep.
