No call center, no anonymous fund manager — a small, local, founder-led team that personally reviews every deal before it reaches an investor.
Dave founded Elevate Properties Utah to give homeowners a fair, pressure-free alternative to a traditional listing — and to give private investors a straightforward way to put capital behind real, local renovation projects instead of a faceless fund. He personally leads every acquisition and reviews every property himself, so the deals brought to investors reflect genuine on-the-ground market insight, not a generic formula.
Dave holds an active Utah real estate license and a Utah B100 general contractor license — meaning the pricing, renovation scope, and budget behind every deal he presents to investors is built by someone licensed to do that work, not estimated from a spreadsheet.
Braxton runs the comps and pricing behind every acquisition and every exit, making sure valuations stay disciplined and grounded in real, current market data rather than optimistic assumptions — the same rigor investors want to see before committing capital to a deal.
Braxton has spent the last three years managing deal analysis for the company, and has single-handedly sourced multiple flip deals from initial contact through close. That hands-on track record of finding and vetting opportunities firsthand is what gives investors confidence in the numbers behind every deal he brings to the table.

That's the standard we hold ourselves to on both sides of every deal. To a seller, it means showing up in person, telling the truth about what's fair, and never treating someone's hardest season as a transaction to be won. To an investor, it means the same honesty runs the other direction — real numbers, real properties, and a direct line to the two people actually doing the underwriting, because trust isn't something we ask for, it's something we earn one deal at a time. Money is the tool that makes all of this possible; the people on both ends of it are the whole reason we do the work.
Renovation scopes and costs are built by a licensed general contractor, not estimated from the outside.
Acquisition and resale pricing comes from an active Utah real estate license, with real local comps. We're licensed agents backed by a local brokerage, so your investment stays top of mind for more than just the two of us.
We don't chase out-of-state deals sight-unseen — every project is somewhere we can personally walk.
No call center — your inquiry goes straight to the people underwriting the deals.
