David Kucera is a licensed California Real Estate Broker with Valley Vista Properties and a member of the Fresno Association of Realtors and the Clovis Chamber of Commerce. A real estate broker since 1978, David founded Santa Clara Properties in Palo Alto, California, and is also a member of the Silicon Valley Association of Realtors in Cupertino, California.

David is an owner and co-founder of Valley Vista Properties, which was started in Fresno in 2004 as a real estate company and continues to be family-owned and operated to this day. It has expanded over time from representing buyers and sellers of real estate to adding a state-of-the-art professional property management division to aid owners of investment properties.

He began his real estate career in the San Francisco Bay Area, using creative, innovative approaches that helped buyers own residential property in the high-priced Bay Area. He established an equity-sharing program that enabled unrelated buyers to purchase residential property through an equity-sharing arrangement (combining an investor with an owner/occupant), a highly successful initiative that was featured in the San Francisco Chronicle. In addition to the equity-sharing program, David offered a down payment assistance program, which again helped many families own their first home.

Through Valley Vista Properties, David has been a licensed real estate mortgage broker, helping guide many residential buyers through the often-complex mortgage loan approval process. He continues to educate prospective buyers about the numerous loan options available to residential buyers, including both owner-occupant buyers and investors.
