David Favret

David Favret
French Quarter Realty

I have been an agent with French Quarter Realty for a little over 14 years and, last year, was promoted to managing broker.  Although I've volunteered with many organizations throughout my life, it didn't occur to me to volunteer with NOMAR until I began spending time at the association preparing to become my company's broker.  I had never thought about who did the work, nor did I appreciate the level of effort that goes into providing what the association offers to its members.  But I quickly learned that my voice and participation were welcomed and I jumped in with both feet.  I currently serve on two NOMAR committees, a GSREIN committee, as well as two committees for Louisiana REALTORS®, and am honored that I will serve on the 2019 Louisiana REALTORS® Board of Directors.  If elected to NOMAR's Board, I will strive to have agents realize the relevance and value of their membership and work to increase participation from those who don't know or see the importance of serving.  I hope that my skills, personality and experience in the industry will benefit the association and, ultimately, you.

I received my Real Estate license in 1988.  I started my career working my with parents, Dale and JoAnn Tynes at Dale Tynes & Associates as a secretary.  While at Dale Tynes & Assoc., I was a Casualty Ins.

New Orleans East office and am now the Managing Broker at LATTER & BLUM INC. Slidell Branch.  My experience in both the small broker firm and the large broker firm I believe sets me apart from other candidates.  I understand the challenges the agents have in both companies, large and small.  I will work hard representing you on the NOMAR Board to insure all agents have a voice in our industry.  I will be honored to have your support and vote in the upcoming election.
