Real estate professional brings over 15 years of experience to new position

Long & Foster Real Estate, the nation’s No. 1 family-owned residential real estate brokerage, has named Dave Wills as the new sales manager of its Middleburg, Va., office. Wills has served in the real estate business for more than 15 years, and he previously worked as a sales associate at Long & Foster’s Warrenton, Va., office. He brings significant career achievements to his new position and is well respected in the local real estate community.

“I look forward to taking on this new role at Long & Foster and to leading the exceptional team of real estate professionals at our Middleburg office,” said Wills. “I have a passion for helping others—especially my fellow real estate agents and their clients—to achieve success, and I’m confident that my knowledge and experience in real estate and technology sales will greatly help our team in Middleburg to accomplish their real estate dreams and to even better support their buyers and sellers.”

A Northern Virginia native, Wills entered the real estate industry after a successful career in information technology sales. After working with other local brokerages, he joined Long & Foster’s team in 2006 and rose to become one of the top-producing agents in the region. Wills also has a decade of appraisal experience, and that knowledge combined with his real estate expertise, provides him with a unique insight into the home-buying and selling process that will benefit the team at Long & Foster’s Middleburg office. Additionally, his passion for real estate, as well as his direct mentoring approach, will serve as an asset to his team.

“It takes a highly knowledgeable and skilled leader to support real estate agents in today’s competitive environment, and we are confident that with Dave at the helm of our Middleburg office, we’ll continue to achieve success for our agents and their clients,” said Larry “Boomer” Foster, president of Long & Foster Real Estate. “Adding exceptional leaders to our team is how our company has helped local buyers and sellers meet their homeownership goals for over 45 years and how we’ll continue to do so for the years to come.”

Wills is active in the local Realtor community, and he has been a member of Long & Foster’s Gold Team, an exclusive club for its top-producing agents, the last three years running. Wills is also a recipient of the Greater Piedmont Area Association of Realtors Honor Society. He is a graduate of Radford University, where he earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in management with a concentration on small business. In his spare time, he volunteers with the Fauquier Family Shelter Services, helping with fundraising and other promotional activities. Wills also enjoys spending time with his family, including wife, Fran, and daughters, Taylor, Abbey and Riley.
