A Diagnostic Approach
to Utah Real Estate
Dr. David R. Haws earned his title the hard way — 19 years of Utah market cycles, 500+ closed transactions, and a philosophy built on precision over pressure. While other agents rely on gut feelings and generic marketing, Dr. Haws brings a physician's diagnostic rigor to every deal.
He survived the 2008 crash when 40% of Utah agents quit. He mastered short sales, REOs, and luxury listings. He built a reputation in Davis County that no amount of advertising can replicate — one client at a time, one transaction at a time.
Four Principles That Separate
Diagnostic from Transactional
Diagnose Before You Prescribe
Every client situation is different. Before recommending a strategy, Dr. Haws asks the questions most agents skip — timeline, financial goals, risk tolerance, neighborhood priorities.
Data Over Gut Feeling
Every pricing recommendation is backed by 90 days of comparable sales, active competition analysis, and absorption rate data. No guessing — only what the market actually supports.
Your Deal, Your Timeline
Dr. Haws doesn't push clients to close before they're ready. He's turned down listings that weren't priced right, and walked buyers away from homes that didn't pencil out.
Transparent Communication
You'll always know where your transaction stands. Every showing, every offer, every inspection item — communicated within 2 hours. No radio silence. No surprises at closing.

Survived the Crash
While 40% of Utah agents quit during the 2008 collapse, Dr. Haws doubled down. He mastered short sales, REOs, and distressed properties — skills that still set him apart today.
The 'Dr. of Real Estate' Brand
After earning his doctoral-level expertise through hundreds of transactions, clients started calling him 'the doctor.' The name stuck — and so did the diagnostic approach.
