  • Dave Korbe, REALTOR® Topeka, Kansas

    Dave Korbe, REALTOR®

    (785) 969-7500

    dave@korbe.net

    Dave has spent his entire life here in Topeka. He concluded his education at Washburn University with a degree in business. Then he and his wife Ginger, raised their 6 kids here in the Topeka area and they have thus far been blessed with 9 grandkids who all live in the area.

    With 20 plus years of helping families find a home that meets their current needs has been both rewarding and fulfilling. As always, some moments are more sentimental than others. Like the time he held a one year old in his arms as a young couple bought their first home together, then fast forward many years later, helping that one year old who has now become a young man, buy his first home with his young bride. However, the years in between were equally special because of the title this family gave him….”Uncle Dave”. To start off as strangers and to develop a connection where individuals would include you as family, life doesn’t get any better than this.

    Dave considers it a privilege to work with all individuals regardless of their situation. Things change over time including your housing needs. There are many variables to consider regardless if it is your first home, or you are downsizing, or maybe looking for investment properties. With years of experience, Dave can help answer your real estate questions and help you understand the market as it is constantly changing.
