David Dirkschneider

Executive Vice President at Colliers

Speaker

David Dirkschneider is a senior multifamily investment advisor specializing in the brokerage of apartment assets across Oklahoma and the broader South Central United States. Since entering the industry in 2004, he has focused exclusively on multifamily investments, advising private capital owners, institutional investors, developers, and lenders on strategies that maximize asset value, optimize timing, and drive portfolio growth.

David’s approach is rooted in one principle: aligned interests. He operates as a long-term advisor, not a transactional broker, delivering actionable market intelligence, strategic positioning, and access to qualified capital that enables his clients to make confident, high-stakes decisions. His clients rely on him not only to execute transactions, but to help solve the challenges that directly impact their portfolios, scaling efficiently, navigating capital markets volatility, managing operational risk, and identifying opportunities ahead of the broader market.

Over the course of his career, David and his team have transacted on more than 100,000 apartment units totaling billions in volume. Beyond dispositions, he is a trusted advisor to developers and investors in site selection, portfolio strategy, and capital deployment, particularly in identifying opportunities within high-growth, landlord-favorable markets across Oklahoma and surrounding regions.

David is widely recognized for his ability to bridge local market expertise with institutional-level execution. His clients benefit from proprietary insights derived from direct owner relationships, real-time transaction data, and an extensive network of active buyers and capital sources. This allows him to create competitive environments that drive pricing while ensuring certainty of execution. Two outcomes that matter most to serious apartment investors.

Prior to his career in commercial real estate, David served in the United States Marine Corps, where he developed the discipline, accountability, and mission-focused mindset that continue to define his approach to business and client service today.

In addition to brokerage, David plays an active role in shaping the industry. He is a frequent speaker and panel moderator on multifamily investment trends, capital markets, and regional growth dynamics. He also serves as a coach with the Massimo Group, mentoring brokers nationwide on building advisory-driven businesses and improving client outcomes.

His impact extends beyond real estate. David has served three terms as a city councilman and held leadership roles across multiple organizations focused on economic development, housing, and community advancement. His involvement reflects a broader commitment to strengthening the markets in which his clients invest.

At his core, David is relationship driven. His clients value trust, transparency, and accountability, and his business is built around delivering all three. He does not measure success by transactions completed, but by the long-term outcomes achieved for the investors and partners he represents.
