What Clients & Colleagues Say About David Gorin

"My value as an independent, freelance management consultant relies, in part, on the quality of my professional contacts in various areas of real estate investment. I consider David Gorin as my 'go to guy' for 'all things RV - related'. This frees me up from even thinking of being 'all things to all people' - not a wise posture for anyone, really.

So, when my clients ask questions and or need statistics and or advice on one or another RV, campground related topic, I 'send them to David Gorin'." March 17, 2009
