A Bit About Me
I'm David Lindsey, a REALTOR® and Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES®) with Front Gate Realty in Ridgeland, Mississippi. Before real estate, I spent 25 years in pharmaceutical sales management focused on disease states that impact older adults — so I've been working alongside seniors and their families for most of my career. As a Senior Move Manager and Seniors Real Estate Specialist, I now help people navigate some of the biggest transitions later in life: right‑sizing to a home that fits better, making sense of an inherited property, or simply figuring out whether to stay, sell, or explore something new. I speak to church groups, senior centers, civic clubs, and employee groups who want clear, calm information to share with the older adults they care about. These workshops come from the same conversations I have every day — practical, no-pressure guidance designed to help you and your family make confident decisions about home and housing.
