Kohl was First In Real Estate Marketing in 1989 when he was involved in starting one of the very first real estate telephone “hotlines” while on assignment in Los Angeles. His behind the scenes efforts also helped him toward being selected in 1990 as “Business Person of the Year” by the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce. He went on to engineer the first ever “MLS Book” for commercial properties in conjunction with the Los Angeles CCIM Chapter.

After returning to Chicago in 1992 he founded FIRST IN Real Estate Marketing and expanded his line of services.

Dave continues to review new business proposals on Fridays.
