Before launching two powerhouse virtual assistant companies—Support Speedy and Expert VA—Dave Popplewell was running one of the most fast-paced real estate operations in the country.

As Managing Director of the Keller Williams Market Center in New York City and a trusted productivity coach, he dedicated his time to helping agents grow their businesses, fine-tune their systems, and hit record-breaking goals.

But then came the moment—the one that changed everything.

Dave hired his first virtual assistant.“It was a total lightbulb moment,” he says. “I suddenly realized how much time I was spending on tasks that someone else could do—probably better. And just like that, my time came back, my business grew faster, and honestly, I was enjoying work more.”

That one VA sparked a vision.

Dave founded Support Speedy to provide operational and compliance support for KW Market Centers. But as demand quickly grew, and industries outside of real estate started calling, he launched Expert VA, expanding his virtual leverage model to serve professionals across real estate, accounting, finance, and beyond.

Today, Dave’s companies are known for connecting top-tier offshore talent with growth-minded entrepreneurs who want to reclaim their time and scale smarter.

With a background in real estate, finance, legal, and operations, Dave brings more than strategy—he brings solutions that work in the real world.

When he's not building scalable businesses or coaching others on how to do the same, you might catch him reading a book or searching out his next great bowl of ramen.
