Meet Ocean Blue Real Estate
Ocean Blue Real Estate endeavors to be a different kind of firm. Focusing on exceptional client services and local market expertise, we are a team of top agents working tirelessly for our clients. Since 2013, we’ve helped buyers and sellers, from first-timers to seasoned investors, make solid real estate decisions, both in residential and commercial real estate.
We’re passionate about the Northern California coast. In 2019 & 2020, David Oliphant, our founder, was on the “America’s Best” list by Real Trends / Tommy Ferry and ranked in the top half of the top 1% NATIONALLY. In 2018 & 2019 he was the #1 Independent Agent at the Coast, both in volume and units sold for on and off-market sales. He is in the top 1% of all agents at the coast as well as all of San Mateo County.
We’ve noticed that three major factors go into the real estate process—finance, strategy, and emotion. Whether you’re buying or selling, we will design a comprehensive plan that includes all of these areas, so your transaction is as balanced as it is successful. We will guide you according to your goals and desires and always keep your best interests at the forefront. We’re an independent, locally-owned brokerage, so we don’t report back to investors or stockholders, we report back to you.
Ocean Blue Real Estate is honored to be endorsed and recommended by California.com, and currently is one of the few real estate brands in the state to be on this prestigious list.

HANDS DOWN THE BEST REAL ESTATE PERSON I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH
Karin & Ted
David helped us at every turn during a sales process in the height of a pandemic. It wasn’t easy and he managed it all big and small things. Most importantly he leads with empathy while being the most responsive professional I have ever met. If you are selling or if you are buying you want David on your team. Hands down the best real estate person I have ever worked with.
KARINA IS THE MOST CARING AND TRUSTWORTHY PERSON YOU WILL EVER MEET
Happy Client
Karina is the most caring and trustworthy person you will ever meet. She is also highly competent, passionate, successful, and totally committed to every goal she makes. You can’t find a more high quality, high caliber person to know or to work with. Karina possesses an innate ability to relate to and get along with everyone. It’s genuine and authentic. Additionally, her enthusiasm and positive attitude make her not just a great person to be around, but someone who is always successful and looking forward.
HE GUIDED US STEP BY STEP DURING THE PURCHASING PROCESS
Charlie and Robert
David was amazing during our six (6) month home search on the coast. He was available day and night seven days a week, including while he was on vacation. We built an amazing working / friendship that will continue. He called one evening after a devastating loss of another home and wanted us to see a new listing, we were hesitant but believed in David so we traveled to the coast during rush hour. Needless to say we put an offer in immediately and moved into our home 30 days later. He guided us step by step during the purchasing process and even attended the closing where we all celebrated after the signings. Even though we are still unpacking we are thankful we met David those six months ago as he was able to provide us our “forever home”
