Since he began in the industry, he has enjoyed working closely with his clients, helping them make informed decisions that best meet their commercial real estate requirements. Dave always remains focused on the needs of his clients in the areas of leasing, tenant representation, development and property management. Dave learned the ropes of the real estate business by working at Trammell Crow Company in the ever-changing St. Louis market. There, he was responsible for maintaining in excess of six million square feet of office, medical space. Before focusing his efforts in the Metro-East, he worked for Scott Properties where he leased and managed more than a million square feet of medical, office, retail and industrial space. As a Metro-East native, Dave was pleased to return to the area and open his own company where his customer-centered approach is focused on sales, leasing and property management services.Dave Kunkel purchased Cecil Management Group, Inc. (CMG) in October of 2015. CMG is one of the largest residential property management companies in the St. Louis Metro East area and currently manages approximately 900 residential properties and 73 homeowners associations, with an office staff of 20 and 7 maintenance technicians.Owning both Kunkel Commercial Group and Cecil Management Group, and having worked with Renee Wittenauer as a partner for several years, it was a logical decision to merge the two companies. The merger and renaming to Kunkel Wittenauer Group brings tremendous value and cohesion for KWG’s real estate clients as Dave and Renee share the same passion for delivering excellent customer service. Kunkel Wittenauer Group can now efficiently and effectively provide all of their real estate surfaces under one company name and expand on past successes. Show less

Born with an entrepreneurial spirit, Dave Kunkel has always had a strong desire to manage his own business. So, in early 2007, with 20 years of industry experience, he opted to venture out solo into the commercial real estate market and founded Kunkel Commercial Group, Inc. (KCG). Dave made a commitment to create a firm where he could truly help his clients. A firm where relationships are put in front of profits. A firm where clients are treated as individuals, not property addresses.
