He began his professional career in journalism with the GTE Corporation, working as a video field producer, then moved to the radio station WSUB-AM, which he served as a director as well as a news anchor for the station’s shows. Eventually his popularity and experience would lead him to be hired by CNN, to work on the two hour morning television show entitled “Ahead of the Curve” which aired in 2000, both as an anchor and news correspondent, but the show was short lived, and after that he left CNN.

Transition to Real Estate

Over the next decade and a half, Haffenreffer continued his work in the media with numerous news stations, including Bloomberg, News 12 Connecticut, WABC-TV, and CNNfn. Eventually, he decided to forego his career as a journalist having discovered a passion for real estate, and in 2015 became a real estate broker based in Greenwich, Connecticut. According to him, he enjoys working in the business, especially with how state of the art technology is being used in the field today, which has made it possible to get deals closed very quickly.

David has also worked with other real estate firms, including Sotheby’s International Realty and Prudential Connecticut Realty. Currently, he works as a brokerage manager for the Houlihan Lawrence Agency.

Other projects she handled include the show “Antiques Roadshow” on PBS – the series is based on local antiquities owners bringing in items to be appraised by experts, and the item’s history and value are then discussed. The show is based on the British show of the same name which first aired during the 1970s. She also worked on the spin-off “Antiques Roadshow FYI”, and hosts the show “Flea Market Flip” which airs on the Great American Country Channel as well as on HGTV.
