Career

Visentin started his career in 1987 working as an agent for Country Living Realty in Rosemont, Ontario, while working alongside his father Nick Visentin. David worked on the housing market while discovering new potential homes for numerous clients for over 16 years.[1]

Love It or List It

Visentin auditioned for co-hosting duties for Love It or List It and was eventually signed on by Big Coats Productions as one of the hosts with Farr as his competitor.[2] Visentin's role in the show is to convince home owners to leave or "list" their home, which Farr is renovating at an agreed budget for other housing options. Visentin does this by showing them a series of homes that could sway them to leave.[3] In an Interview with People Magazine, both Visentin and Farr agreed "that their good-natured bickering is what has contributed to their series’ success." [4]

He also contributes for various news agencies such as the Canadian Press.[5]
