OUR TEAM
Dave Sheehan
Broker
Dave Sheehan is a true Texan at heart, making his way to the Lone Star State from Ft. Dix, New Jersey, shortly after his birth. Growing up in Grand Prairie, Texas, Dave was always involved in student government and had a keen interest in both the arts and sciences. His academic journey led him to the University of Texas at Arlington, where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts, followed by an MBA after a soul-enriching trip through Europe.
With a career spanning over 18 years, Dave has made significant strides in the realms of technology, service, and business development, notably as the Director of Business Development and Client Relations for a local real estate law firm. His expertise also extends to the mortgage banking sector, where he served on the board of the Fort Worth Mortgage Bankers Association.
Dave's entrepreneurial spirit and passion for making dreams come true led him to the motorcycle business, where he played a pivotal role in transforming a dealership into a world-class operation. However, his heart remained in real estate, leading him back to sales with the goal of helping people achieve their dream of homeownership. His commitment to his community and local economy inspired him to establish REFLECT, a brokerage that supports local, independent, and family-operated businesses, steering clear of national franchises.
A versatile real estate professional, Dave has experience in buying, selling, and leasing a wide range of properties, from commercial to residential. He's a master of relationship building, negotiations, and market analysis.
Outside of his professional life, Dave is a devoted husband to Dana and a proud father to three daughters. Together, they enjoy a variety of activities, from cooking and traveling to attending festivals, with a special fondness for visiting Dana's homeland, Israel. Dave's unique position as the only male in his household has fine-tuned his abilities in flexibility, diplomacy, and love, making him not just a successful businessman but also a cherished family man.
Taylor Engel
Transaction Coordinator
Taylor is our go-to expert on all things organization and multi-tasking. As a mother to three girls under the age of 3, she has honed her natural skills for keeping things in order. Taylor grew up in the North Houston area, attending Texas A&M - College Station with plans to work with animals. Later, she followed her now husband to Dallas. They have three little girls who, being full of energy and cheer, are akin to a small circus - a situation Taylor sees as a win-win!
Taylor has always been an entrepreneur. So, when she discovered she was having twins in 2020 during a pandemic, it was only natural that she chose to leave her airline career to stay home, yet continue providing an income through remote work. Taylor had no background in Real Estate, but she quickly learned the lingo and grew to love the community and time freedom it came with.
From animals to airplanes and babies to Real Estate, Taylor's interests are diverse and expansive. Above all, she cherishes adult conversations and long walks outside. If you happen to spot her working in the lounge area of LifeTime Fitness, while her children are enjoying their time in the daycare play area, feel free to bring her a coffee and say hello!

Rachel Grunn
Licensed Real Estate Advisor
Rachel is a proud Texas native, raised in North Dallas. After graduating from high school, she embarked on a journey that took her to Europe, New York City, and eventually Los Angeles, where she pursued high-fashion modeling for nearly a decade. During her time abroad, she developed into an avid commercial and residential real estate investor in the United States. Her real estate investment experiences include AirBnBs, long-term rentals, fix-and-flips, mobile home parks, retail, and large multifamily assets. This expansive investing background has honed her negotiation and business skills, enabling her to better serve her clients, whether they are buying or selling their first home or their tenth. Rachel firmly believes that owning real estate, in any capacity, is an investment. She loves to work with her clientele to secure the highest possible return on their investments.
Rachel's passions extend well beyond the realm of real estate. Her fascination with horses began at a young age and has continued into adulthood. She owns a thoroughbred named Ringo, and together they travel the country, trotting through countless national and state parks — most recently Bryce Canyon in Utah. After a long day's work, there's nothing more relaxing to her than an evening on the ranch with a cold Modelo in hand. Rachel is also a competitive long-distance runner and spends her weekends traversing the North Dallas suburbs with her husband, Dylan.
Rachel's grandfather, the renowned Dallas news anchor John Criswell, and her grandmother, Elizabeth Criswell, a Child of Deaf Adults (CODA), greatly influenced her. Her grandmother founded the Deaf Action Center in Dallas in the '80s, serving the underrepresented deaf community in the DFW metroplex. Elizabeth's efforts were instrumental in changing state and national legislation to require that deaf individuals be provided with a translator in doctor's offices, courtrooms, and schools. Rachel was raised within the deaf community, is fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), and is passionate about representing those without a voice. She has proudly served many deaf clients throughout her real estate career.
Rachel and her husband, Dylan, welcomed their baby girl, Willow, in January 2022 and later added a Pomeranian named Kiwi to their family. When she's not negotiating deals for her clients, Rachel can be found enjoying warm Texan nights on the ranch with Dylan, Willow, Kiwi, and Ringo.
