Visentin started his career in 1987 working as an agent for Country Living Realty[1] in Barrie, Ontario, while working alongside his father Nick Visentin.[2] David worked on the housing market while discovering new potential homes for numerous clients for over 25 years.[3]
Love It or List It
Visentin auditioned for co-hosting duties for Love It or List It and was signed on by Big Coat Productions (now Big Coat Media) as one of the hosts with Farr as his competitor.[4] Visentin's role in the show is to convince home owners to leave or "list" their home, while Farr attempts to renovate the homeowner's home at an agreed budget. Visentin does this by showing them a series of homes that could sway them to leave.[5] In an interview with People magazine, both Visentin and Farr agreed "that their good-natured bickering is what has contributed to their series' success."[6]

Aside from his role on Love it or List it, Visentin has also served either as a guest or contributor on various morning news or talk show programs including The Marilyn Denis Show, Harry, The Kelly Clarkson Show and The Today Show.
