Our Team

Behind every Modera home is a hands-on team focused on doing things the right way—combining real estate expertise, financial discipline, and a deep commitment to affordable housing in our local communities.

Dave Costello

Founder | Licensed Manufactured Home Dealer | Licensed Real Estate Agent (SC)

Dave founded Modera Homes with a clear mission: to make high-quality, affordable homeownership accessible through smarter financing and a more transparent process. As the son of a veteran, he strongly believes that service members and veterans deserve the ability to use their VA benefits to purchase real housing—not be limited by outdated mobile home structures.

With years of experience in real estate and manufactured housing, Dave leads Modera’s customer sales and education process, guiding buyers step-by-step so they can make confident, informed decisions. His passion is rooted in helping families build long-term stability while strengthening the local community through quality housing.

Born and raised in Pickens County, Ben brings both local knowledge and leadership experience to Modera Homes. He is a U.S. military veteran who has served multiple tours overseas, and he now applies that same dedication and attention to detail to managing Modera’s land development projects.
