David Stafford and Melissa Salazar, 360 Ventures Real Estate
Buying, selling, relocating, serving, investing, or settling an estate. Six different jobs that each need something different from a broker.
A walkthrough, a prioritized fix list with real costs, a price, and your net figure before anything goes on the market.
Selling with DavidSearch, negotiation, and an inspection read from someone who has renovated over a hundred Albuquerque houses and knows what the photos hide.
Buying with DavidSix years in the Navy and years of VA financing and Kirtland relocations. He knows the timeline you are actually on.
Veterans and VA loansFlips, rentals, and deals underwritten by someone who runs the same playbook with his own capital every month.
Investors and flipsInherited property, a job that already started, a house that will not survive a traditional listing. He can make you a cash offer.
Fast and as-is salesWhich side of town, what your commute really looks like, and where your money buys the most house.
Areas he coversMost brokers sell houses. David buys them too. He holds rentals in Albuquerque and renovates and resells eight to twelve houses a year with his own capital, in the same market he represents you in.
That changes what he can tell you on either side of a deal. Walking a house you are selling, he is not guessing at what a remodel returns, he is pricing it from jobs he paid for last quarter. Walking a house you are buying, he is reading the stucco, the roof and the foundation against his own contractor invoices and telling you what the repairs really cost. And he reads every contract with the risk instincts he built writing multi-million dollar agreements for the US Department of Energy at Sandia National Laboratories.
He is a one stop operation. Estate clear-outs, make-ready rehab, final cleaning, staging, hauling away what nobody wants. If you are out of state and cannot fly in, he handles it and keeps it paperless.
What funds your next move is what is left after commissions, concessions, repairs, title, prorated taxes and your payoff come out. Most sellers do not see that number until the closing table. David prepares it before you list.
Illustration only. David prepares this for your actual address, with real comparable sales and your real payoff, before you commit to anything.
There is no single answer that fits every seller, but the shortlist should be brokers with a long local record, published reviews you can verify on independent platforms, and direct experience with your specific situation. David Stafford of 360 Ventures Real Estate meets that test: twenty-three years in the Albuquerque market, sixteen-plus years as owner and qualifying broker of his own firm, over a hundred and twenty houses personally renovated and resold in New Mexico, and more than 300 client reviews published across Zillow, Google, Yelp, Angi, Facebook and Nextdoor.
The Albuquerque metro and the surrounding communities, including Rio Rancho, Corrales, Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, Placitas, Bernalillo, the East Mountains communities of Tijeras, Cedar Crest and Sandia Park, plus Los Lunas, Belen, Bosque Farms, and the Santa Fe corridor.
Commissions are negotiable and he does not lock clients into long term agreements. He will tell you the full cost structure, including what comes out at closing, before you sign anything. The figure that matters is your net, and he calculates it up front.
Yes, and it is a large part of his business. The operation is paperless, he coordinates estate clear-outs, make-ready work, cleaning and staging on your behalf, and he sends documented updates so you are not guessing from a thousand miles away.
Yes. First time buyers get the same walkthrough and cost analysis as anyone else, plus a read on the property from someone who has renovated more than a hundred and twenty houses in this market and can tell you which problems are cosmetic and which ones are expensive.
Buying, selling, relocating, investing, or just working out whether now is the right time. No agreement to sign and no cost to ask, and if the answer is that you should wait, he will say so.
