About David

When buying or selling a home, you absolutely want, need, and should demand depth of expertise, true quality and experience, and service like it used to be! A new or part time agent is not what you want, and just because someone is an acquaintance or old family friend, that does NOT qualify them to best protect your interests. I am the professional’s real estate professional. I built my business and reputation through hard work, honesty, and integrity, which you can perceive as you read my past customer reviews, here and elsewhere online. I grew up here in Albuquerque and I actively invest in real estate here (I buy/hold many rentals and I buy/remod/sell about 8-12 houses/flips per year), so I am currently actively buying and selling with my own money on the line in our market! This is a very IMPORTANT point! I have refined my powerful searching and negotiating skills to benefit my buyers and I have developed innovative and effective marketing strategies to benefit my sellers. I will walk through your home and tell you exactly what we should do, how much it will cost, and who can do it quickest and cheapest so we can optimize the net dollar return for you. I have flipped over 100 houses in NM and know where to focus your time/effort/money in order to sell for top dollar quickly. I am a one stop shop, so I can help you get EVERYTHING done from start to finish, whether you are local or out of state. I can arrange for everything from estate sales, to minor make ready rehabs, to final cleaning, staging, and even disposing of unwanted items. My team and I are the only comprehensive solution to help you take it from idea to sold without hassle, stress, or high cost. I can tell you exactly what I expect to sell your home for and how much money you will walk away from closing with. No other broker in Albuquerque can bring more breadth and depth of business, marketing, and real estate expertise to the table for customers than I do. I have been the president and qualifying broker of my own real estate company for over 16 years. Before that I spent 6 years in the US Navy, and 7 years as staff at Sandia National Laboratories. I hold a master’s degree in business (MBA) from the University of New Mexico and I have vast business experience, including very strong negotiation and risk management skills based on my experience writing multi-million dollar contracts on behalf of the US Dept of Energy. My commissions are reasonable and negotiable and I am very agile and flexible in how I serve my clients (we work creatively to solve any situation you have… I can even make you a cash offer for a quick sale on your property). The bottom line is that I offer top quality expertise to help you find or sell the right property for YOU… at the lowest expense possible. I can do this because I run a lean and efficient operation that maximizes use of technology. I am paperless and I stay on top of market information and communication with clients, so whether your are local or remote, I make it easy. I do not lock you into long term contracts to work with me, so give me a try for as long or as little as you’d like – I promise you will be happy and tell all your friends about the service you experienced. Send me any real estate related questions anytime and I will gladly respond, consider me your free local expert resource. Thanks for reading about me, as you can tell, I am not just the average real estate broker! I look forward to meeting you and putting my expertise to work for you.

Great Agent

David helped us buy our home a few years back and we had a great experience so we asked him to help list and sell our home this year. As this was our first time selling a home, we had plenty of questions and little experience with the process. He is laid back, communicative, and always more than happy to discuss details of the process and answer questions. David did an excellent job of using his experience to negotiate during the sale and provide no-pressure advise when needed. I highly recommend using David and his team when buying or selling.

Excellent Professional Realtor

Interviewed three realtors, out of the three David stood out strong. He was honest, a straight shooter, no fluff and stuff to get the contract. He told us what the range of the cost and service projection would be and how much he thought the house may be worth. David went above and beyond, we moved out of state before we put the house on the market waiting on a contractor to finish up the floors. David and his team stepped in and worked with our contractor, until the job was completed so we would not have to travel back. We asked all kinds of questions as we never sold a home before, when we were stumped he explained each outcome and helped us sell our home. This team is who you need and should want if you want a good old fashioned honest and trustworthy realtor. Other realtors may promise you the pie in the sky but listen to David and you will get the real thing. Have patience David and his team is working with every business who has to touch this sale from you to the financial companies to the potential new buyers. Down to earth good oh boys!!!!

Fantastic Experience!

We first used David to find our home when we moved to the area a few years back. Because we were so pleased with that buying experience we knew we would continue our relationship with David and his team at 360 Ventures Real Estate ABQ when we decided to list our home for sale this year. As expected in our recent sale, the team went above and beyond to make sure our sale was as smooth as possible. David was patient as we went back and forth on the timing of our sale and when we wanted to go to market. Every step of the process was well explained and communicated. David is always honest and level in his approach to the home buying/selling process. He Provided all the advice and recommendations we needed to maximize our home’s appeal to potential buyers, and when the multiple offer came above list price, his negotiation skills were unmatched as we worked through choosing the right buyer for our home. His team (Michelle and Melissa) were with us the whole way in supporting the listing and coordination process. If you haven’t called David yet, I’ll end this review here so you go get him in your corner. You won’t be disappointed.

A very easy experience

David and Melissa helped us with our recent home purchase and we found them to be knowledgeable and experienced and very easy to work with. We especially appreciated the help with negotiating a fair and reasonable contract price in a competitive market. They guided us through the process and it went very well- no fuss! They were always available and very helpful.
