We’re David Stafford and Melissa Salazar of 360 Ventures Real Estate. When you’re looking for a referral partner in Albuquerque, you should demand a true depth of expertise, and that’s what our team provides. I, David, am an Albuquerque native, a US Navy veteran, and a former Sandia Labs staffer with an MBA and over 22 years of experience as the qualifying broker of our firm.
Our approach is different because we’re not just agents; we are active investors in the market we serve. With over 120 homes flipped and a significant personal portfolio, we bring a powerful level of hands-on knowledge to your clients. This background allows us to see beyond the surface, leveraging deep construction knowledge for buyers and innovative marketing strategies for sellers. Melissa joined the team in 2017, transitioning from a successful photography business where she captured stunning images of homes. Under David’s mentorship, she quickly found her niche as a dynamic buyer’s agent and our listing coordinator, bringing aggressive and creative strategies to secure wins for clients in a fast-paced market.
Together, we offer a seamless, full-service experience. Our team is a one-stop shop that can manage everything from minor rehabs to estate sales and staging, which is invaluable for out-of-state clients. We run a lean, tech-driven, and paperless operation that ensures we are always responsive. Real estate is our passion, but so is building lasting professional relationships, and that includes the one we hope to build with you.
Melissa and David were so incredibly helpful. They answered all of our questions (and we had a lot lol), were very patient, and took time to explain and walk us through the process. The experience was fantastic from start to finish.
David does a lot of remodeling, so he was very knowledgeable about materials and costs as we looked at homes. He was patient as we went back and forth on the timing of our sale and every step of the process was well explained.
David and Melissa never came across as salesy. Most importantly, we never stepped foot in the house during the sales process. They handled everything for us as out-of-state sellers, and we couldn’t be happier.
When you send us a referral, your client will be treated with the same professional expertise and responsive service that has defined our reputation for over two decades. We will keep you in the loop from start to finish, because your trust is a responsibility we take seriously. Our goal is to make you look good for making the connection.
We are responsive, transparent, and communicative. Our team prides itself on being available at a moment's notice and taking the time to answer every question, ensuring your clients feel confident and empowered. By maximizing the use of technology, we make it easy to stay on top of market information and communications, creating a smooth experience for local and remote clients alike.
