My Special Offer Just for You

This offer extends to Sandia Labs employees, their family, and friends to whom they forward this specific offer, as well as Sandia contractors, active duty military, veterans, teachers, and first responders. Simply have them print out the referral email or just mention this SandiaPerks.com website before we make any offers on homes.

Free consultations for clients interested in increasing and diversifying their wealth through real estate investment.

Free professional consultations regarding home value or what to do to add value (basic design guidance/consulting).

Free expert advice anytime on buying, selling, renting, and/or remodeling real property in the Albuquerque or Santa Fe metro areas.

For Sellers: We will list and sell your home for only 4.75% instead of the typical 6.0% commission most Albuquerque brokers charge. This could save you over $6000 on a $500K home!

For Buyers: We are required to comply with the new realtor rules and regulations that went into effect in 2024, including requiring signed Buyer Broker Agreements prior to touring homes (read about them HERE ). Most Sellers in our market are still paying Buyer Broker Commissions, however, sometimes that is less than 3%. I am willing to accept as low as 2.25% without requiring you pay to make up any amount, and if they still pay 3% (most do), I will rebate the 0.25% back to you upon Closing! Our agreement can also be cancelled by you at anytime, so it does not lock you in, providing you with flexibility and no burden. This is the best Buyer Broker Agreement in our market, feel free to shop around to confirm!

How I am DIFFERENT than other Real Estate Brokers

I am the unofficial Sandia Realtor

I was a staff member at Sandia Labs for over 7 years.
Of the $40M/yr I sell in real local real estates, about half from my extensive Sandia network, mostly repeat business or personal referrals.
I have 25+ years of experience, selling almost 1600 properties totaling almost $500M, over 750 past clients from Sandia and plenty of excellent references, just ask around or ask me for names!

Outstanding Service

Simply Google: David Stafford Albuquerque to TONS of excellent organic customer reviews about me all across the web (links below).
I have numerous references at Sandia you may call directly, some of whom I am working with at this moment, and you may be working with them too (at Sandia)!
We use the latest tech tools to optimize marketing, to stay on top of the local market, to stay in communication with our clients, and to respect your time and be highly efficient.

I grew up here and actively invest in our local real estate market

I own 20+ properties locally as an investor with over 35 tenants, in residential, multi-family, small commercial, and AirBnB properties.
I have rehabbed and sold (flipped) over 120 homes in the ABQ area.
I understand how to optimize a property in order to maximize your return and I can help you do it correctly and inexpensively.
I started, ran, and then sold a property management company, so I can advise you on rental rates and management, including recommendations.

Education and Experience

I served 6 years in the US Navy’s Nuclear Energy Program and 7 years at Sandia National Laboratories. I hold a bachelor’s degree in biology and an MBA. I have extensive business and real estate experience and I have been the owner and qualifying broker of 360 Ventures for over 21 years.
I have been investing in real estate for over 30 years.
I understand how to use contracts to reduce your liability and protect your interests and I employ powerful negotiation strategies to benefit you.
My unique combination of experience and education make me the professional’s real estate professional!
