It is our first home purchase. David is extremely patient, understanding and responsive during the process. There is an issue with the seller but David was there to negotiate on a deal to get us some discount. At the end of the sale, David prepared us a file book which organizes all the important documents of the sale process. My husband and I are extremely thankful to have worked with David.

He has successfully managed both a sale and a purchase of two different homes for me. He was extremely professional in all business matters. I would unequivocally again use his services. Always a pleasure to work with him.

We worked with Dave Melford on buying AND selling both our houses in the Pasadena area. He listed to what we wanted and helped us find the right places. He also did a great job of facilitating our last sale after we had relocated out of state, and really went over and beyond to make sure the sale would close on time. I would (and have already) recommended Dave to anyone who wants an engaged realtor who listens to your needs and desires when buying or selling a house.

experience and knows the Pasadena and surrounding area
very well. He is always available to take your call and inquiries.
I have bought and sold homes with David and I recommend
him to everyone.
