Residential Brokers - Palm Desert, California

Alber Melara

I had the pleasure of working with Joseph Melara as my real estate agent for both buying and selling a house in Desert Hot Springs. Joseph's expertise and dedication to his clients are truly commendable. He facilitated my purchase years ago, and when it was time to sell, he proved his excellence once again.

Joseph's swiftness and clear communication made the entire process seamless. He's not only efficient but also exceptionally attentive to his clients' needs. I wholeheartedly recommend Joseph's services to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in the Palm Springs region. His professionalism and market knowledge make him a top choice for real estate transactions.

I had an exceptional experience working with Joseph Melara as my real estate agent. He recently sold my house in Indio, California, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Joseph's expertise and dedication to his clients truly shone throughout the entire process.

What impressed me most was Joseph's speed and clear communication. He was swift in getting our property sold, and he kept us informed every step of the way. It's evident that he goes the extra mile to ensure his clients are well-informed and comfortable throughout the selling process.

Thanks to Joseph's efforts, we received top dollar for our home. His knowledge of the Coachella Valley market is unparalleled, and it clearly reflects in the results he delivers. Whether you're buying or selling a house in this area, I wholeheartedly recommend Joseph Melara's services.

If you're seeking a real estate agent who is not only skilled but also genuinely cares about your needs, Joseph Melara is the professional you can trust. I'm incredibly grateful for his assistance and would gladly work with him again in the future.

I've been working with Joseph Melara at Residential Brokers for a while now as a real estate photographer. Joseph puts in serious effort to make sure his clients get top-notch representation. I'm a stickler for detail in my photography business, and Joseph's attention to presenting homes for sale is spot-on. If you want to market your house like a pro and get the best deal when selling, I highly recommend Joseph. He's your go-to guy!

Joseph Melara from Residential Brokers did an amazing job selling our home when we needed to move out of state. He made our house look fantastic in the photos, which got a lot of people interested. We got over 10 offers, and we even sold it for $50,000 more than what we asked for. If you're thinking about selling your house in Indio or anywhere in the Coachella Valley, I definitely suggest working with Joseph. He knows how to make things happen!

I contacted Joseph Melara to sell my house in Coachella, and he really knocked it out of the park. His marketing skills were on point, and he managed to sell my place for $40,000 more than what it was appraised for. After that, he helped me find a great long-term rental while I weighed my options for a new home purchase. Joseph, you're the real deal! Thanks a bunch

I recently bought a house in Palm Desert Country Club, and Joseph Melara was a fantastic help in navigating the communities. My priority was finding a place with low to no HOA fees, and Residential Brokers interactive community guide was a game-changer. It allowed me to explore communities and sort by HOA fees, making my search much easier. Joseph and his community guide were incredibly helpful!

Approximately one year ago, I purchased a home in Indio, California and was represented by Joseph Malera. I purchased the home with another individual and it was a 50/50 purchase agreement.

The other owner of the home decided they wanted to sell there half of the home this past September. At this time, I decided to purchase the entire home. Once again I was represented by Joseph Malera. He charged me a large fee and did not represent me, but instead represented the seller.

The following took place during this transaction. The agent (Joseph Malera) participated in unethical real estate practices and admitted to it.

1. He did not represent me with the title company involved. I was not kept abreast of monies transferred, date of closing, etc.

2. I was never allowed to do a professional walk through prior to purchasing the home. He just sent pictures with a visual inspection done by the seller and himself.

4. He also did not have any of the correct money information in the escrow account. He was trying to handle transactions with the seller without consulting with me, the buyer. I was paying all fees.

5. He was dishonest in a transaction relating to a golf cart that was to be paid for at closing. He said that he would have a fed ex envelope to mail the monies at walk through, neither took place.

Buyer and Seller Beware! Do not buy or sell a house with Joseph Malera.

There is a review on this Broker (Mr. Joseph Melara) by Ms. Francine Failoni that is totally and utterly inaccurate. I am the other person Ms. Failoni purchased the home with, so I know the “true” details. Initially I was not selling my half to her. We were going to put the house on the market because Ms. Failoni and I were splitting up, and Joseph Melara was to be the selling agent. Then Ms. Failoni decided she wanted to buy me out. And he never did anything unethical — that is a “lie”. Ms. Failoni’s review list 4 items. I will address them one by one:
1. The title company involved represented both myself and Ms. Failoni. They kept us both up to date on everything involved. Ms. Judy Hathaway of Equity Plus can “verify” that fact. Ms. Failoni frequently ignores Emails and Text message. She is very difficult to reach
2. And she was offered a “Walkthrough” and I am sure Mr. Melara can provide written proof. He sent her a message (and also sent it to her sister who lives in the same development) offering a walkthrough at their leisure. Since I left the home a few days before closing, he sent photos to “prove” (at my request) I left the house in excellent shape.
3. There is no 3
4. Equity Pus handled all the financial information. And Ms. Failoni paid all the fees because I refused to pay any of them. The house was worth much more than the amount she was paying me, so I told her I would not pay any fees, Mr. Melara had nothing to do with that. Once again, totally inaccurate account of what transpired.
5. The Golf Cart sale was initially in the sales contract. Ms. Failoni made him take it out, and stated “in writing” she would provide the money at closing. I left Mr. Melara the FEDEX envelop to mail the check to me in North Carolina. There was never any mention of providing it at a walkthrough. Ms Failoni was not even in California at closing. And she DID NOT provide a check at closing for the Golf Cart. It took me a week after closing of badgering her to get her to honor her commitment. Her review of Mr. Melara is disrespectful and dishonest. AND I WOULD SWEAR TO MY REVIEW UNDER OATH.
