Bio
David Melton serves as the Principal Broker of Pointe Commercial Real Estate (PCRE) and Vice President of Operations for Pointe Property Group, both based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and leads a team of brokers. As a Capital Markets Advisor, David works with private investors, family offices, and institutional groups to structure commercial real estate transactions that maximize returns, unlock equity, and optimize capital strategy across Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. With more than 4 decades of experience, he is widely recognized as a trusted advisor in investment sales, equity recapitalization strategies, portfolio repositioning, and capital-deployment modeling. Under his leadership, PCRE continues to expand its Southeast footprint with brokerage operations serving Chattanooga, Cleveland, TN, and Dalton, Georgia.
David specializes in identifying, underwriting, and executing high-performing investment opportunities across the office, retail, healthcare, industrial, automotive, and hospitality sectors. His expertise includes sale-leaseback structuring, tax-efficient 1031 Exchange guidance, income stabilization planning, and value-add repositioning strategies that appeal to both active operators and passive capital groups. His approach blends financial analysis, capital markets insight, and transaction structuring—working closely with attorneys, CPAs, lenders, financial advisors, and private capital firms to ensure each deal supports liquidity, risk mitigation, and long-term wealth creation for his clients.
Licensed in Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama, David leads a team of brokers and advisors who specialize in submarket-driven sourcing, off-market investment origination, landlord representation, and capital advisory strategies. Whether representing investors in the disposition of stabilized NNN assets or helping structure sale-leaseback transactions to enhance balance sheet leverage for owner-operators, David is highly regarded for his institutional-level advisory approach, precise execution, and discretion. With a deep understanding of capital flows in the Southeast, tenant demand, and underwriting fundamentals, David has earned a reputation for delivering verifiable results across all market cycles.
David’s advisory practice includes strategic specialization across multiple income-producing asset types, and he remains a sought-after capital markets resource for investors seeking to buy, sell, reposition, or reallocate capital across diversified real estate portfolios.
