We had a very tight budget, which is especially challenging in the Santa Fe market, but they made it happen.

They did the research, slightly challenged the price I wanted to list my home for, and backed up their proposed pricing with cold hard facts. Once I read the facts, it was undeniable that I would have asked too much for my home given the history of sales in the area and I would have priced my home beyond what the market would bear. I agreed that their pricing was more in line, but it was still a reach, however we all agreed it was doable. Once I signed with Adam & Bunny, they went right to work getting stunning photographs, videos, and aerial footage of the home and property. Adam even took it upon himself to fix our mailbox that wasn't standing exactly straight up! Adam also went out of his way to hold an open house every single weekend that the house was on the market! Within 34 days, and just a couple of days after the presidential election, we had a full price cash offer with an additional offer made for the entire contents of the home! On top of that, the buyer wanted to close quickly which suited us just fine. Bunny and Adam guided me through the entire process and advised me along the way and we closed without a hitch. I literally couldn't have asked for anything more than what I got in terms of professionalism, experience, and service from Bunny and Adam. They did a fantastic job marketing my property in the local newspaper, through social media, and through open houses aimed at brokers and buyers. They absolutely killed it! And out of the 4 homes in my area that were on the market over the past 6 months, only mine has sold. I think that says it all!!

Believe it or not, a lot of people are pretty savvy when it comes to purchasing real estate and don't need to be "saved" by a real estate agent. I've bought and sold my own homes for years, so I know exactly what you do for that big commission of yours. By the way, I love my new agent - she is the whole package, and absolutely the spirit of "New Mexico kind" to strangers when they call her AND respects my own ability to be a home buyer. She is now not only looking for my new home there in Santa Fe, but also a new home for our business. Lesson here? Be nice and don't answer the phone if you are having a bad day.

Things we really liked about the service received from Craig were his good communication, excellent selling strategy, very pleasant to work with and knowledgeable. He listened well to our needs and desires. More than anything he actively promoted our property. As such we had an offer in 55 days in which we closed the sale. Most properties in our area are taking twice to three times as long to sell with one property on our lane that has been on the market for over a year. Not only did we sell our house but we also made a very good friend in Craig.

We used Darlene Strait to represent us in the purchase of our second vacation rental in Santa Fe…read morelast week and she was truly outstanding. Before choosing a real estate agent, my wife and I conducted a great deal of research to see who the best choice would be based on track record, support staff, skills and ability to problem solve. Darlene and her experienced team stood out as the best Santa Fe had to offer. We spoke with Darlene, and then met her in person at the initial home in which we were interested. She spent hours answering our questions, providing objective data regarding the neighborhood, and ultimately helped us come to the realization that the first property did not fit our long-term objectives. Knowing we had flown in to see the property, and wanting to maximize our time in Santa Fe, Darlene and her team immediately lined up 4-5 additional homes to view later that same afternoon. Darlene made the buying experience incredibly easy, was a problem-solver throughout the process and took extra steps that many other realtors would not (but should). Most importantly, Darlene is about S E R V I C E. She promptly returns all text messages, calls and emails, and will make you feel like you are her only client. Her team stays on top of deadlines with inspectors, title companies and mortgage bankers. She is organized and fluid, not to mention solid as a rock to work with. We have since recommended Darlene to everyone we know who are looking in the Santa Fe market. We also just recently referred a close family member to her. She's a true professional as well as a genuinely nice person. We think you'd be hard pressed to find a better real estate professional than her.

I quickly discovered she had every reason to be at the top of the list. Darlene was incredibly responsive which is such a pleasure these days. We often laughed that she called before we even pressed send when we texted and needed something. She also guided us to a perfect house for us, and was patient when we wanted to see some not so perfect choices. Darlene made the entire transaction seamless, which is saying a lot with a relocation move. She knows everyone, she continues to be great after we closed and honestly, I can say she is the best real estate agent I have ever met. And I have known many. I can absolutely recommend Darlene and you will be lucky to have her.

STOP! Your search is over: Maya is right here and she is the perfect person for your real estate…read moreneeds. Buying our last property was neither a simple nor straightforward process. We have purchased properties before, but this one was completely out of our comfort zone. Many before us had tried to solidify a deal on the property and all had failed. Most realtors would have shied away from the challenge, but Maya stepped in and confidently shaped our deal from the ground up. When we started the process there was no current listing for the property, the comps were all over the place, and communication with the owner was difficult. Essentially starting from nothing, we came out on the other side with an agreement that was copacetic for all parties. Between the exploratory drilling and the soils reports, we spent months waiting to close. Even though Maya could have easily pushed to close sooner, she waited patiently through each step until we were ready to proceed to the next phase. Throughout the process Maya listened carefully to our needs, voiced her concerns, and clearly stated unknowns. She never put on airs to try and impress us or lead us on in order to make the sale. In a process that could have been extremely trying, Maya perfectly balanced being our advocate and guide. A blend of sugar, spice, and experience make for the best deals, and that is Maya's magic: the perfect balance of everything you need to realize, shape, and guide your experience of buying a home.

Great if you already have a practice and can use facilities on your own, but we also found it was very reasonable to just hire a teacher from Santa Fe to come up for a private lesson. Hiking right outside your door. Every bedroom (plus the cabin!) is set up perfectly to make you feel like a VERY ZEN queen/king. Watch the sunrise and the sunset over the mountains, while you swing on the front swings. Eat dinner under the stars or in the formal dining room. The choices are endless at Rass Mandal. The experience of this house unlocked possibilities, I'm not even kidding! It is a ways up the mountain road-- so not for people who really wan ot be in the center of twon. But we really had no trouble getting to town when we wanted to go out and explore. Mostly though you'll want to stay in, trust me! :) Also Richard is the nicest. Very helpful and the entire process was overall easy. Enjoy your stay at Rass Mandal!!

We could not be happier to have found Barker Realty and specifically Stephanie Duran (at the advice…read moreof Yelp reviews we read while looking for an agent!). House hunting is a stressful ordeal, no matter what HGTV would have us all believe, and having a great realtor on your side makes ALL the difference. Stephanie was awesome: honest, on top of the details, fun to spend time with, and quick to "get" us and what we were looking for. She immediately pinpointed specific areas she knew would be a good fit and had really valuable insights--not just knowledge--about different neighborhoods in the Santa Fe area. She found us some great pocket listings, and she and Juli (her fantastic assistant) even Facetimed with us to show us listings that caught our interest online (since we were looking from out of state). We initially made an offer on a house that turned out to have some non-negotiable issues during the inspection, and Stephanie was a total professional about processing the termination quickly and going to bat for us over a slight hiccup in closing things out. When we finally found the right house, Stephanie was on her way home from vacation, but she put an offer together for us in a matter of hours--from the airport. Throughout the homebuying process, she was wonderful about proactively getting repair bids, recommending reliable contractors, and going the extra-extra mile anytime we needed her. In our interactions with other listing agents and our home inspector, it was clear that she is a highly respected and regarded real estate professional in Santa Fe, yet she's super approachable, has a great sense of humor, and gives off zero sales-y or pretentious vibes. We felt 100% confident that she absolutely had our best interests at heart. It's also worth mentioning that everyone else we dealt with at Barker was lovely too, and the communication from the entire team was on point throughout the process. We'd work with Stephanie--and Barker--again in a heartbeat. You should too!

When my partner and I were looking to sell our single-family house in Santa Fe this summer, we…read moreimmediately thought of reaching out to the Realtor who helped us buy the very same house in 2021. Our experience working with her to purchase the property was excellent, and we had no hesitation in working with her again. However, our experience with selling our house could not have been any more different from what it was when we bought it: it was unpleasant, uncomfortable, and demoralizing. I want to acknowledge that the housing market shifted quite a bit in Santa Fe after the federal administration change earlier this year. I do not fault our Realtor for that reality, which led us to have to lower the price of our house significantly to meet the demand in the local market. However, our Realtor seemed more interested in appeasing the buyers of our house than supporting and advocating for us as her actual clients. To start, the "professional" photographs of our house were bad. They were so bad that we could have easily gotten better ones on our smartphones. When my partner tried to raise this point, she was gaslit and told that the pictures were fine. She also said that they were not even partially responsible for the slower activity in the house. The ironic part was that we knew this was wrong because we were actively buying a house at the same time. Next, our Realtor was repeatedly condescending toward my partner, which did not occur the first time we worked with her. She also induced multiple panic attacks with her unwarranted catastrophizing, unsupportive approach to communicating the buyers' questions to us, and lack of advising when her expert opinion was sought. It made the whole experience way more stressful than it should have been. Further, our Realtor stated quite defensively that she would "earn [her] keep" during contracts and negotiations when we first met in her office. We never even questioned that, so it was very odd to hear that. However, I would argue that she did not earn her keep since her only "strategy" was giving the buyers more and more money. She never attempted to help us with other types of concessions or strategies to drive interest in our house and protect our bottom line as we moved into buying our next property, which was critical for an appraisal waiver we had to maintain. We suspect that we were treated this way because our house was not worth very much in the Santa Fe market (~$400,000 vs. a median price of $850,000). However, when selling agents charge a 3% commission on the property's price, I expect much more than what we received. Let's face it: most real estate legal documents consist of boilerplate. What makes a Realtor or real estate agent valuable is their expert advice and advocacy for what matters most to their clients. When that is absent, that person becomes much more of a liability than an asset to these transactions. The only reason the rating is not 1 star is that we did ultimately sell our home on time. However, this was with huge tradeoffs, including losing a lot of money we probably did not need to lose on the deal.

Working with them from across the country was no problem, as they kept my husband and I informed of what to expect every step of the way. We were able to find the right house on our first visit.

One night Brett stayed "on standby" while we figured out a solution for a problem re: buying remotely from the particular state we were living in. Without us prompting him, he sent a helpful email with an urgent question about our situation while we were tied up with paperwork at an office across the county. He also did extra follow up to ensure that our transaction went smoothly, when we had to deal with a medical emergency at the same time. We highly recommend working with Brett and Danielle.
