"Steve knows all the ins and outs of internet marketing, from strategically placed banner ads, to creating websites with virtual tours that present your property in the best light. The people who bought my home lived out of state and first saw my home on Steve's website. He knows how to make your property get noticed around the country and stand out from the pack."

"Brickland Homes is a custom homebuilding company in Houston, Texas. For several years, Barbara Johnstone represented us in selling our new homes. She was by far the most professional, honest and ethical sales associate we have ever worked with. While she certainly represented our interests to the seller, she made our buyers comfortable with the purchase with her honesty and intergrity. In both representing buyers and sellers, Barbara is highly skilled and would be a true asset to anyone."

"Six years ago a friend in Colorado told me to look up Barbara Johnstone when I moved to Santa Fe because he thought we could become fast friends. I did and we have. Barbara is looking for the perfect house for me in Santa Fe. Although house-hunting is emotional and time-consuming, she has been unfailingly helpful, intuitive, thoughtful and professional. Anyone fortunate enough to work with her is in for a treat. She is not only an exceptional realtor. She is an extraordinary person."

"My new husband and I each put our homes on the market as "For Sale by Owner," planning to move into the house that did not sell. Barbara came by one day to show the house and didn't sell it that day but soon did sell it to another client . . . and then sold several more houses for us. Although we became friends, when she would put on her "real estate broker" hat, she is a professional, creative with financing, full of energy and ideas on how to best present the property. She is possessed with an eye for detail and how to close a transaction. And, I am still looking for her to find my next house."

"If you're looking for a real estate agent, you could not go wrong by working with Carmela Nino of the Santa Fe Agency. Carmela served as my agent for the purchase of my home in December, 2007. We began the house hunting in September of that same year. My business travel and work schedule relegated my househunting to weekends. For a month, I was traveling in Asia. During this time, Carmela consistently sent me e-mails with house listings for me to consider while I could not physically see the homes. She was very conscious of the parameters I had laid out in terms of the kind of home I was seeking as well as the price range I was able to consider, although she also encouraged me to consider some other options when she found a listing that might work for me.
Throughout the process, Carmela was very professional, courteous, accommodating and supportive. Once I found a few properties that were of interest to me, Carmela took me through every step of the offer, counter-offer, inspection, objection, and financial process that most of us have relatively little experience with, as we only buy so many homes in a lifetime. Moreover, as my agent, Carmela worked hard on my behalf to negotiate the price and the conditions of sale, and worked with me to close the deal even in the midst of my multiple problematic absences from Santa Fe. She offered helpful suggestions regarding financing options as well as after-purchase details such as utility billing issues and tradesmen/maintenance contacts.
My experience having Carmela as my realtor was nothing short of fantastic. Her professionalism, empathy and tireless enthusiasm along with her persistent advocacy make her the ideal realtor for anyone seeking to buy a home."

"We were very pleased with Dianne Morgan. She worked endlessly to help us find the right home. From sending us information about available properties, to spending long days taking us to look at homes, Dianne was wonderful and tireless. It is not easy to move from Hawaii to Santa Fe, but her professionalism, due diligence and great communication skills made it that much easier for us. She was with us each step of the process, from looking at each house to finally signing the papers at the closing table. My husband and I cannot thank her enough."

Bill and Linda Zenger
"Neil spent untold hours communicating long distance with us as we selected, negotiated and closed on two new homes in Santa Fe. During that time, we were occupied with packing our belongings and getting our lives in order for the move to New Mexico from another state.
The extra details of a 1031 Exchange required daily phone calls, faxes and emails. Neil did not disappoint. Through clear communication, dependable knowledge, and patient service, we are now settled in our new home in Santa Fe. With Neil, we have a professional and a personal relationship that will last a lifetime."

"I'm sad to leave this neighborhood, but happy my house sold so quickly. Once my new place was ready, I really didn't want the responsibility of covering two mortgages. I needed my house to sell . . . fast.
The day Linda put my house went on the market, the sign was up in the front yard, color flyers were at the house, it was featured listing on SantaFeAgency.com, and she posted it on Craigs list in several different markets. Two days later, we had a very busy open house for the public.
The showings were non-stop, the first offers started coming in ten days later, and we were under contract 14 days after my home had gone on the market. We even had a full-priced back-up offer. According to the MLS system, it's the most any home has sold for in this neighborhood. Great!
It was a crazy month, but without Linda's help
it would have been a lot crazier. She was professional, helpful and easily reachable throughout the entire process. It was a great experience!"

"I communicated with Cynthia over the phone and internet for many years before I was finally ready to move. Unfamiliar with the area, I wanted to explore as many options and areas as possible.
Cynthia was intimately familiar with Santa Fe's neighborhoods and surrounding communities. Just as impressive, she was also well informed about the East Mountains area just north of Albuquerque.
We spent two solid days in the car driving from community to community, home to home. The effort was well worth it! I honestly didn't expect to find my new place on my first trip of serious home shopping, but as we drove through the gate, I had a good feeling. Once inside, that feeling was confirmed . . . I knew it was the one.
I'm very happy with the professionalism, communications and top notch service I received from Cynthia. Buying a home is supposed to be a stressful experience. Mine wasn't! And I have her to thank for that. "

"Carmela was so much help. I'm so grateful she prevented me from making a big mistake on listing my home, which would have caused me so much stress if I had not followed her advice.
I was very impressed with how fast she sold my home, even getting more money than asked.
I have hired realtors in the past, but there's only one realtor I'll hire in the future. Carmela! None have had her professionalism, extensive knowledge, or skill at explaining things. I highly recommend Carmela to my friends and family whenever the opportunity arise. She's exceptional."

"When selecting a REALTOR to sell our home, we interviewed several individuals, but Cynthia was the one who impressed us the most with the services she offered. She paid special attention to our home's "mainstream" features as well as its unique amenities.
Although January is traditionally a slow time for real estate, we credit her hard work with a quick sale at full asking price.
Cynthia provided straight-forward information, she communicated well with potential buyers and us, and cheerfully and professionally responded to our requests. If anyone desired additional information, Cynthia worked hard to search out such details. Her easygoing, fair manner facilitated smooth negotiations. We highly recommend Cynthia as a friendly, personable REALTOR of high integrity."

"We were suprised by a job transfer that left us less than five weeks to locate a new home here in Santa Fe. With Neil's efforts, we were able to see every available house that fit our needs. By dedicating all his time to locating properties, helping us select the right lender and negotiating on our behalf, we found a wonderful new home. Neil then coordinated all the details and our scheduling of inspections, title work, lender deadlines and the escrow company, while we went back to pack and prepare our old home for sale. What a hectic and stressful time!
After all that, we arrived in Santa Fe with all our belongings, pets and extended family and were able to move in the next day.
Thank you, Neil! This could not have worked for us without your patience, knowledge and dedication to our success. "

I never doubt that she's looking out for my best interest. Once she even caught a numerical error that both I and my banker had completely missed. This mistake would have cost me $1,000!
Whenever I have a question, she promptly responds with good, appropriate information. I have the highest regard for Carmela!"

"Carmela put a great deal of time, effort and care into helping me find two wonderful houses.
She guided me through what could have been a frustrating experience with a house that was still being built. She helped me find resources for everything, from a 1031 exchange to kitchen appliances.
She is a real educator at heart with a light touch and a twinkle in her eye, a part of the friendly open spirit that I have found to be the soul of Santa Fe.
