Welcome
I am a leading real estate sales professional in Santa
Fe and northern New Mexico. For nearly 20 years.
I have put
experience and expertise to work for my clients every day.
At Santa Fe Properties, I am known as the “Walking Resource
Book" and
for good reason! My in-depth knowledge and broad perspective
of this unique real estate market gives my customers an edge,
whether they’re buyers or sellers.
- I do the work
- When you have questions,
I find answers. I pride myself on being available to my clients seven
days a week and I don’t delegate to an office assistant or realtor-in-training.
Phone calls and emails are returned quickly and personally. Open
houses are hosted personally.
And, when I’m with a client, that client
has 100% of my attention; I’m not juggling calls, appointments, and
other distractions.
How do you define success?
In my view, success is about providing
superior, value-added customer service. Based on my results, the formula
works! Many of my customers have been with me for decades, and nearly
all my clients come to me from referrals.
Professional recognition is another way of keeping score.
In a highly
competitive environment, I am consistently ranked as one of Santa Fe’s
top real estate professionals. Awards are great, but the real reward
comes from a client who says,
“Susan, we couldn’t
have done it without you!”
The Formula that Works
Know the area. I specialize in the many diverse neighborhoods of
Santa Fe itself (including the historic East Side and South Capitol
districts), as well as in Santa Fe County and the surrounding counties.
My specialty area extends north along the 285 corridor, to include
Tesuque, Pojoaque, and Nambe; northwest to Aldea, Las Campanas and
La Tierra; southeast to Eldorado and Galisteo; east to Glorieta,
Pecos, and communities in San Miguel County; and south to Rancho
Viejo, Nava Ade and communities along the Turquoise Trail. Properties
include single family residences, condos, town homes, large estates,
lots, horse properties, ranches, commercial real estate and even
sales of existing businesses. Whether you’re looking for your first
home, an equestrian estate, or a vacation retreat, I will find the
property that’s right for you.
Experience Counts
It’s true in every
profession, and it’s especially important in Santa Fe’s unique market.
I have been a real estate broker for the past 19 years and have been
recognized as one of Santa Fe's top producers for many of those years.
There are many realtors in Santa Fe, but there are very few who share
my in-depth knowledge of this market. I bring a unique perspective
to a real estate transaction which gives my clients, buyers and sellers,
a significant advantage.
It’s in the details
Real estate isn’t just
about showing properties. My expertise with contractual and financing
issues, negotiations and market analysis is vitally important to
every successful transaction. Challenges are a part of the business,
and I am a tough negotiator on behalf of my clients. I work for you
It’s a matter of pride
I take pride in every facet of buying and
selling real estate, including “leg work,” like researching a property’s
transaction history. It may not be glamorous, but I’ve often found
that doing a little digging often turns up information that can have
vital implications for a buyer or seller.
Clients know best My buy-side
clients very often become my listing clients. It’s a great vote of
confidence, and it gives me a long-term perspective on a property
that’s unusual in real estate. Specifically, when I’m working with
buyers, I strategize with them about resale issues related to the
property before the purchase. What objections might a future buyer
have? What improvements or changes could enhance resale value? Those
are important considerations because it’s not “just” your dream home;
it’s a significant investment too.
