🌄 A quiet moment above the city...

I took a quick trip up to Sandía Crest last weekend, and it was the perfect reminder of why so many people fall in love with Albuquerque. From the sweeping desert views to the peaceful trails and endless sky—it’s a special kind of calm that’s hard to explain until you see it for yourself.

Whether you’re relocating for work, family, or a fresh start, ABQ has a way of surprising you—in the best ways.

If you’re making a move, especially for a medical residency, fellowship, or new position at one of our hospitals, I’m here to help make the transition easier. I’ve been there—and I’d love to be a resource. 💛

🏡 Referral Closed — and this one started with a hunch.

Right before I moved out of Oregon, I noticed our neighbors were packing up and quietly preparing to sell. There was no sign in the yard, no listing online—just that gut instinct you get when you’ve been doing this a while.

So I did what any real estate-obsessed neighbor would do: I walked over, introduced myself, and got the details. The timing couldn’t have been better—a good friend of mine had been searching for a home in the area.

That intuition helped lead to a successful off-market purchase—no bidding wars, no public listings, just good timing and local insight. Even though I was leaving the state, I’m happy I was able to play a small part in making this one happen.

If you’re dreaming of something specific—on or off the market—I’d love to help you find it (or help you find someone who can). 💛

💡 Pro tip: Off-market deals aren’t magic—they happen when you have someone in your corner who knows what to look for and isn’t afraid to knock on doors (literally).

🏡 Under Contract! 🖊️✨

This one is extra special 💛
I’m helping an amazing couple buy their very first home — and it all started with a referral from a dear friend and fellow broker in another city. 🤝

We hit the ground running. I helped them find a great lender, and on day one of house hunting, we found the one. ✅

We spent time going over the Buyer Broker Agreement, Listing Agreement and Purchase Contract - answering all their questions so they felt confident starting this process and making an offer.

Now we’re officially under contract and moving forward with inspections, appraisal, and then… closing day! 🏁🔑

So grateful for their trust, the teamwork, and the referral that brought us together 💫

Back to the Land of Enchantment! 🌄🌵

After a whirlwind year full of life changes—moving to Oregon to be closer to family, welcoming a beautiful baby, and getting married—we’re officially back in New Mexico! 💛

My husband recently started a new chapter with UNM Hospital here in Albuquerque, and we’re excited to call NM home again. From green chile to big skies to the most amazing sunsets, there’s just nothing like it here.

If you’ve been through a big move yourself (especially with a growing family), you know how much support makes a difference. I’m here to help however I can—whether you’re relocating, nesting, or just looking for your next adventure in New Mexico. ✨

I know firsthand how stressful and chaotic moving can be, but I’ve learned a few tricks along the way to make it smoother.

🏡 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗕𝘂𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻 𝗛𝗢𝗔 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆? 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁! 🏡

Homeowners Associations (HOAs) can provide fantastic benefits—well-maintained neighborhoods and great amenities! But before you buy, it's important to understand common HOA covenants that may affect your lifestyle.

Here are a few to keep in mind:

✅ 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 – Want to paint your house a bold color or install a new fence? Many HOAs require approval before making changes.

🚗 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 – Some communities limit street parking or have rules on RVs, boats, and trailers in driveways.

🌿 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗬𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 – HOAs often regulate lawn upkeep, tree trimming, and even garden decor.

🐶 𝗣𝗲𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 – Certain breeds, sizes, or even the number of pets allowed may be restricted.

📢 𝗡𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗲 & 𝗡𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀 – HOAs may have quiet hours or guidelines on outdoor events to maintain peace in the community.

💰 𝗗𝘂𝗲𝘀 & 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 – Regular HOA fees help maintain common areas, and special assessments can arise for unexpected costs.

Before buying, always review the HOA’s 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 & 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 (𝗖𝗖&𝗥𝘀) to ensure the rules align with your lifestyle!
