For Sellers

Your Home’s Best Chapter Yet

A precise valuation, standout marketing, and a smooth sale — handled with care by a local expert.

Thinking of selling your Placitas or Albuquerque home? Here’s where it starts — find out what it’s worth, see how I’ll market it, and grab my free Seller’s Guide.

Start Here

Selling your home is a big move — you deserve a broker who’s all‑in. Born and raised in New Mexico and with La Puerta Real Estate since 2007, I pair a full marketing team — professional media, a marketing firm on retainer, and an in‑house coordinator — with the personal touch of actually answering the phone. The result: homes that stand out, priced to sell, and handled start to finish.

What’s Your Home Worth?

An online estimate is a great starting point — I pair it with a precise, local valuation based on your home, your street, and today’s Placitas & Albuquerque market.
