Locate the perfect property for you: although many properties are viewable on the internet, we keep close tabs on our Taos inventory and can quickly help you determine which might be right for you.

Help find financing: Prequalifying for a loan greatly quickens the buying process. We can assist you in finding a good mortgage broker so you can DETERMINE WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD.

Envision changes: We can often recommend changes that would help a home fit your needs and we can provide names of qualified vendors to do the work.

Negotiate the best deal for you: We often prove our worth during negotiations. Armed with information on comparable sales, we can help you navigate the world of offers, counteroffers, bidding wars and contract deadlines. We help you structure contingencies that must be met before the final sale, such as selling a home, obtaining a mortgage or passing an inspection.

Tip: To avoid overpaying, ask yourself, "if I have to sell this property within a year, can I get my money out?" This is the ultimate test to avoid overpaying.

Important note: We are REALTORS, members of the National Association of Realtors, and are bound by its strict Code of Ethics.
