Bought a Single Family home in 2025 in Sandia park, NM. Kori was outstanding from beginning to end of our home shopping and buying experience. She prioritized our busy schedule to show us homes, even interacting with our children to get to know our whole family. She is very knowledgeable in providing input on properties and isn’t afraid to do due diligence in learning important details about the home/ neighborhoods of interest. Kori went above and beyond to match us with the right home and her TC Leah was also very knowledgeable and thorough. Kori was not only efficient but very kind in her frequent communication with us . She is passionate in her work and it shows in each part of the process. Thanks to Kori, we found our next home and absolutely love it.

Bought a Townhouse home in 2025 in Albuquerque, NM. Kori Bristow was so fantastic for us! We are a young couple who have never bought a house before and really had no idea what we were getting into or how to go about ANY of it, and she made the process so simple. Not only is buying a house generally complicated, but we ended up buying a forclosed home and she still made the whole thing as easy as possible on our part. She was available essentially any time we needed her, including when utilities people would need to come out with no heads up. She showed us houses in our price range, which I'm sure was difficult because our budget was definitely on the lower end. She gave actual honest advice and clearly cared about helping us make the right choice as opposed to trying to get us to buy any old house as fast as possible to get on to other clients. We asked her so many questions over the whole process and she never made us feel dumb at all. Not only is she fantastic at what she does, but she's so kind and friendly and always knows someone to help out if you need a contractor or an inspector. Could not possibly give anyone a better review than we could give her, especially hearing all of the horror stories of people having bad real estate agents. Couldn't be us! We hope Kori is around for the next time we need to buy a house down the line.

Sold a home in 2025. Working with Tracy at Venturi Realty Group was fantastic. She constantly helped me through the difficult situation of selling a family member's home, who had passed away. Without her help, I can't imagine how difficult it could have been. We will use her again in the future.

Bought a Single Family home in 2025 in Sandia heights, Albuquerque, NM. Melissa was excellent to work with. She was helpful in pointing out aspects of homes, both good and bad, based on our preferences without feeling like she was steering us one way or another. We were always able to get in touch with her to ask any questions we had or schedule showings even on short notice. Given the choice, we would work with her again.

Bought a Single Family home in 2025 in Rio grande blvd, Albuquerque, NM. Lisa is the gold standard of realtors, and we highly recommend her! We were out of state buyers and knew we would need above and beyond assistance to find and purchase a home. Lisa outperformed our expectations. As our real estate goals quickly changed, multiple times, she was flexible and moved forward with us without batting an eye. Lisa has a deep understanding of local neighborhoods and helped us determine the value of properties, and which neighborhoods would best match our desires. Lisa was always available and responsive, early mornings, afternoons, nights and even holiday weekends. Our aunt and uncle live in town and are knowledgeable of the area and homes, and per our approval, Lisa encouraged them to come to the showings and inspections- which was comforting. We felt like she understood us and our needs. She was never in a rush to sell us a home, even though we were in a rush to buy a home. She would ask us what we thought before giving us her opinion, but at times her honest opinion dissuaded us from making an offer -and likely a mistake. She has a large network of high-quality people to assist with every phase of our real estate purchase. In fact, Lisa has continued to be our reliable resource for professionals to help with our transition to the Albuquerque area. We can honestly say, having Lisa as a realtor made finding the right home, making an offer, understanding all the inspection reports and moving to Albuquerque EASY.

Sold a Condo home in 2025 in Albuquerque, NM. Smooth, Professional Sale of My Older Condo — Sonia Delivered! Selling an older condo in Albuquerque isn’t always easy, but Sonia Kalvert made the entire process smooth, efficient, and even enjoyable. From the very first conversation, she brought a calm confidence and deep knowledge of the local market that immediately reassured me I was in good hands. Sonia took time to understand the unique aspects of the property, gave honest feedback on what buyers would look for, and helped me set a realistic and competitive price. Her marketing strategy was spot on — the photos, listing, and showings were all handled with professionalism and great communication. She was always responsive, proactive with updates, and genuinely looked out for my best interest throughout negotiations and closing. Even with a few minor surprises typical of older condos, Sonia managed them swiftly and kept everything on track. If you’re buying or selling in Albuquerque and want someone who knows the market, works hard for you, and brings real integrity to the table, I highly recommend Sonia Kalvert. She got my condo sold without stress and exceeded my expectations.

Bought a Vacant Land home in 2025 in Rio rancho, NM. I started searching on Zillow and came in contact with Joaquin who was super friendly and helped me get land options, gave his input as well as sending me photos and videos of the land I liked. He went above and beyond as a realtor. I have bought many dozens of acres in the past and NO ONE cared like Joaquin. He called me for updates, his opionions, and the signing process. I trust Joaquin with my reality needs. If he doesnt know the answer, he get the correct answer with his colleagues.

Bought a Single Family home in 2025 in Placitas, NM. Kori made our purchasing process easier, thanks to her professional knowledge and experience. We started with her during a reality check visit before listing our property in Missouri. She checked in with us reasonably during the long wait before we could proceed. When we arrived in New Mexico, she made great arrangements for us with someone who was able to provide us with temporary living arrangements in very nice and comfortable houses. After we had signed our first purchase agreement, we had to bail on that choice and never a complaint from her, only awesome support regarding us doing that. Then, she was there for us every step of the way with the house we are now living in. She always has a smile and warm friendliness every time we see her. Should we ever need to sell this house, there is no doubt we will rely on Kori to get us through that event.

Bought a Single Family home in 2024 in Albuquerque, NM. We were dreading the process of house hunting and were prepared to shop around for real estate agents but fortunately we lucked into working with Sonia on the first go. She relatively new to town but knows the neighbors and properties. She was able to offer valued perspective, answer our questions, and make recommendations that made the whole process easy. She's extremely kind and personable and it helped make a potentially intimidating experience a lot more relaxed. Would absolutely recommend her!

Bought a home in 2024. Gabe is friendly, competent and capable. Both his experience and guidance were appreciated and helpful in the search, offer and closing process. His knowledge of the greater ABQ area and the buying process made for a pleasant search process and a very smooth escrow. Without doubt, we would use his services again and we highly recommend him as a real estate professional.
