We have bought and sold several properties in the area and had previously used many of the local "big name" glossy-you know them agents. Becky at Valdez stuck with us for over one year and dealt with a difficult issue surrounding a family member with dignity, professionalism and grace. I cannot recommend more highly Becky West at Valdez, and the entire team. We will never use another broker again.

This is just a response to Nancy's response. Now I am even more convinced that you are a terrible…read morerealtor - thank goodness I dodged a bullet not hiring you. Believe it or not, a lot of people are pretty savvy when it comes to purchasing real estate and don't need to be "saved" by a real estate agent. I've bought and sold my own homes for years, so I know exactly what you do for that big commission of yours. By the way, I love my new agent - she is the whole package, and absolutely the spirit of "New Mexico kind" to strangers when they call her AND respects my own ability to be a home buyer. She is now not only looking for my new home there in Santa Fe, but also a new home for our business. Lesson here? Be nice and don't answer the phone if you are having a bad day.

I had no doubts or second thoughts about it and it worked out fabulously. She is incredibly efficient and no-nonsense, but down to earth and so easy to work with. Her grace and calm throughout the process is very reassuring. If you are looking for a realtor who goes above and beyond for you, Nancy is the one you want.

If you are thinking to yourself, hm, looks great, but it's kinda pricey... or otherwise second…read moreguessing yourself on this STOP IT and book now. Rass Mandal is worth every penny and more. In fact, if you need another to fill a bedroom inbox me and I'm there (lol, but seriously). This place is perfect. From the moment you arrive, it's impossible to not be transported to a place of peace, tranquility and joy. Multiple decks to see the stunning views. A pool, hot tub, and sauna. A yoga room!!! Great if you already have a practice and can use facilities on your own, but we also found it was very reasonable to just hire a teacher from Santa Fe to come up for a private lesson. Hiking right outside your door. Every bedroom (plus the cabin!) is set up perfectly to make you feel like a VERY ZEN queen/king. Watch the sunrise and the sunset over the mountains, while you swing on the front swings. Eat dinner under the stars or in the formal dining room. The choices are endless at Rass Mandal. The experience of this house unlocked possibilities, I'm not even kidding! It is a ways up the mountain road-- so not for people who really wan ot be in the center of twon. But we really had no trouble getting to town when we wanted to go out and explore. Mostly though you'll want to stay in, trust me! :) Also Richard is the nicest. Very helpful and the entire process was overall easy. Enjoy your stay at Rass Mandal!!
