New Mexico Relocation & Referral Promotion

Are you considering buying real estate in New Mexico? I work with an extensive group of REALTORS®, real estate agents, and relocation experts in New Mexico in a kind of referral network. Using this referral system ensures my clients receive first rate service, even when their real estate needs extend beyond my Multiple Listing coverage area. I have very tough standards and high criteria that must be met by any New Mexican agent or broker wishing to receive a referral from me. And, being a real estate professional and member of the National Association of REALTORS®, I can identify the first-class from the mediocre. I’ll interview potential agents, investigate their current productivity and asses their past performance as a Buyer’s Agent.

Every move or relocation inherently comes with a myriad of concerns to cope with. Let me provide the valuable service of seeking out and initiating contact with a highly qualified New Mexican real estate professional that’s eager to assist you.

Naturally, the first question that arises is, “How much is this valuable service going to cost me?” Now, here’s where a good deal get’s better;

$ When I Give a Referral, You Get Paid $

Just for allowing me to put you in touch with a skilled New Mexican real estate professional, I’LL PAY YOU! It’s commonplace, when applicable, for real estate agents to share a portion of their Buyer’s Agent Commission with the referring agent. It’s a show of appreciation and is aptly known as a referral fee.

I’LL GIVE 50% OF THE REFERRAL FEE TO YOU!

And remember, as a home buyer it costs you absolutely nothing for top notch professional representation. All the real estate commissions are paid by the seller, who has already negotiated and entered into a contractual agreement with their New Mexican Listing Agent prior to their house being listed on the market.

Prime importance: in order to get paid for your next move or New Mexico property purchase, all I ask that you CONTACT ME FIRST. That’s the only way I can seek out a qualified New Mexican agent and arrange the introductions.

New Mexico Real Estate

The State of New Mexico or Estado de Nuevo México is a southwestern state in the United States of America. Over its relatively long history it has also been occupied by Native American populations and has been part of the Spanish viceroyalty of New Spain, a state of Mexico and a U.S. territory. Among U.S. states, New Mexico has simultaneously the highest percentage of Hispanic Americans (some recent immigrants and others descendants of Spanish colonists) and the second-highest percentage of Native Americans (mostly Navajo and Pueblo peoples). As a result, the demographics and culture of the state are unique for their strong Spanish, Mexican, and U.S. Amerindian cultural influences. The United States Census Bureau estimates that the state population was 1,954,599 in 2006, a 7.45% increase since 2000.

The eastern border of New Mexico lies along 103°W with Oklahoma, and 3 miles (5 km) west of 103°W with Texas. Texas also lies south of most of New Mexico, although the southwestern boot-heel borders the Mexican states of Chihuahua and Sonora. The western border with Arizona runs along 109° W. The 37° N parallel forms the northern boundary with Colorado. The states of New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and Utah come together at the Four Corners in the northwestern corner of New Mexico.

The landscape ranges from wide, rose-colored deserts to broken mesas to high, snow-capped peaks. Despite New Mexico’s arid image, heavily forested mountain wildernesses cover a significant portion of the state. Part of the Rocky Mountains, the broken, north-south oriented Sangre de Cristo (Blood of Christ) range flanks both sides of the Rio Grande from the rugged, pastoral north through the center of the state.

Cacti, yuccas, creosote bush, sagebrush, and desert grasses cover the broad, semiarid plains that cover the southern portion of the state as well as everywhere else.

The Federal government protects millions of acres of New Mexico as national forests including:

Carson National Forest
Cibola National Forest (headquartered in Albuquerque)
Lincoln National Forest
Santa Fe National Forest (headquartered in Santa Fe)

Other protected lands include the following national monuments:

Aztec Ruins National Monument at Aztec
Bandelier National Monument in Los Alamos
Capulin Volcano National Monument near Capulin
Carlsbad Caverns National Park near Carlsbad
Chaco Culture National Historical Park at Nageezi
El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail
El Malpais National Monument in Grants
El Morro National Monument in Ramah
Fort Union National Monument at Watrous
Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument near Silver City
Old Spanish National Historic Trail
Pecos National Historical Park in Pecos
Petroglyph National Monument near Albuquerque
Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument at Mountainair
Santa Fe National Historic Trail
White Sands National Monument near Alamogordo

Visitors also frequent the surviving native pueblos of New Mexico. Tourists visiting these sites bring significant monies to the state. Other areas of geographical and scenic interest include Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument and the Valles Caldera National Preserve. The Gila Wilderness lies in the southwest of the state.

The climate of New Mexico is sunny and dry. The main factor in the climate of the state is elevation. Areas at the same elevation in the northern and southern extremes of the state may differ by only 3°F, while areas only a few miles apart, but differing in elevation by 4000 feet may have mean annual temperatures which are 15°F apart. Summers in New Mexico are hot below 5000 feet in elevation with daytime highs frequently exceeding 100°F. At the highest elevations, the upper 70's°F is the summertime normal high temperature. The summertime peak is often reached earlier than in the rest of the United States as July and August often bring monsoon moisture to the state as moisture from the Gulf of Mexico comes into the state. Summer nights are comfortable as the temperature drops rapidly as the sun sets. The winters bring cooler temperatures than might be expected for a state at its latitude with daytime highs in the south part of the state only reaching around 55°F in lower elevations in the south, while many higher elevations in the north barely average above freezing. Nights throughout the state tend to be below freezing in the winter. As a general rule, precipitation in New Mexico increases with elevation with the southern desert and the San Juan Valley receiving less than 10 inches per year, while the highest areas of the state receive more than 20 inches per year. Most of the precipitation across the state falls during the monsoon season in July and August. The exception is the area of the state west of the Continental divide which has wetter winters than the rest of the state.

Severe weather is an occasional problem in the state. The entire state is subject to frequent summer thunderstorms in July and August. The northeast portion of the state is most affected by thunderstorms averaging 70 thunderstorm days per year, which is higher than anywhere else in the United States except for the Gulf Coast, Florida, and the adjacent sections of Colorado. These thunderstorms are brief, but can be intense with strong winds, hail, and deadly cloud to ground lightning. Tornadoes are not uncommon in New Mexico with the eastern part of the state more vulnerable. The state, on rare occasions, is affected by the remnants of tropical cyclones, both from storms coming from the western Gulf of Mexico and the eastern Gulf of California. When this happens, the result is usually a heavy downpour with little or no wind damage.
