Super knowledgeable of the Santa Fe real estate market. Well connected to the broker network. Depth of experience showed in everything from pricing, staging, negotiations, to closing. Truly appreciated their professionalism in working FOR us. We felt we were in good hands while both buying and selling with Ricky & Cathy. They are a team that we would work with again.

Ricky and Cathy were absolutely professional, knowledgeable, and could not have been more helpful. We recommend them without reservation. They listened to us, showed us everything that fit, negotiated carefully on our behalf, and handled the escrow and closing flawlessly.

We are new to Santa Fe and loved the professional service we received from Ricky Allen and Cathy Griffin when we bought our condo. We have already referred our friends to them. We recommend them both without reservation.

We started with another realty group and agent team and then switched to Ricky and Cathy. In the midst of a pandemic, and the unique characteristics of our home, Ricky and Cathy showed the kind of steady hand that got the job done. Ricky listened very carefully to our needs and what we thought were the strengths of the home and then those things were highlighted in the online and printed materials, as well as during showings. Their manner was always respectful to us and potential buyers. They responded quickly to questions and concerns. I would highly recommend them for selling any property in the Santa Fe area. We are grateful for their efforts.

Cathy is absolutely a joy to have as an agent. She was patient to my questions and showing as many houses as it took to find the "one", and was super responsive. When she didn't know an answer, she always followed up. She was interested in what my family's needs were, and even went the extra mile to make a connection for my teenage daughter! I highly recommend her to both locals and newbies to the Santa Fe area.
