After living in the midwest the majority of my early life, I moved to Albuquerque, which was over twenty years ago. Since 1999, I have enjoyed working with buyers and sellers in the greater Albuquerque area. My previous work experience included owning my own business, property management, as well as, work in the law and medical fields. All of these have heightened my knowledge and understanding of the intricacies of real estate. With an eye for detail and ease with contracts, the process from start to finish runs smoothly. Best of all, working together with my clients as a team is not only fulfilling, but it leads to successful outcomes!
I am committed to the real estate field and your continued business so referrals and returning clients are of the utmost importance to me.

We have extensive knowledge of the Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Corrales, Placitas and Santa Fe area and can help you find the right home for you or the right buyer for your home! We are focused on providing you with the best results and service in the industry.  We listen carefully to understand your real estate goals and work hard to create solutions that make sense for you.  Whether you are new to the market or an experienced investor, we have the expertise, proven track record, and resources to help you achieve your real estate goals.

As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:
Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home

Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.

Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.

HERE IS WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT US!!!
Alison Jones -
I have known John and Danielle for several years so automatically called them when we were ready to sell our house. I know that their faith and beliefs lead them in everything they do, so knew that there would never be any questions as to how we would be treated, the honesty that would be involved in the sale and that I would have a hard time finding 2 people more professional than John and Danielle. They have surrounded themselves with people with the same faith and professionalism, so the office staff is caring, helpful and a joy to work with. Had John not done his job, our house would not have sold as quickly as it did and for a fair market price. They know the real estate business,---price houses fairly and market effectively. I would ALWAYS recommend John and Danielle to anyone getting ready to sell a property. I'm honored to not only call them my friends, but business associates as well.

Brandon Burgess -
John and Danielle are amazing, they were with us every step of the way as we were dealing with selling our house. I was so impressed with how on top of everything both of them were and always knew exactly what was happening when we were negotiating with the bank. Would definately use them again if we still lived in NM and will recommend them to any of my friends and family that are selling their homes in the ABQ area

Joseph Morris -
Think of the best possible experience you could ever have with a Realtor and multiply it by 10! John and Danielle are the nicest most genuine and caring realtors you will ever meet. Their primary concern is seeing that you have a pleasant experience in buying a home by providing you with the honesty and integrity. They will never mislead you into buying a home that isn't worth it. They guide you every step of the way and truly work for you throughout the entire process. If I had to rate them on a scale of 1 to 10 I would give them at least a 17 :)

If you need a realtor that won't try to suck you dry in New Mexico. Give John and Danielle a shot. They won't let you down.
~Joe Morris

LEANNE GONZALES -
John and Danielle are trustworthy and scream integrity! They have your best interests at heart and make sure you are completely satisfied with your decision... I would trust no one else with my family or friends for their home buying or selling decisions other than John and Danielle... They exceed expectations and I would reccommend them to anyone and everyone...
Leanne Gonzales-Sanchez

Rachel Guzman -
I highly recommend John and Danielle Clemens for all your Real Estate needs. My husband and I bought and sold our house using their services and it was the easiest and smoothest process we have ever experienced. The whole process took less than one month to finalize. John's knowledge and advice brought both comfort and peace to what some consider a stressful adventure. We have currently lived in our new home for close to four years and couldn't be more pleased. If anyone out there in the Rio Rancho area is looking to buy or sell their home please consider my dear friends John and Danielle, you will not be let down.
Respectfully
Rachel & Mario Guzman

Born and raised in San Francisco, I earned a B.S. degree in Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley and an MBA in Marketing from San Francisco State University.

Our family moved to Albuquerque in 1993 where my husband attended graduate school at the University of New Mexico. We returned to California in 1998 to be closer to family, but were drawn back to Albuquerque in 2000 with a much greater appreciation for Albuquerque’s wonderful climate, affordable housing, spectacular mountain views and a much more relaxed and laid back lifestyle.

With over twenty years sales, marketing and real estate experience, I believe the key to my success stems from listening carefully to your needs, working hard to help you obtain your goals and of course providing stellar customer service. I strive to create win-win situations by creatively negotiating for your best interest while allowing all parties to feel as though they have won.

I never require buyers to sign an exclusive buyer's agency contract. I hope to be chosen based on my experience, strong ethics and no-pressure business style based on mutual trust, respect and loyalty.

As an Accredited Staging Professional, I provide a value added benefit to all my sellers by helping them prepare and stage their homes to bring in top dollar. I can work either with existing furnishings or I can stage vacant homes to creatively and cost-effectively generate an ambiance for successful sale.

Buying and especially selling a home can at times be very stressful. My goal is to always keep the lines of communication open and to provide a compassionate, supportive atmosphere to help you through one of life’s major transitions.
