Mila Lucero was born in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan (sister city of Albuquerque) but her Russian heritage doesn’t keep her from loving Duke City and helping Albuquerqueans find a home.

“I came to Albuquerque, NM as a student at the University of New Mexico and graduated from Anderson School of Management, BBA Financial Management,” Lucero says.

With her diverse work experience, from working for large corporations to managing start up businesses, Lucero’s background contributes greatly to her success as a real estate professional, special on Albuquerque New Mexico real estate .

“I am a professional with a strong financial and sales background and spirit of an entrepreneur,” she says. “What attracted me to real estate is the challenge and uniqueness of every client’s situation. One of my favorite is the moments when my clients and I find their ‘perfect’ home.”

In order to ensure that she helps her client find their perfect home, Lucero pays attention to detail and listens to her clients concerns.

“The key to being successful in this field – you have to like people,” Lucero says. When she’s not in the office or meeting with clients, Lucero can be found outdoors or traveling with her family.

“After a hard day it is my faith and my family that keep me going,” she says. “I have a wonderful husband who has always been very positive and supportive, and two beautiful young daughters. And just like you, I love it here! This is home.”

With over 30 years of experience in the Albuquerque Real Estate market and multiple recognition awards for her achievements at the local, regional and national level, Annie O'Connell  is the consummate real estate professional who brings a personal touch and passion to her work.

Annie prefers working closely with her clients, meeting with them in person to truly understand their needs and wants when looking for their next home and ensure they understand every step of the buying and selling process. Annie's hands-on approach brings a personal touch to her business that is sometimes lacking in today's high tech world.

"That's what passion will do for you," she says. "Showing houses is my passion. I love to make people fall in love with the "Land of Enchantment"! I love educating buyers about Albuquerque. I want them to see every aspect of our city! People are what I love most about real estate."

A New Mexico native, Annie was a teacher and single mom who got her start in real estate at a time when "it was sink or swim" financially.

Although Annie has consistently been a top producing agent and a member of Elite 25, New Mexico Select & CRS, her greatest achievement is "connecting the dots" - making people's dreams come true.

Annie attributes her success to five keys. She says a REALTOR must always be passionate, punctual, professional, have a pleasing personality and return every call promptly.

Her two grown children, Meredith and Robert, both are very successful in their own careers. They grew up watching her work ethic and followed her example.

Annie throws herself into helping people all over the city. She assisted multiple UNM coaches with relocation as well as serving as a relocation specialist for PNM and Comcast.

Annie says, "When you have a passion for people you can't help but work hard. Fun and a little bit on the edge is how I've always been. I love getting people into my car and having it be a fun, fabulous, rewarding experience. That's what I'm all about."

When you are on the move, call on one of Albuquerque's top agents that can get the job done. That's Annie!

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.

I'm a native New Mexican, and I love this beautiful state! I've traveled virtually every road in Albuquerque in my nearly one decade as a licensed Real Estate Professional. 
I've done many things in my professional career, but I found my true calling in Real Estate. There is nothing that is so fulfilling to me as helping people realize their dream of home ownership, and seeing the happiness that families experience when they finally have the keys to their own home. 

No matter how many times I help people buy or sell their home, it never loses the fantastic feeling that I get knowing that I'm a part of something so monumental. As I look back on my years of helping people buy and sell their homes, I think of the heartfelt stories of real people - families that go from small apartments to homes with lawns for their children. People who thought they may never have a real home and are able to celebrate their first Christmas together in a home of their very own. The joy that I get from helping people achieve their dreams is so valuable to me. I love it! I would be honored if you would allow me to help you achieve your dreams.

Get a positive, helpful partner for buying or selling a home:

  • Trusted resource for answers about the process
  • Innovative marketing strategies
  • Expertise about neighborhood features
  • Ability to target home searches
  • Strong negotiation skills
  • Support through the closing and beyond
