Schools & Education
Helping you find the right school is part of finding the right home. Here’s where to start:

Private & Charter Options – There are some wonderful ones—ask me for suggestions based on your area
School Boundaries & Ratings – I can help you figure out which neighborhoods align with your school goals
Neighborhood Highlights
One of my favorite parts of helping people move is showing them what makes Albuquerque special. Here are a few local gems:
Farmers Markets – Fresh produce, local art, and a great way to meet your neighbors
Coffee Shops & Eateries – From cozy cafés to green chile everything, I’ll send you my go-to spots
Hiking Trails & Dog Parks – We’re lucky to have sunshine and scenery year-round
Historic Districts & Shopping – Nob Hill, Old Town, and more for walking, browsing, and soaking in the culture
I’ve put together these local resource links to make things a little easier for you. Some of the businesses and organizations listed are ones I know and trust, but others are simply options that might be helpful depending on what you’re looking for. I don’t receive any kind of compensation for sharing these, and I’m not officially endorsing any particular one. Also, once you click a link, you’ll be heading to another website. I don’t control the content on those sites, so I can’t guarantee how current or accurate the information is. Just use your best judgment, these are here to help!
Need a Hand?
Whether you need a trusted mover, contractor, or someone to check out your roof before listing your home, I’ve got a network of reliable professionals I’ve worked with over the years. Just reach out. I’m always happy to share.
Real estate isn’t just about houses. It’s about home—and I’m here for you every step of the way.
