Ricky Allen, Cathy Griffith & Tara Earley | Sotheby's International Realty

" We were so lucky to come across Ricky's name before being in Santa Fe to look at properties. From the first time we spoke he was professional, friendly, and genuinely interested in our story and helping us find a dream home. We were really taken care of between him and his team as they scheduled us many visits to properties, had lots of helpful insights to Santa Fe and the real estate market, and then were very responsive as we put in an offer and went through a challenging transaction! It was really easy to trust Ricky's guidance, which was crucial as we are 1) fairly new to buying real estate and 2) were not in Santa Fe throughout the transaction. We are so grateful for Ricky's help, knowledge, and negotiation skills!"

"Ricky has been a wonderful help to us through the whole process of viewing properties in Santa Fe. Once we found a home we liked, he patiently guided us through all the paper work and made sure we understood each step and what our options were. We always look forward to our visits with Ricky - his smiling face and positive attitude make working with him a pleasure! "

  -Ward, Client

" Ricky took lots of time walking us through entire home purchasing process, which we really appreciated as first time home buyers. We promptly received responses to our questions, and were able to get many viewings at relatively short notice, and on weeknights to accommodate our work schedule."

"I want to thank you for the outstanding effort you made to move this property. After 24 months on the market with only two half-hearted offers that didn't make it to the counteroffer state, I was beginning to lose hope. You had the listing for a month, got the property featured in The New York Times, and brought me two signed offers. You can be assured that Ricky Allen & Associates (and Sotheby's) will have my unqualified recommendation to all of my friends (including those at The Santa Fe Opera). "

"I was able to close on a house purchase in 15 days with Catherine. She is well known and well respected in the Santa Fe broker community; understood what I was looking for in a new home, and with the help of her team got inspections (physical, well, septic, roof, survey, etc) done promptly by local professionals. She was knowledgable and helpful in setting the offer price and instrumental in working through the negotiations to an equitable conclusion. Highly professional and ethical."

  -Frank J, Client

" Ricky and associates have gone above and beyond in helping us purchase our house in Santa Fe. We have just closed on our house (May 2019) and we did so within 21 days. Somehow, Ricky brought all of the various parties together and finalized everything without a single problem. The minute after we closed, my wife and I just breathed a sigh of relief and commented on how easy it was buying a house more than 1800 miles away! Ricky's knowledge of the market and the Santa Fe area were both very helpful in making our final decision. Ricky and associates were involved in every step of the process and they followed up with numerous emails in order to finalize everything in a neat and timely manner. Thank you Ricky for you consummate professionalism but most of all, thank you for caring."
