Nancy Lewis – Santa Fe Properties

We choose Nancy Lewis with Santa Fe Properties as our real estate agent as we began to consider purchasing a home in Santa Fe. Nancy made us feel very taken care of and welcomed us to a new city. She had prepared a full schedule of home visits for us. It was evident from the beginning that she was willing to go above and beyond for us. As luck would have it we found a home and immediately fell in love with it.
Real estate transactions are never simple, and Santa Fe is no exception. Coming from out of state and being confronted with a host of unknowns including water rights, adobe architecture, etc, was a little daunting. Nancy made sure that all of our concerns were addressed and resolved.
The transaction was made more challenging with the fact that the sellers were two individuals from out of state with limited connectivity. There were a host of issues that needed to be identified, followed up on, and resolved. Nancy took full responsibility for every aspect of the process, working diligently to ensure that every detail was seen to and reported back to us regularly with updates. Nancy’s communication is impeccable.
Nancy has literally made at least 25 visits to the house coordinating schedules and meeting with the home inspector, well inspector, roof inspector, bank appraiser, septic inspector. She personally delivered water samples to the testing company for us. She was onsite when work was being done to the septic system, roof, and inside the home. She was there when the sellers were moving out and has been out several times since closing helping contractors access the property for work being done.
She stayed on top of all aspects of the transaction including recommending escrow companies and mortgage brokers. She helped us avoid pitfalls in dealing with the mortgage company and made sure that all paperwork was properly presented and that the process was moving forward expeditiously. She coordinated the signing of well-​sharing agreements and variances with neighbors. The list goes on and on.
In short, you will never, ever, find a real estate agent will to work as hard as Nancy, and so willing to invest her full attention and capacity to getting a deal done. There is NO WAY this transaction could have happened without her experience and diligence.
Because of her hard work, we are very excited to be moving into our new home in Santa Fe. We can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you Nancy!
