Reviews of Sotheby's International Realty - Santa Fe (Real Estate Agency)

Kevin MacInness

We used Joshua Maes & Malissa Kullberg. They were excellent. They worked with my wife and I to reach our dream of owning a home in Santa Fe. As a real estate agent from a different state, I know great service when I see it. They worked with us for a year. We were always kept in the loop on new listings. When we would visit to see properties, we always felt we had all their attention. If we ask for research, they were quick to respond providing us property documents and their honest assessment of homes we were interested. When we found the right place, they negotiated a price even better than we thought we would get. They are very good at that. The closing is complete, and they are still providing us with information and recommendations as we need. I can’t say enough. They are the best. Kevin & Judy, Colorado.

Do not work with David Cordova. Unprofessional and if you're not a liberal he wont work with you.

Lois Sury is a sure professional in Real Estate! She is savvy and knows her market & helps understand the details of buying and selling a home. She is positive, informative & uplifting & helps to lighten the load of emotions when It comes time to seal the details of a transaction. If you want a clean deal Louis is your agent! Thank you Lois Sury!

Their brokers' reprehensible conduct forced us into a frustrating, expensive, stressful legal battle. They sued us and the court gave a decision in our favor on all counts. We purchased an expensive home in Santa Fe in 2005 in which French & French Fine Properties/Sotheby s agents represented both the buyers and sellers. A district court judge ruled against FFFP--now completely Sotheby s Santa Fe and still employing the agents involved--after they sued us in 2009 to strong-arm us into solving a problem on an adjacent lot with another client that FFFP/Sotheby s helped cause, hid from us at the time of purchase, and expected us to bear the burden with no consideration or fair compensation. They forced the issue to trial by an unwillingness to engage in any reasonable settlement offer. Their agents lied outright on the witness stand. They are still abusing us through the legal process, appealing to deny us the ability to recover our significant legal costs awarded by the court--around $250,000—as well as other damages. Imagine being forced to use your savings to fight corporate bullies for over 3 years. There are other, better choices for real estate brokers in Santa Fe. Here s a consumer tip learned from this experience: choose "agency" broker, not "transaction" broker--they are obligated to provide more fiduciary responsibility, strangely enough at the same commission rate.
