You will not find more honest, experienced and professional real estate agents than Joshua Maes and Malissa Kullberg with Santa Fe Real Estate Consultants, Sotheby's International Realty. I had the misfortune of having to sell a home and several properties following the passing of a family member. I am not versed in the details of the process, but have bought and sold a few houses over the years. Joshua and Malissa greeted us with an overwhelming sense of honesty from the first meeting. As a team, they were full of great advice on how to proceed making every step so thoughtful and strategic. Throughout the process, we were able to build a strong relationship that felt comfortable. They are very attentive and incredibly respectful while gaining a thorough understanding of your perspective. I felt comfortable reaching out whenever I had the smallest concern knowing Joshua and Malissa were always available. I know they have many other clients, but you feel like you are the only one. Their knowledge of the market, great process planning and strategic thinking proved invaluable. You will not find better real estate professionals that are incredibly kind and courteous.

Yes, Joshua and Malissa were our realtors, but frankly the experience they provided us went so far beyond realtor services. Specifically, from day one and our first conversation, it was obvious my wife and I weren't just another "transaction" to Joshua and Malissa. We were instantly comfortable, confident, and actually looking forward to the house-buying process. Why? Simply because Joshua and Malissa's honesty, work ethic, expertise, and responsiveness demonstrated that they actually CARE about us/their clients. That sense of care and regard continued throughout the house search and buying process. Along the way, they were always avble - day or night, and they always provided more than just answers to questions, they'd also suggest alternatives and actually guide us if we were leaning toward a less than best option. Last, one particular phrase/comment both Joshua and Malissa conveyed often that has stuck with me was "we're not going anywhere". Effectively, they were saying they're here for us during the transaction and beyond. They've proven exactly that as our transaction has closed, without a hitch, and they continue to provide us referrals, TONS of tips and tricks, and just the strong sense they want and will be long-term "guides" for us as we continue on our Santa Fe journey. Talented realtors, yes, but oh so much more!

My wife and I could not wish to have had more competent, attentive realtors as we relocated from Monterey, CA, to Santa Fe, NM. They listened carefully to our initial desires and adapted quickly as we learned more and more about the area. They helped us to avoid money piuts and find high quality housing at a reasonable price. I would recommend them to anyone.

We found Joshua and Melissa through one of our neighbors who used them to sell their house. They analyzed the market for us; gave us suggestions on how to prepare the house; helped stage the inside of house; and also gave us helps on re-arranging the yard and the outside of the house. The house looked great once it came onto the market with beautiful photos. During the sale process, they gave us suggestions to make all the right decisions, and they made many trips to the house just to check on how the process was going. Even the night before the closing they drove to the house to make sure every issue had been taking care of. We really appreciated their good knowledge; their communications; and their willingness to go above and beyond what you would expect. We recommended Joshua and Melissa without reservation!

Joshua and Malissa were wonderful and I can't speak highly enough about their work. We met them through a referral almost two years before we made the decision to move to Santa Fe, and they gave their time and expertise to us through this entire time, showing us properties when we came to visit, educating us about the Santa Fe market, and letting us know about interesting properties in our price range. Once we moved here, they showed us a wide range of possibilities until we found the right house. The negotiations were more complicated than usual, and their knowledge and expertise was invaluable, and their assistance went way beyond what was expected. Without their help and commitment to helping us purchase our home, it would not have been possible. I recommend them without hesitation!

In 2018 we purchased a beautiful home in the Santa Fe area. Malissa Kulberg and Joshua Maes were the realtors who walked the 3 months' journey with us. We found them to be thoroughly professional, strong communicators, and very kind. Here are a few qualities that made our work with Malissa and Joshua so positive. o Knowledgeable: Both Malissa and Joshua know the Santa Fe area well. They were able to give us information on the changes in neighborhoods, meanings of land deals, philosophies of the communities, not to mention great hole-in-the-wall restaurants. o Organized: Daily tours of properties they (and we) had planned out were arranged with plenty of time for driving and looking. They provided us with printed material about the properties before we saw each one. They were able, and willing, to make modifications to the day's plan based on our interest. o Experienced: At each property, they could quickly size up what modifications would be required to bring both the building and the property up to an acceptable level of livability and estimate how these changes would affect the asking price and counter offers. o Connected: Both Malissa and Joshua have many, many connections to local businesses who can provide all the necessary services that may be required when determining the quality of the property as well as fixes that will soon be needed. Financing, adobe, heating, plumbing, carpentry, painting, tree doctors - just a few of the local folks Joshua and Malissa helped connect us with. o Honest: Malissa and Joshua were always honest with us about both big and small issues and the pros and cons of each property. When they did not know information, they immediately searched out the answers. They would regularly remind us of what we had said to them previously when we were momentarily enamored by some distraction. o Patient: While they knew that we were starting with too low of a price range in mind for the area we were imagining purchasing in, they never told us "no". Both Malissa and Joshua found properties they felt could meet our requirements with the least amount of modifications. After lots of informed conversation, it was always our choice to change price range or location, or not. They patiently waited until we were ready to take the next step. We never, never felt pressured to buy any property. Living in another state did not seem like much of a barrier at all since we were in constant phone, text and email contact through the whole process. We expect that Malissa and Joshua will treat you just as they have us, as new friends and trusted colleagues. Happy House Discovering! Katherine & Phil Rowe, Westminster CO

Listed a 300+ acre ranch and selected Joshua Maes because of his resume and connection with the area communities. He did an excellent job-the property proved harder to sell than anticipated. He was patient, professional, adaptable and steered the process all the way to a successful closing. He handled the gov't and escrow requirements flawlessly. I previously worked in Los Angeles selling residential and commercial real estate for the Courts-and I was impressed with Josh's skills and personality.

I must confess: I am skeptical of realtors. I've bought and sold many properties, but have never used a real estate professional to complete a sale. I knew I needed the right person to sell my unusual multi-family property in an historic neighborhood in Santa Fe. An out-of-state realtor recommended Malissa Kullberg and Joshua Maes, Santa Fe Real Estate Consultants, at Sotheby's International Realty. Their successful sale of my property forever changed my opinion of the profession. Before I hired Joshua and Malissa, I interviewed several realtors. I had many concerns, spoken and unspoken. How can I successfully maintain my occupancy level with minimal disruption to the residents? What specific measures will you take to make sure the tenants and their homes are treated with respect? What, if any, improvements should I make before listing? How will you screen qualifications of a potential buyer and his/her agent? Will you let me know in advance what documents are needed for the marketing and sale? Other realtors had a pretty standard answer: "Trust me. Sign this contract, thank you. I'll take it from here." Malissa and Joshua clearly stood out from the others. Before they gave me the contract to sign, they invested significant time and energy to understand my requirements and the unique details of my unique property. I was always kept up to date with the complex details of preparation, photography, showing, and inspection of the property. The photography was outstanding; the property description was purposeful, honest and eloquent. Joshua and Malissa honored and respected my very specific and unusual requests with good humor, professionalism and honesty. The sale experience was efficient and met my expectations for price and timeliness. I am delighted to provide my highest recommendation to Santa Fe Real Estate Consultants.
