Our experience with Samantha was incredibly disappointing and frustrating. From the beginning, communication was pooraEUR"she often took days to respond, and we had to include her in group messages to get any answers. To make matters worse, she initially listed our home at a price that we felt was unusually high, which puzzled us, especially given our specific timeline. With a planned move out of state for the military, we started this process in May, knowing we needed the house sold by October, yet she showed no sense of urgency. When it came time to list, she didnt even hire a professional photographer, resulting in subpar photos that received negative feedback from friends, family, and even our lender. After asking her to redo the photos, she agreed but still only used her cell phone, and the quality was still lacking. Our lender declined to share the listing on her business page, saying it just didnt look good enough to showcase. Initially, we thought we might not fully understand the process, but as our frustrations grew, even our lender and the buying agent for our new home were surprised at her lack of proactive effort. It felt like every piece of information and action had to be prompted by us, and ultimately, we lost confidence in her ability to sell our home. After more than 60 days on the market with zero offers and no clear strategy in place, we realized we needed to make a change. We had worked with her two years prior to buy our home when we moved here for the military, and that experience went smoothly, so we naturally turned to her again when we received orders to move out of state. Unfortunately, this time felt completely differentaEUR"it was as if we were an afterthought, and she either didnt care or wasnt equipped or knowledgeable enough to handle the sale. In the end, we decided to terminate her as our listing agent, and hiring a new realtor made all the difference, and ended up being the best choice in our whole selling process. Our new agent was proactive, supportive, and instilled confidence in us throughout the process. If youre looking for a realtor, I urge you to do thorough research before choosing. We would not recommend her for selling a home based on our experience.

We are incredibly pleased with Mykel in her helping my husband and I find our dream home! She was very attentive and knowledgable of the real estate and local areas. As this is one of our first times buying a house, Mykel walked us through every step of the process with such kindness and patience. We were able to communicate with her whenever we needed and she did a wonderful job to help make this process as easy as can be! Mykel is extremely competent in her expertise and professionalism. She exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend!

Samantha was amazing! Even though I was overseas she made the process of purchasing my second home so smooth. All I had to do when I got to Alamogordo was sign final documents. Overall it was an amazing experience and I definitely recommend anyone to trust Samantha with purchasing a home.

One of the easiest experiences I bought the home through her and sold it as well. Everything was quick and was always kept up to date on everything. Would recommend 10x over.

Mykel was professional and promt from our first introduction. We had been looking for properties in NM and when we finally decicded to pursue a purchase, she was recommended to us. We coulnd't have asked for a better advocate for our home buying journey. Her guidance and her knowlege helped as we navigated a move from VA to NM.

Mykel was extremely helpful, responsive, and patient with me I navigated my first time home buying experience. During the searching process I always felt like Mykel prioritized getting me into a home that I would be really happy with above everything else. She helped me understand and get through every step of the process, staying on the ball, and helping keep my lender and the seller's agent on the ball as well.

Mykel was extremely helpful during the homebuying process and was able to make accommodations for buying a home from a distance! Her knowledge of the area and the processes was invaluable during my time working with her and I would happily recommend her to anyone seeking a real estate expert.

Mykel Garvis is a doer! You have questions, just ask her. She will answer or get you answers. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with. As first-time home buyers we had done some research beforehand but were really grateful for Mykel! Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity and hard work ethic were very much appreciated and respected. She offered her opinion when we asked and helped us to consider things we hadnt thought of. She was more than helpful in finding us a home in Alamogordo while we were living in Hawaii, Ill definitely reach out to Mykel in the future when its time to sell. Highly recommend her!

Mykel helped us find the right house in a very tough market. We bid on three houses and didn't get any of them. finally, we were able to bid and buy the house we are in now.
