"Was the best realtor I ever had"

Lisa Smith must have been destined to live in Santa Fe. One night, out-of-the-blue, her husband suggested they sell their house in Dallas and move to New Mexico. Six weeks later, their home had sold to the first buyer to see it and they were living here. “I enjoy helping people find their Santa Fe dream home or helping them begin a new life with their move.

Whether you are in the market to buy or sell, you will find that I am a hard-working, supportive ally who can be relied upon. I was given Coldwell Banker Trails West Realty’s first ever “Bulldog” award as a result of my limitless persistence. I always dig right in to get the job done, and done well. Although I have received numerous prestigious honors and awards in the Real Estate field, the Bulldog award is the one I am most proud of, proving I can be serious about my business without taking myself too seriously. The framed picture of a bulldog now hangs in a prominent position in my office. I have been a Santa Fe resident for almost 30 years and prior to moving here, I lived in France where I attended college and then worked at a property management company. I have an in-depth knowledge of what the Land of Enchantment has to offer; having raised my now 22-year-old daughter, Arryel, on my own, I am intimately familiar with the benefits and excitement of family life in Santa Fe. People say I am friendly and down-to-earth, a real people person. I have made friends for life in this business. For me, each transaction is just the beginning of a long-term relationship. I take special pride in the bond I share with my clientele. That bond begins with a foundation of honesty and trust that lasts well beyond the closing of the deal. I am also fluent in French and Spanish. The love of my life is my daughter but my passion is Real Estate and I am committed to assisting my clients, customers, and friends in all of their Real Estate needs.

I have been a Realtor with RE/MAX of Los Alamos since 2005 and have ranked in the top 3 Realtors in the County since 2010. I have earned RE/MAX Hall of Fame, Platinum Status, Diamond Status and have ranked in the top 5 in New Mexico. I currently serve as chair on the Los Alamos/Rio Arriba Regional Big Brothers Big Sisters Board of Directors. I specialize in working with seniors and the elderly. As a native of Los Alamos, I offer buyers and sellers a wealth of knowledge about the community.

Some people think it doesn't make much difference who your real estate broker is. Most people, however, choose to improve their chances of finding the home they really want by choosing Darlene Streit, Santa Fe's #1 broker. Finding and buying a home is a process that should begin with the broker really hearing what you want. The first step in finding the right home is listening, not looking. Location, style, amenities, access and of course price are obvious factors. But it's the little things that really count. Darlene listens before she helps you look, so that you see homes that fit your needs. Perhaps a gourmet kitchen with the latest appliances is part of your dream. Maybe you need space for a home office, or a fenced yard that will accommodate your dog, or a room for sewing or yoga. You might prefer living near the center of town, or in a more rural setting. Home dreams can come true when you have the right real estate broker. Darlene understands that buying a home is more than just purchasing housing. It's an expression of who you are and how you wish to live in the community. She knows that her job is to find the home that matches your wants and needs; a home that is not just adequate, but special for and to you. Darlene brings to the task her degrees in economics and psychology, and almost three decades of real estate experience in the Santa Fe market. Dreams are fun, but there is a practical side to the transaction, too. Buying a home is a big commitment. It is usually the largest single financial investment in a person's lifetime. There are a lot of details and a pile of paperwork involved, and they all have to be correctly managed and executed. Doing it well requires a unique combination of skills. That's why it's important for you to know that real estate isn't a part-time hobby or a side job for Darlene Streit. It is a full-time effort, supported by her own dedicated team of real estate transaction professionals whose combination of knowledge and experience is part of the advantage you have as a Darlene Streit buyer. With so much at stake, do you want anything less than a broker who is a careful listener and who has a proven track record, detailed knowledge of the marketplace, a full support team, and the unquestioned ability to make things happen? Choose to take advantage of The Buyer's Advantage by choosing Darlene Streit as the broker who will help you find your Santa Fe home.
