Residential brokerage · Santa Fe, New Mexico
This is a non-disclosure state — no sale price ever reaches public record, which is why Zillow's number for your house on Camino del Monte Sol is a guess. Vega & Co. Real Estate reads the verified MLS record, walks the property, and hands you a written figure you can price against. Sixteen years, one county.

Folio I — Index of Services
Five lines of work, priced and scoped in writing before anything is signed. Commission is negotiable in New Mexico and always stated separately for each side.
Buyer-broker agreement first, then lender introduction, tour routing built around your flight window, offer drafting, and the inspection-objection period run to the day. We have talked more than one client out of a house over a failed septic and an unread well-share agreement.
Pre-listing walkthrough, pricing strategy off verified MLS solds, staging consult, architectural photography plus drone, MLS input with SFAR, showing management, and negotiation through appraisal and funding. Cancel-anytime listing agreement, in writing.
Built for the two-trip buyer: retirees out of California and the Bay Area, and transferees headed to Los Alamos. Day one is a neighborhood tour — Eastside, South Capitol, Eldorado, Las Campanas — so trip two is spent writing offers, not orienting.
Long-hold rentals, land, and 1031 exchanges with the 45-day identification window calendared from day one. Straight answers on short-term rentals: the city caps residential STR permits at 1,000 and renewal closes March 15 each year, so we verify permit status before you write.
A six-to-nine page written CMA: closed comparables, list-to-sale ratios, absorption rate for your price band, and the two or three condition items that will cost you at appraisal. No obligation, no listing pitch attached.
Folio II — The Firm
Marisol Vega took her associate broker license in 2007, spent the crash years working REO and probate files nobody else wanted, and opened Vega & Co. Real Estate in 2009 with a single desk and a filing cabinet of Santa Fe County plat maps. The firm has never opened a second office, never taken a franchise flag, and never listed a property outside Santa Fe County.
That narrowness is the point. When a buyer asks whether the flat roof on a 1940s adobe off Acequia Madre is a $2,400 recoat or a $19,000 rebuild, the answer comes from having stood on eighty of them. When a seller in La Tierra asks whether a shared well kills the deal, we have the well-share agreement language and three closed comparables that say it does not.
Nobody in this market gets to guess. The sold prices are locked inside the MLS, and reading them correctly is the whole job.Marisol Vega, Qualifying Broker
Four brokers. About thirty-two transactions a year, deliberately. Every file is supervised by a Qualifying Broker, Broker Duties are disclosed and acknowledged in writing before any document that could become an agreement, and we will tell you in the first meeting if we think the property is wrong for you.
Folio III — The Ledger
Countywide median for single-family sat near $890,000 in Q1 2025; inside the city it was closer to $570,000. Those two numbers describe almost nothing on their own. These do more.
Walled adobe compounds off Acequia Madre and Camino del Monte Sol, historic-district review on exterior changes, and the smallest inventory in the county. Buyers here are trading square footage for walkability to Canyon Road and the Plaza. Expect appraisal complexity — the comparables are genuinely scarce.

Gated, west of downtown, built for the second-home owner who wants to turn a key and fly out. Ask us for the club membership structure before you fall for a fairway lot — it materially changes carrying cost, and it is the single thing out-of-state buyers most often miss.

Tree-lined blocks of 1930s–50s stock south of the Roundhouse, on city water and sewer, walkable to downtown. The most competitive under-$800K segment in the city; well-prepared listings here regularly draw multiple offers inside the first weekend, which changes how we structure your offer terms.

Acre-plus lots, big skies, and a different due-diligence list: liquid waste (septic) permits with transfer-of-ownership inspection, water rights, well-share agreements, and propane instead of gas mains. Outside city limits you are under the county code, not City Land Use — a distinction that decides whether your casita plan is legal.

Folio IV — The Valuation
We hear that sentence weekly, and it has a real answer. New Mexico withholds sale prices from public record, so every automated estimate here is built on assessor data and guesswork. Verified sold data lives in one place: the MLS. Here is exactly what arrives in your inbox within 72 hours of the walkthrough.
Folio V — From the Files
We could only fly out twice. Day one was a driving tour with a legal pad — Eastside, South Capitol, then out to Eldorado. By trip two we knew what we wanted and wrote on the second house we saw.
Our first agent kept saying be patient. Vega re-priced off actual solds, reshot the interiors, and it went under contract in eleven days for more than the number we'd been sitting at.
Inspection came back with a flat-roof issue and a failing septic. They laid out what to ask for, what to walk from, and we closed with the seller paying for the new leach field.
The 45-day identification clock was the whole game. They had three properties identified by day 19 and the backup already lined up.
