Tech-Savvy
Since 85% of all home buyers start their search on the Internet–whether you are buying or selling–you need a tech-savvy agent. I have been using computers since 1982 and can easily handle a transaction solely through email and faxes. I have a secure online client area for easy access to any files you may need during your real estate transaction. If I can find my husband on a BBS, working with you online to find a home will be a snap.
Personal
As a resident of Albuquerque for over 25 years, I have seen the growth and improvements that make the "Q" a place you’ll want to call home. Karl and I have been married for 14 years and together we home educate our youngest daughter. Including my two adult children and two cats, we have a full house at times. In my free time, I enjoy writing, reading cozy mysteries, listening to jazz, meditating, and watching comedy movies with my family.
As your real estate agent, I understand the pressures you face in making one of your largest transactions. I am an agent who earns your respect by giving you superior representation and protecting your investment.

Testimonials
“I was looking to buy my first home in Albuquerque and luckily I found Ashely. Her knowledge of Albuquerque, the housing market and the home real estate process was invaluable to me as a first time buyer. She was helpful, informative and always available when I needed her. Thanks Ashley!” — Terri T.
“Ashley is a knowledgable, go getter that is sure to help any buyer or seller get the best deal possible. Ashley is our Realtor of choice for Albuquerque” — Chris T.
“Ashley not only knows about ABQ whether it’s with the real estate market or can recommend the best places to eat or hang out. She’s dedicated and professional to her clients. The question is…WHEN are you going to call Ashley?” — Susie R.
“When we contacted Ashley about selling our house and buying a new one we really had no idea what part of town we wanted as we are both retired and being close to work didn’t matter. Ashley patiently showed us houses from Rio Rancho and the west side to all over the east side and the east mountain area. After showing us numerous homes we found just what we wanted in Moriarty. Ashley put our house of the market and it sold in two weeks. As there was more than one offer Ashley negotiated a selling price which was $1,500 over the list price. She was always cordial and gracious and was a big help with suggestions to stage our house so it would show to its best advantage. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone with any real estate needs. Our contacts with her were always both professional and friendly. Ashley is the type of person you feel comfortable talking to and she comes across as very knowledgeable.”–Linda C.
“Your thoroughness in responding to my needs is very appreciated”–Kevin S.
