and Sunday, March 29, 2026

The weekly broadcast of the “All Things Real Estate” (ATRE) radio show and podcast, is committed to bringing timely and informative content to the public from some of the nation’s best business, non-profit, community, government, entertainment and real estate leaders.

The program features its main host and Sotheby’s International Realty Associate Broker—Rey Post (NM REC License #45660)—as well as other real estate professionals who also occasionally host the program. And the guest commentators on each week’s show, are emblematic of the quality of professionals who have helped to make ATRE a destination that people from all over the country have turned to each Saturday and Sunday since 2009.

On this weekend’s broadcast of the ATRE show, join Rey and his special guest, Ashley Strauss-Martin, General Counsel for the New Mexico Association of Realtors® (NMAR) and owner of Real Estate Law Associates and New Mexico Escrow Solutions.

New Mexico Association of Realtors Update + Seller Financing:

In her role as General Counsel for NMAR, Ashley Strauss-Martin, will reflect on a variety of current real estate and legal issues important to home owners, buyers, sellers and Realtors, that occurred during the first quarter of 2026. Ashley will also offer her observations on the state of the real estate market in New Mexico.

As owner of Real Estate Law Associates and New Mexico Escrow Solutions, Ashley focuses on seller financing and—during the broadcast—will discuss the various seller financing instruments used in New Mexico, as well as the seller-financing process.

Among many other tasks as General Counsel of NMAR—Ashley writes, or reviews all NMAR Forms (NMAR promulgates the real estate forms used in most residential and commercial transactions throughout the state); runs the NMAR Legal Hot Line, providing legal information for NMAR’s members; and serves as an expert witness before the New Mexico state legislature on bills she has drafted.

Rey is very pleased that Ashley is a quarterly commentator on the ATRE radio program in 2026.

Rey’s “Real Estate Recommendation”:

Rey’s weekly real estate recommendation offers news and information on a variety of home buying and selling, community, and business issues–as well as world events–that impact the lives and work of consumers and real estate professionals. Since “everything” is real estate–in one way or another–Rey’s commentary is intended to offer a perspective that speaks to a range of topics, no matter their origin.

Reflections on The Brokers and Listings of Sotheby’s International Realty:

Rey will share his thoughts on the professional expertise, knowledge and commitment of his fellow associate broker colleagues at Sotheby’s International Realty, as well as the quality of the listings that the company offers to home buyers who wish to make Santa Fe their home.

Rey is honored to be a recipient of this special award and thanks all of the professionals who have contributed to ATRE’s success.

Giving Back to the Community:

Since 2009, the “All Things Real Estate” (ATRE) radio show has offered air time to a variety of Santa Fe non-profit and community organizations.

In 2019, the Town of Taos collaborated with ATRE, in a year-long information series—sponsored by the Taos Ski Valley—called “This Is Taos.” Designed to offer useful information about this historic northern New Mexico community, the monthly show earned high marks from the public.
