SANTA FE, NM, June 1, 2021 — On June 6, the “All Things Real Estate” (ATRE) radio show is marking 12 years of offering timely real estate news and commentary to home owners, buyers and sellers in Santa Fe and across the nation. ATRE is also comprised of a website.

Launched in June 2009 by Rey Post–a Santa Fe-based Associate Broker with Sotheby’s International Realty®–the ATRE radio program airs live for two hours each Sunday (12-2pm Mountain Time) on KTRC 1260AM and 103.7FM, and streams to a global audience on SantaFe.com as well as via the “Listen Now” link at the ATRE website.

Each week, Post hosts the first hour of the ATRE radio show, while professionals with business and real estate-related companies either host, or co-host with Post, the second hour of the program.

“Hutton Broadcasting and SantaFe.com join the public in congratulating Rey and his team for consistently providing some of the best content offered on a radio show over the past twelve years,” said Scott Hutton, Owner and General Manager of Hutton Broadcasting. “We are proud that “All Things Real Estate” is one of our flagship pro-grams, as well as being one of the most popular radio show destinations in the city. Our hope is that Rey continues to host one of the finest radio shows available to consumers.”

“12 years! Congratulations Rey, on reaching another milestone,” stated Gregg Antonsen, Senior Vice President & Qualifying Broker of Sotheby’s International Realty® of Santa Fe. “The informative analysis that you and your guests provide about Santa Fe’s real estate market, as well as general news, information and trends about our city, provides invaluable information to your listeners. I have been pleased and proud to have been a guest on your show on several occasions and have always been impressed with your advance research and preparation, professionalism and the manner in which you—week after week—provide an in-depth and authentic presentation of our city, our lifestyle and values. You are an exceptional individual at the helm of a remarkable program. Here’s wishing you all the best as you enter the next 12 years!”

“For 12 faithful years, Rey Post and his ATRE show, has been a significant contributor to the real estate community in New Mexico, stated Steve Riemann, the President of the Santa Fe Title Company, and the very first commentator on the program in 2009. “We have all learned; we have all enjoyed; we have all benefitted from the show and its varied guests. Congratulations Rey. We are all grateful…from your faithful contributions, insights and energies!”

Since 2009, ATRE has been supported by a some of the best real estate-related companies, non-profit groups, event organizations and well-known businesses in New Mexico. Their representatives regularly contribute commentary to the radio show and content to the ATRE blog (roster of current supporters on homepage at atreradio.com).

Besides airing from the KTRC studio, the ATRE show has also broadcast remotely from more than 100 unique locations, including: real estate broker open houses; non-profit events and major public gatherings such as the Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association annual “Home Show” and “Haciendas, A Parade of Homes” tour; the Santa Fe Concorso rare car gathering; and locations in Northern New Mexico during the 2019 airing of the show’s monthly series, “This Is Taos.”

The ATRE program was nominated in 2011 for a Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Award; was designated a national “Newsmaker” by RISMedia, the #1 source in the U.S. for residential news and information, and has been profiled in multiple media stories, as well as the corporate newsletter of Sotheby’s International Realty®.

How The ATRE Show Has Grown:

The ATRE show has grown from solely focusing on real estate issues, to a program that now offers timely business, community, cultural and non-profit commentary (always with a thread of real estate running through each broad-cast). Rey and his collaborators use the ATRE show as a place to create a “story” about a variety of issues, offering themes around special calendar dates, and events that enhance the show’s content for its listeners.

The radio show has been honored to feature not only some of the best in the real estate trade, but also a variety of non-real estate personalities. To illustrate the diverse content the ATRE show has offered over the years, a handful of these special radio show guests include: former CIA operative Valerie Plame; movie producer and Kevin Costner business partner, Jim Wilson (“Dances with Wolves”); actors starring in the movie “50 To 1” (filmed in New Mexico); former Director of the CBS News Poll, Kathy Frankovic; Indianapolis 500 race car legends Johnny Ruther-ford, Parnelli Jones, and Al Unser, Sr; and former National Association of Governors Chairman, Vermont Governor Jim Douglas. In addition, since he was elected in 2018, Santa Fe Mayor Alan Webber has been a regular guest on the ATRE program, offering timely information on business, community and real estate issues important to the residents of the city.

The ATRE website and blog have also become valuable destinations for information on the radio show’s broad-casts, as well as timely real estate, cultural and community information. The corporate office of Sotheby’s International Realty® is fully aware of the ATRE program, with the former president of the company coincidentally being at the Santa Fe brokerage office the day in 2011, that the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Award nomination for ATRE was announced.

The New York Times wrote that the silicon solar cell “may mark the beginning of a new era, leading eventually to the realization of one of mankind’s most cherished dreams–the harnessing of the almost limitless energy of the sun for the uses of civilization.”

Fast forward 67 years to 2021, and in recognition of this historic event, Rey and Bonnie will discuss how alternative energy technology plays a major role in the home buying and selling process in our current market. Not only can these technologies save energy for homeowners, while reducing their carbon footprint, they also serve as elements of the property marketing efforts of real estate professionals.

Community Association Management Update:

Bonnie will reflect on the show’s theme, and will also offer a review of the ways–in April 2021–that Westgate Properties, LLC is assisting the residents of the more than 60 homeowners (HOA) and condo (COA) association communities that the company manages in Northern New Mexico. Bonnie will also summarize the elements of the second hour of the show that she hosts. Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Westgate Properties, LLC specializes in the management of multi-tenant commercial properties and homeowner associations.

Bonnie, her colleague Tom Simon, the owner of Westgate Properties, LLC, and their regular second-hour guest commentators, have returned to the ATRE radio show in 2021, to offer valuable real estate input on the last Sunday of each month.

Broadcast Assistant Uses ATRE As Learning Experience:

Samme Newcomer, a Durango, Colorado high school student, is returning to serve as Rey’s Broadcast Assistant for this show. Samme is using the ATRE broadcast experience as a way to learn new skills that could be valuable to her, as she pursues her academic studies and prepares for her future career.

Darlene will also share how she continues to pursue COVID-19 safe and secure procedures with her home buyer and seller clients. Regarding Darlene’s property–this is a two-bedroom, 2.5-bath contemporary home, plus casita, located in Santa Fe’s Historic East Side. With clean, crisp lines, a strong emphasis on geometric shapes, and a simple color palette, this light-filled residence is ideal for art collectors and devotees. An open floor plan design allows for a welcoming feeling, especially when entertaining guests. Urbane architectural features include clerestory windows, moveable floating walls, concrete floors, and a sleek, stylish fireplace. The Chef’s kitchen is appointed with Wolf appliances, including an induction cooktop, convection steam, and standard convection ovens, Wolf microwave, Sub-Zero refrigerator, an island, and access to a spacious pantry and laundry room with lots of extra storage. The master suite has a super large dual closet with built-ins. The casita offers private, flexible space for guests, or to be used as a studio, or office. An eco-friendly landscaped courtyard provides outdoor space for relaxing and dining al fresco. There is a two-car attached garage. This is an incredible opportunity to own a recently built home (2017) so close to the Santa Fe River, Monsignor Patrick Smith Park, and the galleries and restaurants of Canyon Road.

In the second hour of the show, join Rey and his special guest Gregg Antonsen, Qualifying Broker and Senior Vice President of the Santa Fe brokerage of Sotheby’s International Realty. Rey and Gregg will discuss a variety of issues, including:

The importance of leadership in real estate work.
The successes of the brokers of Sotheby’s International Realty in 2020.
The state of the real estate market in early 2021.
Observations on how home buyers, sellers, and brokers adjusted to the impact of coronavirus in their lives and work.
Review of new types of home elements that buyers are looking for as a result of coronavirus.
Reflections on societal/economic issues impacting the market in 2021.

Gregg has served in his role at the brokerage since 2011 and brings more than 30 years of real estate experience to the radio show’s conversation. As manager of three offices, associate brokers, and staff that comprise Sotheby’s International Realty’s presence in Santa Fe, Gregg fully understands the important role that home buying and selling plays in the economy, both locally, and across the nation.

By Rey Post
Associate Broker, Sotheby’s International Realty
Host of the “All Things Real Estate” Radio Show
January 17, 2021

The “All Things Real Estate radio show airs this Sunday, January 17 (12-2pm Mountain Time) on Santa Fe’s Talk 1260 AM KTRC and 103.7-FM, and streams on SantaFe.com, as well as via the “Listen Now” link at ATREradio.com.

In the first hour of the show, join Rey and his guest co-host Stephen Etre, owner of Stephen’s, A Consignment Gallery, and their guests for an “inaugurating the New Year”-inspired discussion of real estate, community, and business issues.

On January 20th, in Washington, DC, the inauguration of Joe Biden will mark the commencement of his four-year term as the 46th president of the United States and Kamala Harris as vice president. Since 1937, the presidential inauguration has taken place at noon Eastern Standard Time, with the recitation of the presidential oath of office, being the only component in this ceremony mandated by the United States Constitution. Though it is not a constitutional requirement, the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court typically administers the presidential oath of office.

The ongoing presence of coronavirus will alter the ceremony, to foster a safe and secure approach to bringing the new president and vice president into office. Given the significance of the occasion, today’s show will offer reflections on how Americans are inaugurating 2021, in our work and personal lives.

Stephen’s, A Consignment Gallery Review:

Besides speaking generally to the show theme, Stephen Etre will also use this program to discuss the range of activities that he and his staff will be pursuing in the New Year, as they serve their clients. This will include a conversation about the gallery–as part of the Santa Fe community for nearly 40 years–and its proud tradition of “giving back” to Santa Fe, including the support of local charities, as well as cultural and educational organizations. The team at the gallery has a deep commitment to building local, and sustainable community relationships. Stephen will also remind the audience how he and his team continue to practice social distancing procedures, to make shopping at the gallery, as safe and secure as possible. Stephen’s gallery brings more than 14,000 square feet of display space, providing a wide variety of unique items, including furniture, antiques, art, estate items, jewelry, and home accessories. For more than eleven years, Stephen’s gallery has served as one of the major corporate supporters of ATRE and has returned to this role in 2021.

Santa Fe Area Homebuilders Association Review:

Miles D. Conway, the Executive Officer of the Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association (SFAHBA), will speak to the inauguration theme, and also offer a review of not only the successes association members enjoyed in 2020 but also those that they will be pursuing in 2021. This review will include a summary of the unique ways that they are advancing the elements of Santa Fe home construction, in our coronavirus influenced economy. Miles will also highlight some of the public events the SFAHBA hopes to stage in 2021, as well as other important initiatives that he and his home building colleagues have on the agenda for the New Year. For the 11th year in a row, the SFAHBA is continuing as a supporter of, and content provider to ATRE in 2021.

Rey’s “Real Estate Recommendation”:

Rey’s weekly real estate recommendation will offer information on the ongoing efforts of Sotheby’s International Realty to address the needs of home buyers and sellers, as the coronavirus situation continues. Rey will also share some thoughts on an ongoing element of teamwork, that he and all of his broker colleagues subscribe to. Specifically, that the marketing and administrative staff at the Santa Fe office of Sotheby’s International Realty are offering an even greater level of professional assistance to the company’s brokers and clients, during this exceptionally challenging period of time.

Broker Reflections and Property of the Week

Rey will review the attributes of 608 Griffin Street with his Sotheby’s International Realty broker colleague Roberta Lowe. Rey will also ask Roberta to reflect on how she continues to pursue safe and secure procedures in her real estate work while dealing with the ongoing coronavirus environment. Regarding Roberta’s property, which is co-listed by associate brokers Matt Sargent and Paul McDonald–welcome home to this delightful condo just six blocks from the historic Plaza, in desirable Griffin Park Condominiums. With Saltillo tile and hardwood flooring, 18-foot ceilings in the living room, and a corner Kiva fireplace, this charming home has all of the classic features that define Santa Fe style. The spacious and bright master bedroom has a large walk-in closet, direct access to the full bath, and sliding wood door panels that overlook the living room. The generous guest bedroom has a balcony that looks out onto some of the other well-kept homes in the compound, providing a historic Eastside ambiance, with great proximity to downtown. The kitchen has hardwood cabinetry, Talavera tile countertops, a wine cooler, and ample storage and workspace. The dining room adjoins a generous outdoor space with a high privacy wall. This home can be purchased as a turn-key option with a tasteful furniture and art package available.

In the second hour of the show, join Rey for a special interview of the Mayor of Santa Fe, Alan Webber. Rey and the Mayor will continue the theme from the first hour of the program, of “inaugurating our New Year,” speaking to the issues important to the residents of the city as we begin 2021.

December 6th is St. Nicholas Day, which is derived from Nicholas of Myra, who was a bishop in 4th century Greece. He was known for selling off his own items and then giving the money to the poor. He would commonly leave coins in people’s shoes and dedicated his entire life to serving people who were sick and suffering. The creation of the legend of Santa Claus can be traced back to St. Nicholas.

Stephen’s, A Consignment Gallery Review:

In the spirit of the story and actions of St. Nicholas, Rey and Stephen Etre will discuss not only the value of Stephen’s, A Consignment Gallery as a great destination for holiday gift buying but also the fact that the gallery–as part of the Santa Fe community for nearly 40 years–has a proud tradition of “giving back” to Santa Fe, including the support of local charities, as well as cultural and educational organizations. In response to the current state-mandated health order due to coronavirus, the gallery is offering a safe and socially-distanced “private shopping” experience to consumers during the holidays (go here to make your own appointment). Stephen’s gallery brings more than 14,000 square feet of gallery display space, providing a wide variety of unique items, including furniture, antiques, art, estate items, jewelry, and home accessories. The team at the gallery has a deep commitment to building local, and sustainable community relationships.

Danny and his colleagues bring not only experience in offering a range of hi-fi products and services to their clients, but also entertainment-related knowledge working for, or owning record stores, night clubs, production companies, and recording studios. Danny will also update the audience about the ways that his company operates safely for its clients, in the ongoing coronavirus environment. Danny will share information on how he and his business partner, Truewill Mashburn, specialize in providing residential and commercial custom technology solutions to their clients. The different backgrounds of the Lucky Dog team contribute to a unique end result: their ability to customize their clients’ home for audio, A/V, home automation, networking, and home lighting based on their particular specifications and circumstances. They understand how architecture, design, engineering, acoustics, and technology can all work together to craft a certain outcome. Since January, Danny and Truewill have served as ATRE corporate supporters and show commentators, offering information on how their firm brings custom technology solutions to homes and businesses.

Over the years, Paul’s Home magazine entries have won four times in the National Association of Real Estate Editors’ annual journalism awards, for “Best Newspaper Real Estate or Home Section.” An important factor in the awards was the fact that the magazine has all local content. Besides Paul’s stories, there have been up to a dozen columns every month that are written by Santa Fe people, covering real estate and mortgage matters, as well as interior design, gardening, feng shui, water conservation, and architecture. Paul’s grasp of the Santa Fe real-estate scene is especially told by one aspect of his career with the magazine: From March 1999 to December 2020, he has interviewed 176 local brokers for his Realtor Profile series. Paul, who was born in Indianapolis and has lived in New Mexico since 1992, has won numerous other awards during his more than three decades in journalism.

The State Of The Real Estate Market October 22 2020

The State Of The Real Estate Market

By Rey Post

Associate Broker, Sotheby’s International Realty &

Host of “All Things Real Estate” Radio Show

October 22, 2020

In spite of the challenges we are facing in our COVID-19 world, real estate stands out as one of the strongest elements of our economy.

To illustrate this reality, Dr. Lawrence Yun, the Chief Economist of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) recently stated, “Home sales continue to amaze, and there are plenty of buyers in the pipeline ready to enter the market. Further gains in sales are likely for the remainder of the year, with mortgage rates hovering around 3%.” Dr. Yun further observed last month, that existing homes sales across the U.S. recently hit the highest level, since December 2006.

Dr. Yun also noted that the need for housing will grow even further, especially in areas that are attractive to those who can work from home. NAR highlighted—in its August 2020 Work From Home Counties report—that remote work opportunities are likely to become a growing part of the nation’s workforce culture. Dr. Yun believes that this trend will endure, even after a coronavirus vaccine is available.

Going to Dr. Yun’s observations, there is clear evidence over the past eight months, that people living in high-density urban settings, are seeing destinations like Santa Fe to be more attractive for home ownership. Beyond the architectural, cultural, art, food, sports and environmental attractions of our community, many people living in larger cities are simply looking for more wide-open space to work in, and raise their families.

Santa Fe has always been a place that consumers have found desirable for second home ownership. But the impact of COVID-19 in our lives and work, may accelerate the purchase of permanent residences in our city among people from our active real estate “feeder” markets (Texas, Colorado, California, et al.), as well as from other regions around the nation, as well as from overseas.

To this point, and as reported by the Santa Fe Association of Realtors (SFAR), the overall volume of home sales in the city rose by 24%, or from $313.3 million in 2019, to $389.5 million in the 3^rd Quarter of 2020. The association’s 2020 President, Susan Orth, recently observed that “The Santa Fe housing market surged in both sales and prices during this quarter, following weak sales in the 2^nd Quarter of 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic closures.” She further noted that, “The data demonstrates the robust strength of the Santa Fe housing market, even with historically low inventories, and the growing desire to acquire a home oasis in the pandemic era.”

To underscore these statistics, Gregg Antonsen, the Qualifying Broker of the Santa Fe operation of Sotheby’s International Realty, advises that our company—as the real estate market leader in Northern New Mexico—realized a home sales volume in the 3^rd Quarter of this year (despite a huge drop-off in April/May due to COVID-19), that exceeded the company’s sales volume in the 3rd Quarter of last year.

Beyond Santa Fe, M. Steven Anaya, the Chief Executive Officer of the New Mexico Association of Realtors (NMAR), stated in this third quarter report, that to date New Mexico’s real estate market seems to be on track to maintain its 17% contribution to the state’s economy in 2020. He further observed that the economic impact of a home sale is not limited to just real estate related industries.

Anaya notes that expenditures related to a home purchase (such as furniture and remodeling) make up roughly 6.4% of the total economic impact of a home sale. Plus, there is a multiplier effect to account for the fact that income earned in other sectors of the economy as a result of a home sale, is then re-circulated into the economy. Additional homes sales also induce added home production. Typically, one new home is constructed for every six existing home sales.

But NMAR’s Anaya also observed in his report that the tight supply of homes for sale in our market has contributed to rising prices. In their recent report on the state of the market, SFAR revealed that median home prices in Santa Fe have grown by 16% from $396,500 in the 3^rd Quarter of 2019, to $461,500 this quarter.

As NAR’s Dr. Yun notes, “Housing demand is robust but supply is not, and this imbalance will inevitably harm affordability and hinder ownership opportunities. To assure broad gains in homeownership, more new homes need to be constructed.”

In fact, research by the NAR indicates housing affordability is weakening as prices continue to surge. The jump in home prices of 11.7% nationally in August was way above family income increases of 2.2%. The lowest-on-record 30-year fixed-rate mortgage helps offset some of the high home prices, however affordability is a concern across the nation.

Creating affordable housing is something that real estate professionals, government and business leaders realize must be addressed, especially given the strain that COVID-19 has placed on our economy, and specifically the job market.

At the same time, the robust real estate market we are enjoying in Santa Fe and around the U.S. is clearly benefitting our local and national economies, while also providing a pathway for those who have an interest in, and capability to purchase a home.

Buying a property requires you to be financially sound and truly prepared to own a place you want to call “home.” Beyond all the financial elements associated with actually buying a home, you will also be liable for property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and repairs.

One positive note, is that mortgage rates are extremely competitive and at historically low levels, and this will most likely remain the case through the end of 2020.

With all of my home buyer clients, who come to me with their interest in a property purchase—with a desire to use a loan in the process—I always recommend that they initially meet with a mortgage professional. This first step allows them to determine what they are qualified to buy, based on their financial situation. Doing so also allows me, or any real estate broker, the ability to zero in on the home options that meet a buyer’s needs, and desires.

It is also recommended that you make sure you have enough money saved to cover around six months of essential living costs, once you make your down payment and pay closing costs on your mortgage.

And if you are planning to move from one jurisdiction to another, you need to allocate funds to pay for the cost of moving. But if you’re able to do all of your packing, as well as some or all of the transporting yourself, it’s far more affordable.

Of course, in our coronavirus world, you’ll need to use safe and secure health practices in your move, plus you will need to make sure that you follow COVID-19 related rules established by each state, should you be traveling between jurisdictions (e.g., the need to self-quarantine upon arrival; etc.).

Lastly, because of the presence of coronavirus, real estate professionals are using a range of technology tools to make the exploration of home options by buyers very doable in a safe process. Virtual tours using special elements allow home buyers the chance to see homes in a 3-D format, which was not often used by brokers during our pre-COVID-19 days.

These tools provide buyers with a method for narrowing the homes they are most interested in, thereby reducing the need for in-person tours, as they search for the perfect property.

Like every other professional operating today in the home buying/selling process, real estate brokers are using strict protocols for making the in-person viewing of homes as safe as possible (e.g., small groups of people to tour homes at one time; face mask requirements at properties; availability of hand sanitizers at homes; etc.).

Similarly, title companies, which handle the final step of closing on the purchase of a property, are using creative processes for accomplishing this task with little to no direct person-to-person contact (e.g., “drive through” document signing from your car; etc.).

Home inspection professionals are also providing their critical services to buyers (and sellers), while also keeping their clients at a safe distance from the actual inspection process, sharing pictures and written reports of problems discovered via electronic means, minimizing in-person communication.

My “All Things Real Estate” radio show website (ATREradio.com) provides a roster of real estate professionals who follow all required COVID-19 measures that meet the rules established by the State of New Mexico. In addition, these are some of the very best practitioners of all parts of the real estate purchase and rental process, and are regularly offering commentary on a variety of subjects important to consumers during our Sunday broadcasts.

I hope that this information is useful to you as you explore the opportunity to realize the “dream of home ownership” in Santa Fe. I’ll be offering you additional observations about the real estate market and the home buying/selling process on a quarterly basis in 2021. Also, we invite you to join us each Sunday (12-2pm Mountain Time), as we air the “All Things Real Estate” radio show on Santa Fe’s KTRC (1260-AM and 103.7-FM), as well as via streaming on SantaFe.com.

In the first hour of the show, join Rey and his guest co-host Stephen Etre, owner of Stephen’s, A Consignment Gallery, for a discussion of the gallery’s annual “Fall Sale” event, being staged on both Saturday and Sunday. Rey, Stephen, and their guests will also note a historic event occurring this Sunday, as another theme for the broadcast.

On October 18, 1954, Texas Instruments announces the Regency TR-1 Transistor radio, making it the first commercially sold transistor radio, selling in significant numbers to people all over the world. With the transistor radio–no matter how isolated you were–music and world news suddenly became portable. It is also claimed that the device helped to further the rock n’ roll music revolution. The anniversary of the transistor radio reinforces another ATRE show theme this week: the value of radio as a medium for sharing news and information with consumers.

Stephen’s, A Consignment Gallery Review:

Stephen Etre, Owner of Stephen’s, A Consignment Gallery, will speak from the floor of the gallery, as he and his team stage their annual “Fall Sale” event. For decades, this event has attracted consumers from all over the country to the more than 13,000 square feet of gallery display space, providing a wide variety of unique items, including furniture, antiques, art, estate items, jewelry, and home accessories. Most of these items are offered to homeowners, buyers, and sellers at reduced prices during the two-day affair. Stephen will also remind the audience that–especially during this popular event, and as we deal with the presence of coronavirus–he and his gallery team are practicing social distancing procedures, to make participation at the event, safe and secure for all their clients. Stephen’s gallery–which has been a part of the Santa Fe community for nearly 40 years–is proud of its mission of “giving back” to Santa Fe, including the support of local charities, as well as cultural and educational organizations. The team at the gallery has a deep commitment to building local, and sustainable community relationships. For more than eleven years, Stephen’s gallery has served as one of the major corporate supporters of “All Things Real Estate,” and has committed to returning to this role in 2021.

Lucky Dog Hi-Fi & Technology Solutions Report:

Truewill Mashburn, co-owner of Lucky Dog Hi-Fi & Technology Solutions, will not only offer his support for the success of the “Fall Sale” at Stephen’s, A Consignment Gallery, but will also reflect on the show’s theme of marking the anniversary of the creation of the transistor radio. To the theme, Truewill and his team bring not only an experience in offering a range of hi-fi products and services to his clients, but also entertainment-related knowledge working for, or owning record stores, night clubs, production companies, and recording studios. Truewill will also update the audience about the ways that his company fully operates for its clients, in the ongoing coronavirus environment. Truewill will share information on how he and his business partner, Daniel Muller, specialize in providing residential and commercial custom technology solutions to their clients. The different backgrounds of the Lucky Dog team contribute to a unique end result: their ability to customize their clients’ home for audio, A/V, home automation, networking, and home lighting based on their particular specifications and circumstances. They understand how architecture, design, engineering, acoustics, and technology can all work together to craft a certain outcome. Since January, Truewill and Daniel have served as ATRE corporate supporters and show commentators, offering information on how their firm brings custom technology solutions to homes and businesses.

Rey’s “Real Estate Recommendation”:

Rey’s weekly real estate recommendation will offer information on the ongoing efforts of Sotheby’s International Realty to address the needs of home buyers and sellers, as the coronavirus situation continues. Rey will also share some thoughts on an ongoing element of teamwork, that he and all of his broker colleagues subscribe to. Specifically, that the marketing and administrative staff at the Santa Fe office of Sotheby’s International Realty are offering an even greater level of professional assistance to the company’s brokers and clients, during this exceptionally challenging period of time.
