Ricky, Cathy and associates have gone above and beyond in helping us purchase our house in Santa Fe. We closed on our house in May 2019 and we did so within 21 days. Somehow, Ricky brought all of the various parties together and finalized everything without a single problem. The minute after we closed, my wife and I just breathed a sigh of relief and commented on how easy it was buying a house more than 1800 miles away! Ricky's knowledge of the market and the Santa Fe area were both very helpful in making our final decision. Ricky and associates were involved in every step of the process and they

My house had been listed for two years with another realty firm without success. Within one month of signing on with Catherine and her team (Ricky Allen & Associates - Sotheby's), I had a signed offer and a signed backup offer. Catherine and her team excel at proactively marketing a property - not just sitting back and waiting for a sale to appear. Cathy and Ricky are personable, knowledgeable, and very good at their jobs. I would highly recommend this team.

"Ricky and Cathy represented us a sellers and did a terrific job from the outset of setting the asking price, advising us as to how to show the house, guiding us through the inspection process, and finally closing the deal. They checked in with us throughout and stayed on top of things until closing. Very pleased!"

Cathy Griffith and the whole team were a pleasure to work with. Cathy was extremely patient with us as we looked at numerous homes until we found one that fit our specific requirements. Cathy was excellent in helping us make critical decisions when inspection issues were noted on the first home we attempted to purchase. Cathy help us decide to move on to another home and thankfully we listened to her because we found our dream home! Cathy went above and beyond her requirements as a broker by helping to arrange cleanings, inspections, key-drop offs, and showings. I highly recommend Cathy and her

We started our search for a Santa Fe property without knowing anybody in the Real Estate Business there and could not have found s.o. better qualified than Cathy Griffith. Lucky us! She managed to give us a good sense of the local real estate market, immediately understood what we were looking for as far as price, style, location, etc. is concerned and once we were prepared to travel from Florida to Santa Fe set up a concise viewing schedule that was very successful. Her expertise and guidance throughout the process up until closing was excellent, very efficient, and she did all of that with a
