I am a local from New Mexico,and have lived in Santa Fe, Rio Rancho, and Albuquerque.  I am fluent in Spanish and English.  I have my MBA in Marketing and Operations Management, but the learning doesn't stop there!  Working as a New Mexico Realtor, I  specialize in the Albuquerque and Rio Rancho areas. I am constantly researching and learning new trends in real estate to keep up to date on the latest and greatest.  My expertise as a New Mexico realtor is I started out working in new construction working with Pulte Homes, which gave me a great opportunity to learn from the best about staging, and selling a home. At Pulte, we worked with buyers and this gave me great experience in understanding the needs of buyers and how to get them the greatest deals in new construction. After that I went into resale, recently leaving RE/MAX Finest and joining Keller Williams Realty.   I love working with people, and I would love to work with you!

My husband and I were contacted by Valerie ALMANZAR after our initial contact with Freedom Direct who deals with VA loans. Freedom Direct asked is we had already contacted a realtor to assist us with our home purchase. They offered us the choice of either our choice realtor or a recommendation by them for a preferred realtor of their choice in our choice location. Since we had not begun our home buying adventure, we opted to have them refer a realtor with VA home purchase experience in our area of Rio Rancho, NM. Within 24 hours, we received a call from Valerie. She immediately educated us on the steps that would take place from the start to finish. She ensured us that she would be there with us every step of the way. Our search for our home was short lived because our choice was made quickly. Valerie was great in that she was willing to show as many homes as we wanted and was a no rush, no pressure style realtor which made our viewings enjoyable. Once our choice was made, she proceeded with setting up all the necessary steps that followed in an expeditious manner. We were kept constantly informed either by phone or email on any and every detail that followed. She overlooks all the personnel in her office that handle every transaction in the home buying process. We have nothing but praise for those people as well. Our home buying timeline would have been about 6-8 weeks had there not been an issue with replacement of septic tank in order to pass home inspection, and the fact that sellers were out of country. All in all, we were not disappointed because it met our timeline. Valerie and her staff however, did everything in their power to move things along quickly. We were extremely satisfied with service provided by Valerie and do not have any reservations about refer I g her to anyone that is looking for a realtor with high qualifications, honesty, and superb people skills.

Valerie was a wonderful serendipitous pick and a great experience I picked her out from a few well respected and well recommended realtors, because she had it all - professionalism, wonderful personality, honesty, integrity, follow through, knowledge of the market and most importantly, genuine care for me - her client. It came through loud and clear from the very beginning of our interaction. I was selling my house while out of town, with a difficult personal situation, a specific timeframe and a lot of special needs/demands. Valerie was an invaluable resource and a wonderful adviser. She took the time to explain her decision making process to me, so that I never felt like I was following anyone's advice blindly, she left the final say to me in everything, she went way beyond the call of duty to accommodate my tenants and their situation, she took the time to really understand my needs and made sure that we both addressed them - even if that meant having to stand up for me to me. I especially appreciated her having the courage to have a difficult conversation with me that helped me understand how to align what I wanted to accomplish with the current market situation and she helped me get real with the goals I had. Her advice was honest, direct and caring - she was spot on about her predictions and the outcome. We had the sale when she said we were going to have it, we had the offers when she predicted we will have them and they went through without a hitch. I consider picking Valerie as my agent as one of the best decisions I've made through the selling process. I had my house "for sale by owner" for about 4 months with no real progress, movement or success - and I came from the construction field and had experience with similar situations. Once Valerie came on board, my house was sold within weeks of getting on the market, she arranged all the details with me, the tenants, handled sticky legal/construction situations and generally delivered a superb job, all the while making it seem seamless and easy. I believe there was a lot of work happening behind the scenes, which was kept out of my space and handled without me having to spend any attention on it. I was able to concentrate on what was important for me to attend to, while having a caring professional handle all the details I did not need to be involved with. I can not recommend her highly enough

If you were to look up a worst-case scenario when selling your home, you would find ours! We were long-distance sellers, looking at a possible short sale, and we had uncooperative tenants. Valerie efficiently and gracefully dealt with all three; whereas, I know other realtors would have run the other way! Valerie was always very upbeat and positive that our home would sell – and she was right, it sold within four months! Thanks to Valerie’s professionalism and tireless efforts, our credit didn’t suffer a short sale, our tenants peacefully moved out and we are able move on with our new lives in our new home."
