“I can't say enough about the approach Carissa Thom took with our search, which resulted in the perfect home! This home had to serve a variety of developing needs and we were uncertain and anxious about price, style and location. Her patience and professionalism guided us through, allowing us to see a variety of properties, offering excellent and informed advice at every turn, and ultimately negotiating a hidden gem that fit all our needs. Then the team at Shaffer Group kicked in and kept us informed and on track, and we even closed early despite a few challenges that arose. This group is awesome, and Carissa is absolutely THE BEST!”
“We had an absolutely outstanding experience working with Marco! Selling our home and purchasing a new one at the same time was a daunting process but Marco made everything seamless from start to finish. Marco was always available to answer our endless questions and offered clear, insightful guidance at every stage. The advice he gave us, which we were initially not going to take, saved us from a huge issue during our purchase. Marco handled all negotiations professionally and skillfully to ensure we got a great deal on both sides of the transactions. We truly felt like Marco had our best interests at heart throughout the entire process. We are incredibly grateful for his dedication and cannot recommend him highly enough!”
“I've never bought a home before, so I had no idea what I was doing. Honestly, I didn't even know if it was possible for me... until I met with Carissa Thom. She clearly explained the process and helped me realize that this dream could very well become a reality. She was with me every single step of the way (and fielded so many questions). Never once did I feel like I was a bother, and I left every single conversation feeling listened to, understood, and cared for. I went into every appointment, every showing, and the closing date fully informed and prepared for this next chapter as a homeowner! I could not recommend this group (and Carissa) enough. Everyone I interacted with preemptively answered questions, foresaw any potential difficulties, and quickly solved any problems. Carissa gained a forever client in me. She made my dream happen, and I could not be more grateful to have had such an incredible woman walk this journey with me.”
“We had a wonderful experience working with Avery Johnson at the Shaffer Group! As first time home buyers, we went into the process unsure of what to expect, but Avery was knowledgeable, patient, and supportive throughout. Thanks to Avery’s guidance, we found and closed on our amazing first home, and we couldn’t be happier. We would absolutely recommend Avery to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive realtor.”
“Avery did an outstanding job representing us with the sale of our prior home & the purchase of our new home. He is knowledgeable, personable & ready to help with whatever is necessary to proceed as smoothly as possible. We would not hesitate in recommending Avery to anyone we know who could benefit from his talents!”
“We’ve bought 2 houses with the Shaffer group, and it’s been such a great experience each time. I wouldn’t buy a house from anyone else!! It’s seamless and Ashley and her team make sure you are informed and that your best interests is always top of mind!”
“We worked with Carissa Thom on our first home purchase in ABQ and couldn’t have had a better experience. We first met her at an open house she was hosting, and from that initial conversation it was clear she truly wanted to earn our business. She went out of her way to keep us updated throughout the process, pre-screened and toured properties to make sure they were the right fit, and was a true advocate for us during negotiations. We closed under budget and were completely satisfied with the outcome. I would highly recommend Carissa to anyone looking to buy in ABQ!”
“I had a great experience with Marco. Helped me find something even better than what I was originally looking for. Very friendly and answered all my questions. Was a great an experience would recommend him for sure. 👍🏼”
“Marco Quintana is very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful! He does his due diligence to make sure his clients are taken well care of! I would highly recommend using him to sell or buy a home.”
