Luxury Buyer Representation
Buying above $750,000 in Albuquerque is not the same transaction as buying at the median, and the difference is not the price. It is that the inventory is thin, the properties are individual rather than comparable, and most of the risk sits in things that are specific to the parcel — water, jurisdiction, covenants, terrain, and the history of what previous owners did to the house.
Thin inventory changes how you shop
In the upper tier there is rarely a set of three near-identical options to choose between. A shortlist is usually a handful of genuinely different properties, each with its own trade-offs, and the comparison is qualitative before it is financial. That means the useful work is front-loaded: establishing what you actually need from a property, which neighbourhoods can deliver it, and what you are willing to trade, so that when something right appears the decision is already most of the way made.
The diligence is property-specific, not procedural
A standard inspection is the floor, not the work. Depending on where you are buying, the questions that matter may be a well's records, a septic system's capacity, a building envelope, an HOA's reserves, a ditch easement, a retaining wall's permitting or a historic overlay. Knowing which of those apply to a given property before the inspection period starts is what turns a ten-day window into enough time.
Representation means the whole transaction
Offer structure and negotiation, coordinating inspections and specialists, tracking contingencies and deadlines, reading what comes back from the seller, and staying on the file through close. The reviews on this site are from clients across the price range, and the thing they consistently describe is responsiveness and follow-through — which is the part of this job that does not change with the price of the house.
