We bought our home with Ian more than 11 years ago and when it came time to sell our home recently, we chose to go with Ian again. His experience and understanding of the unique market in Los Alamos makes him an invaluable asset as an agent. Ian is truly knowledgeable about the area, extremely professional and is definitely great at keeping in contact, even after a decade! I couldn't recommend Ian enough.

GOAT realtor, Ian Maes. Thank you so much for making the difficult and painful process of selling my parents home as comforting and easy as possible. Thank you also for supporting the LAPS teachers with your many gifts. It’s great to have a community member who gives back. Maes group wins gold.

Ian has been the best realtor we’ve ever worked with, he grew up in the area and knows the market so well. When we moved to the area his advice got us a much sought after home, when we moved recently, he helped us get a fantastic deal on that same property 5years later. If I ever moved back to Los Alamos he would be the first one I’d call !

If you need help with a real estate transaction in Los Alamos, I cannot recommend anyone else. Ian helped us sell our house in Los Alamos in the spring of 2022 as we were in the middle of opening a restaurant and purchasing a house in Santa Fe. Time was the main factor for us - more so than staging the house and increasing the property value further, which would have delayed the sale of the house. He understood exactly what we needed and made everything look seamless for us. Another important thing, Ian is invested in the community and has been for many years: supporting small businesses, teachers, etc., you name it. Thanks again, Ian!

Holly, agent of the Maes team, is from the area, knows the area, and she is a very honest and hard working agent. Additionally, she was incredibly patient with my wife and I with regards to looking at multiple homes. Through Holly patiences and help, we just closed on a lovely home.

We have worked with Ian for over 4 years spanning several home purchases and sales. Ian has an unmatched understanding of the housing markets in and around the Los Alamos/White Rock area. He never pressures sales as his goal is to always put you in the home you are looking for. When answering questions his responses are thoughtful and thorough and he makes sure his clients understand and that questions are answered to their satisfaction.

I have highly recommended Ian to several colleagues and friends as I cannot imagine a better realtor to do business with.

Ian is a phenomenal realtor who went above and beyond to help me purchase my first home. He is communicative, professional, and always gave his honest opinion throughout the entire process. His years of experience in the LA/WR area make him an invaluable ally in an otherwise confusing market. He made purchasing a home an enjoyable experience, even during a pandemic, and I can't recommend him enough.

My husband and I started looking at homes with Holly Weiss on August 2022 and the market was so challenging because there was very little inventory and I was having a hard time acclimating to what inventory was available. Holly showed us homes from August 2022 to January 2023, and I am so thankful for her patience with me as we just could not find what we were looking for and she continued to remind us, our home was out there, even though I wanted to give up many times. Eventually we found a home we liked and we were ready to write an offer. When Holly wrote the offer for us, she called us and read/explained every single item on that offer making sure we understood it thoroughly. Additionally, she answered all of my questions regarding the offer. That particular home did not end up working out for us in the end, but Holly was so diligent through this process, answering my calls, calling the other realtor when I had questions with our counter offer. The process took a week or two and she always made me feel like I was a priority to her. As mentioned, we did not get this house, and we were bummed, but we understood it was at no fault of us, or Holly and so we pushed forward to continue our house hunting journey.

We looked at several more houses and finally we found another one we connected with and told Holly we wanted to make an offer! Holly was so diligent and contacted the seller's realtor and wrote our offer. The seller accepted our offer promptly and one of the most arduous journey's in our home buying life began.

The inspection had some red flags which we expected and promptly addressed with Holly, and she ensured those red flags were addressed with the seller's realtor and handled properly and promptly though the proper forms. We had many questions along the way that required the seller to answer in order for us to feel confidant pushing forward and Holly never rested until they were taken care of. I believe our experience was a little less than normal but Holly never complained, never appeared angry or overwhelmed. She always had a list of items she needed to handle and she handled them before I ever had to inquire about them. It was an unbelievable experience.

Mid escrow, we started to experience issues with the legal aspects of the home and title issues that were not handled properly through the previous sales of the home, and Holly spent a great deal of her time helping to correct and address those issues with the seller and with title. It was by far a very messy and arduous home buying process for us and she took on all of the weight of the issues and the stress and eased majority of my stress which is very hard for anyone to do. I honestly could not believe how much she did for us. I still am in disbelief of how much she took on. I am the kind of person who wants things done promptly, and outside of things beyond our control, I never found myself waiting on her for anything. Holly took on anything and everything head on to ensure we got that house, and we did!

There were so many obstacles, and at times, I was so worried we had already put money in to this process and it would fall through and Holly was right there to remind me she would do everything she could to help make it work out, and she did.

Holly is a remarkable realtor, and always made us feel like we were a priority to her and she was very diligent, and professional. Her work ethic meets all of my expectations and I am very particular. I was incredibly impressed with her. She is also very kind, considerate, and personable which is very important to me in this market.

Thanks Holly for everything you did for us. You will always be our realtor!

Thanks,
Alanatis & Matt
