Selling a home in Santa Fe involves specific steps that differ from other markets. Leland Titus has developed a structured listing and selling process designed for the unique conditions of northern New Mexico real estate. Here is how the process works from initial consultation to closing.
The process begins with an in-person meeting at your property. Leland Titus evaluates your home's condition, location, and features while discussing your goals and timeline. He then prepares a comparative market analysis using recent sales data from Santa Fe neighborhoods including the Historic Eastside, Las Campanas, Tano Road, Tesuque, and Casa Solana. This analysis accounts for Santa Fe-specific factors like acequia rights, well permits, adobe condition, and lot size.
Pricing a Santa Fe home requires understanding seasonal demand patterns, buyer demographics, and inventory levels. Leland Titus analyzes current competition, absorption rates, and price-per-square-foot trends in your specific neighborhood. He considers factors unique to Santa Fe including proximity to the Plaza, mountain views, water rights, and historic district designations.
Before going to market, Leland coordinates any needed repairs, staging recommendations, and property preparation. This includes addressing common Santa Fe inspection issues like flat roof maintenance, stucco condition, and septic system compliance. His team arranges professional photography, drone footage, and virtual tours that showcase each property's architectural character and outdoor living spaces.
Leland Titus markets each listing through multiple channels including the Santa Fe Association of Realtors MLS, targeted digital advertising, social media campaigns, and his professional network. His marketing reaches both local Santa Fe buyers and the significant pool of second-home and relocation buyers from Texas, California, and the East Coast who are drawn to Santa Fe's lifestyle and culture.
During the active listing period, Leland's team coordinates all showings and provides regular feedback reports. He communicates directly with buyer agents, tracks showing activity, and adjusts strategy based on market response. Clients receive updates on showing frequency, buyer comments, and any competitive market changes.
When offers arrive, Leland reviews each one in detail with the seller, evaluating not just price but also financing strength, contingencies, closing timeline, and buyer qualifications. He negotiates aggressively on behalf of sellers, managing multiple-offer situations, appraisal gaps, and inspection repair requests to achieve the strongest possible terms.
From accepted offer to closing, Leland manages all transaction details including inspections, appraisals, title work, and lender requirements. He coordinates with local Santa Fe title companies, inspectors, and attorneys to keep the process on schedule. His familiarity with New Mexico real estate law, GRT tax calculations, and county recording requirements helps prevent delays and protect seller interests.
