Venturi Realty Group - REAL Broker

Moving (particularly to another state) is always challenging and stressful, but doing so in a volatile market impacted by rising prices, increasing interest rates, labor shortages and supply chain delays makes it especially difficult.The great news? After a short online search for an Albuquerque area realtor, we found Jane Way and Venturi Realty Group - and our expectations were exceeded in every way!Jane and her team were incredibly responsive, having a detailed understanding and knowledge of the Albuquerque metro area market and took the time to educate us and help us find the perfect home for us!She partnered with us, represented us and continually had our best interests in mind, being engaged and involved throughout the construction, delivery and closing processes.We would wholeheartedly recommend her and the Venturi Team for any of your real estate needs!

Lisa Pino and her team are absolutely the BEST! They sold my house quickly and were so helpful helping us deal with absolutely everything. You will not go wrong with this team, believe me. Cannot say enough nice things about Lisa. She is skilled, honest, on your side, and goes above and beyond what is expected.

Back in 2017 before we moved from Albuquerque, NM to New York State we sold our home through the Venturi Realty Group. One of the Realtors came to our home and did a walk through with me asking what we were keeping and taking with us. I specifically said "we were taking our main fridge with us and leaving the older spare one behind." This Realtor who I believe was Ashley, told the buyers a lie, she said we were leaving the main fridge. This became a thing because the buyers were so adamant that they were told the fridge would be there. We were worried the buyers wouldn't buy the house because of this. So we ended up buying them a new fridge. I feel this was very dishonest on the part of the Realtor and my advice to anyone using this agency is to get in WRITING WHATEVER YOU ARE TAKING AND LEAVING IN THE HOUSE. Needless to say, we will never use this agency again!!!

We had the pleasure of working with Jane Way for the sale of our home in Rio Rancho. We interviewed several real estate agents and could never agree on who we felt most comfortable with. Then we met Jane! She is a wonderful person! She knows real estate and all of it's nuances like the back of her hand AND is patient and kind no matter the circumstance. We've already passed her card out to several of our neighbors. We highly recommend her!

Occasionally, you find professionals who are so on top of their game and good at what they do that you can actually relax and know that you're in good hands. We felt that way with Shana Garcia with the Venturi Team. At every step of the process, she suggested and negotiated things that helped us with our goals. We felt she was really looking out for our interests, not just trying to make the sale end quickly. We got a great price on the house and ample assistance with closing costs and repairs from the seller. In lots of small ways, she had our backs and was able to make things go smoothly when they could have fallen apart. She was great at talking with the seller's agent in particular, to explain our requests and so on, and I think it's good to have an agent who knows how to talk to the seller's agent well. She's also just a pleasure to work with and very professional and friendly, with a good sense of humor and an unflappable attitude (which helped us when when we were stressed out). We were a little intimidated by the whole house buying process, but she helped us feel comfortable and confident. We often remarked that we were happy to be bringing such a competent and professional agent with us when it came to negotiation with the seller.We would definitely recommend her as someone who will help look out for your needs.The Venturi Team in general was also very professional when it came to the closing process and helping us to meet deadlines and have the information we needed. We felt that we were in good hands! We also recommend Nolo's Essential Guide to Buying Your First Home (no affiliation). Between this book and working with the Venturi Team we felt really confident, even though we were going through house-buying for the first time!

We recently purchased a home remotely (out of state) with Christine Vigil. We don't think we could have done this without Christine. Her knowledge combined with her professionalism made it seem seamless to us. She was right there with us every step of the way. Christine's associate Trish was equally as professional and helpful.Christine took the time to truly understand our needs which resulted in a beautiful home we know we'll love for many years. We would recommend Christine and Trish in a heartbeat! You can not go wrong with the team.

Jane Way was such a great help for us finding a home for us and also a huge help in walking us through the buying a house while being out of the area. I would definitely use her again for buying or selling a home. I would recommend anyone to use them.

Ms Jane Elizabeth Way was such a pleasure to work with in a market that was quickly changing. She offered valuable information to list my home at the best selling price for me as well as an attractive price for potential buyers. My home received offers beginning on the first day and sold within the first week at asking price. She offered her expertise in making my home the most inviting to prospective buyers. I highly recommend Ms Way as a wonderful and experienced realtor who listens well to the concerns and requests of her clients in the friendliest manner.

My wife and I live in another state and were looking for a vacation and future retirement home in the Albuquerque area and contacted Lisa Pino. I thought the prospect of purchasing a home remotely would be very difficult, but Lisa made the entire process easy. She gave us a virtual tour of several homes that met our requirements, and was quick to give us her honest opinion on the true condition of homes and neighborhoods we inquired about. After finding the perfect home, Lisa kept us informed on every detail throughout the entire buying process. Simply put, Lisa was amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a new home!

We have purchased several homes due to our moves all over the country and this was absolutely the worst agency/agent we have ever had a home purchase transaction with in buying our 6th home here in New Mexico. I highly recommend selecting a different agency. I truly wish we had fired our agent on day one but since we purchased during the pandemic and were purchasing from out of state with a deadline to move due to a job transfer we had to get the deal done. It was a very stressful time for us and we had a small window to look at homes and make a decision. Our agent lied to us on more than one occasion and treated us as if we had never been through this process before, incredibly dismissive and condescending, at one point during our meeting. To top it off, she did not show up for the inspection for closing but actually lied to us and said they did- which we could not be there for and depended on her. We were later told that she was a no-show - absolutely UNACCEPTABLE and unprofessional. A complete failure to represent their client. We were later informed of this by the seller's agent, that she never showed at the scheduled time- yet our agent called us the day it was scheduled and blatantly lied to us. She told us everything was good to go. It definitely was not and we have had nothing but problems that we ended up dealing with on our own and have cost us out of pocket, after the house closed. Do not hire this agency or any of its agents. Our agent was lazy - dialing it in every step of the way. It is unfortunate, because our last agent and several other agents in previous cities we have lived in and purchased homes, received several client referrals from us. However, here in Albuquerque, I will tell anyone we meet asking for an agent referral, not to hire a real estate agent with this agency, after our experience with them.
