About Avril
A wee bit about my background. I have over 14 years of experience in real estate and many years of experience in other industries in administrative and management roles so I have what it takes to get you through all of the stages of the buying process as smoothly as possible. I pride myself on being extremely efficient, detail-oriented, and organized – in fact, I used to own an organizing business!
I grew up in Northern Ireland and emigrated to the US in my 20s. My Northern Irish background means that I have a no-nonsense approach to both life and business, but coupled with a great sense of humor! My background informs my approach to real estate. This means two things: 1) I believe that buying a home is an adventure and should be fun and exciting; and 2) I bring a no-nonsense and “unflinchingly honest” approach to making sure you find a home that meets your needs and that you get the best deal possible.
I’ve lived in Massachusetts, Florida, and California and moved to Santa Fe after realizing I’ve been here six times on vacation. I love hiking, travel, good food, and arts and culture – all areas where Santa Fe has literally hundreds of options. I enjoy opportunities to share all that Santa Fe has to offer and am a great resource for local information.
I volunteer at a local homeless shelter and am deeply involved in the community on a number of issues with the goal of making Santa Fe a great place to live for all members of the community, regardless of what their socio-economic background is.
I rely on personal referrals and repeat business so I’m motivated to build long-term relationships with my clients and provide the highest level of service possible.
To get started on your buying journey, we’ll do an initial meeting either over the phone or in-person at my office so I’ll have a chance to hear your unique story behind your move. I love accents because I have one, so I always get a kick out of guessing where you are from originally. You’ll share your passions and priorities and that will help me find you the perfect home. You’ll also learn why I’m passionate about what I do.
