Get to Know Rachele

Rachele Griego is one of Santa Fe’s most respected and sought-after real estate advisors, known for her boutique luxury approach, deep local roots, and sharp business acumen. Named one of the Top 100 Sotheby’s International Realty agents worldwide, she is a consistent top producer who ranks in the top one percent of agents in Santa Fe based on annual sales volume. Her clients value her clear communication, calm confidence, and ability to navigate even the most complex transactions with discretion and skill.

A proud 19th-generation Santa Fean, Rachele pairs her unmatched local insight with a strong background in media, entrepreneurship, and design. After earning a degree in communications from Arizona State University, she launched her career in New York City in broadcast media. She later returned to New Mexico to pursue her entrepreneurial passions, opening and operating two successful restaurants in Taos and Taos Ski Valley and running several other small businesses and expanding her real estate portfolio. This diverse experience sharpened her instinct for branding, negotiation, and client service, skills that translate directly into her work as a real estate advisor.

What My Clients Say

"Rachele Griego was such a wonderful agent for us! Our deal was not easy to close delays with the title company, mismanagement of the loan with the bank, and she very professionally and successfully managed it all and helped us close on the vacation property of our dreams. She worked tirelessly to bring everything together, all while treating all parties involved respectfully. By far the best agent we have ever worked with! Highly recommend!"

"Recently, we purchased our first home ever in Santa Fe, NM. COVID has created a competitive, fast-paced housing market, and we felt like fish out of water. After reaching out initially to another realtor, I quickly knew that I needed someone who was not only a great communicator but someone with an incredible sense of urgency. I reached out to Rachele, and if it wasn’t for her and her expert assessment of our position and what the market was offering, I don’t think we would have secured what we were looking for. In the future, when we decide to sell and upgrade, without a doubt, we will be reaching out to Rachele because of the trust we have in her abilities to get things done. Highly Recommended."

"Rachele made the process of buying our home in Santa Fe a total breeze! She had all the qualities we were looking for in a realtor — she knows the local market well, she’s well connected, she’s very organized, pays attention to details, and stays on top of every single deadline. And she’s a lot of fun to be around too! I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again! "

"I can’t say enough great things about Rachele. She has a great understanding of the marketplace, is very helpful in negotiating, and even helped us with finding a lender for our unique situation. We’d definitely recommend her!"

"Rachele had quite a challenge in satisfying my partner, who had lived in his house 20+ years, and me, who happily lived in a South Capitol home for two years after Rachele sold it to me in 2019. She reacted to every problem raised during a couple of “false” finds and kept being responsive and cheerful in our interactions until we are now very happily settled in a home we both love. The transaction went very smoothly. I would recommend her services to anyone."

"Rachele Griego took the time to listen to what was important to us and found us the perfect house! During our search, she guided and cautioned us as necessary, as we were not familiar with the city. She pointed out both positive features and areas of concern. She knew that having some land, shortening our commute, and unique features in a home were all important to us. Rachele was also present and available after we went under contract to make sure that details and deadlines were met. I would highly recommend Rachele for her professionalism, knowledge, and effectiveness. These days, it’s difficult to find anyone in any industry who actually listens. Rachele knocks it out of the park!"

"Rachele Griego is an amazing realtor to work with. She made the whole process so easy for us and handled all the details for us. This was very important to us because we were out-of-state buyers and did not have the time or ability to handle all of the details that go along with buying a house. She went above and beyond the call of duty. She was very knowledgeable about the current market, very responsive, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home in Santa Fe."

"I am so lucky to have been connected to Rachele for my house hunting (and finding!) process in Santa Fe! In the chaos that has been the housing market this past year, Rachele was a miracle worker and found the perfect house for me, and we closed on it. She was transparent with me through the entire process, and I trusted her with everything. She grew up in the area and knows the neighborhoods to the letter. She communicates extremely well and effectively, and again, I cannot believe we were able to secure a home in this market. She feels like a member of the family and understands each individual's unique needs when looking for a new home, which is not an easy job! Her instincts are spot on, and it was so natural to move through the home search and buying journey with her by my side. Honestly, I’m still in shock at how easy the entire process has been and am so excited for this new chapter, all thanks to Rachele!"

"Rachele is an amazing realtor! She’s smart and extremely knowledgeable about the local market, which was especially helpful since we are new to the area. She’s got a great demeanor, is very communicative, and stays even-keeled even when things get hot. She advised us well throughout the process, from initial viewing, through offer, negotiation, and tons of back and forth throughout the inspections, disclosures, and closing. It was a fast-paced and sticky situation, and Rachele helped us navigate everything with nuance and expertise. You would be lucky to get Rachele as your realtor."

"I had dealt with another real estate agent in Santa Fe with very questionable ethics, and finding Rachele was a breath of fresh air. She was very professional and went above and beyond to help us with this purchase."

"Rachele was terrific. We sort of found her by accident and are very fortunate we did. She is the right blend of encouragement, professionalism, attention to detail, and hard work. She uses modern online collaboration platforms and good old-fashioned human nature skills. We were very lucky to find her and our dream house."

"We could not have been more thrilled with every moment of our time working with Rachele, who helped us to sell our vacation home in Santa Fe. Having worked with other realtors in this market before with frustrating and disappointing results, and interviewing multiple agents prior to listing our home this time, it was clear from our first conversation that Rachele was the best choice by far. Her responsiveness, professionalism, organization, and proactive approach helped us to avoid problems we never would have seen coming, and her positive attitude every time we spoke or met made us feel comforted in what could be a very stressful situation. That's not to say we didn't have challenges; there were plenty along the way, but her intimate and comprehensive knowledge of the luxury home market in Santa Fe, and her expertise in all aspects of the real estate industry, allowed us to trust her guidance at every step of the process. In the end, we sold our home for way more than we thought possible! We look forward to working with Rachele again and highly recommend her for any of your real estate needs. The best part, we're happy to now consider her a friend. Thank you, Rachele!"

"My husband and I were considering retiring to Santa Fe from Orlando and had lined up several houses we wanted to see in a weekend. Rachele knew every house and area. She helped us identify the part of town that was best for us, and we were able to close on a wonderful home. Rachele is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and personable. She not only helped us with purchasing our home but also with many issues post-closing. We give her our best recommendation."

"I contacted Rachele because of her deep and familiar roots with Santa Fe and the old adobe homes in the area. Rachele listened to what we were looking for in an old adobe near the downtown area, and she found us the wonderful place, which is now ours. Rachele guided us through working with the seller's agent to have the necessary repairs made before we were able to move in. She continues to be an incredible asset to us as we do renovations. I highly recommend Rachele to anyone new to Santa Fe who is looking to purchase a home."

"We are repeat clients of Rachele and enjoyed another great transaction using her valuable insights regarding the Santa Fe market. She brought a property to our attention that was not currently on the market, but she knew would fit our tightly-focused search parameters. She was correct; it was the perfect fit, and we closed on the home within two weeks. Thank you, Rachele, for always going above and beyond!"
