So glad I found Paula. All communication was quick and accurate. She went above and beyond her call of duty to me many times. Especially after closing.

Paula was great and especially knowledgable where I wanted to buy in Hidden Lake. The reason that I initially decided to have her show me some listings was the quick and thorough responses through email and text. To this day she's one of the most responsive people I've found in the entire Moreno Valley.

Paula helped us find the right home for our family in Taos. Given our price range and the competitive market she was very helpful in our search and patient with us as we zeroed in on a property that suited all our needs. There were some difficulties with the seller that she helped guide us through, and she went above and beyond on securing some documentation the mortgage company required. We are grateful for her help.

Paula found me the perfect house. I just moved in and I love it. It filled all my requirements including a spectacular view. She had time and patience to let me see anything close in my price range. Plus she was excellent company while we we looked.

I have purchased and sold a number of houses and properties over the years in TX and Colorado. This condo was my first buy in NM. From start to finish, this was my best experience. Paula is smart, interesting, efficient. She knows the market. She understands her clients' needs. She is also fun and makes the buying process easy. I'd easily recommend her to anyone shopping for real estate in Northern NM. Second go-round with Paula. We sold the condo through her and we were once again fully pleased with her knowledge, effort and service.

I decided to sell my little casita in early September. I interviewed more than one agent before deciding to go with Paula, who impressed me with her knowledge of comparable properties for sale and of recent sales, including prices, all during our first phone call. Other agents I interviewed were vague about such matters and indicated they would research it further. Although I was clear my main interest was selling my casita rather than buying another place, other agents were more focused on selling me a new house. Paula did not do this. She was entirely focused on what I wanted. She put my interests first. Paula gave me great advice about how to prepare my house for showings too. I thought it would take months or longer to sell my casita but thanks to Paula's hard work, I had a contract on my place for a very good price within one week. Although the buyer experienced a personal emergency and had to back out of the contract, Paula immediately contacted agents who had called her about my place and within 12 hours a new buyer signed a contract to buy my casita, and for a better price! The property closed last week, one month after I contracted with Paula to sell my place. Paula is amazing, smart, hardworking. She places her clients' interests first and she delivers. I can't recommend her highly enough.

My wife has physical limitations, most realtors don't have the patience for her, not so with Paula. We have been looking for a place for over a year, and Paula found it. I will recommend her to all my friends.

As a first time home buyer, Paula was immeasurably helpful in keeping me abreast and informed of all the crucial steps necessary for a Buyer. When many details unexpectedly surfaced, Paula always handled the situation with graciousness, aplomb, knowledge, strategy and remained supportive of me as her client. She has lived in the area long enough to be savvy about third parties that may need to be involved. I highly recommend having Paula Madappa on your real estate team!

I found Paula on the Internet while searching for a property in Taos, New Mexico. I sent an email request for more information on a property and she responded almost immediately. I was in her car looking at a variety of properties, all with the goal of showing me what was available and how the range looked from low to high. Within 48 hours we were in contract and I have to say when the cold feet showed up... she was thoughtful, patient and clear about the pro's and con's. I was grateful that I had her on my side when I picked up my new keys from her personally. Class... from start to finish.

Paula displayed deep knowledge of the local market, was very helpful is showing us properties on our first visit. She facilitated negotiations with the seller to bring the parties together to a mutually agreeable price quickly. She has followed up during and after the closing for any other assistance since this was a long distance purchase and not an immediate occupancy.

In February of this year Paula Madappa responded to an online inquiry I made about a Zillow property within minutes. Because it is rare to have an experienced real estate person contact you by phone within minutes I knew that Paula would be an excellent broker in helping me to find the home I was looking for in the Taos, NM, area. Within 30 minutes Paula had provided me with a list of several residences to look at within my price range, and personally took me to visit the several I was interested in. On April 29th I closed on my residence in Valdez, NM, due to Paula's expert guidance and negotiating skills. Paula is a very pleasant, knowledgeable, and proactive real estate broker who has continued to assist me as I settle into the Taos community. I highly recommend her as an exceptional real estate broker. Paula goes above and beyond to provide assistance.

We really enjoyed working with Paula from beginning to end. My wife and daughter looked at Paula's list of good candidate homes that we might be interested in. The girls worked well together so we moved onto the next steps. I drug my feet at several turns so I felt comfortable when purchasing the property without seeing it myself. We cleaned the place up last week and now see the potential that Paula saw from the beginning. Experience and good taste are qualities you don't always find in many people. Paula has that and more. Now, we move onto renting and Paula had renters two days after we cleaned up. We will move onto VRBO listing and her colleague will help manage our new rental property. Smooth as a baby's bottom as we say here in Texas.

There aren't many real estate brokers in northern New Mexico that have Paula's qualifications. When it came time to sell our home at Hidden Lake, there was no doubt that she possessed the professional skills, the stamina, and most importantly, the client base to sell our home.
Selling a home in northern New Mexico - especially a high end home - is a challenge. The market is not like California or Florida where a bidding war can occur after three days, resulting in a sale over your asking price. In New Mexico, you've got to find an agent who can effectively market your property over a long period of time and not lose interest. There are likely to be many twists and turns along the way to selling your property, and you've got to have an agent who can keep up.
Paula is exactly that kind of person. We have known her since the 1990s and watched her build a great business based on honesty, consistency, and of course, a great client list.
Here are some of the reasons that make Paula madappa a great choice:
1 - Long time presence in the real estate business in northern New Mexico. She's plugged into the market and knows what's trending.
2 - Great business location. She commands one of the most prominent locations in Angel Fire with a business location that is visible to virtually everyone who enters town.
3 - Great internet presence. Rather than hide in the backwoods of this rural area, Paula has heavily invested in her internet presence, expanding her client base and potential for new contacts exponentially.
4 - Professionalism - Setbacks do occur, and when they have, Paula has taken them in stride and dealt with them in a professional manner.
So whether you're considering the sale of your home or looking for one to buy, we recommend a visit to Paula Madappa at New Mexico Mountain Properties. She has the tools you need to get it done.

As out-of-towners looking to buy or build a second home in Taos, we didn't know anyone to ask for a reference. Paula's on-line reviews helped us decide to take a chance on her -- and we're so glad we did! She answered our inquiry immediately, was open and available for appointments in Taos, and was incredibly knowledgeable about Taos and the surrounding communities. Perhaps most importantly, she is a joy to work with: friendly, funny, interesting (like many Taosenos, she's a talented artist!) and frank. We left our first trip to Taos with an offer for a lot and a week later we were under contract -- and now we already have a friend in Taos! Just because you've never met her, don't hesitate for a second to work with Paula. You won't regret it for a second!

Paula was extremely professional throughout our first home buying experience. She was able to bring documents by our work and was always very punctual during the entire process. We had a fixed budget to work with and she wasn't judgmental about it. Paula helped get the price down to where we could afford to purchase our first home. A previous realtor didn't feel that we could afford a home in Taos, but Paula helped make our dream come true.
We would highly recommend Paula Madappa to any person attempting to purchase a home.
Thank you!

We contacted Paula in July of 2013 to help us find a potential vacation rental property in Angel Fire. Paula did a fantastic job of remotely helping us narrow down the list of homes that would work for that function. She showed tremendous knowledge about the area and worked tirelessly to get us information on management costs and upkeep fees associated with the area. We made an offer on a home, and we came to an impasse with the sellers. Paula did everything she could to try to keep the deal on track, but in the end - it just did not work out. However, we have not given up and Paula is keeping an eye out for another great property that will work for us. We would highly recommend Paula if you are looking for a buyers agent in the Taos/Angel Fire markets.

My husband and I just bought the perfect house in Taos with the tireless help of Paula. She really understood what we were looking for in a home and gave us stellar advice about what to look for when buying our first house. Paula was always available for our questions and provided excellent support in the difficult process of trying to close on a foreclosed house. She is sweet, funny and a lovely person. We are so happy to have worked with her!

Paula is amazing! She offers much more than just real estate needs. She knows the in's and out's of the area and honestly tells it like it is. Her attention to detail, constant communication and true customer service are evident with every step of the process. We had some really crazy situations come up while going through the purchase of our condo. Paula was always calm and collected and offered many resolutions for us. As my husband put it, "Paula jumped through hoops for us." She is a talented artist and great business woman. I hope anyone in the market to buy or sell has the opportunity to work with Paula.

We highly recommend Paula Madappa if you are interested in buying or selling real estate in the Taos/Angel Fire area. We recently closed on the purchase of our wonderful little mountain cabin in Angel Fire with the help of Paula. We had been looking for several months, and had worked with another realtor without good results. After seeing a foreclosed property on Trulia, I contacted Paula who immediately went into action. She braved snow drifts to confirm that the house had the views we required and promised to be available whenever we wanted to visit the property! We flew into NM the following week and made an offer on the house. Paula was in constant communication through the negotiations and all the way to closing. She worked tirelessly to get the best deal possible, and we knew she was always working on our behalf. Paula is knowledgeable, candid, efficient and fun to work with! She did a great job and we would not hesitate to work with her again and recommend her to our friends.

We are thrilled with the purchase of our parcel in Angel Fire. We both think Paula did a fabulous job for us and will recommend her services to anyone looking in the area. We had the unfortunate experience of working with another agent and then we found Paula! The difference was incalculable for a multitude of reasons. We are looking forward to building our dream home in Angel Fire and thank Paula for all her assistance.

She keeps you informed along each step of the realty process and uses her expertise to address all questions/concerns on a very timely basis. Her honesty and knowledge level is impressive.

We first contacted Paula through her website when we were looking for property in the Angel Fire, NM area. Over the course of a year or longer, Paula endured us coming out periodically to look at property, and spent DAYS showing us around the Moreno Valley. From Black Lake, to Eagle Nest, to Taos Pines --- we looked as so many properties. Paula never lagged in her energy or enthusiasm, and made the whole thing enjoyable and interesting. She was determined to find the "right" property for us, and did so in the end. She is so knowledgable about the area, and the history, and we really felt that she was looking out for our best interests. One of her outstanding traits is her up front honesty about everything. She tells it like it is, not necessarily what you might want to hear. We appreciated that SO MUCH....most agents are just looking for a quick sale, and Paula went above and beyond. Plus, she has become a good friend on top of everything. We highly recommend using her for any real estate dealings in this area. She's is one of the best!

We live in California and were looking for an income property/retirement home in the Taos/ Angel Fire area. Paula was recommended and when we met her we felt very much at ease and confident in her abilities. After our initial visit all of our contact with Paula was by phone and internet, all of which worked very well.
Paula was very helpful with information on the local area, businesses and HOA information. She showed us 5 homes as comparables to the house we were interested in which helped us with our offer.
Her expertise was invaluable in guiding us through the purchase process, helping us complete the required paperwork using an online link and explaining the sellers' and our respective responsibilities.
Paula was very responsive and kept us informed on the progress of the negotiation and answered all of our questions. She negotiated a very satisfactory sales agreement, fully addressing concerns and contingencies. Once the final offer was accepted she put us in contact with a highly qualified home inspector.
We are very happy with our home and there were no surprises.

In this extremely difficult market, Paula has invested a tremendous amount of time, energy and resources to sell my home. She has not resorted to asking me to lower my price but has accentuated the positive aspects of my home and has advertised in many venues. As a result, we have had many prospective buyers despite a rather remote locale, a secondary home market place and the horrendous economic environment. Paula is a positive go getter and will do whatever it takes to help a home seller.

We went to Paula to help us locate a cabin in the Angel Fire, New Mexico area and today we own the place dreams are made of. She was very helpful after hearing what kind of place we wanted and immediately took us to several locations. Because of her knowledge of the area and the ability to deal with any client she helped us negotiate the best deal possible and in a very short time. We have had reason to call her for help in finding different locals in the area to do painting and other jobs for us and she gave us names of excellent people that have done beautiful work for us. We feel free to call on Paula for anything she can help with and are so thankful for her knowledge and friendship. She's the best!
