So Why Santa Fe?

Mention “Santa Fe, New Mexico,” and instantly, there’s an image in your mind, right? Picture the bustling Plaza, cozy kiva fireplaces, the art-lined Canyon Road, and stunning Native American crafts. Imagine the aroma of green chile, the sight of twinkling farolitos, and those iconic adobe walls. Think of savoring red chile enchiladas at The Shed. Envision crisp mornings, exhilarating runs at Ski Santa Fe, and breathtaking views from Dale Ball trails. And yes, always a bit more green chile. Because it’s what we all love more than anything!

After over twelve years in Santa Fe and a lifetime in New Mexico, we can confirm it’s a dream come true. If you’re dreaming of a Santa Fe life, we’re here to make that a reality. Your story is crucial, and we’re eager to hear it. Knowing my story might help you decide if I’m the right Realtor for you.

And Why Bunny Terry and Adam Parent?

Let’s talk about Bunny:

First, I’m a New Mexican. I love this place so much that I write a blog and run a podcast entitled “I Love New Mexico.” Find it here and find the corresponding FB and IG pages here: Facebook I Love New Mexico; and IG I Love New Mexico

Second, I’m a stage 4 colon cancer survivor. That survival colors everything I do now, from celebrating the sunrise to giving my time and cash to causes I believe in. More on that later.

Third, I grew up in a small town (Logan, NM, pop. 1,100) in northeastern NM where I knew everyone. My family was a long line of hard-working farmers. I learned that community, hard work, and small town customer service were the most important parts of my business and personal life.

If you’re seeking a Realtor with deep New Mexico roots, a tenacious spirit, and a dedication to clients and community, we might just be the ideal match.

Here’s the rest of the story:

I’ve been a licensed real estate professional since 2004, with the past twelve years dedicated to mastering the Santa Fe market. Before relocating to Santa Fe, I co-owned Ute Lake Premier Properties in Logan, dealing in diverse properties, from modest lots to multimillion-dollar ranches. I was also a key player in Dos Rios at Ute Lake, overseeing the transformation of bare land into a luxurious lakefront community. Simply put, whether it’s selling, buying, or developing, if it involves real estate, I have the expertise you need.

Having the privilege to work with every type  of seller and buyer for almost a decade in Logan and at Ute Lake was the best real estate education I could have asked for.

I’m grateful every day for the perfect clients I get to meet in this business. Together, we strive towards their ultimate goal – whether it’s securing their dream home or effectively marketing and selling their significant investment in Santa Fe real estate.

I’m deeply thankful to have joined Real Broker, LLC, whose “Work Hard, Be Kind” motto resonates perfectly with my ethos. Coupled with the outstanding group at Bell Tower Santa Fe Real Estate, I’ve truly found the ideal place for my real estate career to flourish.

In the past, I’ve also been a very active supporter of  ArtSMART Santa Fe, I’ve been involved in volunteering and teach little kids at Christ Church Santa Fe,  and I’ve given countless hours of my time to Fight Colorectal Cancer, fundraising locally and lobbying at the national level for increased funding for cancer research and changes in accessibility to screening.  As a survivor of stage iv colon cancer, I believe strongly in “To whom much is given, much is required.” I very happily and gratefully volunteer for those causes that are near and dear to my heart.

But I’m not all work and no play. As I said, I love New Mexico and all it has to offer, writing a well-followed podcast and blog by the same name. Feel free to drop by and check out the conversations and blog that are “all things New Mexican” from family stories to travel advice to recipes for my Grandma’s Chocolate Pie to when you should plant your tomatoes in Eastern New Mexico.  

As a real estate broker, I’m committed to making each transaction the least complicated and easiest one you’ve ever been involved in. But more than that, I like my job. I like matching people with other people, sellers with the perfect buyers, buyers with a home that will make their Santa Fe life as magical as mine is. I tell folks I’m a happiness facilitator, building lifetime relationship with my clients.

Give Adam and me a call. Let’s get started on this journey to fulfill your Santa Fe Real Estate dream!

Now All About Adam Parent (who, by the way, was Bunny’s Real Estate Assistant in 2016 and 2017 before he left to manage his family’s real estate photography and videography business):

Adam Parent’s journey began on the West Coast of the United States, where he spent his early years immersed in the diverse environments of California, Oregon, and Washington. A decade ago, he discovered his affinity for New Mexico, particularly enchanted by Santa Fe’s rich historical tapestry, cultural vibrancy, and stunning natural scenery. This connection was so profound that he and his family decided to make it their permanent home.

Adam’s professional background is as varied as it is impressive, encompassing multiple entrepreneurial ventures and a degree in theology. This unique blend of experiences has endowed him with a deep understanding of business dynamics, a compassionate approach towards others, and a consistently positive and kind demeanor. His prior involvement in real estate photography and marketing has equipped him with a nuanced understanding of the real estate industry, enabling him to navigate its complexities with both style and grace.

What truly drives Adam is his passion for assisting others and his aspiration to create enduring value in people’s lives. Real estate, for him, is not just a profession but a platform through which he can guide individuals in making one of their most significant life decisions. Every day, Adam feels privileged to live and work in Santa Fe, a city he considers among the most dynamic in the world, and to help others find their place in it.

Adam Parent’s story is not only marked by professional success but also by a spirit of adventure and a touch of humor. Before settling in New Mexico, Adam and his wife embarked on a unique journey, traveling across the southern United States for over two years with their four small children in tow.

This extraordinary expedition was a blend of education, exploration, and family bonding. They homeschooled their children on the road, turning each day into an educational adventure, balancing lessons with visits to every museum and roadside attraction they could find. This experience wasn’t just about sightseeing; it was a humorous and sometimes chaotic quest to embrace the quirky and the educational, from the grandest museums to the most obscure roadside wonders.

This chapter of their lives added a rich layer of experiences and stories to their family’s tapestry, and it’s a period that Adam often reflects upon with a mixture of fondness, amusement, and a slight bewilderment at how they managed it all. Now, settled in Santa Fe, Adam brings this same sense of adventure, flexibility, and humor to his work in real estate, ensuring that each interaction is not just a transaction but a memorable and enjoyable journey.
