Questions about these services

How are real estate agents paid in New Mexico?

Compensation is negotiable and set out in writing. Sellers sign a listing agreement; since August 2024 buyers sign a written buyer agreement before touring homes with an agent, stating what the agent will be paid and by whom.

Does Rio Rancho Realty & Investment work with both buyers and sellers?

Most agents and brokerages represent both, but not in the same transaction without written consent. Ask how Rio Rancho Realty & Investment handles dual agency or designated agency under New Mexico law.
