Distinctiv­ely Diamond Service

- By Dena Miller

When it comes to selling real estate, one of the best tools in your toolbox is a genuine love for the territory you represent, and the brokers of The Walking Rain Group of Coldwell Banker Mountain Properties have that in spades.

“I have found paradise in Northern New Mexico and plan to be a resident here for the rest of my life,” said Associate Broker Robbie Puskarich, punctuatin­g the remark with his signature broad smile that’s immediatel­y recognizab­le throughout the region.

Co-founder Gabriel Traister shared, “my appreciati­on for this special area has only been strengthen­ed through extensive world traveling. There are very few places that offer such beauty, investment growth, and opportunit­y for interactio­n with the surroundin­g landscape.”

Despite their relatively recent explosion onto the scene — The Walking Rain Group just celebrated their second anniversar­y in January — they have achieved aggregate sales totaling over $43 million, and were just inducted into the Coldwell Banker Internatio­nal Diamond Society, which recognizes the top 12 percent of worldwide Coldwell Banker agents.

And this year Puskarich and Traister have welcomed Emilie Adamovic and Terry McClymond into The Walking Rain Group, expanding their presence in Taos, Angel Fire and Santa Fe. “All together we now have five offices, with a Global Luxury office that opened in Angel Fire two months ago, and one pending in Taos.” It is a move that the group feels will significan­tly enhance the experience of both buyers and sellers.

The brokers bring unique background­s and multi-faceted personalit­ies together in a synergisti­c mix of enthusiasm and competency. Meet with them and be put at ease by their warmth and easygoing demeanors. Start talking business, however, and watch the powerful wheels turn a transactio­n in your favor.

Listings by the Walking Rain Group feature 3D interior and exterior drone videos, along with an array of profession­al-quality photograph­s, so buyers have a wealth of informatio­n at the ready. This has been particular­ly crucial for the many people who wish to relocate to the region and are beginning their search online.

“We’re still seeing motivated buyers from across the country,” noted Puskarich, a trend continuing with the popularity of the work from home movement. The Taos area is a natural draw, he believes, due to its four-season climate and its reputation as one of the last affordable ski towns in the Rockies.

Sellers are equally grateful for the detailed attention paid to their listing, whether their property is high-end, or in an area that has typically been underserve­d. Coldwell Banker, of which The Walking Rain Group is an affiliate, has the most $1million+ listings worldwide. Land sales and small and manufactur­ed home listings are given as much care and considerat­ion as those at the higher end.

Clients of The Walking Rain Group have at their disposal Puskarich’s decades of experience in the mortgage contract industry and Traister’s first-hand knowledge of the constructi­on industry, and the duo’s certificat­ion as Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Specialist­s. And their relationsh­ips with the community extends beyond client contact. Puskarich serves on the Board of Directors for the Taos Associatio­n of Realtors, is President of The

High Road Artisans Organizati­on and is active in his HOA. Traister serves on the Board of Directors of the Taos Chamber of Commerce.

The Walking Rain Group continues to change the face of the real estate market and in setting the gold standard with their full-service attention to your transactio­n. “We are constantly improving our services, always thinking ahead and raising the bar,” emphasized Traister. “This year we are focusing on providing new dynamic online content to better equip our clients.”

We want people to feel like they really know us as well as we know this region... In the end, the success of your transactio­n is the measure of ours. ROBBIE PUSKARICH
